Ok. enough of the old thread. you all know the story by now.. my luck sucks. really bad..
so lets get her moving and legal!
but there are still a few of you willing to help I start school tomorrow, so i need her ASAP!!!
im stumped on replacing the front shock, the top bolt broke (bottom i can do..)
Then i started to get her ready for this weekend!
i made this
and its pretty much out.. i have to disconnect a hose or 2.. and finish lifting it up.
so far ive noticed, hard tranny lines NEED to be replaced, all ebrake cables NEED cradle bushings need replaced, TRYing to order asap! see fiero store site problems thread... ill need brake fluid, tranny fluid, coolant (just trying to have some organization..)
tomorrow i have to open the restaurant at 7am.. then im out at 5, and on to school by 6:15 till 10pm.. so i doubt much work tomorrow but we'll see! ------------------ See my film creations..

Whomever's going to be up there doing the transplant, if they carry drill bits, an easy-out, and some taps and dies. That should take care of the shock bolt.

Jerry, check to see if your local parts store carries "PB Blaster". It comes in a spray can, and is great on rusted bolts, etc. I couldn't get the O2 sensor in my car to budge....sprayed a little of that on it, let it sit for a couple of minutes, tapped it with a hammer to help break it loose...and it came right out, no problem. Spray it on that broken bolt, trying to get it up into the threads that are left. Wouldn't hurt to spray it a few times before "the gang" shows up to help you swap engines...may help to get it out. It will also help with any other bolts, nuts, etc., that you have to loosen or remove.
edit...congrats on starting school!
