Heh, TooManyWheels' post about the Harbor Freight ball-joint press made me laugh. I actually *bent* two of those trying to get the ball-joints out of the knuckle on my '85 F150... I had also purchased the HF tie-rod remover; after few whacks, it also bent. Replaced it with a Craftsman and...

Hmm, gastrointestinal terrorism? Seems like everything else has a label these days. <img src="/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin2.gif" alt="" title="grin" height="15" width="15" />

Using Comet (w/ light pressure) or CLR usually works for me.

I have the same car and engine, but an '02. I replaced the belts earlier this year; I actually removed the right front tire and jacked the car up to have better access. Like you, I was shocked to be having so much difficulty with the power steering/water pump belt. I loosened the locknut, but...

There is a transmission repair shop (Metro Transmission) here in Columbus, OH with the following slogan: "Get your shift together at Metro Transmission" I've seen it for years, but I still get a chuckle out of it!

I have these on my 2002 Nissan Sentra, P185/65R14 tire size. About 6,000 miles on them so far. The Avid TRZ has outperformed the prior two set of tires (Dunlop SP20 and Goodyear Regatta 2) that I've had on the car. They are especially good in the rain; they are the first tires I've had on this...

I own a 2002 Sentra GXE (1.8L). The headgasket on mine began seeping (externally) around 42,000 mi. Replaced under warranty, but given how small the leak was, I bet there are plenty more of these driving around out there with the same problem. Sounds like you lost the "fever" already, but...

I guess if someone is tailgating you, all you have doo (ha!) is flush. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

For me? The BRM V-16: <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/rlemons/sounds/brm_v16.mp3" target="_blank">http://homepage.mac.com/rlemons/sounds/brm_v16.mp3</a> Be *very careful* with the volume level...if you like your speakers, that is.

Here's my shot at Studebaker. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> STUDEBAKER = Something That Usually Disappeared, Everyone Ballyhoos, Automotive Knockout Especially Restored *or* STUDEBAKER = Sedan That's Unusual, Dynamic Exterior, Built Awesomely...

Hammer = Universal Screwdriver (Think I have to give Red Green credit for that one...)

Hi BubbaP! I have a 2002 Sentra GXE (1.8L). 1.) Nothing to grease on the front end, at least that I'm aware of. 2.) When I first got the car, I was shocked to learn about the 2 7/8 quart sump. Plus the filter looks like something that should be on a riding lawnmower. <img border="0" title=""...

Got 9.5 years out of an OEM Motorcraft battery in a 1985 Mercury Topaz. I changed it becuase I thought it sounded just a little weak one 35 degree morning in late-fall.

I also am stumped as to how they get their "stuff" under the eave. Laser-guided targeting system? <img border="0" alt="[I dont know]" title="" src="/forums/graemlins/dunno.gif" /> My car (at the time one year old) got bombed once by what had to be a goose in mid-flight distress. Could have...

Gives new meaning to the term "dump truck"... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

For me, the OE Dunlop SP20 tires that came on my Sentra. Decent in the dry, shaky in the rain, horrifying on snow, where they went sideways better than forward. In only a couple of inches of snow, I felt like I was driving an unloaded pickup truck with bald tires... Replaced them with...
