I've got a '98 mitsu eclipse gsx and I cannot get the axles out of the hubs, which I need to change. A mechanic suggested Oxy/acetylene, which doesn't sound great to me. Any ideas on how to break these apart?

I picked up a 2000 323ci with a manual transmission, and according to BMW the tranny and diff are filled with lifetime fluid I've got some royal purple 75-90 and synchromax for the tranny. Good choices??? I thought I would double check here.

Well, I'm a Pu$$y. I started doing the lower manifold gasket on my woman's Malibu, and I quit once I got the injector rail off. NOw, I've noticed that the thing uses some coolant. What should I do? Try it again? or, should I take it to a professional. Who has done this job?

how much pressure should I put on the fuel rail in my '99 malibu to get the injectors to seat? I don't want to go too far, but I'm putting some serious weight into the thing and am not moving the injectors any deeper. Any hints on how to make this work better?

Okay, I started the intake manifold gasket project this evening, and currently I have just taken off the fuel rail, and I am supposed to take the valve covers off next. Here is the problem... I am seriously thinking of putting it back together from here, wasting all of the time and effort, and a...

I just finished a 2kmi clean phase in both of these systems, and flushed both completely to do a rinse. First, is it necessary to change the PS system again? Second, how long should I run this? There is substantial improvment in the ps system.

This thing only works on fan settings three and higher. I'm assuming that I need to replace the whole piece, but I wanted to check and see if there is a possible fix before I go searching the junkyard.

I'm currently in a rather tight financial situation supporting my fiance. She cannot seem to understand basic fiscal reasoning, and every time I bring it up we get into a horrible fight. It's getting to the point where I am extrememely worried about my financial viability over the next few...

Kicked the you know what out of the Patriots last night. Way to go!

I've just been put in charge of taking care of a '04 Elantra. Can I purchase bulk oil and still do changes with only written documentation of the changes? I'm no familier with new car warrenties and doing your own work when it comes to problems, and even with Hyandai's new found initial quality...

I just finished the first cleaning stage on a '93 Acura Legend with 100kmi on it. There is significant sludge/varnish on the inside of the head where you can peer in through the filler cap, and the car uses about a quart every 2,000mi. There has been absolutely no change in anything after the...

Howdy ya'll. My girls beaten Taurus that I've mentioned on here before finally breathed its last. It cracked the back head. Word on the street is that it would have cracked a cylinder in less than a year if fixed, so I bought her a super clean '99 Malibu with 73kmi on the clock. It's a strong...

I mean the real one. Gin (Vodka is OK) just a touch of vermouth and some olives. Is there anything better than having a martini and looking at your oil collection with pride? I know, most on here would probably prefer beer, but being the wannabe yuppie that I am... Nothing gives quite the...

Between my new job where I can't surf BITOG and my 15 credits of classes I can't find any time to hang out. Give me some ideas. Should I quit the new job? What about dropping out of school? Help guys, I can't live without OIL!

I just got my 2 bottle order of ARX!!! Now, to start a little controversy, Frank said that dino oil is better in engines that tend to produce sludge. He has some convincing arguments. If it is not too difficult I will be removing the valve covers from the '93 Legend that is getting the...

Hey guys, I'm going to bite the bullet. Last time I changed my Dad's oil there was nothing on the dipstick, and there is hardcore sludge in the filler area. It's also eating tons of oil-which is amazing, because it doesn't smoke, and it runs great. Also, coolant levels are fine. Anyway, I'm...

I realize that the majority of those on this board are conservative, and I percieve a definite David vs. Goliath attitude amongst the left leaners on this board. Here is what I want to know -- How can you support Kerry? Kerry, and his running mate, are the most hypocritical people I've ever...

Sorry that it's not clean. It's a '92 SAAB 900 Turbo Convertible. My, also too dirty for me, engine My homemade shift knob that I am very proud of. [ July 20, 2004, 11:58 AM: Message edited by: carrera79 ]

I am currently using firefox for the first time, and while I find it to be fast and easy to use, I am having some issues with secure websites that I use for my work. I am a mortgage broker, and entering one of my bank's secure sites it tells me that I do not have access after I enter my user...

I'm posing a question for a legitimate and, hopefully, flame free thread on the board. I would like to hear all opinions regarding the current status of malpractice insurance, tort reform and the quality of medical care in this country. I name ekpolk because of his thoughtful and persuasive...
