Attached below are some pics, alternator completely failed, doesn't charge, brushes definitely worn down. I might replace the voltage regulator since I'm already in here and pull apart the assembly to clean if this looks repairable to clean it out.

It's a brand new seal, i just nicked the surface of it though... Can i keep using it or should i just get a new one?

So I started up the accord this afternoon, drove it for maybe 7 minutes and the oil pressure light started to blink. The car never reached midpoint on the coolant temp gauge(I'm in texas). So I didn't drive it further than maybe a few miles. I was about to turn to get out of neighborhood and I...

So I think I'm ready for an upgrade from the Harbor Freight(pittsburgh) torque wrenches. Recently did a vvti gear job and ended up snapping a cam bolt! Went and replaced the torque wrench and all was well after I walked the snapped bolt out. I think after that I will not be using Pittsburgh for...

Wondering how you guys would get this one out. It's a 10mm bolt, recessed, and the break was jagged and not clean.

Usually when I get a new car I like to change the oil out with a few short OCIs to get everything cleaned. Is there any benefit to doing this for the transmission? I swapped out the old fluid in my 99 rolla with dealer Dex-II/III fluid, however, this fluid is a mineral based oil and not a...

My partner has a 2009 Toyota Corolla. It has the infamous VVTi rattle. There are a lot of options for replacement on this part, but I don't want to buy a camshaft gear that will inevitably rattle again. Would the OEM replacement be the best option? It definitely costs more but if it's...

Working on a 1994 Honda Accord with 295k miles(odometer broke) and was wondering how you guys would go about this. So my budget isn't large, trying to keep costs as low as possible but quality somewhat decent. Would you replace with quick struts in pairs to spread out spending or just buy...

So the OEM vehicle speed sensor for my 1994 Honda Accord costs 174 dollars by itself. Probably more if I go the dealer route. I was wondering if anyone had good experiences with aftermarket vehicle speed sensors. I'm looking for the Matsushita original so I can buy that in aftermarket, but it...

Recently bought a 1994 Honda Accord(odometer broke at 295k miles) for dirt cheap as a beater/backup/project car and so far I've replaced a bunch of things. Those things including: - New valve cover gasket - New pcv valve - New balance shaft seal - New front main seal - New oil pump seal - Both...

Just like the title says. Been wondering if that would be a difficult task, have been looking at potential project cars for a little bit now. Some have broken manual transaxles that would need rebuilding. Does anyone have experience with that? Potential resources? I've been looking at an 89'...

I bought this car used at 123k miles. I changed the valve cover gasket around 125k miles and have since driven it to 128k miles. Engine pics are from a 1999 Toyota Corolla CE I know it's not as clean as some engines, but I'd like to get it there, what are your thoughts?

I found myself going into neutral at long interval stop lights lately. Aside from the general coolant and transmission fluid/filter maintenance, my theory is this will help cool the transmission and hopefully prolong its lifespan. Heat is the number one killer in most transmissions. I think...

Used a PureONE for my last oil change on my 1999 Toyota Corolla. Very happy with the results. There seems to have been some sludge that was cleaned out on this oil change.
