Just watched your video this is so much easier. Any way I can get the plans from you to build one? Please and thank you! It's time to change the shock cords again on my 1955 tri pacer
Excellent Job of teaching as you covered everything clearly. I bought my 76 Corvette 15 years ago and did a frame off and 70 percent new parts. When i reinstalled these spindles back then I did not go through this process. I am 73 now and nearing finish with the car. When I took it for a drive I could hear a noise that sounded like a u joint binding up, but they were all OK. Up on the lift we moved the left right tire, top and bottom in and out and found it had more slack than needed. or expected The noise was only heard as the car moved along about 1 or 2 miles an hour like pulling into the garage. I believe this is our problem and I received my new complete Kit on Amazon with tools and bearings yesterday. I may report my findings here after I complete the installation and gauging as you have shown so again thanks for a great teaching video. God Bless 👍
Sir, the spacer that comes with the kit- is it used just for setting up and measuring purposes or is it also installed during final assembly to go into the vehicle? Or do you use the vehicle's original spacer?
Sir, I really appreciate your video! It is excellent and very informative. It cleared up a lot of mysteries for me. Thank you! Was wondering if you could tell me where you got your spindle setup tool and where I could get those selective spacers?
I got the tool from Willcox, but I think they are no longer around. I did find one at Corvette Central in the tool section on the last page....it was about $88. The shims I got at Tom's Differentials, you can see it in the catalog on pg16.
I thank you for your helpful information! I can't seem to find a current Tom's catalog. Would you by chance still have the part number for that spacer kit?
Thanks for the video.I bought a wiper blade puller off amazon I broke the plastic knob on the puller.The wiper blade was totally seized.Never knew cutting the nut only solution.Bought the whole rear wiper blade unit on amazon.ca for $25.00 all in.Thanks again for the video.Excellent
My 09 has the angle sensor on the steering column where the u-joint on the shaft attaches to which I don’t see on your car. I couldn’t get the shaft off without prying against that sensor and possibly breaking it, and the clutch pedal makes space even more tight. Anyone have any tips?
I've been using the RainX Latitudes. They were only about $16 each at Walmart but if I recall correctly they were double that at all of the auto parts store chains.
A little note of caution ---- if after removing the blade assembly - the arm can pop down on the windshield with enough spring force to break it. I saw this happen outside an auto parts store. He wasn't a happy camper!
My 07 Pontiac G5 sometimes has a rattle within the passenger door so, When I was at a junk yard, (I was in a rush because they were closing) I saw a cobalt or G5 door that was disassembled & I saw this white colored piece of styrofoam & I think it goes on the passenger door but, I cannot remember if it was a 4 door cobalt or a 2 door g5? I was hoping this styrofoam would tighten up this door & stop any rattle but, I do not see where it is suppose to go? Was hoping to see it in a video? Its 2-4 inches thick & about a foot long so, a strip.
Thanks! This video helped me. In case anyone is wondering why their's didnt come off so easily. My stock one wasn't adjustable to reduce the length, and i had to unbolt the steering column. (make sure you mark it). New replacement was adjustable, and went right in. :)
