Cars & Transportation - 8 April 2007

I am currently an auto tech student and one of the best in my class but I have only been wrenchin for bout four months now and I took a side job this weekend fixin my neighbors ball joints And apparently I bit off more than I can chew. I have never seen this kind of Hub and axle set up before with all these C clips and what looks like the brake rotor/wheel bearing is a single unit. Please just tell me how I get that assembly seperated from the wheel. Some Trick? Thanks

Hello out there, I know that out there is someone whom can give me their experience with 92 vette ignition troubleshooting. I blew radiator hose, complertely drenched engine. Checked fuses, coil, ignition module, wires. The initial computor codes suggested Opti-Spark distributor. However, after disconnecting all wires & connectors and blowing out with forced air, I no loger get dstrbtr code, but now I am getting: ECM, PCM, &
TPS codes Hanes manual say's there are no additional tests that can differentiate weather or not the problem is the ECM or the distributor. Can I assume that at this point I should start by replacing ECM & then, if still no spark the Distributor? Perhaps after installing ECM it will give me more accurate results. I can take it to the dealer & have it fixed but I don't want to put OEM if it is just going to fail again.
Thank's a bunch!
Brian

I have a sailing boat and I tried several painting cycles, it seems to be good for the shaft but not for the propeller because the antifouling was removed after few months the boat had been in the water.

Hi, I have a problem with my brakes. I got new brakes 5 month ago on the back and for the front 1 month ago( and at the same time, got new rotors on the back becaus I thought that caused the noise, nope) my car is still sweeking and loud I might add as if I had no braakes left at all( but it's not the brakes they are new. Can anyone tell me what can it be. I want some kind of heads up before I get scammed from a brake shop telling me I need new ones again. thanks a lot, chyna

I want to check the engine timing. If anyone has a service manual I am sure it would be in there. When we give alot of throttle on our tractor it has trouble buring it all up. Another thing I would like to know is the point gap.

It has 42k miles on it & it's in excellent condition. I just bought it last week & i'm starting to enjoy it, BUT i want to know what to expect later on when it has higher mileage,in the 60s , 70s or more.
Does they performe as good with high mileage or should i expect trouble after certain mileage ???
Was it a wise decision that i bought a Porsche & went against my friends advice who recommended a Japanez car ?
