i see now, jam something under the nut like a pry bar to get some leverage on the nut with and try and take the nut off with the pressure of the pry bay.

ive tried that but im going to call it a night and ill try that again tomm.

frustrating day

anyone wanna help

you can tighten it? whats the worst that can happen, get as tight as you can to try and brake it.

just spins in place. wont tighten. or come off.

is it the chrome covor spinning? or is it spinning...more then likely going to have to cut it off and replace the stud

ill go take a pic.

just wont back off.

on my rear axle. i grabbed an old lug now thinking that i stripped taking off the old rear end. and put it on the new. now its stuck on there..gets to end of stud. but wont back off..just spins. know ive fucked the threads up.

tips on how to get it off?

one thing after another. get the drivers side breaks on and put the wheel on. get to last lug crank it dont and i knew i ****ed up and grabed a bad lug. (stripped) and of course. ****ing stiped the stud! lug wont come off. i put a huge damn nick in the paint because i was frustrated and now im just pissed. time to call it a night.

any tips how to get it off? i put pressure behide it but it dose nothing :fuss:

buying a BRAND new car is just about pointless imo. drive it off the lot and there gose thosuands. let someone else take that hit and talk him into a lease turned in early.

this is how we found our escape. and we saved 8k

So can the input shaft be changed to a fox one and is there any way to use a fox bellhousing or do you have to use the 94-95 one?

yes. and you use the fox bell im pretty sure.

now 5 lug swap is almost done. only thing left to do its put the drums back together and new hard lines on top of axle.

I got mine and its the 21 or 23 tooth gear for 2.99 picked up at krieger ford.

i think its 21 its purple?

thanks. little by little. i really want to get to trails before they close to see how the 3.73's do. but im pretty sure there closed now? same with 42? unless there still open. hell idk.

tomm im going to finish the underside of car. get the rear in. go get what i need to do the breaks. bend to hard lines. then im sure the drum brakes will take be the better part of the day ( i hate drums)...well Wensenday i got to go meet with my lawyer. so not sure if ill get any work done that day or not. hopefully Saturday i will have it ALL done. the tires mounted on the wheels and such. can i get the speedo gear at the dealership? or are they going to rape me on price? LMR sells them for 1.99. dealership be around that?

Ryan I have one in the garage and I can help you make custom brake lines if you want I did all custom stuff on the rear of my car with the discs

id appericate it. the bender i have sucks!

are you talking about the distribution block?

yeah. and the hard lines on the axles. id rather just buy this from someone on here if they have them. i really dont feel like sitting out there and bending brake lines becasue im horrible at it.

i keep breaking shit so this is take 20 times longer then it should. :sad:

not so much the break lines. i can bend and flare if needed to a new line. but i need the i dont even know what its called bit its the 2 into 1 on a stocl 5.0 8.8 here is a pic.. my fitings are frozen in it and heat poped it so it no good now

well i need to track down some new lower controlling arm bolts. went to napa..nothing..ford. guy didnt even know what i was talking about with "lower controlling arm hardware" dumb people..lol.

any idea where i can look? i was thinking hardware store. on the bolt it says 10.9..but these are metric? so as long as i get a 8 up grade bolt then i would be fine right?

so in mean time i cleaned it up some...

added the fulid/friction modifer and got the diff cover on. now if i could find my 11MM open end wrench i would put the brake lines on the new rear end but it missing in action at the moment.

Looking good man, I love that car and at such a steal of a price and so clean you need to hold on to this one for a while lookin good if there is anything under there that looks crusty now is the time to clean it up...

 

Ill try and come over tommorw and check it out

thatd be cool man. you can grab the axles too. 20 bucks both of em are yours.

i hate drum breaks lol. i dont even know where to start with them ha.

235/50/17 wow tall skinny tires

i made a mistake...there 235/45/17 but yeah there for the front. 245/45/17 for the back.

245/45/17 fit perfect in the front. when i got to do tires in spring or something i wonder if 265/45/17 with fit in rear then 245/45/17 up front.

ok. i gave the bolt hell with the BFSH. and lower controlling arm came right out...i hate drums..and im not looking forward to putting them back together lol.

i have one hear that you can use...come get it..it worked great on arrons car

would i be able to come borrow it tomm? im not sure if i can get outta the house right now.

most people don't have the tools we do so the heat and cool doesn't work.

yeah i know. i cant even get a saw in there to cut the bolt either. anything else i can try

i get the head of the bolt redish in color , then splash it with water. smack it with the hammer then heat it again..sometime it helps heating the thread side some to.

my torch wont get it hot enough. im out of ideas now.
