  1. Looks like a very nice time. Too bad we dont have an event like this in Ohio.. Maybe we do!
  2. Buckeye! I almost did call you but I just hate bothering people on their weekends off, afterall once the old bearing came off it was a piece of cake. I just got the car back together and took it out for a spin before it got dark. Now I can fly out tomorrow to Maui knowing that is done.
  3. Thanks Toby.. I actually did go to a bigger hammer.
  4. Success.. couple of small nics on the shaft but nothing on the splines. What a PITA.. Thanks for the help.
  5. Thanks Guys.. By tapping the bearing very carefully it moved about a half inch. it has now stopped and wont budge.. WTH??
  6. Hi Folks Need a little help.. With the help of a new Harbor Freight grinder and a cheap 24mm combo wrench I finally got the center bearing nut removed see pictures.. Question is how easy should the old bearing come off? do I need a bearing puller or could I tap it off with a hammer and chisel?
  7. Guys.. For the record I have not heard of felt any weird or strange noises "yet". and from the search function, I think I know the answers but wanted to hear it from someone with a lot more knowledge than me(which isnt much). 1. Is this center driveshaft bearing bad? 2. Is it difficult to replace? 3. Does the driveshaft need to be completly removed from the car to replace the bearing? 4. If the shaft is removed does it need to be realigned or balanced by a shop or simply reinstalled? 5. Does anyone want to stop by and help? Kidding about that one "not really"
  8. Nice looking car.. How is the engine? how does it run?
  9. After seeing sunsets like that my five year plan to move back to San Diego cant come soon enough... Nice!
  10. My recaros are also not centered on the steering wheel. I thought it was just me...
  11. Are you saying people screw the clips in or are you saying they screw the moulding on?
  12. I worked PT last year at a larg hardware store where we sold those. Lots of unhappy customers returned them. Either they used them to solve their problems and then returned them, they bought them and didnt know how to use them, or they truly didnt work. I dont really know as I've never used it, just sharing what I know about them.
  13. Thanks everyone... In the future I will reach out to Steve via email. Thanks everyone... In the future I will reach out to Steve via email.
  14. I know Blunt is pretty active here so I try to buy from him when I can but too often there are things that are listed as not stocked when I try to purchase them. Examples, heater valve, brake shoe set, brake reservoir, oil drain plug, and washer pump are only a few. What am I doing wrong? Are these parts not stocked because they are not available or are they not stocked but Blunt can get them? Im confused. help
  15. I guess here in Central Ohio Im staying in and watching Velocity channel.
