It’s pretty easy. Remove the brake drum. Remove the four nuts that hold the retainer plate to the axle housing flange. Slide the brake drum back over the wheel studs with the open end out. Loosely install some of the lug nuts onto the wheel studs, flat side towards the drum. Now use the drum as a slide hammer to pop the axle shaft out. Now is…[Read more]

Hi Guys,
Received a call from Renu Gas Tank and was informed that my gas tank “is like new” and has NO leak! They thought that the gasket for the fuel pick-up & return + fuel level sender on the top of the tank has failed or the hose from the top of the tank to the top of the filler neck was leaking. They gave me a new gasket and the total charge…[Read more]

Keep in mind that a larger bore increased pedal force requirements for a given braking force.

The factory studs are swaged in place after insertion. The CSM tells you to use a cutter tool to machine this swaged part off BEFORE pressing the stud out. Obviously your shop didn’t do this, which is why the hole is now oversized. Simply page through the Dorman catalog and you’ll find studs with larger splines that fit the oversize hole.

If you want get a Baer Racing “Remaster” MC. It’s short, ports on both sides, comes 15/16, 1″ , and 1 1/16″, billet alum, in colors, no brainer fit, larger bore will shorten pedal, and it’s about $400.

I believe RareParts has both. Web site is being upgrades to you need to call. Stockton CA. Buy through a shop if possible and get the good pricing.

You may check your local autozone. Mine had them in stock and even listed them in their computer system. I believe they fit many years and models.

Still can’t get on most areas of our site. Error 404 is still there.

Still having issues with ERROR404 !

I picked up some super cool NOS parts out of Hawaii. I will not use the tank on this car but I will use the cap and emblem. Now I want to find an NOS trunk lid Jetfire emblem.

I would like to know this as well. I will be replacing my rear control arm bushings but not looked into this yet. For the front, I have been watching eBay for the past couple years off and on. I picked up NOS ball joints and some steering parts from there. If time is on your side, you can pick some of this stuff up from eBay for reasonable prices.…[Read more]
