What have you done to your P5 today?

[Taus-MP5]

Back to cleaning engine bay.....so other than wrapping up the air filter(Sri) is there anything else that it would be wise to cover up?

[HKPRO5]

[ScratchNSniff]

Clean engine bay with steam...detail places usually do it for around $20...

 

[JKoscoe]

Are there any P5's for sale or trade in Ohio?

 

[HKPRO5]

Damn s*** is just not going right for you.

What did you bring it in for?

 

[bgibb68]

Harbour freight had a nice lightweight Jack and its about the only one that fits under my caranf its usually on sale too for Like 120

 

[Taus-MP5]

HAHA that looks soo silly w the 12 inch wheel (or w.e it is ..havent checkd my spare in a while)

But that sucks man, hope a tire place can get it out and fix it free like Discount Tire did for me 2wice!!

 

[ScratchNSniff]

[ScratchNSniff]

Interesting...the two spares I got out of the car at the scrap yard were 13's...they were Sedans though...

 

[Taus-MP5]

I don't see why it wouldn't...



Congrats on biting the bullet.

One would think it would be either of those, but Chinese think in weird ways (rofl2)

So I thought it would be smooth sailing with the drivers side
bearing...(seeing as I changed the wrong side) anyways I can't get the tie rod
Or the hub off the axle. So I'm going to let the penetrant sit till tomorrow....

Did you try the BFH? I couldn't get my drivers side axle out either. I beat the hell out of it with a BFH, tons of PB Blaster and an air hammer. Then my friend sprayed some of that canned freezing stuff and it budged loose. Might be worth a shot.

My tie rods popped out with a couple wacks with the BFH. As you know, just be careful not to mushroom the bolt ends or the nuts will be a b**** to re-thread. I was putting on new tie rods and axels so I wasn't worried about them. Best of luck, mate.

 

[justanothermp5]

when your trying to hit the tie rod loose, leave the nut on so you dont accidentally **** the threads up, then beat on the actual hub part that the tie rod bolt goes through.
I do it all the time at work, just beat the hell out of it like 3 or 4 times with a sledge, and boom, pops right out

 

[95blkprobe]

replaced my window regulator today as well as picked up a dentless white hood and a set of sedan headlights

 

[Alamo1]

I'd like sedan lights and a good smooth bumper where those ridiculous side markers are. MP3 style.
