Are we ever going to meet? Even if its a mini meet it will make me happy. Or is everyone from Minnesota too shy?

I'm up for a meet but not any time soon haha too freaking cold.

Remy "where" do you think I live? ahah

ya too damn cold plus salt=rust
Too cold is right, but later on. WHO THE F CARES ABOUT BEING STOCK. This isn't a car show guys. I could care less if you're boosted or swapped, kitted out or rusted out. Just come out and hang. It would be nice to meet you guys, thats all.

too bad im 4 hours away now.....

-Brian
your not in princeton anymore? where are ya
I haven't washed the car in 3 weeks. kindasad.gif
With this procrastination....the Rock opener just might be the set date for a meet...anyone?
I have both axles, just need to install them but i have no clue how to do it correctly. I have the pdf file from another 6th gen guy but its not that great with the pictures and wording. Does anyone know of a better how to? I don't want to screw something so important up! laugh.gif

first drain the tranny lube from transmission. take off the spindle nut with either an impact or cheater bar. it's a 32mm socket. then take off the spindle nut retainer and cotter pin. remove the 3 lower ball joint nuts and bolts. pry off lower control arm from ball joint. swing suspension hub out of the way so the cv shaft can be removed from the hub. then the axle will have to be removed with a pry bar from the tranny this is tricky but keep doing it....the passenger side is easier for some reason. then clean the old cv axle seal inside the tranny. now would be a good time to put a new one in. and reverse the order when putting the new one in. for whatever reason do not start the car when the axles are out my buddy f'ed his mazda 3 when he did this..put a hole right through the tranny.
I go to school in Alexandria now

how did the axles go?


I still need to find 2 seals for end of the axles, I think I'll check Napa or something cause Checker never carries anything useful. Besides finding out that I need new rotors and pads, everything is going well without the parts I need! Can anyone recommend some nice rotors that are only grooved and nice to look at?

-Tyler
i got mine from the dealership for like 9 bucks a piece
