    What bearings do I order? 03 IRS uprights

    Tried to rename this thread, but it won't show up in the forum as such. Anyway, my new question is, can I remove and re-install the axel bearings in the uprights without a press? Perhaps a ball joint type tool could work (especially with an impact..?)?

    v6/GT brakes bolt onto 03 IRS?

    Sounds strange, I know. But it's for a swap, into my 88 thunderbird. I already have 98 gt brakes and the IRS I'm looking at comes with no brakes. The guy selling it seems to think they won't bolt up, but if they are interchangeable on the solid axel, why not the IRS? thanks

    Which heater hose feeds the heter core?

    Which heater hose feeds the heater core? I am not quite done with my A/C so in the meantime, I want to put a manual cut-off valve in the heater core feed to keep some heat out of the car. I'm assuming it's NOT the line that screws into/dumps into the front of the upper intake, but I wanted to...

    Trans mount to trans bolt size?

    I was going over some things on the car and realized one of the two bolts holding the transmission to the mount is missing. I was about to pull the other one to take to the hardware store but remembered that the 5.0 + T5 was a tight fit in the 'bird (as far as getting the trans/x-mem in place)...

    How do you torque a-arm nuts??

    They are on the inside of the arms. How can you possibly get a torque wrench in there? I can easily get to the bolts on the outside but I don't think that'd be as accurate...

    What steering wheel puller?

    3 jaw is a good idea... a regular puller doesn't work cause there's no thread holes on my wheel (it's actually an expedition wheel)... thanks

    I just finished my SN dash swap in my thunderbird but need to remove the steering wheel. The same ole puller I used to used from autozone won't work. What do you all use?

    04 Mach 1 column for my fox... no keys!

    I actually had to drill the entire center out!! I stepped up to progressively larger bits until the entire thing busted out. Then I could push the pin slide it out! Thanks

    04 Mach 1 column for my fox... no keys!

    Ok, all the locksmiths in San Diego want $140-$200 to make a key or pull the tumbler. I'd be better off going to the JY and getting another column with keys!! So I'm just gona try to yank it. What's the best way to do it?

    04 Mach 1 column for my fox... no keys!

    I just got an 04 Mach 1 column for the SN interior swap in my 88 Thunderbird. Problem is I found out there were no keys included. I was told to just swap in my stock tumbler, but now I'm reading that you can't get the tumbler out with no key without risking damage to the column. What can I...

    Expedition wheel on SN column?

    Will an Expedition steering wheel (03+) bolt onto a 2002 SN column? I'm doing a SN swap in my thunderbird and I want to wire the audio buttons up to my in-car computer. Will it physically bolt on to the column properly?
