    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    The method I'm going to take: I'm going to use an extractor (craftsman ez out) and slide a thin copper tube into the hole. This will hopefully protect the diff house theads and then I'll put the extractor through the pipe to get to the screw. I'll try to back it out that way. If the...

    Catted H pipe for 96-98 cobras??

    I have a mac catted h-pipe and it sounds badass and the finish and quality in my opinion is top notch. It comes coated in some black paint or something and all the fittings were very nicely done. I get a little drone when easing into the gas at about 1900-2200 rpm. But if I give it a little...

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    What do you mean center punch? Is that when you use that pointy thing and hammer a dent into the screw? i have those ez-out remover things but i'm weary that it'll actually work..

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    No! And I'm pissed because now would be the perfect time to do it myself, but I don't have the money!

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    Yea, I don't know why I continuously call it the pinion shaft.. I didn't snap this bolt myself.. I backed the bolt out by hand very easily and didn't even apply much pressure. It just unscrewed that way..?

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    I'm afraid that if I use a bolt extractor, I'll screw up the threads and have to retap that ****. Which in itself could make things a hell of a lot more difficult. I think I'm going to use a stone grinder and eat away at the top of the pinion shaft until the bolt is exposed. I'll then slide...

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    Here are pics to show how much of the bolt came out. You can see a score line in one picture where the bolt remains inside. The other picture shows the actualy bolt and its lined up against where it broke inside the diff casing.

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    I'm replacing my driver's side axle and now I've come across a problem. I opened up the diff housing and all that and I got to the bolt that holds the pinion shaft from sliding out of the differential. I removed the bolt easily and then I notice only about 1/3 of the bolt came out. Half the of...

    Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back

    Here are some pics of the tips: Here are some sound clips I took also. The viedo camera kind of surpressed the sound level when it got louder, so it doesn't really sound true. It's much deeper and more rumbly down low and up high is screams. Stock headers, stock midpipe, AT...

    96 GT possible problem areas?

    First of all, check the brake system. Check the fluid level and rotors/pads. Is the pedal mushy and does it go to the floor? I know when the motor dies while driving, the brakes are near impossible to use (is that the same as not having the serp belt connected?). The compressor is a simple...

    H-pipe removal problems

    what's pb blaster? I'll be removing my stock h pipe in a week or two so I need a heads up on these kinds of things.. What size socket do I need for those nuts and how deep should it be to clear the stud? Stripping bolts in tough places is one of the most frustrating things in the world. I'd...

    Resetting the computer?

    Quick question: What's the proper way to reset the PCM? Disconnect the neg. battery cable and press the brake a few times? That's what I've been told by someone..

    Sequential turn signal lights?

    PO put them on my car. I like them, I think it looks badass. Though, most of my friends bust my balls pretty bad for it. I think they do it because in all reality, any aspect of their car doesn't even compare to mine, so it's an easy way for them to bite me. Only thing I don't like about...

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    I didn't.. And I've done about 3k mile since then. My oil looks new, doesn't smell weird, and everything seems just right..

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    Actually, a few pages prior I posted a question. I asked if anyone has ever heard of seafoam burning up the cats. After using it my car smelt (and still does) smell like an uncatted car. Is it possible? But I'm pretty sure the white smoke is carbon burning off. If you burn the seafoam alone...
