Alright everything is setup on my car (quadrant, adjuster, new cable). I sanded down the part that goes into the adjuster a few times now. I left a small gap between the black housing and the adjuster. The adjuster is screwed all the way in (no threads showing). When I hook it up underneath the car the gap between the housing and adjuster forces it's self together, and the adjuster is impossible to turn.
So I unhooked everything. I had antiseize on the threads of the adjuster but I put some white lithium greese on it just incase. Then I thought maybee the rubber was binding up and causing the adjuster to turn with the housing so I put a little greese on the rubber and underneath it on the cable so it can turn. Then I installed it the same way however I stuck some screw drivers where the gap should be to force it there. Hooked it back up. And I did have my gap, but when i took the screw drivers out they went right back together. And the adjuster is still impossible to turn. (And when it does turn the black housing part is moving with it).
Ok first let me ask. When the firewall adjuster is adjusted all the way in. That means it's fully tight? And when it's adjusted outward (threads showing) it's giving it more slack? Or vice versa. And am I installing this the wrong way or something? I can't get the gap MM is talking about or even adjust this POS. Help please my cars been down for 3 weeks now!!!
