rear driveshaft ujoint or carrier bearing

I play it by ear. If I can't spin bolts in by hand, I generally run a tap in the hole and hit the bolt on a wire wheel. If it's greasy, I clean it. Engine internal parts shouldn't have any issue with either of those, but sometimes...

I wash down with petrol or whatever I have on hand. Then use metho to wipe all mating surfaces before applying silicone sealant (where needed) or fitting the rubber seals or the gasket needed. As for head bolt thread tap, I used GD’s suggestion of cutting a slice in a used headbolt (recommended to use new bolts if you don’t know their history or they’ve been used more than once - from what I’ve been told - and I’ve done this on my current HG job) and using the headbolt to clean up the threads. The rest of the engine cleaning, it comes down to how fastidious you want to be about it. Cheers Bennie

it has to do with you and your clothes and possibly your shoes, etc. not much different than scooting your sneakers across carpet and touching some metal in the house, except it's probably your sweater/shirt/coat rubbing across the seat cushion or similar friction.

Ok, I just picked up a 84 subaru brat from my moms good friend I am wondering do the rear facing seats take seat belts? If so where in God's earth can i pick some up at? Fyi this car was sitting for 5 years in a barn in Phoenix Az. I changed all the fluids new fuel tank and cleaned the carb Car purrs Like a kitten.

Hey, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I've been a bit swamped with finals month at school right now. The car is building static electricity with just idling in place, and not moving. Still normal?

Holes in the XT6 mounts will be too large for the 4cy XT arms. He needs parts from a 4cyl something. Wagon, Sedan, or 3 door, or another XT
