EGR Solenoid valve broken....
Will Smith replied to edmartz's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have had a thought about these things. These things are just a solenoid valve simple two wire hook up right? Why wouldn't another valve from another make of car not work. It would be important to know if the valve was normally open or normaly closed; and the coil resistance would be important so as not to set the computer off. Does this sound right? or have I missed something? -
Laquer Paint safe over factory paint?
Will Smith replied to FlyB0y's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
If it truly is factory, spray away. That's all I used to use. Great paint. -
I looked into those same tires.... They came with no warranty as they are off road tires. check to be sure that is still the case.

could you cut one of the CV boots and then pull the retaining clip inside of the CV joint, then slide the end of the axle out?

How to get above surface paint off?
Will Smith replied to xtlover's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
those marking paints are usually lacquer based. Lacquer thinner may work, BUT it may also take off the underlying paint. Original factory paint is usually immune to lacquer thinner though. Might try it on an area that does not show first. -

I would be surprised if you can get through. Mormon Emigrant Trail is not plowed. There has been lots of snow. I live at about the same elevation as Jenkinson's lake and up until yesterday I had to chain up just to get out of the driveway. -
EA81 Exhaust stud questions

you may be able to hold your patch in place with a hose clamp or two. -
bondo rubberized under coating - wheel wells
Will Smith replied to moshem74's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I use it all the time as a rust preventative to cover welding I have done. I do not think it offers much in the way of sound control. the thickness is not very much. -
stupid axle nuts...
Will Smith replied to hooziewhatsit's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
there is a tapered washer behind the axle nut. the washer should be wider to the outside of the vehicle, narrower to the center. -
automatic seatbelts...
Will Smith replied to 92loyalloyale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the motor is in the center post (by the front seat hinge) down near the floor. remove the lower trim and you will see the motor. simply disconnect the plug. -
Hey Redskin sounds like a fun ride. Don't know bout the body flex cure, but will trade you a brat sticker for a brumby sticker. I assume you are speaking of the aprx. 4 inch square one on the tailgate. This is the one I would trade: http://willsmith.dtdns.net/Pictures/Current%20Project/photos/photo_3.html

Trans / (differential?) Bearing help needed
Will Smith replied to pmichaud's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I tightened it up until it was left with just a little movement, as the bearing warmed up the slack went away. these are tapered bearings, some of you may only need to tighten the retainer and not replace the bearing. Does anyone know how much to re-tighten the retainer? Is there a preload spec etc.? It has to matter, to prevent premature bearing/gear wear. Thankyou, Keith -

what year engine (parts compatibility problem)
Will Smith replied to AKIRA's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
nice looking Brat. take your old rotor into the parts store and have them match it up. the parts folks should be able to find the cap and exhaust gaskets from the application crossover.
