Rear hub/drum removal help
essexkun replied to killshot_kustom's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Patience, patience, patience!!! When trying to fix my right rear wheel bearing I managed to mess mine up so bad that we had to replace the entire knuckle, getting the castle nut off was only half the challenge, I also completely obliterated the roll pin, though a previous owner seems to have lodged it stuck in the first place Thank the stars we had an entire spare parts car! -
Drum brake adjusters stuck

Intermittently soaking them with pblast and having a lot of patience is what worked for me. Even then I still managed to break one of the studs off (while removing the cylinder for refurbishing), now both of my rear cylinders are held on by just one stud Replacing them would have to be my favorite option, then you could have some peace of mind to go with your salad. Here's an example from O'reilly's online store. Hope this helps, and good luck! -
When I took my climate controls apart to grease up the mechanisms, I noticed that the plastic vent tube that connected the two main vents to the rest of the system was disconnected and sagging a bit. It wouldn't rest in place correctly, it seemed there was some insulation that held it in place at one point and simply disintegrated over time, so I had to use zip ties. Works great now! Here's a picture (unrelated vehicle) of what I'm trying to explain, notice the foam rim around the opening, it's exactly what's come undone in your situation, I'm sure. Hope this helps!

Issue opening back doors from inside.

This is really, really silly but are you sure there aren't child locks that were engaged somehow? I only recently discovered my car even had that feature. -

EA81 Vacuum Line Diagram

I sure hope this helps! It was on the underside of the hood of my '82 GL. -
The tube to the right of the picture is input, comes from the firewall, the tube on the left is output straight to the carb, the tube coming out of the top splits off down below the separator. One of these tubes then leads back into the firewall under the spare tyre, and the other to the carb, from which I can only assume to the canister, but am not able to tell without taking off the air cleaner. It's getting dark so if you need I can find out for sure in the morning.

I just replaced my vapor separator and fuel filter yesterday, made quite the noticeable difference! Here's what you're after: Cheers~

She's about to roll 200k, and I paid way too much ($2,800) but dammit I love her. I've gained so much hands on experience, totally worth it IMO
