#8 reminds me of the scene in "vacation" when Clark is dealing with the two mechanics after driving off the road. -
Brat Ignition Lock Cylinder Stuck
jonas replied to 6 Star's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think what looks like the pin being flush is just a bit if solder or something holding the pin in. Try digging at it with something pointy. Once that is removed it should fall right out with a bit of wiggling. That's the way it was on my '85 Brat but I think it was a little screw, not a pin. Again it's been a few years. -
Brat Ignition Lock Cylinder Stuck

Looking head on at you're ignition switch. Remove the cover from the barrel. The piece with on/off/acc. stamped on it. easy to do, it's crimped on. At the 5 o'clock position, on the underside of the barrel should be a retaining pin or tiny screw. The hole may be covered up with a bit of solder but is easy to remove with a bit of digging. Once that is removed (pin/screw) you should be able to insert your key and slide it out. There may be a square plastic piece on the bottom of the barrel that you will need to slide out. pull it towards you. may also have a half circle plastic retaining ring as well. I'm just going from memory as it's been a few years since I've done this. Once you get the thing open it really becomes self explanatory. Good Luck! -

'84 wagon will pull freakishly hard to left

Thanks, I've been suspicious of that axle for awhile. Plenty experience with bad axles but never had that happen. -
'84 wagon will pull freakishly hard to left
jonas replied to jonas's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I suspect my calipers not adjusting correctly and not leaving enough gap between the rotor and pads to keep cool. -
About 2k miles on new pads, ball joints, tie ends. No probs. till now Just had alignment done. Was driving on the freeway when it just started pulling HARD to the left. Managed to get pulled over safely. Waited a few minutes, started driving and it was fine. After about 5 minutes it did it again. Inspected front end today and nothing seems amiss. Brakes and rotors look good, nothing is loose, drained a little brake fluid and it's clean. Not sure what to make of this.

It's on their web site now, all locations. Grab some tools and a buddy! -
Yeah, that was my thinking. Except it had a bar mounted skid plate that partially mounts to the crossmember and I'm having a heck of a time getting the mounting bolts (on the bar) off. Think I'm gonna have to drill them out. thanks, you did answer my question.
-
Hi all! Going to repaint my front bumper and i need to temporarily remove my Bar. Here's the pic of how it's mounted. Now the question; can i remove those bolts (2 on each side) without the crossmember dropping off or do i need to brace it up? I've loosened it a bit and the crossmember seems to want to drop. http--,,--//

I watch a few car shows and the "weathered/rust" look is gaining traction here as well.
