oooooo man that TR is gettin me mighty angry !lol, i got the top front nut off but its that rear one thats givin me trouble... i dont wanna have to take off the dang intake.

 

TR?

 

Thermal Reactor, the rear's a bitch. I don't think I had the right universal joints to get it off....finally ended up going to to Speedy to get it off. I think I might have the right bits to do it now. You could always bash the weld of the TR that's in the way, it's not like you need to keep it in perfect shape...hmm why didn't I think of that at the time, damn.

 

i was about to hammer the fu** out of it but moms asleep... the nuts are realy not very tight, and they dont look rusted at all... im gonna try getting it off again tomorow, gonna pick up one of them magic sockets as they call em (9/16) ujointed... but hey nanaimo you said you might have the right bits?

 

hey nanaimo, i sent ya a PM

 

If it's 9/16 I'll go look right now...I have a bunch of ujoints. Inheriting a full chest of Snap-On tools has been really sweet.

 

yea i got a **** load of tools, but they havent been used in like proly 7 years, since i only now started getting into mechanics, and my dads been to lazy to sort them , i found 1 9/16 , but the ujoint i have is way to big to fit into that tiny little spot... (ujoint combined with 9/16 = just to big , but 9/16 might be a bit to big im not sure.

 

I have a 9/16 u-joint as well as separate u-joints. I think I figured that it would take a u-joint socket to a small extension to a regular u-joint to a large bar. I don't remember what they used when i took it to the shop....air tools mmm. I wish I still had them. If you do get it off, don't drop it on your feet, it's fricken heavy.

 

im thinking the 9/16 ujoin (all in one) would prolbly work, i have a serperate ujoint but its too big when oyu attach the 9/16 to it ..., you busy tomorow, i wanna see your car too lol.

 

Don't work until 5, same for thursday, might be going to see Lord of the Rings at 1 tommorow, not sure. Are PM's not working? I didn't get yours, you get mine?

 

I'm the one who posted the "magic socket" thread. You need a SHORT socket with a built-in u-joint, the extension u-joint is just too long. The one I have had been ground down to be shorter as well as having a smaller O.D. You might want to use a six-point socket rather than a twelve-point. Good luck! -Mike

 

whent to sears today, got a 9/16th and wammo, got it off , thank god, lol im still gettin the last one off then im hopefuly done with that horrible little spawn of satan...

 

didnt get your PM
