But don't tell anyone, it's a secret.

I am probally gonna hit up sears for that one, but as i remember it (been a long time since i needed to take my rear tire off) it was a 1 inch drive so i had to borrow a 1 inch drive ratchet from one of my friends....maybe there is an adapter, i am assuming you are using it with a 3/4 impact. let me know

No worries. On a good note, I also picked up a vacuum bleeding kit. If you want to find out if your car has ANY vacuum leak, I can bring over the pump (with gauge!
) and we can leak test without having to crank up the motor.

I'm aiming for the clutch job next weekend since I have EVERYTHING finally...well, nothing to keep the flywheel still except some angle iron, but I'm thinking of just ordering the flywheel stopper just so I'll have it. I spent a good bit of change at Sears today.

im back, lightning struck my modem last friday during the storm.I just got a new internal modem and back online.My brother is selling his car,minus the racing beat exhaust (thats going back on my car).Anyone going to the big show this weekend at the dragstrip?Talk about breast fest!!!!Ill be there sat. The vert is not yet on the road,i have been spending all off days in the pool and partying,i have the exhaust left to put on and bolt the front bumper on.The 93 has a bad vaccum leak or a solenoid cracked,the 2nd turbo wont kick in and it has a lag when first turbo kicks in.I didnt notice it till the other day coming home from court for a speeding ticket and a talon turbo was messing with me and we took it to 130 on the interstate,he didnt have a chance,but i would have loved to show him how i woulda really wooped him if 2nd turbo woulda kicked in.Hey joe i have that socket and impact.

found rust on my car, the paint job happens this summer, along with the dent pulling. After that I spend the rest of the summer trying to recover from 1150 dollars worth of body work to my car.

David, did you have to use any kind of flywheel stopper when removing/replacing the flywheel with the impact?
I have an old IR impact, but it's ANCIENT...I can't say I really trust it that much!

good point joe. It's just I was hoping to delay this for a while, but from the looks of the rust, I can catch it early now and it will be cool. Besides now I get to see what the car looked like when it was new....well on the outside anyway.

Hey joe, with the impact, just put it on there and let it eat.Its gonna take awhile i have a 1/2 craftsman,i usually just bump it up to 130 p.s.i. and make sure you have plenty oil in the impact.Its gonna take awhile to spin off,but shouldnt be no problem.The hardest one i had was my vert from the first motor i put loctite on it and it was a bitch to get off.

By the way, you aren't related to that famous McAffee road racer guy are you? Joel wanted me to ask.
