I started with the rear on Friday. The drivers pivot pin was a pain, but finally came out once I got angry enough. The passengers side wan't as fun. I started with the classic hammer. IT FAILED I got a bigger hammer, 5lb sledge IT FAILED I got a bigger hammer, 20lb sledge It FAILED I cut the pin off the control arm and maxed out a 20 ton press and heated IT FAILED Time to think. . . ouch . . .

I found a new way to remove the rear control arm bushings. Like other ways: Torch the bushings to remove the inner sleeve. Then use a 1" drill to remove the rubber. Instead of using a hack saw to cut the pressed in sleeve, try this. Use a dremal with a cutt-off disk on it. I actually stack 3-4 cut-off disks.

If you go slowly enough and don't stay in one area for too long you wont have a problem. When it starts to get thin slow down and watch the sleeve where you are grinding. You are looking for it to…

Hey everyone. I need to replace my clutch on a 1980 280zx. I have never done it before, but I have been thinking of doing it. All I have to guide me is my handy haynes book. I dont have any Idea on what it is going to consist of and how long it will take. I priced a clutch kit and its was 136.00. One a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it, 10 being the hardest. If you have any advice or hints about doing it let me know before I get started. Thanks, Steve

I have a low pulse in the #6 injector, I bought a new injector for it but still the same low ticking sound coming from it. Could this be the dropping resistor or the ECU? Thanks Also the #5 has a low tick too. From what I understand is that both #5 and #6 run off of the same resistor, is this true and how can I test the resistors?
