Re: Why don't you have a multimeter in your tool box?

The first two things I bought when I started to work on my car was a manual and a multimeter. They have both been invaluable to me. :)

Re: Rear main seal R/I

I officially completed my rear main seal project yesterday... and like magic, my civic started right up and drove like a dream. Yay! :)

Re: Rear main seal R/I

LOL, Elle. It's the handiest tool I have in my kit!

Re: Rear main seal R/I

Re: Rear main seal R/I

I'm not sure I could have gotten the rear support bolts off without removing the pipe. Plus, since I am a beginner and don't really know what I'm doing, I've been trying to strictly follow the...

Re: Rear main seal R/I

I'm halfway through my replacing rear main seal project. :)

Pity, I have a manual tranny, and but for that one stupid frozen bolt on my exhaust pipe, the process has been going very smoothly.

Re: Removing stripped frozen bolt on exhaust pipe. Please help!

It's off!! Yay!! We used the dremel and cut through the bolt, then used an air chisel to break it loose. Geez... we have spent more time with this one bolt than we have doing everything else so far...

Re: Removing stripped frozen bolt on exhaust pipe. Please help!

Thanks for the quick replies!! It is the last of the 3 bolts that attaches the pipe to the cat.

OK... will try the cold chisel now, as I don't want to have to remove the manifold.

Thanks!!

Re: Please Help With Intermittent Buzz

Jaybee, there are probably 100 different things that can cause weird noises and I only suggest the fuel pump as a possibility because of the use of the word "buzz". When my fuel pump went, it was a...
