Re: Lower timing cover tensioning nut - rubber washer - stupid question

I placed an extra washer under the adjusting nut and that helped create enough clearance between the nut and timing cover to slip the rubber washer over the nut.

Re: How to evacuate and recharge your R134a a/c system.

Thanks for the write-up.

I need to do something about my AC (6th gen Accord). It cycles on and off, and even when on, it's not very cold. Sometimes makes a hissing noise (heard inside the car)...

Scissor jack and jack stands

I have a floor jack, but need to jack up the car in a place where I won't have my floor jack. I don't trust the scissor jack enough to get underneath the car, so I want to use my jack stands.

Re: Wiring a socket and usb charger

Where did you mount the charger? Did you hard mount, or just use the velcro? I found the adhesive they used with the velcro to be very cheap and it came right off.

I'll check the wire gauge later,...

Re: Wiring a socket and usb charger

OK, I had to postpone this little project, but I'm coming back around to it.

1. Since the charger is rated for 20A, perhaps I should connect it to circuit other than the 12V cigarette lighter plug...

Re: Wiper blade housing - does this ever need replacing?

I got a good deal on some Bosch Icons, so I'll give those a shot and then just get inserts as needed going forward.

Re: Wiper blade housing - does this ever need replacing?

Yes.

First time car owner. Talked to a guy at Autozone, he was saying that generic inserts aren't a great idea because if anything goes wrong with those, a moving blade housing will scratch the...

Re: WHICH MODEL ACCORD IS BEST BANG FOR BUCK FROM 96-2000?

You should be able to find a 6th gen ('98-'02) Accord manual in your price range pretty easily. I bought an '01 EX coupe MT in your price range. Seems like there aren't a lot of manual coupes on the...

Wiper blade housing - does this ever need replacing?

Does wiper blade housing wear down such that it needs to be replaced? Or can I pretty much go the life of the car with the original housing and just change the rubber blade itself?

Re: Wiring a socket and usb charger

I looked up the Magnadyne instructions. They say to connect it to a fused 20A source, so yeah, what you're saying as well.

Does that mean I'll need to connect it to the circuit board rather than...

Re: How much did I save by performing some basic maintenance?

Thanks. Let's say $35 for the oil since I used Castrol GTX and Purolator filter, $25 for the tranny oil, and $80 for the plugs. That's $140, which pretty much pays for the floor jack and jack stands....

How much did I save by performing some basic maintenance?

I recently changed spark plugs, oil and manual trans fluid. What does the labor charge run on these tasks?

I'm trying to justify the investment I made in tools! :o

Re: Heating and bending a bent splash shield

Re: Heating and bending a bent splash shield

Thanks! This will be my project after turkey.

Not sure I follow where to apply heat. If I flip the shield so the bent area is facing up, should I heat it from the side that normally faces the road...
