Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Replaced a rear wheel bearing. Oh isn't that fun.
The hub was practically fused to the knuckle.
8 lb sledge hammer + chisels + a hammer are what finally allowed me to get it off.

Not to mention my parking brake came completely apart, so I had to figure out how to put all that back together.

Rear view cam, iPhone app compatibility, music videos, hd radio, bluetooth, fully customizable color schemes/backgrounds... I think im in love

Heat is your best friend in that case. I did one on a 95 GP and the bolts would not come off until I used heat.

Yeah I got to it, thanks. It had literally just gone into the car.

Both cars came due for an oil change (actually, the Prius was 600 miles over and the GTP 200 miles under) so I thought what the heck, get em both done. $60, two Wix filters, 10 quarts of oil, quite a bit of cursing trying to pull the oil filter off the GTP, and that's done... I won't have to fight with either of those anytime soon.

picked up a new rubber hanger for my exhaust, then installed it and re adjusted the the after market hanger bar i have on the intermediate pipe. then found the muffler loose, after looking closer, the clamp is tight, the intermediate pipe end inside the muffler is wearing off. so i hose clamped it on the seam, and its now back to tight.

after all the time ive bought welding holes and replacing the res and muffler, the intermediate pipe is just begging to be changed now.

time for a dual exhaust maybe........

Want to do mine? lol

I had a code that kept coming and leaving on its own, one day my cel would be on, and the other off. When checking it was always the downstream sensors heater circuit. Just yesterday I decided to check it again, and now there are two codes. Both for the same sensor. O2 sensors have two circuits, and both have failed in the same sensor lol. P0140 and P0141

Put 16.2 gallons of gas in her

I couldn't figure out why my cruise wasn't activating for about 30 seconds. Then I realized the radio station was changing and realized what was wrong.

I really need to get more sleep at night.

Haven't driven my car in 4 days now. Between being sick and having no where to go it just gets to sit there.

Put on summer wheels and tires. I know but I had other things to do.

nice sock mod....

Replaced my noisy drivers side rear door hinge, touched up a few areas with touch-up paint, found oil around and below the oil pressure sending unit area dripping on the CV axle, and on the ground. Cleaned it all up and ran it while under and didn't see any come out from anywhere... Tried figuring out which brand the stock o2 sensors are, delphi, ac delco, or denso? Not sure, too much rust.

That looks like a hat to me.

LS2 top end round 2......barley leaked at first but somehow no more leak....will continue to keep an eye out also wrapped crossover...what a huge difference. I should've did that earlier

Tried to replace the axle seal for the right CV. Got down to the CV...and the d* thing won't budge. Axle removal tool will be in tomorrow morning. I sure hope there's nothing else wrong after that failure on Sunday afternoon...Good news is that the tranny filter change went off without a single hitch.
