fixing minor things

Post by XR75ER »

hey all< have done a few maintanace jobs on the b2. power steering hose.shocks. front brakes, front spindel driver sidel. :mad2: (make sure to torque those nuts .Last work done didn't and it ate the washer, bearing and spindel.)found bad boot on the rear CV drive shaft and found another b2 site that shows how to convert to u-joint shaft for under $100.00. :D looks preety nice seeing how the local jy didn't have a good one and the parts store wants $232.00.and the drive shaft company wants $325.00 to build one. fixed the passanger side elec window with out paying $10.00 for the plastic rollers. Trimed down wire nuts :idea: more snow, no garage, no work this weekend. be safe. untill nex time.

used the tech talk.for the drive shaft and I now have a u-joint style rear drive shaft :D . It took about 4 hours to do the whole job. price was 39.95 for the drive shaft parts. The whole thing was around $75.00 with the new joints . Now they are greaseable!!! :beer:
