Farmacist Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 \ how did you get the ac pump off? what did you do to the lines? A/C pump is easy, just unbolt the top two lines on the pump, then drain the coolant from the line. the line fell like a bitch at first to come off be thats becasue they're reverse threading the bad part about taking off the a/c is the amount of money ypu gotta spend for the coolant recharge.

Farmacist Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 So here's a little update, I was able to get the control arm and spindle off one one side. I would have done both sides, but I have a huge exam tomorrow and I have to study for that first. The lower control arms and spindles are being sand blasted and painted. The upper control arms, bushings, and Steering ball joint assembly is being upgraded and replaced. YES IT'S MESSY!! I definitely have to do a cleanup after this one, there's just so much grease and crap on the ball joints you can't help getting dirty Here's what it looked like just before I started on the control arms I know this isn't really anything related to the audio install, so just bear with me... I'm getting this out of the way so I don't have to worry about it after I install everything Team Soundstream Team Xs Power Team Secondskin Audio Team Mechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow240sx Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looks good. Only thing I see wrong from the pics is it looks like u painted the driveshaft yoke. Maybe its just painted tape on there. 99 GMC Suburban 2 Death Penalty 21" 2 Crescendo BC2000 Boston GT-42 Amp 6 Selenium 6w4p 4 Crescendo tweets Hi output cs144 alt Audiocontrol Epic-160 Pioneer DVD head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmacist Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Can't wait to see the engine bay finished. Definitely hard to make an efi and abs equipped vehicle have a nice engine bay. If it were me, although its kinda the easy way out, convert to carb and abs delete.. lol. Can't wait to see what ya do. keep up the good word. thanks man I appreciate it. My goal is to just make it look as clean as possible while not deleting any of the stock components like the A/C or things like that. I mean of course its cool being able to have an engine bay with a lot of room because the deletion of some of the components, but the main theme behind my truck is functionality.. being able to have all this stuff in it while still having the functionality of a daily driver... well a daily driver minus the cargo room lol Team Soundstream Team Xs Power Team Secondskin Audio Team Mechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 What he is saying is in two of the pics on the first page it looks like you painted the yoke of the driveshaft with por 15 and it shouldn't be painted. Looks good. Only thing I see wrong from the pics is it looks like u painted the driveshaft yoke. Maybe its just painted tape on there. ?? Umm nope, haven't painted anything yet, I do have tape on a couple things for labeling but that's about it.

EclipseChris Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Truck looks great man! Keep up the good work! On a side note, the correct way to pull an AC pump is to drain the stuff inside, wether it be r12 or r134a or whatever, with a machine. Just pulling it and letting it out into the atmosphere could actually get you fined pretty heavily. Just an FYI. i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P.
