I should be able to swing by.

 

Damn... if I lived over on the mainland I would be there in a heartbeat.

 

ChriSS, Charles???? I know you guys like to eat...

 

I wouldn't mind coming to learn a thing or two. I have a set of tools that I'll lend out as well, just let me know in advance Shawn so I can dig them up.

Will there be any hard liquor for those that are capable of consuming REAL alcoholic beverages ???

If I'm in town, I'll see you all there.

 

sounds like fun, ill probably show up might give ya some help. i know my basic stuff so that should be good for something
might be able to bring a friend to who likes camaros and is thinking of possibly getting another one, so hopefully i can convince him to come and he'll get another camaro

 

I have an extensive liquor cabinett - as I'm not a big beer drinker myself - and I think you should have no problem finding a single malt amongst the 12 I have that you can enjoy. Perhaps a McCallams?

 

Shawn! Do you want air tools? I can bring over my compressor and air line. Unfortunatly all I have is a 1/2" drive gun. It'll do all the realy tough jobs like the torque arm!

Let me know. I wouldn't mind swinging by to check out the computer too.

Any other tools, let me know.

 

Owwww power tools.

Well they certainly might be fun to have around but I'll leave it up to you.

Truth be said there ARE some big ugly bolts that need to go in. Especially the front suspension, control arms and the Spohn TA.

I think we will be ok with socket sets. Bring your own wrench though as they may be in short supply.

OH I DO need one very rare socket.

I need a 9/16's 1/4 drive socket for the nuts that go on the U-bolts of the driveshaft.

Anyone have that?

Thanks everyone for thos response. I think we will have a great Saturday.

in the meatime I will have to work like a SOB to finish polishing the exhaust system. I'm to pick up the chrome goodies on Feb 5th :-)

Another question. Do I need to use a shorty oil filter with the FLP's or the regular style OK? Payam? Matt? Mike?

 

From personal experiance, I would use the 3/8" drive so you get more leverage. Just slap on a universal joint with a stubby extender and you won't have any problems clearing the wrench past the drive shaft and it'll be a lot easier to break those bolts loose.

The DS if already off and the ONLY tool that would fit was a 9/16 socket 1/4 inch drive. The is no 3/8 socket or extension that was able to get a bite on the nut. I have an extensive socket set but I had to borrow a snap on socket from a neighbour to get the U-bolts loose.

 

You do have a torque wrench correct shaun? The K member bolts are not that burly I personally don't use a ratchet for the yoke. I used a thin wall wrench.

Have fun with your install.

Steven

 

for my u joint nuts i just use regular open end wrenches

for ur FLPs u need a short oil filter .. u should know this since u've had FLPs for a while and hopefully u've changed ur filter since then

 

Well for $30 I just as soon take it to a garage for an oil change Life's to short.

Thanks payam. I'll get a shorty one.

And any of you guys are WELCOME to try your wrenches and sockets. Mine don't work that is for sure.

for me, to get a shop to do my camaros oil change, is like going to a doctor to get the diaper changed on my baby (if i ever have one)

my cutlass though... i refuse to touch anything on it it'll either fix it self, or die trying .. so far all the problems just fixed themselves

The cheapest I can change my oil is 42 bucks. This is for molbile 1 synthetic at wal mart. What oil are you having someone else put in for 30 bucks?
