Cascade Crew

90droptoproc

see I told you guys I shouldn't have bought a firebird.

picture this:

cruising into the middle of the biggest car show this side of Canadia, cars all waxed, looking hot, top down everything is going great...
untill I go to downshift and I get this horrendous screach outta the thing in the middle of hundreds of people.

stupid throw out bearing, atleast I was close to my show stall, didn't have to hear it again till I left

anyhow, the reason I put this in here is because I was looking for ideas on what else I should pick up at the same time like a pivot ball and stuff, to save myself from having to pull this stupid T-5 out anymore times then is absolutely necesary

stupid throw out bearing!!

Do you have the WC T-5 in there at the moment? If you don't, I know someone who has one Yup yup

ya its a 91 so there is a WC already in it
guess I'll just replace the bearing and pivot ball, and grease up the fork well, wish me luck that I didn't screw anything else up too Rolling Eyes

wow, I got to that faster then normal, 6 hours total to swap everything out and back in, took too long but the bearing came out in three pieces (not counting all the little ball bearings) so that part took abit of time

took it for a test spin and all seems good, missed a ball bearing though, made a nice grrrping on the way out though Very Happy

no noises after that

anyways, just wanted to pat myself on the back for being less of a lazy ass than normal

thank god for Sarah, she is the only help around at the last minute when I decide to do something
I love my "dirty" wife Very Happy
