      Power Steering reservoir replacement

      By IronSled21 · Posted

      I’m changing my reservoir on my 04 grand am. The o ring that is between the reservoir and the pump itself. Was bad. I cannot for the life of me figure out the size of the o ring. I’ve tried about 8 different ones and every one leaks . Any help would be much appreciated

      convertible carpeting

      By rich_e777 · Posted

      New carpet next to the old one for comparison. This is just a test piece as the cut pile option no longer has graphite available to match the old carpet. The original carpet had alot more padding under it too, the Vert seemed to have twice as much. Its just a basic carpet pad easily found anywhere they sell carpet.  This task is going to be alot like laying carpet on a spindle staircase with a shift lever and at least 20+ bolt and clip holes/slits that will need to line up perfectly or you`ll have lumps and wrinkles.

      Need to know some info about replacing the strut cartridge?

      By 89-W-Body-Regal · Posted

      I will remember not to use the impact on the new ones and use the socket. I will have to torque to specs anyhow the nut on top. I try to use the Torx and socket on the old struts but it was so dirty I wouldn’t come loose and stripped the thread. So I used an impact to remove the nut.

      Brake Line Size

      By Mike1998Lumina · Posted

      Hi, replacing my sons 1998 Lumina with a little over 250,000 miles on it rear brake lines found some 25' 3/16 kits with fittings online I have a line bender and cutter and a flare kit ,, replacing rear lines this weekend hoping its 3/16 as posted. I'd get rid of it but that 3.1 just runs like a top and the trans is still smooth. I've rebuilt all four corners and a handful of other items over the years but its a former grandparent car so it was well maintained and we have done the same.  This series of 3.1 3.8 V6 chevy cars was almost bullet proof I still see a ton of Luminas, Monte Carlos, Corsica's on the road and setting on driveways.

      The #50 torx tip is  needed to stop  the piston shaft from  rotating in the shock housing while undoing &  tightening up the the retaining nut. As I stated earlier some aftermarket shocks no  longer make use of a torx design for the socket interface at the top end of the piston shaft. Spinning the piston shaft with an impact gun is not desirable. Doing so with the outgoing shock is alright but no so with the new shock.
