  • Richpin, thanks for another very informative video. I had to swap this part out on an 02 SL1 recently. The back bolt was rusted in and not much fun to remove. I replaced it with a new one of course. I also, messed up the threads on the sway bar and had to use a die to clean them up. I ended up using a big c clamp to pinch the sway bar and remove tension to put the new part in. I was also wondering if you had a video on how to fix weak air flow from the heater blower motor/ducts.

  • @okinawa1990to2001 The only one i have that might be of help is "Checking For Debris at Air Conditioner Evaporator Core"

  • Rich, can you use an oxy/acetylene torch to loosen that nut/bolt?

  • @RandallFlaggNY You mean that nasty bolt that likes to rust into the control arm and subframe.

  • @richpin06a Yup.

  • @RandallFlaggNY That would be how i would tackle it if my air chisel would not drive it out.I would use heat and penetrating oil.

  • @richpin06a Thanks again. I've noticed that the position selector for the heating/cooling vents sticks a bit as well. I wonder when I changed the blower motor if that I put something in the dash back together incorrectly. I basically had to pull the whole dash apart to fix it. I might wait until warmer weather to try and tear it apart again. Let me know if you think of anything else. Awesome informational videos from you by the way!! The Chilton manual I have doesn't do justice.

  • You refitted an old part. Stabliser bush is loose. ie worn

  • @richpin06a Thanks.

  • @richpin06a No not that either. I think it's called the rear sub frame?
