Good OH Don't you have bearing factors (shops) in the industrial estates in the USA like we do in the UK ;)
Bits of gasket junk are all over the engine case... what to do...
The closest bearing shop to me wants $80+ for it...
I suspect it's the TN9/MT33 that doubled or tripled the price. Given what Tris mentioned the suffix is a waste of money.
A single edged razor blade will get that little stuff. Permatex makes an aerosol gasket remover if it is *really* stuck down.. but it is also an extremely effective paint remover. :o Careful where you spray it..A piece of 1/8" pipe about 8 inches long makes a perfect extension handle for an allen wrench. I've used Tom's wrench method myself in a pinch. ;D
This thread is great, but I sure hope I don't have to do my 01 EV. So far, all I've done is the air and fuel filter. This is a trivial question, but I noticed the fuel filter looks smaller in diameter than the bracket, same as mine. Can it be left loose or does it need to be secured? What's a good way to do that? Anyone?
FWIW, it was mentioned on the LeMans board years ago the champagne paint was an exact match to a Nissan color on '02 or '03.
Gotta love a man who buys Loctite by the gallon ;-T :D Keep on it Joe .Dusty
Gotta Guzzi, ya know.. ;D :BEER:
those stubborn rotor bolts have a shallow button head.. My friend Marty showed me a trick, he lay the wheel with rotor on a hot plate, the button heads were the only thing contacting the heating plate so they warmed up real nice and screwed right out. the factory does know how to slather on the lock tight.
That gasket for the cam position sensor is actually a shim and is used to correct for the tolerances of machining. IMHO, the spacer thickness is determined mostly from crankcase machining. IOW, use that one over.The o-ring on the sensor is supposed to do the sealing and does it.....not very well. I painted the bore not very far with silicone and slathered some more around the o-ring and 'gasket'.There have been some sensors that are leaky allowing oil to migrate through. There's a Loctite product that cures that.
