sounds like the timing is off 180 degrees. Turn the distributor around and try again. Make sure the hole in the distributor and cam sensor are lined up and the engine #1 is at TDC when you re-install it.

My suggestion is to get out the saws all and the grinder. Cut the head off and clean up the remains with the grinder so that the remains of the bolt will pull out with the hub.

Then soak the seam between the hub and the knuckle with penetrate.

With any luck you should now be able to get the hub off.

you are using the wrong type of extractors if you need to drill anything. You need BOLT extractors - like these:


I recommend the Irwin ones

hello am new here from Doha Qatar...yesterday while driving in a bumpy road, my blower fan (A/C) suddenly stop working. after careful check, the fan is working still but very slow. I already changed the resistor and I connected the blower fan directly to the battery and found out fan is ok.

Any idea what seems to be the problem? any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Would 30x9.5's fit on a 15x8 rim? That's what I've got now.. Looking to go larger/wider in the future.. Trying to pickup some cheap Black Rock steelies. I know i can fit wider on a 7". But, I'd prefer the wider rim..

..any opinions?

get the 15x8. A 9.5 wide tire will be fine on it. You'll be happier when you step up to a wider tire.
