Subaru Legacy lower Ball joint Removal and Install

recently i had to perform a brake job on my 1999 subaru legacy station wagon. i noticed a popping noise in the front driver side when turning left. so i started checking n i found the lower ball joint was pretty much destroyed. the local part store had one for 23.99. reading online i found the easiest way to remove and install the lower ball joint, get a mini 5 pound sledge hammer, a 14mm to 19mm sockets and wrenches, one you have removed the steering knuckle/hub smack the lower control arm. until the ball joint drops out of the knuckle assembly. it took me about 45 mins to remove n 30 to reinstall.

1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Upper Intake Removal

this is a simple job on the fox body mustangs with fuel injection. shouldnt take longer then 45mins to have the upper intake off, i know there are people that could perform this quicker but this was my 1st time removing an upper intake on a mustang.

tools needed
13mm socket and wrench 1/4 or 3/8th drive with 6 in extentions
13mm deep socket 1/4 or 3/8th drive
10mm socket 1/4 or 3/8th drive
flat head screw driver
torx bit driver set

total amount of bolts n nuts
4 intake bolts
2 nuts that hold the bracket at either end for the intake
2 10mm bolts for the throttle bracket


i origanally started this becuse i wanted to replace some vacuum lines and replace the valve cover gaskets because of age and leakage. i noticed that when i tipped the upper intake down crud came out of it so i am going to flush the upper intake the best i can. ill post a video of the process about replacing the valve cover gaskets also.

1995-1999 Dodge Neon Cold Air Intake

hi


this is a homemade Cold Air Intake the parts i used were from a local wreaking yard which only cost me about 7 for the intake tube's, 19.99 for the Air Filter, 2 for the hose to relocate the breather for the engine to its new location. here is the parts list i used


Chrysler New Yorker 3.0ltr J Pipe (which does connect to the throttle body nicely)
1995 Neon intake tube which i cut the end off with the breather attachment.
Auto Store cone Air Filter


Total time to complete was less then 40 mins i did have to modify the battery box slightly for clearance which wasnt much. basically for 30.00 or so you can make your own intake.
