Both of my vehicles are becoming old enough to attract       the attention of car buffs. Both have drivetrains reputed to last 300,000       miles but New England road salt rust usually kills well before that.              PB Blaster unstuck the light alloy master cylinder from the steel vacuum       booster. The factory shop manual gives plans to machine a gauge to check or       set booster pushrod protrusion, if you have a machine shop handy. I do but       instead of milling the gauge I used a parallel. That isn't the only special       tool they expect you to make. I snagged the engine tool kit at an auction.              A neighbor is restoring a 71 Chevy from worse condition than my truck.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
