Subject: Re: tune up/ up dates by 95Vert on 2011/7/29 13:33:24 I went through this a while ago while changing the waterpump. I decided to change plugs and wires while at it. Definitely do as Bill suggests and remove the pulley from the PS Pump. Get a quality puller or better, rent it from Advance, Autozone or whoever the parts store is in your area...I don't remember what's up there, having moved from Bloomfield Hills a long while back...  I think the Harbor Freight set is as good as any other. At least it seems the same as the Advance set they rent/sell.You will still have to run the wires behind/under that pump but it makes life so much easier. I also put a new tensioner in and suggest you get one of those belt tools at Sears which makes putting the new belt on so much easier. The plug that gave the most problems was the one on the passenger side, closest to the fire wall. It is tight, tight, tight. I had a hell of a time and used all the tricks suggested. Still needed one of our exchange students with tiny hands to get the plug on and the boot on. Try all the tricks you read about and see which one works best. Keep track of all the screws you take out when disassembling  WAIT, do all those issues with the plug go away when installing headers?? |
