Subject: Re: 1992 headlight motor rebuild & gear replacement. by Ajetsprt on 2013/2/13 6:22:28 Yes.... DO NOT follow the instructions with the bronze gear & bushing. Get some background before you start. There is a wealth of knowledge here and a YouTube video that walks you through it all. Had I done that first I would not have run into such a frustrating time. I truly expected to have to buy a rebuilt plus pay the core charge because of disassembling that motor itself. I stayed with it and you all helped me a ton. This job is extremely easy and almost anyone could successfully do it in about 45-60 min per side. Following the guidance located here and that YouTube video. BTW - I called Ecklers today about that leaf spring kit which had 14 pieces and no instructions or even a graphic showing what order pieces go in. They had no idea how to do it and I'm suppose to hear from a tech "soon" Thanks again. I rebuilt this car with my now 8 year old daughter and we've won several first and second place trophies with it but the time together has been priceless. While I had the car on the jack stands for the past few weeks I taked her through her first oil change. I've had a C5, sold it for a C6 that was too expensive when the economy slowed down. I sold it to take care of my family and as soon as I could I bought something that I'd own and not have to worry about the payment. Truth be told at this point I could have bought another C5 or C6 with what we've spenton this but every dime was worth the togetherness this C4 brought to my family. Thank to you all the help |
