I then tried to torque the ball joint retainer rings. I used a floor jack to keep the socket from slipping, but still could not get the big torque required (25 map or 180 ft-lbs). Any suggestions?


That's the same method I used.
Struggled with it, but got it to work and tighten up the ball joints some how.

More prep on the wipers. I found one broken wire.

Soldered, and I treated the fabric insulation and seals where the wires enter the motor housing with 3M liquid rubber.

Getting started on the headlights. These are in the same state when I took the car apart. Into the acetone bucket!

The motors need cleaning up, too, with PO undercoating and messed up wiring.

And getting started on the fresh air stuff--also with undercoating and overspray.

have you got a screen for fan/vent box?
good idea (later cars) - helps keep leaf muck out.

Looking great as usual. I'm working on the same stuff here. Did the headlight buckets today and plan on tackling the motors this week. Any advice or wires I shouldn't cross (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)?

@djway is right about the airbox install. I learned a few tricks which will hopefully save you a few pennies in the swear jar...

Thanks, Ian. I like your method--will give that a try.

And then the tedious, PIA removal of undercoating.

I know I have ranted about this before, but WTF was the PO thinking? I am not a fan of legal restriction, but I would like to outlaw cheap undercoat spray. OK, rant over.

So far, GoofOff seems like the best solvent. It does eventually remove the undercoating (with lots of rubbing) and (almost) does not react with the plastic.

I needed a break, and also to take care of things that will be blocked by the air box. That includes the grommet for the 3 heater cables. This was also a bit of a pain.

Enough annoying work for today. Instead I got together all the parts for the heat blower.

Much more fun to put clean and shiny parts together.
