thread link section I posted a very good ignition switch replacement link...btw if u can wait I got mine for a 97 4wd @ amazon-

 

We already have a very good ignition switch replacement thread.

 

True, one that this stupid project needs to have a link too

 

I kept forgetting about this, but since I did a tune-up yesterday it reminded me. For that pesky #3 plug, I actually take the steering shaft off of the steering box. Turn the steering wheel SLIGHTLY to the left to expose the shaft bolt in a good accessible angle. Take out pinch bolt (there's only one bolt on the end of the shaft where it meets the steering box, you'll know), and using a flatbar/prybar work it apart. It just slides off. Once it's off, you can lift it out of the way to easily get the plug.

Putting it back on is reverse. and a no-brainer... The shaft is keyed ...

Doing this, I get all 6 plugs done in 15 minutes.

 

Good list.

 

Mine isn't!

 

Sick, this is great for a nooby like me!

 

got this link with how to's for replacing the door hinge bushing. I think most people get stuck on the spring and are too afraid to try and they ask. This seems like a hot issue when I was looking for a how to on the forum earlier. think you can look at my link and add it to your list AB?

edit: oh snap! forgot to add the link

That link has been discussed before and it's a good walk through on the steps. I really do not like the way they pressed the bushings back into the hinges. Too much potential for damaging the bushings. I use two sockets and a bolt to press them back in. MUCH less chance of damaging things.

 

Hmm, can't remember how they suggested to press the bushings in off the top of my head but I was thinking of using a bolt, two washers, a nut and a little elbow grease. The main thing I saw that was helpful for me (though I haven't gotten around to that fix yet) was how to remove and replace the spring.
