Cold chisel was the key! Was able to beat them out. One side I had to completely the other I beat out enough to wrench it to the end where it got stuck and one pop from the cold chisel took it right out, thanks guys


!!! Now I can't get the bolts back in !

Alrighty ill try these things as soon as I can, I have to move tomorrow

Thanks I think ill try some pb on it, or will brake cleaner work too? I'm still fighting this darn thing, I don't care abou the cylinder I'm replacing it anyway, it leaked out all my fluid so I'm doing both rear cylinders, ill eventually install dual master as well. Got all new brake lines so I ...

I have never removed the brake cylinder on my car and I took the brake line off but now I can't seem to get the two bolts holding the cylinder in out. They are in a really right spot, I tried my line wrench to and now the only one I can even get part of a wrench on is stripping out so before I cause ...

I think for right now im going to just put in new cylinders and order a duel master cylinder. I'm about to move and I don't have the time for disc brake install but it is definitely something I will do in the future. After swaying when hard braking.. holy crap that thing will scare you even at low ...

Thanks Bbodie, if you havent read on my ignition problem post... (like an idiot my dist cap wasnt tight enough, now car runs great), just as I post about disc brakes, I get my car running and then my rear right brake cylinder goes out, while sitting in my driveway! There was a big puddle, brakes ...

I was curious to know how hard it is to convert to disk brakes (65 corsa), or if it is even worth it? After being so "pampered" with disk brakes, I think I've grown quite fond of them from my other vehicles and sometimes I scare the crap out of myself driving even with good drum brakes. I would feel ...

I'm also 19 and I love my vair

Yea underneath my backseat was probably where most of the rust was, I actually just removed my back seat all togeather, ordered some new bucket racing seats and now she is a two seater, keep all my tools behind me now

I used high temp paint but at some point I want to powder coat

Your rockers look like the whole underside and floor of my car so don't be too disapointed haha

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I put a new ignition in my car.. and now it doesnt want to start up, but I did get in contact with the AR DMV. You can switch the registration on your vehicle if you active duty and can show proof you are paying taxes and blah blah blah. You just have to mail them ...

First car I ever purchased and only car I own

Found the problem! So simple this is embarrassing to say! My friend had been telling me to make sure that the side of the distributor in which the wires from the ignition come out isn't to tight, so I didn't tighten the screw all the way... Turns out that was the problem this whole time!!!! So ...

Long story short, the power wire wasnt getting power while turning over at the fuse box. The test light showed it was getting power when te key was on but it want when I actually started to crank it. Now the problem I believe I'm having is the fuel. I'm getting fuel but I think after sitting for two ...

Yea that's what I mean, I didn't think it was close enough, do you think that could be the cause of it not getting spark?
