General 8G Question Thread

[spdracr]

Anybody know the size of the bolts that go through the knuckle and hubs, or where to get them? I'm not even able to use my old ones cause of the rusted axles.

Its a 12x45 part number MU140016 $3.16 from oemmitsubishiparts.com

I dont think so

idk if this is the rite place to ask but i have a 2000 g a/t and i did a tranny swap with a 03 a/t trans but im still getting codes and it shifts rough from 1st to 2nd and speedo isnt working i put a 2000 speed sensor on it. i was wondering if you guys can help me figure out prob

[foxbrand]

for those of us that have done engine swaps, anyone know the rear lifting point for the 6g7 engines? the front point is obvious, but I can't figure out which one of the brackets on the rear head for this is

also I have seen occasion pictures of this, is it possible to use a few super strong straps under the engine attached to the engine hoist to lift the engine?

[Silvertune]

The lifting bracket in back is in the opposite corner of the front. Some engines got a tab on the steel bracket behind the upper PS bracket.

Straps are a bad idea with the engine because the sharp ends all over it cut into them. However I have lifted all my engines with two-loop chain harness.

[foxbrand]

noted, although the heads are off the block right now (stripped down to the short block) and I know ahead of time the block is done (cracked), so any thoughts of hoisting the short block without putting the heads back on?

Cruz control went out today. What to do? Or what to check for?

[gallant]

It came back. Thanks for the help -____-'

anybody know if the 04 4g64 valves are the same size on both sides?

[Silvertune]

The exhaust valves are never the same as intake.

[foxbrand]

Any recommendations on how to remove the sway bar link nuts? Mine keep spinning with the bolts

[Galantman03]

Just pop of the link itself, then cut them out

[wetamup2k3g]

I've never changed end links, but aren't they like ball joints, where theres a cutout for an Allen key to go into the bolt to hold it still while you use a wrench to take the nut off? It's slower than cutting it out, but if you don't have power tools, it may be your only option.

[oakrdrs187]

Should have an allen socket in it however I have seen some without them (aftermarket reman). Good thing we had an impact to bust the off real quick.

[foxbrand]

wow, I just rounded the allen socket, my highschool auto shop teacher is reccomending nearly cutting the nut in half with a dremel, insert a flat head screw driver into the slot to hold it in place and take it off with a wrench
I'm not sure if I should do this

[M-Rod]

My allen ends on my end links rounded out when did mine a few years back also. At that point I only had a dremel but was able to use the cutting wheel to cut through the nut at the ends of the links.

[Silvertune]

Attempting to actually unbolt the endlinks isn't even a consideration anymore. If they're stock, they need cutting off.
