    Opening the rear hatch from inside.

    well the stock latch rotates to disengage so you might look into taking the rear hatch apart and installing a pully near the bottom edge and run a wire under it to the part of the rotating mechanism the moves down. the wire can then leave the door 5 or six inches up from the bottom and have a...

    M50D Install w/o removing exhaust

    Update: after looking closely there is no way to remove the y pipe without needing to remove the manifolds to get them back in. (every thing is way to rusted) what did work was resting the front end of the tranny on the frame just before the y pipe then tilting the rear way down. (think 70+...

    A different kind of Power Window problem

    are all (two or four) power windows affected or is it just one? also do the power lock switches (if equipped) work when the windows fail?

    manual transmission shifter

    Another removal method: If your bolt dosen't have a nut on the one side you can pull the rectangular boot back and get at three bolts holding the shifter to the tranny. Then the shifter just pulls out. Two of the three were philips head and one had a 10mm, i cant believe this is original, your...
