    can't remove rear brake rotors - disc

    your e-brake shoes may be the culprit...try backing them off using the adjuster...if they're rubbing or if they've worn a groove the rotors won't come off no matter how much pounding you do w/ a hammer

    I'm currently looking to replace the bushings on my 1998 xlt (AWD, V-8). NOBODY has my parts correct. I spent 3 hrs yesterday and about 2.5 today to find the correct front set. I have the 34mm sway bar in the front. Now the problem. I can't find a correct set for the rear sway bar. I...

    '98 5.0 pulley noise

    Oh yeah...the bolt template is key for the H2O pump...also, if anyone else out there is gonna do one, you NEED the 2 specialty wrenches for the fan removal. The good thing is that Auto Zone has 'em. My roommate and I made one out of diamond plate (aluminum) and tried using it and a strap...

    '98 5.0 pulley noise

    Well, as it turns out, it wasn't the PS pump...it was the water pump. The noise got louder and LOUDER the more I drove. Once I had the belt of (again) I spun the fan and, since the noise was soooo loud now, I was able to hear the grinding/groan from w/in. It should be fixed by 1300 hrs today...

    '98 5.0 pulley noise

    I've narrowed it down to the PS pump (i think). I did the screwdriver method initially, but only got the noise from the PS pump bracket, not the pump itself. I picked up the pump (and the upper idler pulley to be safe) yesterday. While installing the pump, one of the mounting tabs (actually...

    '98 5.0 pulley noise

    I have a 1998 V8 AWD and about 4 days ago I noticed the motor sounded a bit loud. As the days went by it got louder and louder. I took off the belt, ran it and the noise was gone. Replaced the belt and it's back. I can't tell if it's coming from the PS pump, the upper idler pulley or the...

    Need amp bypass for '98!

    I recently had the same problem. I assumed there was no external amp, but to my suprise...there it was! I was going to splice the two harnesses together, but decided to just run some good speaker wire instead. I'd suggest just running new wire...you can't tap the harness for power...
