nevermind. I found a set of AC/Fuel Line disconnecters by Lisle at Sears. These are little plastic rings that snap over the line and allow you to release the springs holding the fuel line on the filter. I guess Sears just started stocking them a couple of months ago in addition to the wrench...

performancenut: Gah, thanks for reminding me. Where the heck can I get the proper size wrench to undo the little fuel filter retaining gasket things? I've tried all sorts of the 4 in 1 combo things and even the at home mechanic down the street's chest and neither of us can seem to find the...

I had this done at lube stop and it took about a 20 minutes. They hooked all of the injectors up to a machine they said would drip cleaner and the like through them (I'm assuming the seafom and whatever cleaner that was referred to before.) After they had been done, I let the engine idle for a...

I just got this stuff called Eagle One All Wheel cleaner. It's in a clear spray bottle with an orange liquid and black sprayer. This stuff ate right through the brake pad dust and all kinds of other crap on my rims and tires. It was a little under 4 bucks for a bottle at Wal-Mart this past...

Thanks a lot Alec and Boomin'. I was skeptical to the U-joint being the source of the problem as well but I don't know enough about cars or my car myself to be able to make a 100% or even 75% right diagnosis on most problems. I disc'd the battery cable like you suggested and let it relearn...

95 Explorer Sport automatic, 4wd... just turned 109k today. I'm not sure how often the ATF/Filter has been changed but I know I haven't changed it since I've owned it (bought it at 101,000) . The guy before me religiously took it to lube stop, so if they do tranny stuff there as part of the...

Ok, so I was making a gradual right turn when I hear a clunk-ish type noise and acceleration felt sluggish. The Overdrive Off light was flashing (and no, I hadn't pushed the button halfway or anything). I pulled over to a side street, put her in park and started her back up again. The light kept...

Well, lucky me... my buddy (the one that left it open) decided he was going to buy our other buddy's eibach springs off of him and drop them on to his koni's and also buy his stereo head unit since the other buddy was selling his miata and knew he wouldn't get the extra few hundred bucks for...

Thanks for the help.

Hey, my buddy gave me his old Panasonic CQ-DF601U since he left my sunroof open and felt bad. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew, or could point me in the right direction as to how to find which plastic piece I need to take up the rest of the dash/console piece and the wiring harness, how to...

My 95 Ex Sport seems to take a 5/16th tool and the lowest mine goes is 3/8ths. Is that right? or am I somehow not using the 3/8th right.

Lol, I am lucky enough to have my own garage bay at home, but this kid's frat house didn't have one ;)

I did mine just like Brad and Rhett said. I have heard that it can be done easily like MrShorty said too, just by cutting the wheel hard left before you park it - hence, opening up the entire area behind the front passenger wheel.

I managed to get at my #6 from through the hood using a short extension bar, a long one, and a U-joint adapter. I think I positioned the extenstions inbetween one of the heater hoses and something else. Just make sure if you do it this way that the joints are locked together solidly and that you...

LimitedEx: I have seen it at almost all chain Auto parts stores and Wal Mart. If you have one of those around you, it should be a safe bet they'll have some.

I just had the injectors cleaned and I really haven't noticed it since then. Hopefully that took care of it.

I kind of lucked out. My ex was for the most part level and it seemed to settle on the floormats behind the driver and passenger seats (2 door). Must of that got sucked out with the vac. There wasn't any standing water...just a dampness. Everything seems to be drying out fairly well except for...

It has almost 109k on it and it seems to shudder start sometimes. Like, I'll turn the key and it will spark and that, but it seems like the engine needs an extra giddyup to get it going occasionally. Other times it used to idle out right as I would start it if I didn't give it gas. This only...

I used a heavy duty wet dry vac earlier today...there's just some parts I can't reach with that vaccuum that have a hair of a dampness feel to them. Hopefully the constant airflow will evaporate some of it.

There's a kid by me that has that color on what looks to be a 95 X Sport just like mine. Mine is the metallic green color though.

Drying my X after my buddy borrowed it one night and left the sunroof open.

You may find this one amusing. <img src="http://www.explorerforum.com/data/503/16611drying_x.jpg"> In case the image doesn't display automatically: http://www.explorerforum.com/data/503/16611drying_x.jpg

Ugh...I love it when I let friends borrow my car. Anyway, I was at my buddy's house and he borrowed my Explorer to go pick up his girlfriend. He opened the sunroof and then forgot to close it (doh.) Well wouldn't you know it, it happened to rain last night. I've gotten most of the interior dried...

If worse comes to worse, you might also be able to try this if the bolt sticks out. Find a junk socket that fits snugly over the exposed bolt Put some JB-Weld compound on the insides of the socket (that is some strong stuff!). Let the socket set overnight and seal up, then back it out with a...

Annoying serpentine chirp... any suggestions? The belt was changed just before I bought the car (around 100k miles and I have since put an additional 8,000 on it). Belt Dressing spray takes the chirp out when I spray it in (usually in the morning) for the day, but it seems to start up again the...
