Mine was a pain. If I remember correctly lift the arm so it's sticking out towards you. You will see a little clip where the arm joins to the post for the motor. Move that 'out' with a flat head screw driver and pull the arm off. My arm was on the post pretty good but eventually came off.

I am actually having this problem. Battery died. Took it out to charge. Went to reconnect. Connects pos first. When I connect the neg the alarm is sounding off. Any ideas?

is this one possible root of having the OD light flashing?

there's another thread from a guy who's detailed his steps pretty good. i know you don't have to bend the rod end. i did this job but i can't recall the specifics. it wasnt that hard. my replacement handle came with rivets. but our rivit gun was too small for them. we drilled a...

Removing the LH camber was the hardest part of the operation for me. I had my brother from above prying and me from the well prying the lines to get them out of the plastic mount with a screw driver. The other thing to be aware of is that the camber bolt once unbolted will swing in a...

I just did it two weekends ago - what a PITA is right....it took 2 hours of beer, pounding and wiggling that bolt

Bronco.....out of curiousity what size of BFG's you going to go with? are you going with the Long Terrain, AT's or MT's? I was just out pricing BFG's today at lunch. 255 / 70 / R16's thx.....Mike.

well got it all done on sunday. the clunking is finally gone. i've got pics if anyone wants to check them out.

i've got the drivers side off and the new control arm on now. the question i have is which way are the adjuster cams & cam bolts supposed to sit? (what way are the bevels to sit?) - hope that makes sens. these ones are marked with FA and GA? one is specifically for the front i am assuming...

thanks etc. my friend has the replacement arms for me - work set to start tonight.

i had the same thing and changed both front hubs and all was well.

site of bolts does anyone know the size of the upper cam bolt and nut for this exercise? it doesnt seem that i have the right size wrench and dont want to screw around buying the wrong size five times.....

Thanks for the responses guys. I will give this a shot.

I've searched and determined I am correct and I need to replace my upper control arms. Just from looking at the upper ball joints I can tell they need to be replaced (let alone the ride!). When I was searching I didn't come accross any hints/tips to do this job effectively? Can anyone...

got em in! well i finally got the urge to get this done. it was pretty cold out for a while and then i got in a fender bender. now i that i got the explorer back (had a 2004 GMC for rental) i needed to get it feeling like new.... anyways thanks for the tips.....i know for sure i would...

thanks for the pointers guys.....I'll let you know how it goes! i need to either brave the cold or find a heated garage as winter has hit!

it's actually the opposite - the latches are remaining open and not closing against the 'post' they latch onto - the drivers side went a few months ago and then this week the passengers side went (prob due functioning on it's own for a few months)

Has anyone had to pleasureable experience of the mechanism in their rear hatch latches to let go not allowing the gate to close? both of mine are shot and I've got bungie cords holding it shut from the inside. i've got the latches and haven't started the task yet....any pointers, hints or...

thanks Bill. I ended up looking in the resevoir and it was empty.....I just filled it up before I left work. It must have leaked out somehow as I was pumping it driving home. I then half filled with water making sure I never spilled any on the garage floor. My room-mate pumped it while I...

ok this may sound stupid....my front wiper motor is humming and no juice is coming out. i was having intermitent problems when it first got cold out.....one side worked one day then the other the next.....then the resevoir ran dry. i thought at first it was possibly a little water in the...

i am having problems with mine - on mine it's cause the drivers side latch spring or something like that isn't triggering.....i found one at the wreckers to replace it with and man it seems like a major pain in the butt to get off and replace.....at the dealer the cost is aprox $60 cdn.

moose hunting of course.....just got back from a week of moose hunting in northern ontario...my ex was put to the test once again and held up ok.....only repair i had to do was replace rear axle seal.......i've got some pics being developed (35mm - no digi yet) i'll try and get 'em scanned so i...

Re: factory lift???? for real? i think you're right my expedition doesnt look any different than any 96 sport imo.....

i have a 95 expedition as well.......not sure what the major differences are but i know the compass and temp gauge are standard on the sports

here's a shot of the broken bolt

great write-up great write up guys....replaced my rear axle seal today.....darn pinion shaft lock bolt was snapped and in place.....when i took the wrench to it - it was surprisingly loose. had to then drill a hole and extract the bolt and replace with a new one the local canadian tire had.

good point - i pull all new rotors and pads on at the same time !

i've got some digital photos of the hub assembly install i did on my 95 sport a few weeks ago.....pm me with email and i can sent 'em to ya.....i can't seem to figure out how to 'shrunk' the size so i can upload on villagephotos.com

does anyone know if you can buy the indigo with KM as the primary speed measurement or you have to buy with miles?? everywhere i've looked it''s miles

thanks ..... i've triple checked the wiring and it all looks like it is wired (+) (-) correctly. the grey/red wire is wired to the center part and the black is wired to the body. the funny thing is the new lighter worked the first time i tried it (without the power point being...

i came up with the bright idea to splice the power point and put a 2nd cigarette lighter in the center console. so what i did was take the top of the console off and cut the wires going to the power point on the passengers side. i then installed the 2nd cigarette lighter and spliced the...

i had the same happen to me last year. my buddy and I drilled out the old rivots and put the new one on. We had to fab it up though cause the rivots that came with the door handle from ford wouldn't fit our rivot gun..... we ended up drilling some holes and putting a total of 4 rivots...

try out the following - i think this is what you are looking for.... http://www.caswellplating.com/vht/vht_spec.htm

i am not only a newbie here - but as well a newbie on working on my explorer......started off with some help on hubs, rotors/pads, ball joints, tie-rods......now i'd like to try something simple on my own (or at least i think) you know what's really driving me nutz these days is that my RPM...

dood this is a common problem - i took mine off for about a year and notice the tires were throwing a lot of stones and chipping the paint on the underside of the doors...even the painted door handles of my '95.....i ended up sand blasting them, taking a grinder with a wire brush to get into the...

i removed my bars from my 95 explorer due to the amount of corrosion on them....i had them off for a year and found my tires were throwing a lot of stones and crap up... as a result i was getting chips along the bottom of the doors...i've since put the bars back on and need to either buy...
