I'm sure it was on this forum. Someone pointed out an improved Manual Hub Spindle nut kit. Instead of One Lockwasher and the two nuts with one containing the small Pressed in pin, It had only one Nut and the Lockwasher that had holes so you can screw it into the single Nut. If anyone...

'91 Eddie B Sunday, Had the wife leave the 'X' home and take my car to Work. I've been wanting to paint the Rear Pillars, Side view Mirrors and the section between the doors that always Fade. I did this task about 5 years ago with very nice results. 5 years and 140000 miles it was time to do...

Does anyone know the Size of the BAttery in the 1st Gen explorers? I'm not talking about the Cold Cranking Amps but the actual Case size so the mounting nub is in the correct place the Pos and Neg are on the correct side, etc.

Does anyone know if the Front Drivers side Motor is the same as the Rear drivers side motor? I got a very slow front Driver window that probably needs those three bushings replaced but I have a Rear Driver motor that I took apart last night and the bushings are in good shape. I Just wanted to...

I have read some of the threads. I had to replace a rear Regulator with a broken cable. nothing to do with the 3 balls that are in the motor housing. Would these balls have that labored, slow affect on a window?

A quick look at a Chiltons book makes it appear that the Front Crank Seal is just pressed into teh Front Housing. Is that right, is there a front housing that bolts to the front of the block? If I take off the Harmonic ballancer/pulley can I get to the Seal? It looks like the Seal seals on the...

http://righttorepair.org/ Not so much with our First Gens but newer cars are basically being held captive from you to fix them or have them fixed. Car manufacturers are designing in new codes and special tools that they legally do not have to share with you or the INDY shops. They are...

Did the Axle 'U' joints Saturday morning. The Circular Dust shields that are held on with the 6 Spindle Nuts is basically gone. It's purpose is to help keep Brake dust out of the rear Hub bearing. Any ideas where to get replacements? I haven't found anything on-line. I was hoping to avoid...

Two listed... a 1 1/16" bearing size and a 1 3/16" bearing size (#436 and #371) . Was there one size for Auto trani's and one for Manuals? I was hoping to buy the part before sliding the axles. '91 Auto

I've owned this 'X' for about 5 years and 160000 miles. Last oil change the gauge read a bit higher then in the past 5 years. It's at the 'M" instead of between the "0" and "R". it is 2500 miles since the oil change and it is still reading higher then what was normal. Any thoughts on why...

I just recently put a new steel Rear brakeline on . I took the Spare down and out of the way for the job. I had to really whack the Mount with a hammer to get it to break loose from the center of the rim. Before putting it back, I checked and filled the tire with air and I greased up the...

If the Crank Sensor fails on these first Gens, will the Fuel pump still pump? Am I coirrect that there is no Cam Sensor on the first Gen motors?

About 3 years ago I had an issue where the one Brakelight wouldn't work unless I lifted the Multifunction switch (Turn Signal) Lever a bit. It's become habit now to just lift the lever a bit after using it. Well, it's getting worse. Question is, does anyone have a procedure to change this...

I'm getting this second hand. I will be looking at this tomorrow evening. '94 Brakes lights work sometimes and sometimes they don't. I suspect maybe the Directional Stalk causing the problem. But usually only one side wont work with this problem, I thought. Is there a Fuse that might...

Ok the OEM cable has several wires coming from the Battery terminal. The two smaller wires together go to a connector in front of the Air filter box. I can see that. No problem there The other smaller wire heads toward the engine and disappears. Where does that attach? Then there is a heavy...

'91, what is the capacity for the rear axle? I have a quart at home just wondering if I need more. Doing the Axle bearings and seals, So it will be empty

I thought I read that the Broncs had a slightly smaller front axle and the Auto or manual Hubs were different. IS this true? I saw a Bronc sitting high on a pile of cars at the junkie and it had manual hubs that would be welcomed sitting on my friends 1st Gen Explorer.

Out of nowhere I have a hesitation. I swear it was bad gas but it's been two tank fulls with Dry Gas and it's still there. The hesitation comes and goes, cold engine or hot. More pronounced on acceleration 10000 miles ago I changed the plugs and 40000 miles ago I did ignition wires...

You know when you walk in an auto parts store thay have the "HELP" stuff on the rotating 'thing'? Does anyone know if they have a Website? I thought I found it once but never saved it. In the Hinge repair that DeRocha wrote up, he has the Hinge Kit from this 'HELP' company I'm talking...

Is that the correct term? The Relay that's on the Passenger fender that goes to the Starter. Can't find it on the NAPA website. I know I bought one before.

Friend has a '96 Mazda B2300. His forward Driveshaft flange ( bolts to the Transfer Case) is humped up. I see that the 'U' joint part numbers are the same as my '91 Explorer. Does anyone know if the flanges are the same AND does someone have a Parts Car that will part with this flange? No...
