So I've finally gotten the motivation to pull my SOHC and replace the timing system. Ive been pulling and disconnecting stuff right left and center no problem, my rad came out beautifully, steering pumps outa the way, then I done ***ed up... I'm onto the A/C compressor and Im looking at it and went to taking that off the engine. A step calls for removing a 13mm bolt on a support bracket for a line. Well, I found a 13 mm bolt on something that resembled a support bracket. Ohh It wasn't. That bolt shot out and with it 9 ounces of yellow crap and me screaming and running away just as fast. Jeez, for 9 ounces it sure covered my windshield and engine compartment well.. This night of work ended with me walking away, taking a shower, and washing my underwear.
Lesson learned: Do NOT touch that bolt ever again.
Owell, its winter time. Who needs A/C anyways. I now know what R134a looks and smells like. The smell sucks. Tomorrow will be me airing out the garage and cleaning my half token apart truck >.<
