My steering box will come out of my 'Cuda this weekend.....
With the 440 STAGE V HEMI CONVERTED engine, 2-1/4" header-primaries this job is MASSIVE.
The following parts will need to come off;
Battery.
Brake booster
EFI gas hoses.
Sway bar bracket driver side
Starter motor,
coolant fluid drainage
all to reach the 16 hard to get at bolts on the raised exhaust port HEMI heads.
There will be:
coursing, bleeding knuckles, and a lot of "looking around for the right tools", and even "tool heating and bending" to get at some of those bolts.
Country music listening (Internet radio is the BEST investment ever !!)
Climbing down/up the grease pit,
Yelling and cries...(me)
Laughs ( My friends)
2 of my friends finds the whole process so interesting, last night they brought their beer to my garage.
For most of the time they sat in their chairs and just enjoy the whole show.
Perhaps I should ask for entrance fees to night?
I JUST WISH IT WAS ME WATCHING THEM STRUGGLING.
But believe me, for reaching some of those bolts, friends ARE needed.
And then,...in a few weeks time when I get my steering box back from Firm Feel,.... the whole show in reverse.
..an even harder exercise.... ALL THIS WORK,..and NOBODY will ever notice the difference to the car....but the few people DRIVING it.
I ask myself MANY times why I bother all this wrenching,...but when I see the cars ready to drive,... it all makes sense..... (sorry,...an older picture of my 'cuda used to emphasis my point)
