Airbag Mounting Screws - Replaceable?

[cory58]

When you are pressing bushings into/out of lollipops on a press, what do you set the lollipop on top of to keep it in place without interfering with the opening for the bushing?

Thanks, ...

At least it's red - maximum smiles/$!

I've been SCCA club racing for 26 years and learned a long time ago to never add up the costs. I once made the mistake of telling my wife the cost of...

It was not cheap, but I bought the Bav Auto CAB tool when it was on sale. After two bushing replacements I LOVE IT! Makes the job quick and easy on the car.

Yes - that Russian video is very interesting (and potentially very helpful since these couplers are NLA). Thanks for posting it. I am in the process of removing the the coupler on my '92 cabrio (big-time...

The replacement u-joint units in your links are for racing applications. Not really suitable for the street. The rubber disk serves a purpose for street use....

So true and I like it that way. The R3v FB site is home for all the useless comments now. Any day without seeing the word "prolly" is a good one.

It's obvious that a much smaller...

Thanks to the great info here, elsewhere on the internet and in Rob Siegel's "Just Needs a Recharge," I finally updated the AC system in my Touring. Many thanks to the OP of this thread and...

Think I just answered my own questions. Found this info on an automotive AC forum.

"Gas is always on top of the can, so holding the can upright will charge gas, upside down, liquid."...

Welcome to the Touring club! More info!

[cory58]

Just received my rebuilt compressor back and this notice was in the box. Not sure what "Liquid Charge" means. Is that warning something I need to worry about? My understanding is that the...

Great. Thanks for the info!

Great AC write-up. So glad there's finally a compressor conversion bracket for the M20. One question - did you have to modify both lines to the Sanden or just one?

Thanks, Cory

[cory58]

Thanks. I will definitely try it again that way but there does not seem to be enough movement up the steering shaft to get it off the rack. Will be kicking myself if I can get it off that way after...

I posted a similar thread a few months ago and one of the suggestions was to make sure there are no kinks in the PS hoses.

Thank you! My plan is to push it in (shorten it) once the nut is loose, so I can remove the steering coupler under the car. Do you think that will work?

Cory...

[cory58]

Thank you. I've seen pictures of the lock clamp (in Bentley manual and elsewhere) but don't see one on my car, so I thought the lock clamp is for earlier or non-airbag cars. Do you think heat would help...

[cory58]

Thank you rougetoaster. You confirmed what I was thinking. I was just hoping for something different because I want to retain the airbag wheel so this leaves me with all bad options.

What...

I needed to remove the steering wheel on my '92 vert and barely got the airbag off because the heads of the T-30 screws are stripped. Has anyone replaced those screws? I tried to remove them but they...
