Re: Aftermarket shift knob...

Why complicate the things? clean the rod, put few turns of cloth tape to prevent the zip tie from sliding. remove the plastic clip in for the gaiter that goes into the oem knob. If you want it fancy you could make a groove in the rod for the zip tie using a dremel. Or cut threads into the new shift ...

You need to disassemble it, and where the spindle ( part that has thread to attach the wiper arm) you will have to remove the c-clips, and push it out. There is a bronze bushing and it gets rusted. I'd...

Re: Oil Filter removal

Looking through the Elsa, th...

Re: Oil Filter removal

Still cannot get the ratchet bar straight down or anywhere near straight so put on the swivel joint and managed to get some purchase on it.
