you have to remove the four bolts that hold the steering rack to the body,remove the 10mm bolt that holds the steering shaft to the rack,go inside the car and pull the shaft up,pivot the rack so you can get a wrench on the nut,you may also have to remove the return line to get at it,if its stuck you can cut the line off at the nut and use a socket to it out,its not fun and very messy,

92 olds 3.8 metric bolts? on crank pully?

M

mohawk91 on Nov 03, 2008

Time to replace a harmonic balancer a dealership told me the puller uses 10 mm bolts but they are way too big maybe he meant 10 mm socket which might be 6m bolt. Also is crankshaft pully 15/16 or is it metric socket feels a little loose on it. Thanks ChuckRead More

1999 Expedition Starting Problem

S

Stephan1968 on Oct 28, 2008

I have a problem with my Expedition. While driving home Friday afternoon I came to a stop light and the truck stalled out. When attempting to restart, the truck would click and not turn. I had the truck towed and have been attempting to determine the cause and get the truck running. Here is what I have accomplished so far. -When I attempted to start the truck at home, the same problems occured. However the one difference was that it did turn a little before stopping. -Checked the starter solenoid by disconneting the ignition line and applied 12V straight from the battery. It tried, but would not turn. -Shorted out the two lugs on the solenoid, and it tried but wouldn't turn. -Pulled the alternator and had it tested at Western Auto. It was putting out about 16 volts and had a slight noise to it. It may have been the test rig that they had it bolted to. But none the less I didn't replace it. -I pulled the battery since it seemed that there just wasn't enough power to kick it in and run. Western Auto put it on the diagnostic macine and it went into a charge after it was analyzed. When it was done, we checked it again and it came up and said that it was a good battery. - Installed the battery and the engine turned, but didn't fire up. -The battery gauge on the dash now shows a low battery. And when attempting to trun over the gauges all drop off to nonthing and when the key is returned to the idle position they all max out and then drop to nothing. The needles then go to a normal state (ie 3/4 full indication on the gas needle) I don't think that it is the starter since the wheels will turn, but haven't rulled that out. I am at a loss as to where to go now. I really can not afford to have a shop work on it and I don't have the funds to buy parts that will not fix the problem. The truck had been running really well since I had replaced the COP's and spark plugs about a year ago. Please help me....Read More
