I am trying to get the pnion nut off of the rear axle so that i can replace 
the pinion seal.
Does anyone know if this has a reverse thread?  I have tryed everything to 
bust this loose. an impact gun, a breaker bar. i even tryed heating the nut 
up

Larry,

It is designed to only go on once.  Once it is removed it is recommended to 
be replaced.  I removed mine with an impact air wrench.  It took a while to 
get it removed.

One thing at this point you need to record the torque specs.  This is based 
on the AMC tech manual.  Unfortunatly I removed mine before finding this 
out.  I am not sure how your can record this if the bolt is seized, but 
there are no torque specs for reinstallation.  I often wonder if I got mine 
to the correct specs.

I was going to count the turns.  My impact gun has 450 foot pounds of 
torque.
I can't imagine I need more then that.  I thinking about hooking up a 
come-along to a breaker bar connected to a socket.
Next will be cutting the nut

I believe mine is up to 750 ft/lbs. and it still took a while. Try 
penetrating fliud like PB blaster or Liquid Wrench.  It is in a bad position 
so a long breaker bar will not work to well unless the exhaust is removed.

The torque on the pinion nut can be any amount. Why you should take a torque reading before you take the nut off is to reset the drag force between the pinion bearings. You will need to use a new crush spacer when you remove the nut. But the nut can be reused with some loctite.

Message-ID: <18933C442BA74D7799CAC4BFA31F4EF6@work>

the torque they talk about measuring is the torque it takes to turn the rear
end, usually measured in inch pounds
It is best measured with the drums removed. if you get the drag/torque close
to the same then you should be good and whine free,
 Greg if you rear end doesn't whine or clink you are pretty close

The torque reading before removal is from the 1974 AMC Technical Reference 
manual.  This is the only time I have seen a reference like this in the 
manual.  All the other torque settings are listed in the manual as a 
predefined amount.  Since I removed mine before finding this out I had to 
torque mine down based on drag.  Like I indicated before with a siezed nut I 
am not sure how you could take a torque setting that would be accurate.

Don't have a number. But if your car is a driver. Buy a pair and carry a spare. Learnt that in my on and off-road air cooled days.

Hi, 
 
Does anyone know the part number for the "probe"  that the temp guage is connected to on the 351 Windsor. It is bolted on to the block and the wire from the guage attaches to it. 
I'm playing with my air conditioning compressor and somehow shorted out the probe. 
 
Thanks,

Subject: [Bricklin] Heater Control Cable
Message-ID: <EA288694C08A4564B9FFE8B05B9EF851@greg>

Anyone have a part number or source for a heater control cable.  This is the
cable that goes from the air control panel to the heater control.

Mine is worn and slides through the clip that is suppose to hold the wire in
the fixed position so wire can close and open the heater control

I was finally able to get the yoke nut off to replace the seal, but when I 
disconnected the u joint, one of the ends came off and all of these little 
rods or rollers came out.

anybody have a part number or can tell me what the u joint crosses to?

:Larrry, 

It should cross to an AMC Hornet.  I believe the rear end is a AMC 20.

Hey Gang,

I was looking forward to the Manassas meet this year, as it was the first one
that was really close to me (about 4 hr.) instead of the 10 to 13 hr drive. :)

Anyway, unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it.

My 2 boys have been working together to try and get home at the same time for
a visit.  Guess when they both could get off?  That's right the same 
time as our
meet.

Hope everyone has a great time.  Talking to Steve, the drive should 
be very nice.
I think you are going to make a stop at the Griss Mill in Millwood, 
VA.  That place
is fantastic, especially if you are into mechanical things!!!!

John,

Great that you get to see your kids at the same time.  But what kind of 
excuse is that?  ;)  Terry's three daughters are all coming back at the 
same time also, and they are all coming to the meet with him!  You 
should bring your sons with you to the meet. Make it a family event and, 
tour the battlefield, go sight-seeing, etc.  I have 2 extra bedrooms and 
a fold-out sofa in my basement if you need a place to crash.  It's not 
very far from the meet.  You are welcome to stay, just let me know.

For any other hold-outs, you can register at the meet, but we would like 
a count for the banquet by Wednesday.  Hope to see everyone there.

Sorry to say John is not the only one that is not going to make the meet this
year. I just have too much going on here and Maureen is scheduled for surgery
on the 1st. If I go make it, it will be for Saturday only. Will see how things
work out. Have fun, send pictures.

George,

Thanks for the offer.

Yes, I know, what a wimp.  The oldest lives in DC on Blair St NW.  The youngest
lives in Columbus, and is bring his girlfriend and at least 1 
dog.  Then they both
have to leave on Sun to be back at work on Mon.

Again no problem for the DC ite.  Just drive up there.  But for the 
one from columbus, that presents a little more of a problem.  Then 
there's mom to figure
into all this. :)

Hi... I was out with the Bricklin today and had to pull off the road once as
the engine died due to  vapor lock... and got stuck in the middle of an
intersection ten miles further with the same problem.

A question to those who may have had the same issue: how did you solve the
vapor lock problem?

 I have never had a problem with vapor lock on my Bricklin, but I have an
Avanti that has. I solved the problem by putting a thicker gasket under the
carburetor to reduce the heat that was being transferred from the intake
manifold. I know other folks who have installed an electric fuel pump - with
higher fuel pressure vapor can't stay in the line.




 Here is an article that discusses some additional solutions.

I understand that gas with ethanol is worse for causing vapor lock than the
pure gas older cars were designed to run on. Here is a website that lists
stations that still sell ethanol free gas.

If you have enough space a carb spacer may be a good option.

Jacques,

If you install the electric fuel pump, especially if it pumps over 4 
psi, you'll
probably need a regulator to drop the pressure to about 4psi.  Otherwise the
float may not be able to cut off the fuel supply and the fuel 
will  overflow the
carb onto the block.

 Hi, 
Anyone who is not attending the meet this weekend may be able to help me. I'm having trouble with my AC on 2792 and have a hose that is leaking freon. I would like to change both hoses from the compressor but do not know if they are Bricklin specific parts or if there is a part number for them. 
Any info would be appreciated. 
Thanks, 
Don

 I am pretty sure they are Bricklin specific. Most major cities have shops
that will make custom AC hoses though. Just take them your old one and they
will duplicate it. If there isn't a shop in your area, you can mail order
them. Here is one source.

Don,

I do not believe they are Bricklin specific.  It would probably follow AMC 
Hornet or Ford Granada/Mercury Monarch depending on 74 or 75.  I had mine 
custom built since my original hose was laying on the engine and the heat 
caused a place to weaken the hose and it busted.  I wanted mine a little 
longer so I could have some space above the engine to prevent this from 
happening again.  It was very entertaining when it happened with the cold 
smoke coming from under the car, but it was a pain to clean all the oil off 
the engine.  So I would prefer this to not happen again.

Thanks to George Curley and all the others who worked hard to put on the
Eastern meet.  Had a great time and looking forward to the next one.
Hopefully, we'll be able to bring our car next time.

Hey all. I have a driver side door. Not the skin. The entire door. I am not
positive what year it is but I think possibly a 74. If someone wants to tell
me how I can tell te difference I will be happy to look. I believe it has the
Window mechanism in it as well as the glass. It is in pretty good shape. No
major rust at all.  Make me a decent offer. I am in NY. long island Nassau
county. This would obviously need to be picked up. I also have some interior
parts. List to follow. Ask if I have something and I will get back to you
asap. Thanks all!!
Chris
