I took my left reaf hub and drum to a shop to have them swage in some new wheel studs. They got one stud done and then the tool cracked in two places during the second one. I got the $8 "stud installation tool" from a vendor, Snyders I believe. Is there a better tool out there? I'm also...

Alright gang, I was replacing my tires and when I had the left rear wheel off, I discovered the axle wobbles up/down left/right. It does not move in/out. Is there a bearing at the end of the axle housing? How far apart do I need to disassemble this thing? I really don’t want to rebuild the...

Got something I don't understand. I just rebuilt my carb, fuel gauge, and removed and cleaned everything between the fuel tank and the intake manifold. Got it all put back together, put some gas in the tank, opened the shutoff valve, and no gas would flow into the sediment bowl. I had a NAPA...

I got a new pencil filter screen from Mike's, the kind that sticks into the shutoff valve at the tank. I have an original valve (pretty certain) and it doesn't seat tight. I've read older posts where people had to "tin" them. Is this just putting some solder around it and sanding it round?

I'm rebuilding my carb and it's time to paint it. I know most people paint them flat or low gloss black but mine was painted a steel color so it looked aluminum. Anybody out there paint their carb something other than black? I don't care if it's technically correct, just needs to look good.

I took apart my Zenith carb on my '29 and saw that the fuel valve looks different than what's in my kit. In the pic, the one on the right is what was in there already, the left one is the new one. Is one of these styles better than the other? Also, is it really necessary to drill out the...

Does it matter much what material gaskets I use in the gas gauge? I need to replace the existing cork float so I'm going to need some new gaskets too. I saw there are neoprene gaskets that sound better than cork ones. I was going to use a neoprene float also.

Is the fan pressed on? I took the nut off the water pump shaft but I can't get the fan loose. Thanks.

I was trying to replace my upper hose with one of those stainless inserts I got from Macs. The existing temp gauge/probe is 30yrs old and doesn't fit in this new insert. I'd have to get a 1/2 to 3/8 (pipe thread) adapter, but there is no lip for the probe to seat against. Does anybody know...

Does anybody know if Simple Green will hurt paint? I want to clean up my engine compartment while I've got the hood and radiator off. My restoration is 30yrs old now and still in excellent condition. I'm worried about ruining the paint at all. I've also thought about using some Gunk engine...

Hi everyone, I've got a fyling quail cap that seems frozen and won't turn loose from the radiator. I did remove the set screw. Does anyone have a trick to help get this off? Thanks for any help.
