Ding...Ding..Ding, we have a winner: Mr. Wick I just tighten the bolt on the wedge (was not quite able to tighten by hand, but it felt very easy with a short wrench). Play is gone, at least for now. Will confirm after driving around a bit. Thank you again for all of you who posted a response...

Aloha Got a slight play on the front left wheel when I hold the wheel at the top and bottom. Side to side seems ok Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo

Aloha Ok thanks for the feedback. I will give it a try. Mahalo

Aloha Was looking to replace my broken crankshaft pulley with a 2 pcs screw in pulley, but I cannot find one. I also look at some of the post and they recommend to replace with a 1 pc pulley. In order to do so there are a lot of thinks that have to come off: Front light, radiator etc... as well...

Aloha Got it. Thanks to all of you who gave advice and support. Not really a car guy but I do get by. Just love the Model A. Attach is a pic of the issue, the pulley seemed fine, but not the spacer, luckily it did not seem to have made any damage inside the engine block. Mahalo again. daniel

Aloha Thanks Chuck, I am trying. I am using a ratchet with an extension thru the crank hole at the bottom of the radiator, and the ratchet is resting on the mount for the bumper driver side, I guess it is correct. I am rocking the car in gear but so far no luck. Maybe an impact wrench would be...

Aloha Drop the oil pan and found some big chunk of metal in the pan. It is coming from the crank shaft pulley or the piece that goes before it with a indentation in it (sorry donʻt know the name for it). Anyway trying to get the bolt out, but to no avail. Any tricks? I hear to try to rest the...

Aloha Thanks to both of you. I believe I should be able to do the work, but I will gone for a few month abroad before I can do the work. I hope it will be ok to contact you then to get more info. One more thing what to do if the ratchet pulley nut is stock? how to remove it? Mahalo

Aloha Need some help with replacing part. I remove the oil pan on my 29 coupe and found some big chunks of metal inside the pan. I found the problem, however not being a mechanic I do not know the name of the part, even looking at manual or part catalogs. Need some help identifying the part...

Aloha, I have a issue with the speedometer, I narrowed down (I believed) to the speedo gear on the drive shaft, it is moving back and forth. I think it maybe that either the retaining clip as slipped out of the groove or it is broken. Is there a way to get to the retaining clip without removing...

Aloha, Different topic, but very interesting, also list the registered cars from 1900 to 1926. Amazing. Have a look. https://newatlas.com/worlds-fastest-production-cars-1894-1914/46196/#gallery

Obviously issues with the starter. Is the battery fully charged? maybe to low to kick the starter. Just to isolate the problem, have you try to remove the spark plug and lay one of them on the block and hand crank it to see if you have spark?

Aloha, Condenser? My car was running fine, then started to backfire and running rough, before not starting at all. Changed the condenser and everything was fine again. Cheap enough just to replace it just to make sure.

Aloha, Have you checked the light switch to see if any steering oil leaking into it. Happened to me and had all kind of weird electrical issues.

Aloha, Trying to figure out what is rattling under my car, especially when I slow down and downshift. It sound like the rods are hitting the bottom of the car. However I have been under the car and the rod seemed pretty tight. Anyone has any ideas? Trying to make the car has quiet as possible...

Aloha, I just replaced my steel drums with cast iron drums. I used Mel Gross (Randy) services, and I can say enough good things about them. While there drums are made in china, they insists on their drums to be done with their specifications. I send my hubs and brake shoes from Hawaii and a week...
