    Replacing upper door skins, is it really this tough?

    use a hair dryer or a heat gun, I have even boiled water on the stove and put the fabric/ material into the rising steam to help in heating it up.

    Problem?

    Check the power steering fluid, on mine if the fluid is low the pump will squeal, progressively louder the farther I turn.

    AMC 20 Brakes

    Thank you gentlemen, I apologize for the delay in responding, I am going to work on it again tonight, I have had my son soak them at least twice a day for the past cpl days. If they do not come off again will I hurt the axel any if I use a puller? I believe my largest one will just clear the...

    AMC 20 Brakes

    OK, I drilled the screw heads out, soaked the studs, and where I assume the drum rides(see attached pic with yellow circle). Would I be correct to assume that the drum just may be very stuck? Do I have to remove the axel nut? There is definitely something wrong inside the drum, I can engage the...

    AMC 20 Brakes

    I need some assistance, I am trying to check the rear brakes as I have 1 wheel holding with the e-brake on. My manuals (Haynes) does not specify how to remove the drum. I have 2 out of 3 screws in the drum (see pic), do these hold the drum on? I have never worked on an AMC rear, so sorry if this...

    kill switch hook up

    The battery positive comes off the battery directly to the battery kill switch behind the glove box, from there it goes to the solenoid and routes as stock. With the battery positive to the kill switch first when you turn the switch off all electrical power is killed. I do have to reset the...

    82 CJ7 rear end

    Well X-Mas is around the corner and as the Jeep is my son and mine, I am considering beefing up the rear end for him as a x-mas present. My question is: With the AMC 20 would I be smarter to brace the center chunk and axel tubes, get a locker and alloy 1 piece axels? Or get a 8.8 or some other...

    Not if but when, again...damnit!

    You are correct Terry, I could not do it either, but he was fed up with being broken into, the first two times they removed the radio tearing up harnesses and the dash cover. Those were expensive to fix. After the burglar cut himself pretty good, he only left the blades on the radio under the...

    Tow Hitch

    IMHO, find a U-Haul and get a class 3 hitch installed, at least in my neck of the woods the cost savings of picking it up and installing it don't cover the extra $$$ of letting them do it. Plus the installation is warranted for a period of time. I had mine installed for just under $200 including...

    Not if but when, again...damnit!

    I had a friend of mine who had his soft top ruined and his (non valuable possessions) stolen several times. What ended up happening was he super glued razor blades to the undersides of all the areas of the jeep. The theif was never caught, but the last time he broke into this jeep he left alot...
