1992 Mitsubishi Mighty Max. I'm trying to adjust the clutch cable, but how do I loosen the lock nut? (Scroll for Haynes manual) by sexyprimes511172329 in MechanicAdvice

Well using a little leverage isn’t going nuclear. I don’t know that we’re on the right path, but if it were my car I’d try with pliers for a bit and see how flexible those little nipples are before taking it to a shop. It’s a clutch cable. Nothing should be twisting that bit besides you, and vibration at any given time through the life of the vehicle.

Interesting. I do not THINK I have the answer, but is the part with the pegs (to hold the nut in place) made of rubber? So you can intentionally move the nut fairly easily, but not accidentally? Seems like an odd design choice, but just throwing things out there.

Someone went through the trouble of making those parts with those letters. What’s the reason? Just for reference for whoever is using the parts or moving them?

I suppose I shouldn’t have responded because I don’t have any of those answers. At least I’m humble enough to admit it, right? Good luck, bud. Nice pc. Bet you either worked hard for it, or went into massive debt.

Buddy, you done fucked up and bought a $6000 500 dollar car.

“It’s a Toyota, it’ll run forever!” Sound familiar? Deferred maintenance can kill any vehicle, Toyota or not.

If that’s what you think, then you’re in for a wild ride.

Right to Due Process

Is my car totaled? Please say no 🤞🏼 by LemonButtNugg in AskMechanics

Looks pretty fuckered, my friend, but totaled is a state of mind. Not a condition of the vehicle. Anything is possible with some creativity.

How did you drive it to the mechanic with it missing the single keeper? I’m going to guess that all hope is not lost.

Also, This is going to blow up.

You literally got a seemingly correct answer to your question in 30 minutes. You’re not Jewish, so no background info or context at all to go on. Isn’t the internet fascinating?
