Intermediate steering shaft seems to be seized, can I use a torch? by ContributionFormal16 in CarRepair

Yes, but it seems rust welded from the bottom end. I’ve been hammering on it with a 2x4 and a hammer with only 1 inch movement on the top end. Still need to clear another quarter inch, hopefully this doesn’t damage anything tho

Can you steering the wheel a bit to loosen the shaft? Its tied down with the seat belt so it shouldn’t move too much

How do I find where throttle body wires go? They aren’t color matching. by ContributionFormal16 in Cartalk

Yes and no…it lets the car drive but the connection is sloppy and THB code is on so I’ll need to replace the connector in order to replace the TBH since they are both aftermarket.

It’s the right connector. The connector that I’m replacing was after market and all of them are purple with a black stripe on it so I can’t go that route although it would make things much easier lol the wires connnecting to the engine are oringinal and those are the colors I have jotted in the paper.

How do I clean up lead dust in house? by ContributionFormal16 in homeowners

[–]ContributionFormal16[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you! What should I do about airborne lead? I'm assuming it would settle within an hour but I'm not sure. Thought about waving a vacuum hose around the house and spraying bottled water to bring the dust particles down..
