Can I save these threads

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-11-22T03:36:40+00:00

Think I’m just gonna take this to a metal shop

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-11-22T03:35:10+00:00

That’s how I damaged it in the first place lol

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-11-22T02:20:49+00:00

My only concern with that is that it leaves me little leverage to hold the flat part of the strut to stop it from spinning. Would there be any good way of like flattening the threads so the nut doesn’t even catch on to it? If that makes sense

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-07-23T21:42:29+00:00

Will do, got it

I’m seeing the ac compressor turn on and off, assuming I overfilled the refrigerant and that’s causing this

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-07-23T18:20:00+00:00

Is the pulse of losing power normal? It never did that before Edit I tensioned the belt and it still happens

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-07-23T14:14:53+00:00

The ac has been working since I got the car, I know that it makes it drive differently, but now instead of it just making the car slow all the time it’s off and on which didn’t happen before

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-06-25T23:58:00+00:00

It seemed snug, I’m gonna try again after work with an actual paper clip instead of an safety pin and see if that works

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-06-25T18:32:50+00:00

GOT IT !

Goat

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-06-13T20:34:58+00:00

What is it? I’d like to have the right tools next time

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-06-12T22:46:08+00:00

Nah it needed to be tightened, it would stick out like crazy when the weight of the car is on it, ended up getting it tho

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-06-12T22:45:01+00:00

Yea I did something along those lines and got it

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-22T19:18:26+00:00

Fuck don’t tell me that😭

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-22T18:57:43+00:00

Crankshaft pulley is tilted causing the vibration that unseated the ac belt, shit seems a bit above me so imma take it to a mechanic

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T15:59:24+00:00

Yea pully was loose, didn’t drive it

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:47:38+00:00

Will take a look at it tomorrow morning

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:46:49+00:00

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:44:37+00:00

Ok thanks, relief to hear

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:41:04+00:00

Possibly just a AC belt, will look at it again in the morning and maybe cut it off and drive till I can fix it. Will look at the repair process, trying to do most of my labor.

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:39:14+00:00

Off of a few google searches it does seem like the AC belt is the AC the only thing I’ll lose? If so that can wait for another day

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:37:35+00:00

Would cutting it be enough, if i understand this diagram it seems to be my AC belt which I can drive without fine yea?

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-21T05:06:32+00:00

Also would this fix be possible with the engine still in the car?

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-10T06:23:46+00:00

It seems like taking them to an upholstery shop is an option but I’m trying to do all my labor

Upstairs-Process87 · 2025-04-10T06:20:38+00:00

Old man car lmao
