HI, I'm unfortunately about to take my Lincoln off the road and was wondering if anyone near Ottawa ON would be interested. Thanks

Yeah I see that lol.

OK I'll need to get one more u joint but I'll give that a go tomorrow. I soaked it in liquid wrench again when gave up this afternoon so hopefully it's not so stuck.

That's the set up I used but instead with 1/2"

Oh OK I was thinking literally a gas wrench. I tried the socket with lock extension and the socket was on an angle so was couldn't turn it enough. Also didn't have room for swivel joint.

I still don't see how I'd fit any wrench in there. Is this something you've done?

I've also never heard of heater core going. I'd suggest doing a dye test which you can get cheap and check all your cooling pieces.

What makes you think it's heater core.

Everything that is plastic.

Hey guys, I have an 03 Lincoln LS with 3.9L. I am looking to remove my cats and am having a hard time with the studs nearest the engine. On both side I was able to remove the studs that point out from the car. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove both cats? Thanks

I filled it to the hot line at the degas bottle. It was a little below cold line. It stayed where it was for about 3 months after I replaced degas bottle so don't think I have a lead again

Where on earth did you get that lse bumper around here.

For coils I bought the cheapest set in Amazon and got all 8 for like $75. And have had no issues since. If you can just replace all of them in one shot your much better off cause others will follow. Check to make sure plugs arnt fouled. I also used NGK plugs. Don't even consider putting regular...

Hey guys, I'm going for a long drive home tomorrow 600kmish. So I topped up all my fluids and what not, but without thinking I topped up my coolant. Does this mean I'm going to have to bleed it out or should I still be OK. Thanks.

The rear mount actually looks like a plausible option. More piping would be involved but doesn't seem like anything to unreasonable, or something a shop can't handle.
