Did my headlight bushings today (C4)
A piece of cake!! Did both sides in under an hour and a half...
It was valuable to use the Photo-instructions off the web, there was one allen head that had to be loosened only to get one of the motor mount bolts out. I would of had to scratch my head on that one for while. Nothing but powder inside. Can't believe I put it off for so long. :-) LOL -- Ric Seyler |

Never heard of anyone having any problems with the headlights on a c4.

Never come close to 1.5 hours.
Me either. It takes almost that long just to drink two six packs, let alone take something apart and put it back together. By the way, be careful because it's possible to reassemble incorrectly and the lights open in the control switch closed position and vice versa. Maybe that was the time I had three six packs. Can't remember. Charlie "Paul H." > wrote in message ... > RicSeyler wrote: > > A piece of cake!!

LOL ???
4 10mm nuts and 2 bolts and 1 connector on each bucket, had them out in 15 min.. tapped out the roll pin and taped the arm into original position, 3 bolts on the motor cover (after loosening the allen head and removing the other), off came the gear cover, blew out the mess, popped in the pellets, a little spray lith grease on the gear teeth and back together.... what took me the longest was getting the right side gear out of the housing and aligning the buckets with the hood. Seriously the '94 was a piece of cake. Paul H. wrote: > RicSeyler wrote: > >> A piece of cake!!

LOL
I used tape on the arm and actuator link to keep them in their original position, I was worried about that too after looking at it on the bench. I said to myself I'll bet that could spin backwards Iff'in I hook it up wrong . You confirmed it! LOLOL Charlie Funk wrote: >Never come close to 1.5 hours. > >Me either.

It must have been the beverages.
That took me so long to do the bushings. ) I'll bet there is a relationship between project time and how much beer you drink, but I'm not sure what it is. Charlie "RicSeyler" > wrote in message ...

I'll also bet there's a correlation between the amount of beer consumed, the number of wrenches dropped and the number of knuckles skinned. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (now with no coolant leak) |
