I'm thinking about doing the same thing you did. Is it broken down by one tm per binder?

That's not bad considering the amount of printing needed. I need to find a good print shop up here and get that done

Good time to replace the defrost hoses if they are crusty.
This is a good shot of the slot that allows the steering column to move up and down...

Brings a question to mind. Any one replace the thin defrost/heater hose with something sturdier?

Yes, with this stuff when I upgraded to my MRAP heater and added rear heat.
I had some extra hose and decided to replace the defroster duct with it. Only problem is it is too big to use to upgrade the floor heater ducting which is, I believe, 1.5" hose. It was a pain to get it through some of the openings the original ducting is made for since it is such heavy rubber but, it will fit with some effort.
No need to ever worry about it rotting again.

The hoses in the picture are all new!
The hoses I replaced had like 10 separations/splits...

So.......I purchased a replacement front tie rod assembly. One tie rod end popped loose with minimal effort, but the other tie rod stud spins with the nut. GRRR, any suggestions?

AutoZone or oreilly in the loaner tools have a tie rod fork. That wedged tightly should tighten the ball socket enough to get the nut off or it will need to be cut off.

If it's on the spindle side -- put a floorjack under it( tie rod end) and put pressure on it. You should be able to zip it off with your air gun now. #2 cut the nut off with cutoff wheel/grinder.#3 flamewrench
I think the tie rod end bolts in from the top -- so the floorjack thing wont work. You could try a prybar on it/while appling air gun

Tie rod assembly removed and replaced. I had a tie rod separator fork but no amount of pressure this old man could apply was adequate to keep the bolt from turning, so grinding wheel saved the day. On to the next task ( long list to go) Thank for the tips Gentlemen

Upon inspection, the dust boot on one of the tie rods ends was partially missing, and there was "play" on that same tie rod end, so I replaced the entire assembly . The idler arm, pitman arm, and other steering components seem to be in good shape
