Sponge Bob's swap

No - I totally agree - seems like a pretty good idea to just run them off the fuel pump circuit - although saying that, are the fans designed to run such high loads - how long would they last before burning them out by running constantly?

[Paul Woods]

no i think they will be fine,mine ran for years...even if they did burn out they are ten a penny...you will have to do a huge modification though!!!



Pull the 15amp EFI fuse out and stick a 20amp in.....told you it was a huge mod! :)

[Sponge Bob]

Er - we don't all have dedicated MR2 workspace and the right tools for these jobs!!

This sounds like a job for the A-Team...

[Sponge Bob]

Having problems!!! Can't get this lock nut off...

The original lock-nut remover isn't available, and on top of that - I got a Halfraud's locknut remover which won't work as the wider part fouls on the alloy...

How can I get these off without grinding the offending bit of alloy away??

[mart1975]

ive got one of these and im sure its the same. i will double check though

[adamh]

few ways to do it.

first..its not a thin metal cover is it?. (just checking).

i can turn down your lock nut tool if the diameter is too large to fit into alloy hole.

^get mart to send his tool

[Paul Woods]

none of them are the same,get an old socket and smack it over the top of the locknut so it bites into it,the socket+nut can then be removed.

[mart1975]

yeh just found it, mine have four leaves. sorry

[Sponge Bob]

Cheers anyway Mart - i'll try smacking an old socket on and see what happens... If that doesn't work then I may have to take up your kind offer Adam!!

[Marksman]

Or lop the end off and old extension bar, weld it to the nut and twist!

Cheers,

Owen.
