I know this video is 4 years old and I hope you see this. You just saved me 25.00 and a trip to Summit Racing tomorrow. I tried stronger magnets, PB Blaster, a pick hook set which would grab them easy but still not get them out. I was about to buy a 25.00 tool after work tomorrow but went on KZbin and saw this video. I had a can of brake parts cleaner. Soaked them, let sit for 5 minutes. Grabbed with the pick and worked back and forth. Half hour later they were all out of the block. Thank you!!!

@michaelcoffin43642 жыл бұрын
No, they will not work with a lift due to ball joint angle. Ball joint angle on these is improved over stock for a lowered car. So lifting it would make the angles actually worse than stock.

When you say, “change out the front half of the diff”, is it just changing out the CV Axle Shaft for the Bravada’s CV Axel Shaft?
@michaelcoffin43642 жыл бұрын
Thomas, sorry for not making it clear in the video. The frint half is referring to the passenger side half of the front diff housing. It's referenced in manuals and by GM as an extension housing I believe. So the housing and the appropriate axle will need to be swapped in. Should be 3 bolts on the axle housing and 2 bolts that hold it to the frame.

@michaelcoffin43642 жыл бұрын
I like how you think. However I wouldn't do break cleaner. It will break the oil down causing major damage to the engine. This is why it's crutial to change the oil after doing it the way I showed. If you want to try and remove this before working on the engine, something like seafoam or restore. You may try some hot shots secret stiction eliminator. I've hear it does well but never used it myself.

Draining a couple quarts of oil out then topping off with new transmission fluid would do wonders, it has detergents in it that will wash out a lot of sludge and carbon buildup, really bad and un-maintained engines may need it done a few times before filling up with just oil.

It was done and my daily driver for a couple years before this video. After the video was taken, the engine was refurbished. At which time I noticed the frame was cracked again through an old repair. I made the decision then to donate the bare chassis/body to the local tech center so they can teach kids frame repair with a body on frame vehicle. At the time they only had unibody vehicles. I still have the AWD setup and plan to use it in a future project.

If they have that crap on the outside, you should disassemble them and clean them out then soak in fresh oil and reinstall. I just did this, and soaked them in solvent. You wont believe the amount of shit that comes out of the inside. Because they are roller lifters, you don't have to put them back in the same holes either. But really clean the crap out of the inside too! Then they won't collapse on you.

@michaelcoffin43643 жыл бұрын
You are still required to remove the heads in order to get the lifters out. This tech tip is for when you are replacing them, not just freeing them for movement. If you need them freed up for movement, you have way worse problems than just a stuck lifter. Also, WD-40 won't dissolve the wax deposit stuck to the base of the lifter from cheap oil.
