Very nicely done. Straight and to the point without someone rambling on and on. Thanks for sharing!

[@Dolla_saUce]

What I appreciate about this video is that you didn't waste my time telling me your life story, what your friends are doing, what I'm gonna want to do, how your dog is... Like a lot of the other comments say, to the point, unlike my comment but that's intentional for effect😎👍

[@J2A61]

Man you have to be the best tutorial maker on KZbin!! Enough said....👍👍

[@alexanderspenser4960]

Best training video I've seen for the 3rd gen.

[@Tricolor610]

Thanks for the video, ….. Next Step for me … will change the oil pump.., on my IROC … Greeting from Germany

[@kirkdecker6228]

Right on! A big THANK YOU for this. You make it look so easy.

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

Awesome. Just what I needed to know for my 85.

[@checkitTV]

Excellent quality video. Thank you!

[@davidlsteinwinderii3331]

Good video, made it look easy.

[@PCB-Designer]

Thanks for the excellent video. I will be doing the same on my 87 Camaro. I want to clean and paint the cross member so it looks better.

[@dwaynejohnson1159]

Great video. Short and to the point. I am looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work!

[@3rdGenGuy]

thanks I've been trying to get another video out, but life is crazy.

[@Cbze]

Damn!! Straight A++++ Video!! Very very great video. Would you please do one on Door pin replacement?? I want to see the techniques you would personally use to get the front fender off without taking off the front bumper etc, simplest way possible. Thanks for the video, keep making them!

[@Cbze]

Also, how many Ft Lbs does that little impact you're using, have?

[@3rdGenGuy]

well unfortunately you probably won't see that video. the front end of this 92 was repainted 6 months ago so i have no reason to take fenders off

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

hood off,hood hinges off,all bolts right and left along were the hinges are off (from nose to end of fender) ,1 bolt on each side under rear of fender / below car(usually were people incorrectly jack up the car) 2 bolts per side behind the plastic inner wheel well covers attaching the ground effects,front lower ground effects need removed right and left and three bolts per side attaching fender to nose,thats it slide fender towards rear of the car carefully

I used to be into GM. thanks for the memories.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

ive owned 20 cars from many different car makers,im still into gm.i also like some ford and mopar vehicles. just because you buy a new car doesn't mean you stop liking what you like,thats kind of moronic.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

as long as you dont get into shit-par

[@nullwii]

there was a 5th brake line bolt on my 91 just behind the two on the far right of the image

[@LT3D]

Did you have to remove the y-pipe? That's also running across the pan beside the crossmember.

[@3rdGenGuy]

it's been so long I don't remember.

[@LT3D]

@@3rdGenGuy all good. I'll find out soon enough lol.

[@panchrod9127]

Awesome detail

[@MotorScotti]

Really good tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I was just looking at how to remove the suspension and steering set up, as I'm currently restoring my Firebird! Can you recommend a brand for all of the joints (Ball joints etc.) ACDelco only or anything else? Thanks

[@3rdGenGuy]

these vidoes cover the steering stuff kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-pe4WLZ8d-bMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6iqZJxseq-Bh68 the ONLY balljoints you should use are the QA1 (1210-209P) www.summitracing.com/parts/qa1-1210-209p these joints are WAY better than the stock AC delco ones and offer MUCH better handling. they raise the front roll center by 1/2in, 3rd gens benefit from this by a LOT! the joint is also rebuildable and like $20 more than the AC delco one. BUT they will lower the front of your car my 1/2in (without messing up the geometry) keep that in mind.

[@wayne2160]

MotorScotti moog is good stuff

[@77cuti]

Thanks for the info, now to work i go!

[@cyrilbekoe7413]

This is an amazing video. Why did you change the K Arm? My Z28 has had all suspension parts changed except the K or cross member. The suspension is very noisy, rattles and every bump is noticeable. Will the K arm be part of the issue? Any help would be appreciated. Car drives like there are no shocks, strutts, a pillars etc.

[@3rdGenGuy]

I didn't change anything, I Just removed the suspension for some engine repairs.

[@k-dizz2520]

I need your help again!! I got the stock crossmember out last night and all of the mounting “nuts” inside the frame can be moved around with my finger. Should they be like that??? Or are they supposed to be welded in place inside the frame?? HELP!

[@3rdGenGuy]

ya, the frame nuts are loose. that's normal/

[@k-dizz2520]

@@3rdGenGuy thank god

[@thomaswarren9703]

Great video but I thought I had to compress the coil to remove it. In the other video you had to compress it before it was removed. Does that not have to be done?

[@3rdGenGuy]

you can tie it up and let it pop out. or use a spring compressor. it's unsafe to let the spring pop out, but ya

[@thomaswarren9703]

Works perfectly fine following your steps.

[@a.j.s.8049]

Great video

[@masonrod4042]

best tutorial !

[@Dolla_saUce]

I have a question and hopefully you have the knowledge I'm after. Have you ever shoehorned a gen IV 454 into a 3rd gen Camaro? That's the project I'm currently on. I'm doing a full Spohn suspension swap to start, but my concerns are more fitting everything BESIDES the engine under the hood. It's gonna be carbed as well. I can't seem to find videos of the actual work, just idle or drag passes.

[@3rdGenGuy]

there are a few threads on thirdgen.org on big block swaps. i'm not knowledgeable on the subject.

[@Dougie33]

Any special procedure for re installing that coil spring? Is it just as simple as reverse order from disassembly

[@3rdGenGuy]

my first Video ever covers installing the front springs. it's pretty straight forward

[@Dougie33]

@@3rdGenGuy okay I’ll check it out! Thanks!

[@Dougie33]

@@3rdGenGuy in the other video you used a spring compressor on both the removal and installation, in this videos you used a nylon tie on spring removal, and reason I can’t put the spring back in and compress it with my jack?

[@3rdGenGuy]

@@Dougie33 you can unbolt the A-arm, install the spring and use a jack to compress it up. it can be hard to get the A-arm bolt holes to line up though. i would recommend a face shield if doing that method.

[@Dougie33]

@@3rdGenGuy haha I’ll just buy the tool, I’m not one to take risk with things under pressure! Thanks for the advice!

[@torres427]

Hello. Great video. I am trying to line up new poly motor mounts onto my '92 Camaro. The problem is that the RH will not line up into place. Will the engine leveler bar that you used help me correcting this problem? Thanks in advance for the advice.

[@3rdGenGuy]

SO i had some issues getting the Stock replacement motor mounts in. took 3-4 tries before they lined up. keeping the engine and K-member level helps a lot I bolted the mounts to the K-member and lifted the member up. it's a little different if you are just lifting the engine up.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

make sure the proper mount is on the proper side or it will not work. ps to ps, ds to ds

[@barn5923]

thanks very much

[@MrBlue-ib7oi]

I see you are using adjustable caster/camber plates. Which one do you use or recommend? I have a +camber issue that I can't fix using the stock plates. Would this help?

[@3rdGenGuy]

there's a few options.( i have a video on installing them) 1. HOTPART plates: they are the original and the ones i use. (best price) 2. Detroit speed: their plates are probably the best, but also VERY expensive. they have tons of cool features. 3. UMI has a HOTpart clone mount, but they use 3/4in opening holes, so you need a bushing to use stock struts.

[@MrBlue-ib7oi]

@@3rdGenGuy Thanks! I was just on the hotpart.com website. Do you think this can get me to fix my + camber issue. My shock towers are already to the max toward the engine and I still have +camber.

[@ThomCountryfan]

You don't have to remove the brake line necessarily if you just want to replace the A-arms, right?

[@3rdGenGuy]

the brake lines unbolt from the K-member. you don't have to remove them if you don't want too.

[@ThomCountryfan]

@@3rdGenGuy I mean do I have to remove them at the caliper or can I just leave the caliper supported somewhere nearby? It's just because in another video where they replace the springs, the also remove the brake line.

[@geremychubbuck3730]

Great video as usual. What song did you use as background music? Keep up the great work.

[@3rdGenGuy]

I don't remember, it just FREE NO-Copyright background music

[@geremychubbuck3730]

@@3rdGenGuy ok. Thanks. Keep up the great videos. Your length and format are spot on.

[@ThomCountryfan]

Am I wrong or did you omit the removal of the strut itself?

[@3rdGenGuy]

good catch. strut is removed by removing the two BIG bolts.

[@jdhdhddbdjd7286]

Did u know one for remove all dash

[@3rdGenGuy]

i'm not aware of a video on the complete dash removal. that's a complicated job forsure.

[@knockout818]

Not relevant to the video title, you ever think about swaping to an LS motor. Being that you are in california, i dont know how it plays out with the smog equipment on the car?. Just asking, thanks.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Soooooo i acually have a 6.2L LSA slowly being built for this car I no longer life in Cali, so i don't have to pass smog anymore. i have a video in the making for notching the K-member for an LS swap.

[@Flytofishing]

Uses harbor freight jacks**

[@3rdGenGuy]

no worries, they are the older good design. and I usually have another set under the car as a backup.
