Axle oil seals

For those that have removed the axle oil seals from the housing - can you please share how this was performed?i purchased an seal puller (2 hooks) but its clear that that won't work - the seals are in there too snug.

Thanks,

Re: Need help with coolant temp sensor

what totta said above - if you took the engine out did you burp the coolant/radiator and have the car somewhat angled up on jacks or on drive way to assist with getting the air up and out? air pockets may prevent coolant from properly reaching the temp sensor and hence the ecu may not be getting a c...

Some GTS' however came with cruise control, so the throttle cable was actually shorter since it went to the cruise control pump and then from there a cable went to the throttle body itself so only the lengt...

The bracket you posted up top (on the left) - that supports the brake booster vacuum hose to the firewall since the hose needs to go from the booster all the way around to the TVIS.
