Yeah, I'm on the verge of limping it to the local shop... I'm not quite ready to admit defeat yet though. Gonna try a torch tonight. Might just try a sharp cold chisel and try to cut between the nut and the frame.

Both are very stuck... the nut won't turn at all. The ball joint moves freely, so there will be that issue when I get to the point I can turn the nut, but they are both seized to the brackets. I cut the lower one off at the ball joint and tried to pound it out, but to no avail.

I'm having trouble getting any power tools in there, so the drill and impact aren't playing along right now.

I'm wondering if a dremel multimax could cut it off at the nut, then try and get a few good hits with a BFH, or if the nuts/bolt are too hardened for one of those guys to work.

Haha... I tried beating the shit out of a long handled breaker bar with a 3 pound hammer... nothing.

I'm trying to change the sway bar linkage and the nut holding it on is REALLY well seized up. I've tried liquid wrench, a breaker bar, a grinder, a dremel, and a nut splitter... nothing is effing working. (can;t get it to turn at all, can't get into the little recess well enough with a grinder, can'...

I've always used a soft brass brush to clean off and polish up chrome... not sure if it will scratch aluminum or not, but it works like a charm for removing corrosion. You can get them at Canadian Tire... they look like little brass toothbrushes. I was nervous as hell at first because I thought it w...

Thanks for the tips psilosin... will try that this week and see if I can isolate where it's happening.

Okay, I'm thinking its not the glow plugs now. I got out the trusty multimeter yesterday and traces as much as I easily could. I get power from the negative terminal of the battery to the fusible link, and I get power from the fusible link to the power input on the relay. This is where I get a bit s...

lopar - what consequences? You make it sound like they will damage the engine. I'm not convinced that spending $200 a glow plug is more economical than spending 100 - 150 for a set of 4. I could literally by 6 entire sets for the cost of one mitsubishi. The second link (ADL-Blueprint) have a 1 year ...

The standard... rough starts when its cold... injectors are good and recently cleaned, battery is strong. Starts great if I plug it in. Gonna check the plugs this weekend and see if I need new ones (or a connector plate).

Just exploring different options for replacement parts.

I've done a lot of reading of glow plug threads for the L400 (whatever I could find) and have started hunting around as I think I might have a glow plug issue. I've been finding some parts cheaper from England and Australia on ebay.co.uk and came across a few sets of plugs: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...

I've used two, got them both at Canadian Tire... one came in a bingo dauber type applicator and was for windows... it was a bit hard to wash off. The other was a 'spray paint' that was sort of a chalk. I had it on my old valiant for about 3 weeks and with a bit of elbow grease washed off with no ill...

The stupid plastic coolant bleed screw broke on my L400. I got it out and have a metal one in there right now (BTW, its an M12 x 1.5 if anyone needs a plug), but I'm worried the metal/plastic interface won't be a good solution. Can the expansion of the metal screw damage the plastic housing? I've tr...

The cap on my bleed screw just snapped off and now it's leaking. Is it safe to replace it with a metal one until we can get a new plastic?

What's the ballpark cost on them?
