What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Replaced passenger side wheel bearing.

Attachment 31921

I hate it when my balls are showing. :umm:

Driving is way smoother now. My steering wheel is not shaking that much anymore. I did not do the rear bearings yet. I think that I will have to disconnect the breaks to get the wheel hub out and that was a project I was not willing to do today.

But I got to my final drive. Replaced O-rings and seals of the axle shafts and put a speed sleeve on each axle flange. Also replaced the copper washers of the drain and filler plug and refilled the final drive. I hope that this took care of my leaky final drive, but we will see.

Oh, and noticed that my blower in the car seems to hit something so it is really getting loud when you switch to fan setting 2 (it was really cold so I got the heater going). This is an other project I am not looking forward to. I have the feeling that I will have to take the dash apart to get to the heater and blower.

Volker - the blower is accessible from the passenger footwell. Drops out in 5 min!

Some debris may have migrated towards the fan.

A minute late on this reply, so

+1 on Dave's note.

The flub-dub or ticking fan noise isn't uncommon. A new fan motor did wonders for ours a long time ago. Your noise source may vary....

Cool, I did not know. I just noticed it and I also think that there is some debris in there. I will put this on my winter projects list and read up on how to remove the blower.

Thank you and Rich!

Sunday evening:
Replaced angle drive, speedo works great now
Installed DMCH LEDs to doors, engine bay, trunk, interior
Replaced missing passenger front lower fender brace. Not idea why it was missing but replacement went on easily.

That reminds me that I forgot something from my entry yesterday:

Lubed up angle drive interior with 80W90 to get rid of a squeeking, and lubed the steering U-joints to improve on steering quality, as recommended by Toby from DMCNW.

Drove the car over the weekend and experienced the fuel pickup hose collapsing as she sat in traffic with the heat and themos blowing hot air constantly onto the tank.

Not a pretty noise. Stalled on the way home which wasn't fun either.

Was recommended to install a SS spring in the tube to pretty further collapse if I am sill wanting to drive throughout the summer months.

Hehe, I had to check your location to really get that. -8 degrees Celsius in Vancouver, BC and that is really cold here (not comparable to Calgary or Red Deer with -20 and lower).

I hope you can get this issue resolved with the spring and have a great summer down under!

LOL! Yeah, we are literally on opposite ends of the planet!

Will get it resolved, I try not to drive the car in the heat anyway. Just on that day, I was requested to do charity joy rides for kids with cancer, so the car was like a taxi for a few hours which did not help with the temperature building up in the tank.
