This job here was a bottom ball joint on a 89 FORD 1\2 Ton

I found that this ball joint job took a lot longer than a ball joint
job on a 89 Chev 1\2 Ton because of the fact that you had to
remove the entire spindle and tie rod assembly's instead of pulling
it out of the way.

This picture here was taken before I replaced the top ball joint
on an 89 Chev 1\2 Ton

I found this job was pretty straight forward.  As you can see this
ball joint has never been replaced because it is riveted in.
 

This is a picture of a 93 FORD 1\2 Ton front brake assembly.

In this picture you can see that I have replaced the calipers
for the reason that the old ones where seized and have installed
new shoes and have machined the old rotors.
 

This is the same 93 Ford 1\2 Ton, This is the rear brake assembly

In this photo you can see that I have replaced the rear drums for the
reason that the old ones where oversized, installed new shoes and
have also rebuilt the old wheel cylinders.
 

This is a CV axle out of a Nissan Pulsar, it had ripped CV boots

This was the first set of CV boots that I've done.  I found that it
was pretty simple once you got the CV axle out from the car.  I
also found that it is cheaper if you find stuff like this before sand
and road debris enter the joint and destroy it.
 

This is a photo of a 91 Chevy Lumina, with a lack of power complaint.

This photo was taken after I vacuumed out about 3\4 of the dog food
out of the air box.  It seems the mice stockpiled for the winter.
 

This was an in class assignment where we had to tear down
an engine to it's block plastigauge 1 rod and 1 main, remove
1 piston and 1 set of valves and assemble the engine again.
 

This is 1 of our instructors vehicles, on start up it smoked black.

This is a 650 Edelbrock carb,  I removed the top of it and adjusted
the float level.  It solved the black smoke on startup.
 

This is the same instructors vehicle.  It had a nasty coolant leak.

The original O-ring that came with the thermostat housing was
deteriorated,  No O-rings where available so a little silicone solved
the problem.
 

This here is my car.  It was running rough and backfiring.

The smoke test machine was very helpful in finding my EGR
Valve leak.  The backfire was from the air pump pumping
oxygen into the exhaust system with no catalytic converter.

This is an 84 toyota tercel, the engine was making a lot of
ticking noise,so we adjusted the valve lash.
