I left the UK in the mid 80's and we used to get snow, north of London pretty much every year

The Blazer work continues. I want to change the rear flexible brake hose. I was able to crack the main front to back pipe loose where it joins the flexible hose, near the rear axle. The other end of the flexible hose is bracketed to the diff and has two steel pipes going to each of the two drum...

I got the front disc, caliper, pads and brake hose installed this morning. I would have done it yesterday but I was clearing brush wood from a fence line first thing yesterday morning and I was attacked by yellow jackets. I got stung on the ear and it made me feel dizzy and nauseus. I decided to...

Not a lucky day..."Mama told me that there would be days like this" I hope it goes better for you tomorrow

I made some good progress on the Blazer today. The rear wheel cylinder came out very easily and I was able to get 3 coats of POR on the backplate. I will get a top coat on the backside of the backplate to protect it from UV in about 3 hours. I fitted a new grease seal to the front steering...

I installed the slave cylinder and rear brake shoes on one side of the Blazer this morning. The guy in the youtube video installs them in minutes. It took me a lot lot longer then that. Hopefully the other side will go faster but I need to remove the slave cylinder and paint the inner face...

Where did you get the tire rack from ?....that looks like something I could add to my barn and get some more floor space back

A rainy day and good for assembling the passenger front side of the Blazer. I hope the balljoint for the other side will arrive later today.

Yes I found that the Delco rear flexible hose was cheaper on Amazon than it was in the NAPA store.

Andersen24 got me all fired up ! After seeing his layout, I bought some socket organizers like in his photos and on Saturday I am going to get the US General 72 inch rolling tool cabinet. I will retire the wooden sideboard tool holder! It will be nice to be able to find my tools without a...

That is a very nice car and what a wonderful gift. I hope you get to drive it for many years.

I removed one of the rear brake cylinders on my 1989 Blazer this morning. They use a spring clip to hold them in place. I am glad that I bought the removal tool. You can wrestle with a pair of screwdrivers while you try to pull the cylinder off. I didn't want to do that again !

I was going to replace the front lower ball joints on my 1989 S10 Blazer 4wd but the new parts from NAPA wouldn't fit. The new joints have a higher profile dome which fouls the dome space on the suspension arm. I guess people cut the dome off the suspension arm. I found these Delco ball joints...

I removed the fluid impregnated brake shoes and hardware and degreased the backplate and fittings. I took the MG out for a quick run as well

I may be the 3rd owner of this Blazer. I bought it 20 years ago from a friend who had had it forever. Recently the caliper stuck on and the front cv joint boot was also ripped so I have all that front side stripped out now. I am replacing the caliper and brake hoses on both front sides, the...

Still working on my 1989 S10 Blazer front suspension and rear brakes. Yesterday my new Esco jack stands arrived. They are a lot more stable than the V mounting type. Today I spent quite a bit of time getting the new Bilstein front shocks to fit. They seem to make the inner steel part of the...

Replacing both the front shocks, one drive shaft, both brake hoses and both calipers on my 89 Blazer and washed the MG

That is something to think about..I will add a kill switch

I am working on my Kubota L4200 tractor. It had a leaky steering actuator. and to get it out I had to strip out most of the front of the tractor icluding the radiator and body panels. Since it is in pieces I decided to adjust the valve clearances. They should have been done at 1000 hours and I...

Mine is hand operated and no problem to lift my vehicles
