Disclaimer: While the procedures and techniques mentioned in articles herein have been provided by sources deemed reliable, you are advised that caution should be exercised before undertaking any of these repairs on your vehicle. Time saving short cuts may make certain repairs easier and quicker, but they may also cause irreversible damage to your vehicle. Make sure you understand what's involved before you begin, and always use caution when working on your car. Disconnect the battery ground cable (for negative grounded systems) before doing any work around electrical wiring or components, and never crawl under a car unless it's supported properly (jacks alone are NOT safe). Block wheels to prevent vehicle from moving. Make sure others know what you're doing, and ask them to check on you periodically. Work in a well ventilated area. Be safe so you can enjoy your classic car tomorrow!
