Technical / Authenticity / Re: 1976 Sedan Deville Steerin...

Last post by bcroe - Today at 10:03:29 PM

1976 Sedan Deville Steering Gear is leaking.  I have read the removal procedure in the SM.  Questions:  Would it be easier to remove the pitman arm from the center link vs. the steering gear?  Secondly, which bolts do I remove from the rag joint?  Is the steering gear difficult to remove for a person working on his back on the floor?  Thanks!

I find it quite difficult to remove the pitman arm
from the steering gear.  There is a bolt perpendicular
to the shaft to pull, then the rag joint can be slid
back from the gear.  good luck, Bruce Roe

If it is the same as 1972 Eldorado, then I have lots of pictures, but lets see if it is the same first before posting them.

G'day Chris,

Welcome to the CLC Club.   I have started up a new thread for you, as sometimes we don't need to bring up matters from the grave, and your question is a different one.

Someone should come in, but I don't think it is possible to leave the water pump in place.

Bruce.

Technical / Authenticity / 1961 wiper arm removal

Last post by MidModCad - Today at 09:19:16 PM

Is there a way to remove wiper arms on a '61 coupe without using the special tool?  Saw a couple of youtubes where people leveraged with screwdrivers, but their cars weren't Caddys.  If not, is the tool the same commonly available one seen everywhere?  Thanks.

That's it, huh?  I was going to sand, epoxy prime and surface prime before shooting. I redid those narrow black dashboard panels a few years ago, which are over chrome, and used etching primer before painting.  Worked great, but then they aren't exposed to the elements.

Welding a breather hole shut has the potential to blow out any of the axle seals or pinion seal.
