Subject: Fuel Filter What are the steps, precautions, and pains for replacing the fuel filter on a 92 E-350 (Gas.) Any special tools required. I get the impression that even my mechanic does not really like to replace them.

Subject: Rear Axle rebuild I am running an 84 Bronco II with a limited slip rear axle. However, I am getting an increasing amount of vibration from the rear. Due to the mileage on the axle (122,000), I would like to replace the clutch disks in the rear end, replace the axle shaft bearings and seals, and keep the rig on the road. My son will be driving in a few more months, and prefer him to learn with the BII instead of Mom's new van. I have seen several places advertising rebuid kits for rear axles in the magazines and on the net. How difficult is it to rebuild a rear end using one of these kits, or just to replace the disk packs in the rear end? I have a fair amount of mechanical experience, having rebuilt several engines, and a number of other mechanical prjects. Chuck ------------------------------ From: "big red" <big_red_59 hotmail.com>
Subject: power steering Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 06:30:54 Quick question for whom ever knows the answer. Since I misplaced my Haynes (and it probably wouldn't tell me anyways) I am in need of some technical advice. My 87 F-150 5.0 is having a major corrective steering problem. I rebuilt the gear box recently and for some reason or other I took out the screw and nut assembly on the top of the box during disassembly. I am assuming that it is for adjusting the play in the steering wheel to some extent. Now I am constantly going back and forth (a decent amount of wheel travel is invovled)with the wheel to keep it straight. It has never been this bad. Anyways, If infact this screw will help me out, how far is too far for the screw to be in. Will it harm anything if I screw it in too much? Thanks and merry x-mas. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 04:52:27 -0500 From: Ken Payne <kpayne ford-trucks.com>

Subject: Re: power steering Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 08:08:47 -0600 The screw and nut adjust the preload on the internal gearing in the steering box. There is an in-depth procedure for this adjustment requiring removal of the steering wheel. When the wheel is removed, you use a torque wrench to measure the amount of torque required to turn the steering shaft w/wheels off the ground. I could scan the instructions from my Ford manual with the details. Mail me off-list if you want these. Terence Underwood terenceu1 prodigy.net

Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 14:30:01 EST Subject: Re: power steering Yes you can tighten the screw for the preload. It will help some. However this is not always the problem with the steering. By tightening the screw you are just postponing the inevitable if the box is worn. Check the shaft coupling carefully. You will probably find alot of play in it. This is very common and replacement is the only cure. If you can not find a Ford replacement (hard to find) Borgsen (sp?) sells a replacement. They advertise in most truck mags. Also check the toe in/toe out of the tires. My 90 Bronco runs 31X10.50. A neutral toe in causes the truck to wander all over the road. The truck seems to require some outward pressure on the tires to track properly. Finally you did not state how many miles the truck has. The steering box eventually does wear out. This would be a case where I would not trust a junk yard part, unless it was a LOW mileage truck. Go for a rebuild. ------------------------------ From: "Terence Underwood" <terenceu1 prodigy.net>
