    need vin decoder help

    Tell ya what I did when I had my seats out and they were dirty. I removed the seat covers, ran them through the washing machine and reattached them with zip tyes. Sounds crazy but they looked like new. Ok like new but still worn. It's a pretty easy project.

    Removing stock exhaust manifold studs

    P B Blaster is without a doubt the best. I sprayed mine everyday for a few days. Then before I tried to remove them I gave them a good solid "wap" with a hammer. They all came out, but take it slow and easy.
