Blazer Day

Well not the Portland Trailblazers, our S-10 Blazer. I spent the better part of the day under it.


I got the right half shaft disconnected and the noise was still there. So I pulled the axle shaft out of the front differential. No problem with it, turns out the problem is with the vacuum actuator for engaging 4 wheel drive. Of course it is located under the battery box, so the battery has to be pulled along with the box. With any luck, I can get one tomorrow and start putting it back together.

Here is a picture of the Eurofighter I have been working on. The nozzles in the rear swivel to direct the thrust so it will do some wild maneuvers. It is made of foam, so I am putting fiber glass over it to make it more dent resistant. I went out and did the bottom of one wing tonight after I quit on the Blazer.

The knee held up pretty well to all the up and down to the creeper and going for tools. I swear by the time I am done, all my tools will be out there. Standing up doing the fiber glassing bothered the knee more than anything else I did today. The doctor was right again, at one of my visits he said standing was the hardest thing on it. I didn't see how that could be since it is not getting moved much, but it sure is.
Hope your day went good and nothing broke down on you.
