    Camshaft gear removal

    Hello Fellas, I need to remove my cam shaft gear to get to the back plate to fix a leak. Can this be done without removing the cam shaft ? I need to do this because if I remove the cam I will need to remove the AC radiator that means letting my gas out that I don't want to do. Thanks, Rique

    Bonk to the left Bonk to the right

    Every time I take a sharp turn to the left or right I hear a bonk sound as if I had something loose in the rear end. I'm guessing the 4 bottom bolts that fasten the springs are not tight enough and letting the rear swing loose. I will tighten them with my impact wrench... what is the max...
