    DII starter problems?

    Valve cover gasket

    Does anyone have any tips on changing the valve cover gaskets on a 99.5 DII? I loosened the two bolts I could see yesterday just to see what all would be involved(I didn't have time to actually perform the job) but there seems to be something unseen holding it down on the engine side.

    Time for new brake pads

    I had my wife as the second body, maybe my problem. I had her pump the brakes 3-4 times and hold it the last time. I would open the valve until fluid squirted out then close the valve and tell her to let off. After 4 trys I had to stop b/c I ran out of brake fluid to top with.

    Time for new brake pads

    I changed front pads and back pads and rotors, I mangled that screw. I have bled the brakes 4 times and yet still the peddle goes all the way to the floor. I did them back passenger, back driver, front passenger, front driver. Where am I going wrong?

    Time for new brake pads

    I am going to change my 99 DII pads this weekend and was wandering if there is anything I should look out for in advance. Do I need any special tools and can I pick up pads at a parts store or should I order them online?

    Programming a key

    I went by a place today to see if they could program a DII key for me and they said yes for $75. What are they going to due for that kind of money. Do they just use some kind of software or something? Thanks, Mark

    DIY 60k Service Complete - A few Thoughts

    Plug wires I changed my plug wires one at time b/c after getting the first one off I was worried I might not be able to it back on, very frustrating. Took a week for knuckles to heal, I still have to do #7. I wish that coupon didn't say "Void if copied".
