Stripping - tips and tricks
Well - i've decided to go for a job as a stripper ....... only joking!!!!!!!!
Now your all disgusted by that thought - anyone got any tips or advice on stripping the sierra. Number one job I understand is to loosen the driveshaft nuts. Any more things to watch out for/do early on etc befoe i get it on the axle stands? Cheers Dave |
Dont be gentle...

I hope that's with regard to the sierra :p
|
hack the car to bits more fun lol

No just a good motto to live by! (for us farmer types):D

Apart from the rear driveshaft nuts it is quite a straight forward job :)
I expect you probably know but for the benefit of any newbies that may read this at a later date. One of the rear driveshaft nuts, has a left hand thread, this can be identified by a small notch cut into the corners of the nut. ;) Go easy on the rear subframe mounting bolts, If they start to get tight, wind them back in & try to get some easing oil on the captive nut. They are a pain in the ass when the captive nut breaks free :eek: It may well pay to be methodical when removing the wiring. I like to use masking tape & a CD marker to lable each item that I disconnect. ( Memory like a sieve ) Good luck with the stripping Dave :) |
Owww - that's a good tip on the left handed thread Ronnie - got the windy gun ready to go so that could have confused me for a while :D
Sorted the garage out today, chassis is leaning up against the wall and just use the space to do the oil on a mates focus (I now look like i've been working on an oil rig!) Saturday is the big day - Fire up the Sierra! |

have fun stripping it, & look forward to the time when you start putting it all back together again :cool: andy |
Also worth putting an add on ebay for the parts you don't need. A few small bits of trim here and there can make it a break even.

if you get this months complete kit car there is a guide for stripping the sierra aimed at the haynes ;)
