I think I remember you mentioning a right angle drill in the past, Justice. I'm certainly not against buying one.

I've never used an ez-out. Any tips would be appreciated, tools recommended, anything.

I have had a nasty oil leak at the crank since I have had it, Just got worse over time. That makes me think more about doing a timing belt service and replacing everything up front right now.

What do I need to know about replacing the front crank seal? Monte3 had it replaced twice and it still leaks. More likely to be a scratched crank or improper seating, or is it both...?

Dylan has the line on the Thread-Sert things he's run for 40+K now after having his threads all wallowed out from a loose bolt (also a '95 SR). That gives me some reassurance in case of, well, worst case, where my threads are toast, too.

So, we'll see. Luckily I don't DD the truck. But it would be nice to have ready.
