<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Last weekend it suddenly occurred to me (I had taken a break from the rod bearing job to do other things on the car, and work on my Fiat) that I did not have to entirely remove the RHS axle to get to the one
upper oil pan bolt - all I appeared to need to do was unbolt the center support bearing from the block and let it drop down a couple of inches, or however far it will fall. Doy! Can someone confirm this? I'll test it the next time I have time to do car work.<br>
<br>
Two other things:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">1) Eventually I am going to fire the car up again. The gas that is in the car is rather old by now. The car was run once to back it out of the garage and pull in facing nose-out before tearing it down, but otherwise
the last time the car ran the gas was fresh. Am I well-advised to drain the tank and refill with fresh gas, or can I pour something in there (will stabilizer do any good now?) or will I be OK just firing it up and fillin the rest of the tank with new gas?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2)My rear brake calipers need rebuilding. I have an OE rebuild kit, and also a spare set of calipers (I'm not sure if these need rebuilding, but I should assume they do.) I am aware that rebuilding rears is something of a PITA compared
to doing the fronts (presumably because of the handbrake mechanism), so getting remans at the part store is certainly easier, but are good-quality remans still available? I'd rather rebuild the originals (I'd strip and refinish them, too) then put remans in
if there is a big differnce in quality.<br>
