    Default Got some work done on the ej1 this weekend

    Well finally decided to tear into my steering problems this weekend (stupid rain). Inner tierods were bad ( expected on a 260,000 mile car) and had a ton of oil leaks. Started off with the vtec solenoid gaskets ( one leak down). Second leak was the oil pan gasket, had the original gasket on the pan.
    This is what it looked like when i finally got it off (HARD AS A ROCK, no wonder it leaked).
    After that i dove into takeing out the steering rack. After alot of cursing and busted fingers i got it out.

    The bad tierod

    All of my oem parts for the rebuild (new inner and outer tierods etc.)

    Now i have to wait for my tie rod end boots to come in.
    While i had the interior out i decided to clean my oem floor mats.
    Before:
    After:
    Just thought i would share my boring weekend!
