Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for the info guys! vettebob

Hi, New Vette owner... I have a factory service manual ordered, in the meantime all I have to rely on are a Haynes and a Chilton manual. Neither one say a thing about wheel bearing service other than removal and re-installation. Are all the wheel bearings (front and rear) on the 1987...

Good info, thanks! Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it and hope I can reciprocate some day. vettebob

I live in the desert southwest, and do not want my car running at 230 plus degrees. They can talk all they want about this being good for engine wear, but I am a mechanic with 40 years experience, and I'm not buying it. It is all for smog purposes, and besides, at 230 you only have a very small...

Well, thanks for all the myriad answers. I knew people were going to have to jump in with comments about R-134. I have access to Dupont R-12, and that is what I want to use. Would the pressure switch have been changed when the system was converted, or just the "O" rings and orifice tube?? (and...

Hi, Just bought a 1987 Corvette and the owner had converted the A/C to R-134. I want to convert it back to R-12. I have gauges, vacuum pump, and access to R-12. Can anyone outline the process to convert this car back to the original R-12?? Please, I know there is a huge controversy about...
