At the shop during Winter Break
A good portion of Friday, January 4th was spent working on the Lemans, despite the fact that school was out for winter break. The distributer on the car was loose, so we secured it with a distributer clamp that fit (after being modified a bit). We then spent a lot of time trying to take off the nut holding down a pulley on another power steering pump so we could put the pulley on ours. Having been told that the nut was reverse threaded, we spent many fruitless minutes trying to take it off, but it wouldn't so much as budge. We went out to lunch and when we returned, Dr. Knight informed us that the nut had not in fact been reverse threaded, and that he had taken it off with an impact gun. A little bit annoyed, but glad that the nut was off, we set to work taking off the pulley. The pulley was eventually taken off with the help of a few pry bars. We put the pulley on our power steering pump but found that it didn't line up correctly with the other pulleys. It was at this point that we all needed to go home, so we decided we would deal with this problem another day.
