    Front wheel bearings

    Wondering if anyone has insights in removing the races on the front hubs of an 87 Fifth. I had to beat the outer race out. The inner race fits flush with the hub, no lip to catch a drift on. Been trying a few other things, but it does not seem to move and I am chewing up the hub. Just wondering...

    Gas smell

    Thanks to this site and assistance from folks my 87 Fifth runs great with Electronic Spark and original carb in place. However, I now smell raw gas, and in the area of the charcoal canister, especially after shut off. I checked for vacuum on the hose at the top of the canister with the engine...

    Cruise control issue

    Having an issue with my cruise control on 87 Fifth. Car has not been driven much for at least the last two years. I have used the cruise in the past and it seemed to work fine.

I read an earlier discussion on oil pan removal. Since the Y-pipe and all was just removed and put back up that...

    Exhaust pipe removal

    I am going to need to drop the exhaust crossover pipe on my 87 fifth. 94K and sure looks original to me. The cats sure seem to be in the way, especially on the right side. I have soaked the bolts and nuts with Blaster as well as I can. They are not easily accessible, at least to me. I hope...

    Glad to have found the site.

    Got a link for this site from another and happy to join another group of M Body fans. I have wanted a Fifth Avenue for some time. Saw this one on Craigslist three months ago and found my car. I like the color and the fact it has the standard wheelcovers, which I think look great. It has not been...
