Where did you come up with that nonsense? There are literally millions of vehicles since the 80's with roller lifters driven in traffic.

Welcome to FBBO from the Portland area.

The bearing cage is not really a precision manufactured piece and is made from a lot softer steel than a bearing roller. Sure, you could buy another bearing and outer race, or you could just take a screwdriver and bend the cage back into position.

The inner casting not being concentric from side to side is not unusual for a cast part and not a problem. The bores for the races being machined on the same plane is all you need to be concerned about. The tech was a bit of a hack, but that bent roller cage isn't something that's going to cause...

Nice score! I was looking at those to replace my TTI's. Let me know how those fit.

I've had a cheap HF 3500 pound ATV winch in my enclosed trailer for several years and it seems to pull anything into the trailer without any problems. It's setup for the wired remote but I pretty much always use the wireless remote.

This is what the jig looked like that was built for my GTX.

We got a little carried away on mine and replaced the back half, rear frame rails and the front floor since it had a big hole hacked in it for a four speed. A jig will be more accurate than using a lift.

My body guy built a jig out of steel tubing that clamps the body at the pinch welds so my car wasn't tying up the shop frame rack when he did the panel replacements on my GTX. He hung the targets and used a Chief EZ Liner. Are you looking to build something like that?

Welcome.....from Hillsboro, Oregon.

If those are the original parts, just match them up at the broken spot welds and reweld them.

Looks like an article from the Babylon Bee.

You can charge an A/C system either as a liquid or a gas. Engine running or stopped. Of course, it does make a difference which side of the compressor you're putting the freon in as a liquid or gas.

I've used the 80 mil Kilmat and 4 mm Siless closed cell foam insulation from Amazon in a couple of my cars with good results.
