I went and had the decals installed.




I like it they came out nice
Happy HHR_ing

 

Washed cleaned and then for fun watched it rain 3 hours later, ugh!!

 

Yeah chef, an impact gun is needed to undo the center nut, with a hand wrench all you do is spin the rod, piston, and assorted guts in the strut....very frustrating.

Decals look spiffy there kb0sdq!

We've all been there Oldblue, as President Clinton used to say..."I feel your pain".

 

That stinks.....I hate that! Todd (Uma)

 

They all stayed parked today, the antibiotics are slowly winning the battle against the Bronchitis, but a walk from the office to the living room(60 feet)leaves me needing a "good sit down" for a bit.

Being sick sucks, not driving sucks, not driving my HHR's sucks even more, I want my Mommy!

 

installed my complete FE5 suspension on the HHR today. Struts, Springs, Shocks, the whole deal. Off to alignment shop in the morning.

 

UPS delivered the Auto Meter about 7.00 pm so will mount it tommorow too late tonight, will take photo and test it.

 

I used a pair of vise grips, and a 1/2" breaker bar to do my springs when I lowered my SS. I have an impact but its not a very good one, and wouldnt break the nuts loose so I just Improvised and used man power, lol. I clamped the vise grips as tight as I could towards the top of the rod on the strut and layed the strut down on my blacktop driveway and gave the breaker bar the ole heave ho and broke them loose.

 

I got the Auto Meter installed, photo in gallery.

 

Waiting patiently to pick up my SS from my Chevy Dealer.I more impressed with my new dealer each time I go in.
Driving a 12 malibu lt with the ecotec 2.4l nice ride but its not an HHR
Having the steering column replaced and having the vacuum pump added for the brake issue on the Autos.
One day without my HHR and I miss it already.
