crashed my festiva

[fudge]

It popped right out and fit through the hole! Thank you so much, just what I needed!

How do you remove the bumper support? Can't figure it out

[shadetree]

Small bracket in front of tire and two nuts just above that bracket . There behind the washer red on driver side . Then two nuts on inside engine bay .
But I doubt that damage hurt any of the bumper beam , most likely just the cover

I wish you were right. But it got bent just as festyboy predicted. For what it is I was lucky this wasnt a couple inches over or it would have hit the radiator as well.



looks like Ill be making another trip to pick a part! I just got some last parts other than the headlight trim in the mail so I may possibly have it back on the road tomorrow!

It still needs to see a frame table... I can see damage to the forward member support.

[burkley]

What pick-a-part are you hitting?? Massaponix, or Stafford, good to see you're making progress... I've gotta hit the junk yard up and find a few parts

[fudge]

festyboy im definitely gonna need a few pointers for that, I dont have any idea of how to do that.

burkley I am going to the pick a part in Fredericksburg, they have one aspire and one festiva right now.

Frame table? You tow it to a frame shop. Lol.
You have to really, really know what your doing to do it yourself.

Well maybe not tow it in your case, but with an impact like that, the front is now pushed to the right, and that will affect alignment and handling.

I will look into a frame table once I get on my wheels again haha.

I got the aspire beam on and ready. got the studs out of my driver's side rear with an allen wrench. Now I'm wondering how to get the passenger side studs out because they dont have an allen wrench slot or anything. I was trying to take the drum apart but i cant find the right size wrench for the wheel bearing nut so I decided to ask if I even need to take it apart.

[FestYboy]

Spindle nut size is 21 for the rears.

[fudge]

got it, but I still cant get the studs out. from the back the studs are flat too. cant figure it out how to get these things out

You gonna be ready for Sunday, Fudge?

I'm trying! hahaha I really wanna go, I think I might be able to if I can get these studs out and into my new hub.
Even if my car is not ready I will be there and my gf is driving her gti

edit: are you going to be there?

[walth]

You said they're flat on the back.. they might be pressed in. You could try a c clamp and a piece of wood (something harder than soft pine) and a piece of wood on the back of the drum and slowly compress. Or you could try to source some of the allen head types to have them in. Got a pic of the inside of your drum?

Have you checked your alignment at all? Specifically the front.
