I don't know if this would work, but try heating the shifter rod and then cool it down in the freezer. Hopefully, the cold will contract the rod and make it easier to move the ball.

Re: KVR Brake Pads = Dang

Can you explain the procedure for removing a rusted-on rotor? What bolt size and where/how to use it to get the rotor off? I've got a rusted-on rotor and don't know how to get it off.

Thanks

I don't like the interior materials. Nissan used too much plastic/rubber in the pillars and dash which squeak and rattle very easily. I like the interior finish in my Accord better.

If the noise comes on after some duration of driving and it's more noticeable at low speed, it's probably the wheel bearing seals or the bearings.

Re: Re: Re: wtf is up w/ my BRAKES!!!!????

You probably have a stuck or dragging caliper. Lift up the wheel and turn the wheel to see if there is drag without application of the brakes.
