A bearing race driver is what you'll be looking for. Or you can machine one out of aluminum. Make sure you're square when you drive it in.

alright folks- i haven't changed the oil since fall (only put about 500 miles on it since the last change) but i figured it's time to change just because it's been about 5-6 months... aaaand here's what I get on my oil cap. nothing on the dipstick unusual. i'm quite sure this is a symptom of a bigger issue but could it just be something not so serious?





thanks in advance for the advice--

That's a lot of condensation, were you taking short trips? The engine has to stay at operating temperature to burn off the water.

Agree with 247, that's not unusual to see in the winter in the old six.

Completed some basic (but much needed) jobs this weekend. Put new door locks on and changed out a torched cap & rotor. Both jobs not bad at all.
-- It seems when my engine is warm and I go to start it up, it doesn't turn over right away. It just churns like its trying to start but it takes 5-7 seconds... what could this be? the cap & rotor didn't seem to help. thanks!
