I don't know if they have it currently in stock, but after waiting for 2 months I finally received my copies from them one month ago. I wish I could help but I'm in LA, as in Louisiana. Bill

Henry, you don't have to wait for an answer to an e-mail, you can simply order them on line

Luckily, I ordered mine back in the day when they weren't "swamped." and it only took a week. Is there something in particular you wanted to see? I mean, I may be able to scan a page or two if you need something specific, but, of course, I ain't gonna scan the whole manual :D.

Well, I've scanned a lot of different things from the manual. The maintenance schedule just happens to be one of them. Go here:

Cool, what I need is the instructions on how to do the 60k and where all the parts are. My friend has taken apart and put together several cars and has access to a hoist, bt hasnt worked on an svx

Henry, your two biggest "bears" on your list are your Timing Belt and your Spark Plugs. The Timing Belt can actually wait 'til the 90K (since regs enacted in '95 -- after the 92 manuals were released -- specify that a timing belt should last 100K miles). The plugs aren't tough, you just have to take your time and be careful not to damage coils or the boots on the coils. I have written out the procedure from my experience. It's posted in the Yahoo archive. Just do a search on "spark plugs." Everything else (if your friend is an experienced mechanic) is straightforward (fluid changes, etc.).

I did notice something interesting in the maintenance schedule. It recommends that you inspect your front and rear wheel bearing lubricant every 15K miles. Hmmmm. I could've sworn that somewhere in the manual, it advises against removing and re-packing the bearings after installation. I'll need to re-visit my manual to make sure.

Have fun!

Say it ain't so Aredub! I can't believe you'd think about that. I can't even think what to say without seeming like a turd. I know you aren't a tech, but does it make *any* sense to press out a bearing and repack it and then reinstall it? Wouldn't you want to install a new bearing if you were going to go to all of that trouble?

Slaps head as he walks away....muttering...I can't believe Aredub of all people would say that!

<<I can't even think what to say without seeming like a turd.>>

Your grasp of the redundant never ceases to amaze me. :D


<<I know you aren't a tech, but does it make *any* sense to press out a bearing and repack it and then reinstall it?>>

Well, I agree. That's why it confused me that the "SERVICE MANUAL" suggested inspecting the bearing lubricant every 15K miles. How does one "inspect" the bearing lubricant sufficiently without removing the bearing?

You also have to remember that you're dealing with someone who's used to dealing more with Fords and Chevies than these "fer-uhn" machines. Ones with which re-packing bearings was common, and didn't have to be "pressed." Thus the response "Wha . . .?"

How'd you know that's what I named it?

Very few bearings are repackable now, you just have to buy the hubs too. Fortunately they don't fail very often. On our cars, what I'm assuming they mean is to check for any signs of grease leaking from the bearing area.

Dang, I wish that there Pep Boys would open up, I could sure use buying a passle of cheap parts for my SVX! (OOps, still mad about a former thread.) "I'd like that there 1.50 oil filter, and 6.5 quarts of that there 50 cent oil, and then could you look up the price on the cheapest set of brake pads you can find for me?":rolleyes:
