1993 Corolla LE, 1.8 L, 7A-FE engine, 300,000 km (186,000 mi). Jack confesses, What have I done to this poor car? I did something I shouldn't have when I was changing the timing belt. Usually I put soft rope in #1 cylinder to hold the crank so that I can undo the harmonic balancer bolt. I d..
« I thought I knew a lot of tricks, I'll admit that that is the first time I heard of putting rope in the cylinder or a rag in the gears In the future, you may want to invest in a spanner-type tool .. »
« Thanks Ray O. Whatever I did put the distributor off somehow, I gather, and it is driven (I think) by that camshaft which is in line with the belt gear (as opposed to its twin shaft). Does the fac.. »

Jack requests: - 1993 Corolla LE 1.8L automatic 325,000 km I have a new front wheel bearing to press in on the left. The new part (SKF) has a little white grease in it. I have a tub of wheel bearing grease however it is green (Grade 1.5 NLGI-CG-LB Motomaster brand). May I use it to pack thi..
« Some bearing lubricants are incompatible, and sometimes it is mentioned on the container. Most bearings ship with factory lubricant that is used to protect the bearing and race surfaces until end .. »
« You mention that the bearing needs to be pressed in. That would indicate that your car is front wheel drive, and all the bearing I've seen for FWD vehicles were sealed bearings. Have things chan.. »
« IIRC, the front wheel bearings are sealed and cannot be repacked so no additional packing is necessary for new bearings. The white grease on the outside of the bearing is probably a rust-preventa.. »
« I can't think of any FWD vehicles without sealed bearings, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The OP's car does have sealed bearings. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply) »

1993 Corolla LE auto 1.8 liter 320,000 km The windshield wipers on this poor car are struggling so hard that the wiper motor is twitching the firewall in and out. The binding is in the hubs on the cowl. The hubs look to be made from aluminum, as they are corroding a white powder. I took out t..
« I think your best bet would be to find a replacement transmission, either from a junk yard or a dealer. Barring that, try penetrating oil to see if you can wash out the contaminants. If you leav.. »
« Thanks Ray O. I'll monitor the situation and check the wreckers. - Jack »
« Update: I removed the linkage from the cowl. The driver's side spindle was seized so tight I had trouble working it back and forth with a work glove on, standing on the linkage to hold the bar do.. »
« If you could figure out how to get it apart and had some basic metal shop tools, a rebuild would be a slick project - drill out the adapter, and machine a little Oilite Bronze bushing for the wiper .. »

1993 Corolla LE auto 1.8 liter 7A-FE ~320,000 km I'm looking for advice on tracing and fixing an oil leak. The rate of oil loss is about 1 liter in 200 km. It only leaks when running. The oil is clean and is not burning. There is no water in the oil, antifreeze is not being consumed, and th..
« Just from experience, on older Corollas, the oil pan on two of my Corollas have come loose. Tightening the bolts has cured this. But this generally causes oil to spray all over the place. Look back .. »
« If the oil is at the top of the timing cover, then I would check the camshaft seals. If the oil is at the bottom of the cover, then I would check the crankshaft seals. You should be able to remo.. »
« Thank you Ray O and Hachiroku for your advice. I found oil sitting in the depression on the front motor mount. I bought a new camshaft oil seal at the dealership for about $10. The old seal had a.. »
