Lash, I strongly suggest getting an owner'* manual from someone'* junkyard run. SE'* are easy to find. You need that little book.

All right, I'll look around locally here first. It would probably save me some urgent posting in the future, eh?

Not just that, but think bout fuse locations and things like that? Important little book.

Ask jr's3800 about good wreckers in your area.

A 95 manual will be too far off what he needs. Too many chassis differences for fuses, relays, and such.

OK, I found one here in town for $5, does that sound right to you? 'Cause I'm fine with that.

Very good. I've seen them on eBay in the $10 range. You can still order them new from the dealer in the $30 range.

Default stud removal

I just used your post and want to add to this post that the engine mount stud requires a external torx socket "E10" and I got a 4 socket set at autozone for $10. Don't mess up the stud using wrong tool.

I agree that the right tool for the job is always best, but in my situation, I had the understanding that the stud should come off with the nut (as others had reported had worked for them). Since I didn't have the right torx socket (or any female torx sockets for that matter) I tried a regular hex socket (can't remember the exact size now, but it fit tight) and figured if it didn't come out easily, then I'd go buy the torx set.

It turns out that the stud came out easily w/o any damage to the head, so I was lucky on that one.
