Ok so here it is...two days ago I relaced the hub and bearing on my old mans windstar. Now it over heats and is loosing coolant. I'm wondering if the water pump bolts over time can come loose. If the case can I just snug them up and hope for the best....As well as the over heating The door ajar light stays on and beeps to no end. Along with that the dome light stays on....Anyone delt with these problems or no of way to correct them?? Thanks in advance.

get a coolant pressure tool from a parts store and use it try and find the leak.

Also sounds like the little sensor for the door is broke. either unplug it or replace it

 

this makes me not want to replace a wheel bearing

 

dude you have no clue! I went to the ford dealership and got what I know as a hub. They gave me a spindle after I had already paid for it...they wanted 80 dollars for the bearing....so I took my "hub" and new rotor to fit the new spindle to napa and bought a a bearing for 50 buck and had it all pressed together for 36.00$ My suggestion to you is to buy the bearing at napa get a pickle fork for 10 bucks at auto zone and diy and then take it to napa. Had I had of the pickle fork in the first place it would of taken me ten twenty minutes topstear down time. The thing is though it still shimmy's. I'm thinking another bearing is shot. Either way give it a go! If ya need help I'm just out side of brookesville and would be more than willing to give a hand.....

i was thinking i should go make sure my doors are shut.

 

thats only on a corvette

 

since I got ya here what was the name of that site that has the v8 rx7 conversions how to.

 

so here's an update....I found the leak. its comming from the hard pipe that comes off of the water pump...So I'm trying to get the thing off and and can't get enough leverage to break the bolt loose. I'm thinking that I need to undew the pass. side motor mount and that way I can get a breaker bar and socket on it....What do you guys think?? A mexican impact won't work cause its at an awkward angle....again thanks for any and all help!!!!
