Best way and tool to remove steering wheel? I have already tried a tool but didn’t work because there is nothing for the middle bolt of the tool to thread into.

I would say a rivet gun and maybe some needle-nose pliers, good luck.

So i have a 49 chrysler windsor and a while back I brought it to a shop to have the steering knuckle replaced, thought the guy knew what he was doing.. i was wrong, he couldn’t figure out how to put the car in reverse and he tried multiple times, when i went to pick up the car the car had no reverse, not sure what he did but maybe yanked on the shifter to hard and did something, any ideas on why i have no reverse now?

Hey guy so i have a 49 Chrylser windsor and for some reason the reverse gear won’t work and i am thinking it has something to do with the transmission linkage that goes to shifer, any suggestions would really help. Thanks

Hey guys so about a month ago I replaced the head gasket on my 1949 Chrysler windsor, yesterday as i tried to start it there was antifreeze shooting up thru the carb, so i took the carb off and there was antifreeze in the headers, there was no water in the oil or anything and looked ok. Not sure as to why there is antifreeze in the headers tho. Any suggestions?

hey guys, I appreciate all the helpful answers and advice, so my radio isn’t working in my 1949 Chrysler windsor and i am thinking it is a bad fuse or something , but cant seem to find the location of the fuses. Does anyone have an idea of the exact location?

thats the problem, when I align the arrows with the wheel cylinder the drum won’t go all, but when i turn them away the drum will go on

Hey guys so i replaced the wheel cylinder on my rear right wheel and everytime i put everything together the pins on the wheel cylinder that push the brake shoes are crooked. Any advice

Hey guys, so i am looking for the correct term or name for the part that comes off the tie rods and goes to the front of the car, i know its a steering knuckle or something, but can’t find anything online.

There is compression and there is spark and fuel getting to cylinder, it just cranks and doesn’t start. I have got the firing order correct and all i did was replace disttributor cap.

Hey guys, So i have a 1949 Chrysler windsor flathead 6 and I recently blew a head gasket. So I replaced the head gasket and now that i have put everything back together the car won’t start and Not sure as to why. Hopefully i can get some sort of help.

Yes the timing is correct, still not starting honestly thinking might be a bad wire.

Maybe 3 weeks and the valves were ok and nothing stuck. And yes the fuel is a few weeks old. There is a spring that goes to the carburetor linkage i think its called and i looked online and i think its not in the right place.

I have read the book. It doesn’t tell me how to access the lifters.

Why is that? I did use them, i used a cast iron rated one.

I took the head off because i had a blown head gasket. I read that since the engine head is off i should check for leaky valves. Im assuming the bolts on the lefthand side of the engine are what i need to take off?
