I don’t dispute that it would be easier to just replace the assembly. Not bad at that price.





And don’t lose it either.

There are 'fiber brushes'. Looks like a pencil basically but you can dial the amount of the fiberglass that pokes out the end, from a dusting brush to a sand paper like end. Great for cleaning contacts. Btu be careful, can be aggressive. (and there will be tiny fiberglass dust as the pen wears down)
Got mine on Amazon and use them a lot in industrial maint.

Black Blanka, please post a video of that muffler, maybe a before and after , so we can hear the sounds of open and closed exhaust.
PulpFiction , I cleaned mine and they still work , cost $0.00. I’m sure many have posted over the years, sorry if Catman’s tutorial didn’t include everyone’s posts or photos.

Today , after I dig out from another 2 to 3 inches of snow that fell last night, we’ll be taking the BlackSwan out for a drive grab a coffee and shop for groceries.

Morning all. A light snow fall :O Maybe 12" to 15" when done :O Not going anywhere today !
But have more time to think and that is not good lol
One thing is I wonder if the net on the back of the drivers seat can be pulled from a donor HHR and added to the passenger seat ?
I assume should fit !
Look real easy and this guy found mounting tabs at NAPA for about 7$ Vs GM pro=ice about 30$




Thanks

Thanks
I assume that it will, since every time I go to the boneyard, the back is missing on all the driver's seats

The passenger seat back plate is different from the driver’s side.

so it was a fun morning with my snowblower, clearing my driveway twice, thanks to the snow plow driver.
