Now that the driving season is pretty much over, I have begun to make a winter checklist of repairs and maintenance. Mostly repairs and when I am down, major maintenance as well.
Firstly, I have talked about the new rear main oil seal, ring gear, clutch and floorboard replacement. But there are other things that need to be done to keep the car safe and trouble free.
I plan on checking all suspension components thoroughly, including the brakes and bearings. I will change all brake fluid for fresh, lube all the u-joints, check the rear hub bolts (DPO had JBWelded them in place, now Helicoiled), check fluid level in differential, check for cracks in frame, etc.
This is a good time to go over the whole electrical system and make sure the grounds and connectors are all clean and snug.
Good time to repair all paint rock chips.
Reapply some fresh Waxoyl when needed.
The list goes on.
What do you all do when up for the winter? I hope you do more than just park it and remove the battery (You do remove the battery, don't you?)
