How do I free a stuck trailer wheel?
Assuming that the wheel does not have a stuck brake then the wheel bearing is froze. The wheel might break free by rocking the trailer front and back but probably the wheel will have to be removed and the bearing will need to be replaced.
Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?
Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.
How do you install a timing belt on a 2003 Lexus ES-300?
The 1999 Mitsubishi Galant features a 2.4-liter engine. This engine is an interference engine as determined by the manufacturer. This means that should the timing belt break or stretch past the limit of the tensioner, the valves will most likely hit the pistons, causing extreme engine damage. It takes four to five hours to change the timing belt and requires a special tensioner pulley wrench, which is available at a Mitsubishi dealer. 1. Step 1 Disconnect the battery ground cable and lay it to the side. Do not allow it to touch metal. Raise the car and support it with jack stands. Remove the right front wheel using the lug wrench. Remove the right front fender splash guard using the appropriate size sockets. 2. Step 2 Place the block of wood on the floor jack. Operate the jack until the wood just touches the bottom of the engine, supporting the engine. Remove the engine mount bracket using the appropriate socket. 3. Step 3 Loosen the alternator support nut and the adjuster lock bolt. Rotate the adjuster bolt counterclockwise, releasing tension on the alternator belt. Remove the belt. To remove the power steering belt, loosen the adjusting bolt and the fixed bolt in the slider bracket. Push the pump inward to loosen the tension on the belt. Remove the belt. To remove the air conditioning belt, push the tensioner pulley away from the belt, then lift the belt off the pulleys. 4. Step 4 Remove the accessory belt tensioner and pulley, water pump pulley, crankshaft pulley bolt and pulley and the timing belt upper and lower covers using the appropriate sockets. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the pointer on the camshaft sprocket is at the dot on the cylinder heat at the 12 o'clock position, the dot on the oil pump sprocket is lined up with the dot on the block at the 11 o'clock position and the dot on the crankshaft sprocket is lined up with the dot on the block at the 10 o'clock position. You may have to turn the engine via the crankshaft two revolutions to get all the marks to line up. 5. Step 5 Remove the auto tensioner using a socket. Lift the timing belt off the sprockets. Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley bolt using a socket. Pull the tensioner pulley off. Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand to ensure that it rotates smoothly. If not, then replace it. 6. Step 6 Compress the auto tensioner pushrod into the auto tensioner using a vise, until the hole in the pushrod lines up with the hole in the auto tensioner body. Stick an Allen wrench in the holes to hold the pushrod in the auto tensioner. Remove the auto tensioner from the vise. Install the auto tensioner using a socket. Tighten the bolts to 17 foot pounds of torque. Install the tensioner pulley. 7. Step 7 Check the timing marks to ensure all three are still lined up. Install the timing belt, starting at the crankshaft pulley and working counterclockwise. Keep the belt tight on the non-tensioned side (the right side, when looking down at the engine). Turn the tensioner pulley counterclockwise so that it applies tension to the belt. 8. Step 8 Turn the crankshaft 90 degrees counterclockwise, then 90 degrees clockwise. Check the timing marks to ensure they are lined up. Loosen the tensioner bolt. Attach special tool MD 998752-01 and the torque wrench to the tensioner pulley. Set the torque wrench to 30 foot pounds of torque. Apply torque counterclockwise to 30 foot pounds. Hold the pulley to keep it from moving. Apply an additional 35 foot pounds of torque to the bolt. 9. Step 9 Remove the Allen wrench from the auto tensioner. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns. Let the vehicle sit for 15 minutes (without touching anything). Measure the pushrod protrusion. It should be .15 to .18 inches. If not, loosen the tensioner pulley, then turn it clockwise so that it applies tension to the belt. Repeat Steps 8 and 9. 10. Step 10 Install the rest of the parts in reverse order of removal. Torque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 18 foot pounds of torque.

Replace your a/c evaporator filter under dash. Liquid refrigerant is getting back to compressor causing belt to break.
Does a Pontiac grand prix have a timing belt or chain?
The Pontiac Grand Prix has a Timing Chain with a spring loaded tensioner. The tensioner is know to wear, crack and then break. The timing chain and tensioner should be replaced at 100,000 miles. This is a pretty big job that can be done with the motor in the car. $$$ Ray
When to do a timing belt on a 2.2L?
The GM 2.2L (not ECOTEC) engine for that model year used a timing chain with a teflon tensioner. As far as I know, it had no belt. However, the tensioners are notorious for failure...they break off and get between the chain and the sprocket, which snaps the chain. When this happens, the valves contact the pistons, bending them. If the engine is starting to sound like a diesel, you should consider having the chain and tensioner replaced.
How do you set the cam chain tensioner on your 87 Honda trx250x?

How do you tighten the belt on a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier?
The belt is adjusted by the tensioner, which generally isn't adjustable unless the spring has started to fail or break. If the belt is slipping or making noise check it for cracks on the ribbed side. If you see any cracks, replace the belt. If the tensioner seems soft, it too can be replaced.
Why do PS and alternator belts shred and break on 03 Mazda protege after 8 months?
Usually belts shred due to 1) bad or seized power steering pump or belt tensioner 2) Mis-Aligned pulleys or belt tensioner. 3) gremlins (or maybe nicked the belt during other repairs and it wore badly) just happened to me and I replaced tensioner as mine had seized. it started making horrible squealing sounds after the repair. I replaced the pump and all was well after that.
Is it safe to drive when brake pads need replacing?
It depends on the present condition of the break pads, and how worn they are. If your break pads need replacing I recommend having them replaced as soon as possible.
How do you adjust the serp belt on a 91 beretta 2 point 2?
There is a belt tensioner that is spring loaded and it adjusts the tightness of the serp belt. The tensioner is self adjusting as the serp belt stretches out from use. You cannot adjust the belt tension yourself. If your serp belt is showing signs of cracking on the underside then you should replace it. If you suspect the belt tensioner is not putting enough tension on your serp belt then it should be replaced. I had a 1991 Corsica with the same motor and I had a belt tensioner break. This caused my serp belt to come off.
