    Main bearing help

    you bet just drop the oil pan and go at it. Now that thats said it wont be ez to get the bearings out. The caps will come out but you have to slide the bearings around the crank to get the top ones out.

    power steering

    sounds like you need a new bracket and a pump or a line. Find the leak (fill it up, start it, and look out) get a new bracket and call me in the morning.

    If I take a short trip in my blazer the glow plugs will not come on and I have to give it a VERY SMALL shot of starting fluid then it fires right up. I saw somone talk about a temp sender, could that be my problem?

    split rims

    Brake light pressure switch question.

    just take it out and quickley put the new one in. fluid will come out but just top off the fluid in the master and its all good to go. ( brake fluid pressure turns the switch on/off)

    Clutch pedal travel to engagement

    it will stay part disengaged and will toast the clutch. you might not feel it slip but it will ever so much. the pads on the clutch ( 5 of them on most) are only the size of a pop can top and are made to be on or off not to be sliping at all! you never never want to "ride the clutch" in a star...
