Default Re: HOW TO POST A PHOTO OF YOUR ZR-1 ON THE SITE



Nice

You will notice this thread has the most recent Photobucket issues demanding a Photobucket Upgrade for 3rd Party Hosting. This photo I have posted is located in the Registry Albums which I no longer use Photobucket for any Forum (Registry or CF) Photos.

1. I copied your photo to my Laptop ZR1 Folder.
2...... Opened "Paint" on my Laptop.
3.......then opened this photo in "Paint" from my ZR1 Folder.
4.......resized the Photo using Pixel Resizing to 800x600 Pixels.
5.......saved photo replacing original photo.
6.......Logged in to ZR1 Registry and clicked on my ID.
7.......Opened my Photo Albums and selected Album AMP19 for experiments.
8.......Selected "Upload Pictures".
9.......Browsed my Laptop ZR1 Folder and selected the Newly Saved Photo.
10.....Left Clicked on "Upload Pictures".
11.....Left Clicked "Save Changes".
12.....Left Clicked Photo just uploaded.
13.....Right Clicked on Photo just Opened and selected Copy.
14.....Hit Edit on this post and pasted what I just copied.
15.....Placed [IMG] in front and [/IMG] behind what I just pasted.
16.....Saved Post.

Wew......I know, I know....sounds complicated....but so is removing the Plenum until you have done it a few times which I can now remove a Plenum in the time it took me to resize your photo for this post

Removing a Plenum has as many steps and is just as difficult to explain in writing.......left click....right click.......select......click....click or Drain......pull......lift......unscrew.....remove. .......tip.....Well....you get the point

The best Teacher would be a UTube Video which is what we have discussed recently (Jim and myself). That takes a Camera Person (besides myself) with experience in showing the minimum and essential steps of an otherwise complicated process.

An Example of a Video.......
Headlight door motor bushings Video

I recently replaced the Timing Belt on my Tacoma watching a UTube Video.
I did solve one extremely difficult issue which is removing the Harmonic Balancer Bolt originally torqued to 217 ft-Lbs. All the video suggested I purchase a special tool to hold the balancer

Well.....I used my large strap wrench with sandpaper wrapped around the Harmonic Balancer with strap wrench gripping the sandpaper wrapped Harmonic Balancer.....could work for LT5 with engine in car I guess

My socket wrench was a 2 ft long 3/4 inch with 19mm impact socket (along with my 3 ft 1 inch pipe). Worked Great with the 5 ft leverage

I did have to buy the 300 ft-lb 3/4 inch socket Torque wrench (3 ft long handle) from Harbor Freight ($79) to re-install the Balancer
