    I'm lucky, he demonstrated on a mazda B-series, I think they are similar to my Ranger, so I might be able to use the same procedure?...........or should I take it to a shop?

    I'd use the procedure. He's pretty thorough, did a good job with the video and didn't leave out any steps.

    The un-bolting procedure looks scary.

    Maybe with help I can..........
    I know the elbow-grease application is far over my skill level, I'm calling a shop.

    I must have done something wrong. I followed the video step by step, but the fuse blows every time I turn the signal on. Could I have developed a short somewhere? Guess I'm going to have to take to the shop tomorrow.

    I can't wait for the muffler bearing article he's working on for next year. Mine are overdue for replacement.

    The front bearings or the ones at the back of the muffler, I hear the ones at the front are the really tough ones 'cause if they are stuck you have to work from the manifold back...:rofl:anim
