• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Rear caliper question

    You should be able to unbolt that lever then and rotate the shaft....the part with the cable on top and spring on the bottom. don't use a C clamp until the shaft is retracted.

    Rear caliper question

    Sorry just noticed yours is a 2013....does it look like the one in the photo? It might be easier to rotate the piston.....or see if you can remove the round thing (bellcrank) that the cable is attached to, then turn the shaft.

    The lever that's attached to the parking brake cable....reposition the lever so you can turn it in the opposite direction.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    I wonder if a shut off valve were installed in the vent line from the tank to the canister? Some pressure could likely build up but I believe the gas cap has a relief valve in case of too much pressure. :dontknow:

    Leaking reservoir tank and far away from home. HELP!!!!

    Permatex makes a coolant tank repair kit. Try an automotive parts store. You can also put the cap on the first notch and hopefully relieve pressure on the tank without too much leakage...

    I think we're both right, it just depends which decades we're talking about! It looks like the pre 60's cars were really simple like on that '55 cap. I don't think there was a diaphragm under that and the vent hole could get plugged pretty easily. Then they started with those big accordian...

    I'm pretty happy with mine too. I've got around 11,000 miles on it now. It's had the DPS recall and the ECM was changed when one cylinder quit firing. I haven't done anything else other than oil changes and a new battery last year. :thumbup:

    Here's another example....the older cars had a simple venting system drilled right into the side of the cap and was easy to see. This one's from a '55 Ford:

    Yes, I removed the cap and the diaphragm has two small dimples...I imagine those are the vents but a bit too small to make them out. The diaphragm wasn't all sucked down either like all of those old GM's always were! I believe you're right about those cars not being vented but they had huge...
