    Had that problem even with the proper manual bracket. I had to cut it in two and re weld it further back and use the middle bolts.

    Gonna cost me like 500 to get my sc back): did you press the needle bearings in flush? Or a little further??

    No. The threads are long enough..

    Ha nice. Think I've fabbed something that will work.

    They need to be a touch further then flush. If it's flush they won't rotate for shit.

    It's on the back/underside of the Evap box. It goes into a little valve looking thing. If you can't find it I can grab a picture tommorow

    Hmmm..

    So tried starting. Got nothing. When I turn the key to the off position, my temp gauge peaks out. Check engine light comes on and air bag light and faded battery light..

    Shit.
