On most older GM vehicles with fuel injection, you can siphon the gas out of the tank through the return line. It goes all the way to the bottom of the tank and if you are lucky you can just take it loose next to the fuel filter and it starts siphoning on its own. I dont know about the later ones.

I used epoxy and a grommet that I cut in half for extra support. I will report back with results of this experiment

Groovy, an HT6 it is, then. It is slinging ac oil out of the front seal, so now I can get the ac going again, and have it able to actually hold charge.

How can I tell if the compressor is a H6 or a HT6? Does it matter which I use, or is one for no rear air and the other for rear air? I have a 2000 astro with rear a/c if that helps.

I am going to take a grade 8 bolt and a file and make a tool. I think a 10mm square diff plug yanker will be useful with all that was said here...

I am going out to my shop today to screw shut a circuit breaker on a doorlock motor. Then I am going to figure out how to post pictures on here...

my 2k astro does also.

Welcome. I just joined today because I bought one Thursday. My mother in law also has one. Good luck in your Astro hunt.

I screwed the internal circuit breaker shut on my maw in law's driver side window motor (she has a 93 safari). That allows it to function pretty good. I did the same to one of the door lock motors on my van. I will do the rest later.

I am in Las Cruces. The dog is the mighty chijawa...

I am joining this board because I am the owner of a 2000 astro as of a few days ago. I already replaced the power window motor on the driver's side, and did some other minor stuff. I am sure I will check here often...
