I have two questions,
Firstly, My passenger side rear wheel is squeeking like all ****, is this my handbrake bushes not contracting properly?? Anyway to fix that without taking it to a mechanic???
and secondly, i want to change my pligs and leads, im guessing they have been on there since new, they look pretty crap, and now my cars done 150km i think its time hahah. Anyway, i obviously have to take off the manifold thing to get to the rear plugs, when i take it off, will i need a gasket kit for it or is it rubber and will just go back on.
I have looked through the forum and couldnt really find much on taking the manifold off.
Thanks heaps

The manifold Gasket is steel. They are reusable a couple of times. Depends on the number of times it's been compressed. Only $7 from Mitsu parts anyway. Make sure when you retighten everything, do it as per a Haynes manual or Mitsu shop manual and USE a torque wrench. The manifold is soft and overtightening will damage it!
And be careful not to drop anything/get any contamination in the lower manifold.

i recommend doing this yourself. my first time took me about an hour to change the leads, plugs etc. Not that hard.
get a service manual too:D
