Re: Cutting a hole to access the fuel pump

Dropping the tank lets you do all the other things too.
Turn that bolt round , through the lateral arms in the centre of the car. So that head is at front , nut at rear.
De-rust /protect brake pipes.

Re: 03/1997 Probe 2.5 V6 - Crank No Start/Spark

A working system creates a very high voltage , which discharges itself to 'earth' at the point of least resistance. The gap on your spark plug. If a lead is left disconnected , that voltage has to deplete somewhere else , if that route takes it back into the low voltage transistors.....................

I may be wrong here but I think you need a working key fob , even with a by-passed
immobiliser.
And NEVER , NEVER leave a spark plug lead disconnected.

Re: Handbrake sticking

The lip seal around the shaft lets water in, rust does the rest.
You need to pack the gap between the lever and caliper body with DENSO tape.

Re: Handbrake sticking

Unless you have some really special tools , a permanent repair is unlikely.
A fiendishly complicated design with a fatal flaw.
Even a new one needs the DENSO treatment to prolong its life.
