Super stupid question. When installing wheel spacers, how do I keep the brakes from turning when installing them up front... I am laying heavy **** on the pedal but it just isn't working...

On my 98 Cherokee the defrost works all the time and is constantly blowing hot even when turned off in the 100 degree heat. When I turn the heat on, all of the air goes out the defrost and through the passenger leg area. It doesn't come out hot in the passenger leg area, it's just air. Also the heat only works off or high on the climate controls. Anyone have any ideas for any of this?

You can try bleeding the breaks. Do all the wheels. Starting at the passengers rear, then drivers rear, then passengers front then drivers front. Get good fresh fluid in the whole system and no air.

If this does not fix the issue then replace the twisted section of line as it may not be flowing correctly.
