]]> Comment on Professor Eugen Weber, The Western Tradition by Tim http://mrobvious.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/professor-eugene-weber-the-western-tradition/#comment-3523 Tim Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:17:47 +0000 http://mrobvious.wordpress.com/?p=335#comment-3523 I have been enjoying "The Western Tradition," too. It makes history much more accessible. However, Weber clearly strays far into the realm of biased Interpretation, and out of territory of remaining an appropriately dispassionate Recorder of historical facts. His bent against the early Christians, in the "Early Christianity" episode, for instance, is pretty clear...repeatedly declaring them "Heretics" and an obscure "Cult," painting the Pharisees as sympathetic and pious visionaries, and also inferring that Christ's teachings were derivative, etc... He also glibly dismisses the deaths of the early martyrs out-of-hand, as if they would willingly submit themselves to imprisonment, crucifixion, burning at the stake, etc. out of forlorn haplessness rather than because they had personally witnessed the details of the story they were risking their lives to spread across the Mediterranean world. Weber also expects us to accept the idea that Christianity is delusional because, as he claims, it was re-directed from its supposed target of Jewish exclusivisity and re-cast as a message for Gentiles, as well. Perish the thought that God might act in some way that wasn't in keeping with hyper-Tribal Loyalty. No mention that the details of who Christ was and what happened to him satisfy hundreds permutations of Old Testament Prophecy. And so on... Still, it's a great series. Very effective, particularly if your schooled enough to filter out fact from interpretation. I have been enjoying “The Western Tradition,” too. It makes history much more accessible.

On a DAILY basis, he has pointed out the extreme far left leanings of Obama and Pelosi and the danger thereof. However, he has been equally critical of the horrible blunders of McCain (and/or his handlers). No stand at all against illegal invasion of the country? Really? And making a bonehead political move to pick the "right gender" yet without experience? Really? Kay Baily Hutchinson? Buehler? Anyone? And throw in failed and ousted former CEO Carly Fiorina? Really? Buehler? Anyone? And throw away Romney that woulda got him more votes? that was a successful businessman...Really? If you woulda said...why doesnt he at least give Nader a lil discussion... then I could hear you.. At Nader is willing to try to deal with the invaders. Mick,

Either you have quite a bit more hand and arm strength than I do... haha or youre just lucky. Everything came off and on easier for you I think. O well, Im glad. Ive got a "reconditioned" rack this time, but havent set aside the couple of days that it will take yet. I was with you til you said that you stayed in a Holiday Inn... getting this done. Now I feel like Im listening to Car Talk with Click and clack... and the wife threw you outta of her house a few days til you got that done. I woulda been scared to leave the car up on jacks in public. Anyway, glad your work went a lil easier. I might in fact be due for more than the control arm/tie rods this time. Not sure to be honest. Need to check into that too. Just by visual inspection? Bob,

I wedged the tip of a large flat-head screwdriver in the lower steering knuckle and spread it open a fair amount. I loosened the bolts and bent down the tabs enough to give the rack some space to slide out. I used a small, screwdriver-size pry-bar to apply some leverage under the knuckle and it slipped right off. I did hit with some spray lube before doing this. I positioned the new rack so the knuckle was started on the steering gear, bent the tabs up enough to hold it from falling down. Hitting the top with a broom handle seems like a good idea, it's soft and won't damage anything. I gave the top of the knucke some good blows using the broom handle and 4-lb hammer. the biggest problem here is the rack wants to move down. I used some blocks fitted between the floor and the bracket so I could get some better energy transfer to the knuckle, went right on when I did this. You know your there when you can bolt up the steering rack, when the two tab's are back in there original position. Thank you for your help. I never thought I would be able to do this job so easily. If you have an older E30, I highly recommend doing the control arms and bushings, upper struts mounts and inserts if you need them, sway bar links. You'll feel the difference, and you won't believe it. I really did not think I would be bale to do this work myself, I'm a novice week-end mechanic with just enough ability to get myself into trouble, but with the help I recieved here, and having stayed at a Holiday Inn that week ... it's a done deal.

Yeah, be careful anytime it's jacked up. I used the jack and jackstands. Then as extra safety, I had some concrete blocks and a mounted spare as secondary things to catch it if the rest failed. I didnt wanna get squished either. It's scary being under there for sure. Best of luck and be careful ! Bob,

Maybe you will come up with additional tricks of unpressing and re-pressing that splined knuckle. I used about a 6ft long piece of 3/4 or 1/2 pvc pipe and a sledge hammer in the "unpressing" event. I hit the pipe on the end from overhead which transferred the hit directly to that knuckle below. Please share your results and thoughts. Bob,

I slotted the plastic on the pump to metal mount, clipping the sheet metal bolt too. The pump to outlet-tube rubber fitting was not allowing vertical travel and was also trimmed.

No claims that I know anything. Use my thoughts at your own risk. You got plugs and rotor and cap. Good If they havent been replaced in the last say 5 or so years.... Id investigate some of the temperature switch/ sensors. The red Bentley book has tests (basically how much ohms or open/close when the car is cold...and when its hot... is the idea. (ie you arent lying to the computer about what temp its trying to tune for.) Id investigate the air mass flow sensor. (Ive noticed some greasy condensation (only way i can think to describe it) in around the flapper of the air mass flow unit on my 85 325e and I have a tiny bit of bog down since its been warmer. It helped some to get a new air filter and an oil change. But I may end up putting another air mass in mine eventually too. They arent cheap so id do that last on the list. Ive had decent luck with Autozone even though I know people will moan when i say that. Good luck. Drop a note when you resolve this one so everyone can benefit. *** Just thought... if the fuel filter hasn't been changed, that might be restricting fuel flow some amount, which could be part of this issue too. Greg,
Thanks for your comments.
