    Unplugging car harnesses without damage?

    They heat them because they are a glued mess from the factory. The rubber seals that keep the water out actually bond the plastic together and sometimes need heated to remove. The guy that did it probably heated the plastic and then pulled on the wires is why you had problems.

    concrete contract wording

    I live in NE Ohio as well and you are going to find that the construction field is not very professional around here, generally just a bunch of hillbillies that work concrete, and you are probably talking above their head.

    Pitman Arm Pullers

    Just remeber the puller is not designed to just zip off the arm with an impact. The puller applies tension while you hit the arm with a hammer to shock it off its tapered and indexed stud. If you try to zip it off with an impact it probably will just damage the puller and not remove the arm...

    How do you safely lift a 2011 F250?

    Should a Torque Wrench Be Used When Changing Brake Pads

    For the guy checking the run-out above, it looks like you have your dial indicator on a magnetic stand that is on a drive on lift? That is incorrect way to mount. How are you sure that your wheel assembly is straight? Your rotor should be secured with lugs and your magnetic base on the hub...

    Anyone Own the Waekon 75000 Auto Wave?

    No. But I do have a tool of theirs that I bought, opened it up a few weeks later to use and the screen was DOA. My snapon dealer couldn't get them to warranty it through conventional means
