    Anti-seize opinions.

    From one of the other rambling threads about anti seize, there is actual engineering behind the clamping force, torque and the effects of thread lubricants. Torque number with Anti-seize: The torque required for a bolted joint design comes from a long string of calculations, but boils down to...

    2003 Toyota Avalon A/F Sensor Replacement

    Penetrating oil won’t do anything to the threads. They are below a gas-tight metal washer. Oxy acetylene is the preferred method with a 22mm socket. Might be worth it to take it to shop. On a lift, it may be more accessible. Northern NY shops are no strangers to seized fasteners! Best of...

    Mini Torx screwdriver set recommendation?

    Take a look at the equipment you’re working on. If the screws are recessed in the housings (deep in there), the diameter of the bit holder and length of the bits on the interchangeable tip sets might be an issue. The Klein has a small diameter bit holder, but still might not fit into deep...

    Wera Tool-Check Plus

    Just got one today, immediately needed it on a tight quarter Allen head behind a motorcycle exhaust pipe. Perfect! Also have the Wiha ratchet/bit set. Nice, but the ratchet reverse lever is very easy to flip in a tight spot, annoying.

    Finally broke down and purchased a QuickJack TL7000

    Great system, had the 5,000 lb for about a year. Make sure you’re on level ground, used mine on a very slight incline approaching my garage. Spacer blocks shifted and dropped one side of a small suv onto the brake rotors. Previously used jackstands in that same spot, never a problem. Lesson...

    Blower Wheel Relative to -Blower Output-

For the same speed, impeller and volute designs, the flow varies by the cube of impeller diameter ratio. Second graph and equations above, show the relation of diameter...
