I have manual slide hammer, like this one. The weight comes off of it. It's 7 pounds. Used it to pull rear wheel hub off, 20-year-old rust belt car. It was likely the first time it ever came out since it was manufactured, and took MANY whacks. Was thinking about possibly getting a larger weight...

Drum Brakes, 2005 Camry Is the threaded portion supposed to be bent like this? This is part of the drum brakes. It's a pretty thick screw, so I find it hard to believe somehow this got bent. But when disassembling it "wobbled". I unscrewed it completely and noticed that it was bent. So this...

I got new wheel hub assembly. Brake drums. Previous one very rusty. Seized into plate. Would like to prevent new one from getting rusty. Is it ok to paint the wheel hub with just regular spray paint. As long as I avoid the threads of the study. Would it be an issue? Should I use like high...

Considering doing a leak down test on my 2014 Acura TSX that's burning oil. Am I able to do this test with a tire inflator or even a hand pump. I have done this before in school, but never at home. Can I just use a tire inflator or hand pump? I understand the basic operating principles. But the...

What are the lowest profile 1/4 and 3/8 inch Torque Wrenches? Please include measurements if possible. Overall head height, and not width, I'm worried about to get into some tight areas perpendicular to the head.

Is there a specialty tool to make removing cv axle retaining rings on cv axles easier? Meaning these things?

2014 Acura TSX,4 Cylinder Automatic I believe my engine was leaking at the oil filter base. So I was going to replace the two o-rings. Per the Acura Store, https://dreamshop.honda.com/, which is the acura parts store that comes up when you google acura parts, the two o rings are part numbers...

Sealed ball joints have seals at both the top and bottom of the boot, but do not allow for additional grease to be added. Grease stays in good condition for a long time. Greasable ball joints have a zero fitting so you can add grease, and either the top or bottom of the boot is not sealed...

What drill ratings increase my chances of extracting a screw with a left handed drill bit? Meaning if I used the same left handed drill bit that was identical for each attempt (brand new one each time, same manufacturer etc), multiple of same bolt broken off in the same way, use a different...

Can someone please recommend some flush cutters for plastic? I'm trying to cut off these four plastic tabs in each circle. The circles are about 21 mm in diameter (slightly larger than). I don't know if "special" flush cutters would make it easier for me, where "flush" is a circular surface...

I've seen in cylinder like objects that have snap rings, say for like retaining bearings or something, that there is a small relief circular cut in the cylinder material. As you squeeze the snap ring, it makes it small enough to go into the cylinder, you go into the cylinder a little bit, and...

I've heard from others that one using an electric Ratchet should manually brake a fastener loose first, then and only then pull the trigger on the electric Ratchet to unfasten the fastener by spinning it out. Otherwise you can damage your electric Ratchet by not manually braking the fastener...

Does anyone know who makes semi-deep or mid-length 1/2 drive chrome metric sockets? If you could please list brand and part number please. I know Genius makes impact ones, but I'm looking for chrome ones. Thanks.

Has anyone ever sheared the head off a bolt because they were using a high torque Impact wrench on to small of a bolt when UNFASTENING? Note that I'm NOT talking about fastening with an impact on a small bolt And just keep tightening it until it shears. I've sheared the head off plenty of...

Has anyone ever done themselves or seen reports of people swapping out the gears in their impact wrenches? Especially in right angle impact wrenches, gears are used plenty. I was thinking that a small gear with less teeth driving a larger gear with more more teeth will produce more torque. Now...

Can I use a thread Gauge to get the pitch of a fastener as a gauge to get the pitch for gears between the teeth? Or are specific gear pitch gauges required?
