    Questions about driving a 4 x 4

    Constant Velocity (CV) joints help.

    I agree with Previous post who think CV boots look good and not likely to fail that early. I think Ron may be on to something. That said, I have done mine (front) on my 4wd 4-runner with 250K three times and by turning the wheel and slightly jacking the hub end, I can compress and remove the...

    I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade. But I had this happen to me when I had tried to over ride the electric eye safety feature on my garage door. I had the wires unstapled from the walls, I was trying to get outside of the garage, to check reflection problems, by hitting the button...

    High Pressure in Radiant Heat?

    Not an expert either............... But yes it look like the Expansion tank is isolated form your heating loop. Re Drain tap: I agree using the drain instead of the cold water inlet will ensure all the sediment from the Hot water tank will flow through your system. I think your routing is not...

    changing a belt with only a screwdriver

He would have me bump the starter (with coil wire disconnected so car would not start) once the screw driver was in place. Definitely flung a few screwdrivers across the shop when I...
