I have a Snap-on / John Beam tire changer which uses hydraulic cylinders for the bead breaking arms and center wheel clamp. The hydraulic motor failed to start / turn and I sent the motor and pump away for testing / repair. They repaired the motor and replaced the capacitor. I filled the oil...

Today was practice for the Formula 1 race in Canada. In practice 1 as the Hass car of Romain Grosjean left his pit, a large piece of the floor coating stuck to his front tire. The pit has only just completed a complete renovation maybe the floor not properly prepped. His tires had just come out...

My CTEK 7002 charger stopped charging, mode selection worked, maybe 1.9v output on leads. Took it apart and measuring across the relay contact soldered on the board, it was not passing voltage when operating. I tried taking the cover off the relay but it seemed to moulded together. I removed the...

I have a Bendpak XPR-10AS which has been installed about 9 years. My electrician wired the lift with the electrical cable running inside the post. He used the metal tags that are on the inside of the post in the center. Tonight I had sparks coming from inside the post when lowering the lift...

A friend has ordered his new Bendpak XPR-9 and needs to remove the old VBM 7,000lb 2 post lift for the scrap man. If we dont have to, would rather not knock down the floor retaining bolts, the pad is 18" thick anyway.. Suggestions how to safely lift the posts over the studs and lower to the...

My friend is having stucco installed on his house. He found one room has no power and the circuit breaker trips straight away. The contractors had removed the clapboard and banged the old nails back through, most likely hitting a cable. How do we find "we" find which nail / nails are the...

I hope you can advise me on this. Not garage related, but if I can resolve this I can get back out there.. I want to keep everything to electrical / MA state compliance. I just put in a master bath. I have a towel warmer that I want connected to an electric under floor timer / controller. The...

After working on the car or rain drying on the floor from the car, I found it difficult to clean up. With a shop vac or regular carpet cleaner it still left marks. I tried a bucket and mop but that really was not for me and made such a mess even after the squeege, too much work. I have now got...

I had my new Bendpak XPR10AC lift installed Friday, nice. :bounce: The problem is that the front arms, worse one side than the other, are rubbing on my nice Wolverine floor. I swapped the front arms from side to side with the pins, still the same. My floor is lower on the worst side. With a...

I have used search and not found what I have been looking for. I am trying to plan where to place the 2 post lift I am considering, a BendPak XPR-10AC. The guys are coming tomorrow to saw expansion cuts in the concrete that was poured today. The garage is 30 deep 42 wide, 3 doors. I want to put...

I am finally getting work done on my 30 x 42 garage. The garage will be for parking cars, but will also be used quite a bit as a car workshop. The guys are going to pour 4,000 psi concrete with fibre, what sealer / coating do you recommend? Do I get the concrete power trowelled, maybe sealed...

Hi, I am in the process of having a 42x30 garage being built. Majority has 12' high ceilings and hopefully a 2-post for the far corner. Do some paint work - body work, mostly mechanics on cars. Can you recommend or point me to other discussions on garage lighting. Thanks Brian
