Hi, Was working a seat swap and one of the holes is completely blind e.g. no threads no nothing just a piece of sheet metal. All of the other holes use M10x1.25 bolts and are threaded. I can't speak to what happened here. Maybe it rusted through and broke off? Anyways, what is a decent remedy...

Hi, I put down Kilz one coat epoxy on 1/3 of my garage last year after using the Prosoco 600 sure klean last year and love it. I had to stop because of winter and have to lift and shift my stuff within the garage because it rains so much here and unpredictably. I want to find a way to protect...

Well my years of remote working are ending now due to the return to office thing. I just received a $100 google play card as the result of a promotion and was wondering what apps you guys use for your commutes if anything. The first thing that I purchased was Torque Pro which was only $5. Other...

I mount and balance my own wheels and tires with a HF manual tire changer and bubble balancer. I did this on my Ford Excursion 7.3 4x4 which is the family vehicle. All has been well but only a year has passed and all four new valve stems have rotted out. I can't believe it. I used some Amazon...

I am trying to shorten a hatch spoiler by about an inch so that I can install it on my MK4 TDI Jetta wagon. The oem spolier is extemely rare and my jetta had one but it broke into pieces and I found out it was covering some hidden dents. The MK4 Golf GTI spoiler fits but it is an inch too...

Hey...the 3/8 end no longer holds sockets. I didn't purchase from somewhere that was Milwaukee authorized and the purchase was a few years old anyways. The tool is still useable but the socket falls off right away. Something is missing at the end. Is this an easy fix or do I need to start...

This stuff worked really nice on my Excursion's chassis but it was my first time using anything like it and I made a mess on the concrete. I need to seal my driveway shortly but this stuff is on the concrete garage floor and driveway mixed with flaked rust in spots. I emailed a few times but...

My Subaru Tribeca has some gasket material where the doughnut gasket goes and connects the cat converter to the catback. I clean things up like I normally do but where the leftover gasket material begins and ends is impossible for me to tell until I put the gasket in and it leaks. Any pointers...

Lol, I have used a propane torch or map gas as a source of heat over the years to help with stuck bolts without incident. However, over the fast few years I am losing my nerve as I have had a few incidents with things catching on fire when I use penetrating oil first. It happens almost instantly...

I posted about a manual caulk gun previously and thanks for the info there. I want to fill cracks on my 300 foot long asphalt driveway using a caulk gun without sitting on a rolling stool or on the ground. I already know that using black dedicated driveway crack filler using a caulk gun won't...

I'd like to be able to do stuff like the below for my driveway annually without sitting on the ground or moving stool with a caulk gun for each crack. If possible, an extension to my future Milwaukee automatic gun where I could walk with it would surely be a helpful part of this task if...

I have a set of caulk guns that I purchased from Lowes a few years ago that were green in color and about 5 bucks. Every time the tough gets a little bit going e.g. the material in the 10 ounce tube is a little bit resistant the plunger refuses to push and the sides of the caulk guns start to...

Hi, I have to remove a pressure tank from my well system. There are some fittings that I have not encountered before especially since I am mostly a gearhead. I have had some plumbing experiences where fittings were put together a certain way and the PVC ended up needing to be cut because...

I have a 300 foot asphalt driveway which is prett narrow and have had good experience with millings at my old residence. Can I add an area next to my driveway that won't look too messy but could serve as a spot to add a few vehicles? I just think it would look too different. Any thoughts on...
