I have a tri Wing nut that is meant to be turned by hand, however it is rusted to much to unfasten by hand. Had been sitting outside for to long. Is there a socket for this type of fastener? It appears to be a wing every 60 degrees. Something like this This isn't the exact but but to just...

Anyone ever use an outer tie rod socket? Didn't know there was such a thing. Does it work well or damage the stud when you use it? Would defiantly help with seized up tie rods. The only video I could find of someone using it was a short video on YouTube of someone using it to take an old outer...

2020 Honda Accord. Looking at possibly replacing the inner tie rods. The service information says to lower the front subframe. I thought this was a bit insane. However, looking at the actual part, it is not the typical setup. These inner tie rods have 8 wrench flats, as opposed to the typical 2...

Does it really matter what kind of clamp I use on my rack and pinion for inner tie rod? 2020 Honda Accord. The service information specifies how big the clamp should be etc.. Haven't seen something like this before. Sometimes I just cut them off and replace them with worm drive/screw drive...

Do special pliers exist to aid in removing such automotive electrical cable clamps? Something like this: I typically just get behind the black circular plastic part and pull up, but this can still break the clamp or the "ears". Basically need a tool that looks like this, with nice and flat...

Working on a Honda McPherson Strut assembly. It has a "pinch" setup, where the strut fits into a "bore" within the knuckle. A bolt is used to tighten the knuckle to "pinch" around the strut. My question is, is it a good idea to put anti-seize in the bore or around the strut where the strut rests...

I'm noticing lawn mower oil filters tend to not list filter specs like "99 % efficiency at 20 microns" there also tends to be no specs on when the bypass valve opens etc. So there is really no way to compare oil filters without this information? For example my lawn mower came with John Deere...

Anyone know who makes the shallowest pass-through socket set. I'm caving in and need to buy a set. I would like something that would be equivalent to 3/8 " drive or 1/2 " drive in terms of torque I can apply to it. I know there's lots of 1/4" drive pass through sets that are extremely thin with...

I have a new zero turn mower that uses the FR691V engine. Exactly 1.0 hours on the clock. I checked when I got it brand new and it was at the full line. Now after 1.0 hour it is at about half way in-between Full and Low marks. Seems a bit excessive to me? What should I do, any recommendations?

I have toe plates and am trying to understand how to DIY adjust the toe on my car. My car service information states: Rear total toe-in: 2 +/- 2 mm (0.08 +/- 0.08 in) Front total toe-in: 0 +/- 2 mm (0 +/- 0.08 in) How do I get a measurement down to 1 mm increments with a measuring tape? Let me...

I installed a new outdoor faucet. Have done this on indoor ones a few times for sinks. Something like this I installed for outside. The older one was the same length, but a different brand, it was not shutting completely and believed to be kind old from previous home owners. I used plumbers...

I got a core gear grease gun from Home Depot The grease gun can only be opened from the "End Cap" as shown in the picture above, sometimes called the "bottom". This is my first grease gun that could not be opened from the "top" (the end with the handle etc.). I struggled greatly loading a...

Trying to use a ratchet ******** a ground stake in dirt. I'm using a cheap ground stake from home Depot and trying to pair it with a ratchet strap, with a metal pole on the other side for a portable garage. Whenever a bit of tension is put on the ratchet strap, the spike slowly pulls out of the...

I have seen this design elsewhere but how do I disassemble? It looks like the switch mechanism has some sort of plastic pin that gets pushed over creating a black plastic circle to hold it in place over a threaded screw or bolt. There is no way to disassemble this it seems without drilling this...

I'm looking at getting a ride-on lawn mower. I'd like to get one that has service information. Where can I find service information for lawn mowers? I've checked ShopKey for example and there's nothing.

Whenever I bleed brakes with a hand pump, I ALWAYS get bubbles. Someone has told me that this is unavoidable, because air is introduced through the threads of the bleeder valve when it is loosened, and that there's not much you can do. I have heard some people put grease around the valve, and...

Found this at the dump. I can't find any markings on it. Doest appear to be much teeth. Any ideas who makes it or part number? Please.

I have a 2019 Honda Odyssey with the 3.5 L J35Y6 V6, rust belt. I got the car as a used car, and it has 70k miles on it, so likely the first itme the crank bolt will have come out since it was installed at the factory. I have a older Milwaukee high torque impact that I got a few years back at...

Has anyone on here ever tried modifying their ratchets to use springs with a lower spring constant? For like the ratchet design above, what would the effect be if you just simply used conical tower compression springs, same dimensions, but a signficantly lower spring constant? I assume the...

If you put to much grease into an impact wrench, could it have negative impacts on the impact? Could it skip teeth? Excess grease could get pusehd into the handle of the grease, which may be a problem if it conducts electricity on coordless tools? I have never regreased an impact wrench, and am...
