Re: Automotive Tools

Got lucky today and had chance to upgrade the Pullers tool arsenal. Found some New Old Stock interchangeable 2 and 3 jaws kit. Rusty but nothing that WD40 and bit of wire brush will not clean. Aside from cosmetic issues most important of all is that the kit is in great shape.

Automotive tools setup is eating up all the budget ....... 🙁 nothing left for materials anymore.

@jay,

Im curious, are those RAM air intakes legal for daily use? since you lose one headlamp upon installing it?

Daytime it's 100% ok. At night If you have fog lights then it's still ok 50/50. However this car is not daily driver use anymore.

Re: Automotive Tools

Oh ok..do you race that car?

Re: Automotive Tools

We plan to later if the funds permit. There are tracks in former Clark Air Base and also in Batangas. Quarter mile races and also track runs for fun.

Re: Automotive Tools

That would be interesting..i've watched races at batangas racing circuit before and at subic, quite fun!

Re: Automotive Tools

Heat is your friend for freeing up stubborn rusted nuts, bolts and parts. Like this rusted up T-handle that won't even move when hammered down. 24 hours submerged in diesel and WD-40 didn't even do a thing to let it slide.

Heat it up to red hot. Sometimes rust is so much that it needs a helper too. Run down some paraffin as it will creep in.

Out it slides now after hammering with just wood. Notice the rust build up.

Re: Automotive Tools

Finally got the last kits to complete my Puller Set.

The Snap ON CJ2002

Even at used tool prices ang sakit pa rin sa bulsa ng mga prices.
None the less except for a few non essential parts the kit is now complete. I don't think I have the spirit to go for the cabinet anymore. Not needed.

Hopefully we will be using these when we do the major suspension bushings upgrade for our Honda when the parts arrive.

Re: Automotive Tools

For Oily and Greasy hands this is my choice for a Hand Cleaner. Works well and have been using the product for a long time now.

Re: Automotive Tools

My son just came from a fun track run with the Honda SiR engine vibrating. The left side engine support damaged.

Most Original upper Engine Supports have oil filled bump stops. Notice the spilled oil. If your car still has OEM engine supports installed and you suddenly experience engine vibration then it's good to check for spilled oil on the support. If there is then most probably you will need to replace.

Re: Automotive Tools

Finally found locally the Synthetic Grease I was looking for. This will be used for all greasing needs in the shop and vehicles.

Re: Automotive Tools

The " badest" and longest among the Knipex line of linesman pliers.

Amazon's description is wrong. The tool is 9 1/2" long.

Those working on their cars will know this one. It is used in tappet adjustments.

My Snap On 3/8 drive impact wrench gets a new red Boot.

Re: Automotive Tools

Jarod, if you still watch some of Eric the Car Guy videos then you know this tool.

Used for bleeding the car cooling system of trapped air.

Re: Automotive Tools

Moji, got the PB Swiss loot via hand carry.

These are one of the finest screwdrivers and tools I've seen. Each PB Swiss tool has it's own unique serial number.

The Blue ones are Wiha.
