No idea. If it's not a high torque situation (I'm assuming M6x1.0), cheap is fine. Cut, sand or machine down the OAL of the socket itself, leaving just enough engagement on the nut. Viola, custom stubby swivel socket ;)

Vacuuming leaves off a Taco wiper cowl. Soooo much less anxiousness and frustration for me without a cord!! :)

This likely woulda been my approach. Of course having a couple lathes around helps :)

Breakfast this morning sitting at our deck bar :)

Well, water settles to the bottom. If you have something with a bottom spigot (sacrificial ice tea container, Gatorade cooler, old BOX of oil with internal bladder or maybe wine in a box?) you can let it sit there for a few hours then drain out the water. It'll be pretty obvious when the flow...

You speak as if you're talking to people who don't know or understand tools :D. Whaddya get?

Dorman?? Sucks?? I'm shocked!!! ;) Seriously, cool repair

That's great but I'm curious if on their floor they sell play sand?

I'd probably leave well enough alone. The exception is mostly solid axles where you have to remove the entire knuckle and both ball joints are basically removed or mostly removed.

This is now the fourth tailgate easy lift torsion bar I've installed. Today was a 2nd Gen Ram for an elderly rancher in my 'hood. The tailgate handle had also migrated up with time. I've seen this on other 2nd Gens and can't recall what causes it -- other than plastic fatigue I guess. Note the...

The website at first wouldn't let me submit-- said something about validation expired. So I reloaded the page and tried again and it won't accept anything from me, saying I've maxed my submissions. I tried a variation on my address and the wife's email, but same result. I still have the...

I just recharged a '00 Cavalier for my neighbor and fixed a leak. A couple years ago he said "he charged it" and it still didn't work, so the compressor was condemned. But when I got my hands on it there was ZERO charge, and charging it worked. Fast forward several weeks and it's not cooling...

So I only read page #1 but in Post #1 OP suggests indys are ~$200 more. Relative to ~$1500 I'd say that's negligible and would then choose based upon factors other than price: service, location, appointment availability, competence of shop, perceived honesty, can you talk to the tech or just a...

That is one problem with worm drive clamps -- people think it you can crank it down that small, it's fine.

On the Rogues the taller makes me nervous. It's in the RF wheel well and the longer one seems more vulnerable to road debris. Also, any of this family of filters tends to be great for many SxSs -- or at least Polaris
