I used this type of setup yesterday and it worked well. I started with a 16 oz soda bottle and 1/4 tube, drilled a 3/8 hole in the lid as Chris Fix shows. My only addition is to place several small magnets along one side and wrap them and the bottle with painter's tape. This way you can hang the...

Those brackets look a lot like the front brackets I removed from the F-150 (see the post above yours). I don't know if the guy drove into the intracoastal/ocean or what happened, but they looked like they were driven in the salt belt! I also had two lug nuts that wouldn't succumb to the Ryobi...

Just out of curiosity, why is the mityvac not good for this application? I have only gone back to the drain plug for cars/trucks with oil capacity greater than my knockoff vac.

Just curious...given that you cut lots of filters, do you know approximately what mileage/time nitrile hardens? Is it somewhere around the 5k mileage rating for many nitrile filters (except supertech which is rated at 10k)?

Was the ADBV pliable or hard?

Clean oil is only necessary if the old stuff has sludge, metal shavings, etc in it! 😆 Of course, I always use clean oil because that's just the way i have always done it. But I schmear it onto the gasket at the work station, before I reach under the car to install it. So far I haven't knocked...

What car is this? Or did I miss that info...

I searched for the available Nepros ratchets and found this work of art. Are these designed for use or are they just showpieces for people with extra cash?

I wasn't on BITOG until 2018 so I can't speak directly to the now-vs-then level of meanness, but I can tell you that the rapid expansion of social media has led to numerous "keyboard warriors" who are actually quite pleasant in real life, but not so nice when they are hidden behind avatars...
