    Only year old Honda push mower won't pull start without starter fluid...

    What is likely the issue if a still fairly new Honda push mower needs starter fluid? I use ethanol free fuel and it runs smoothly afterward.

    Seized Wrangler caliper fixed (sort of)...

    This Jeep was parked for almost a year because of an illness in the family. When we finally got it back on the road, it pulled hard to the right when braking, and the left front wheel would barely spin freely while off the ground, leading us to believe the caliper has seized. After compressing...

    Will this tap and die (in a set) work to fix a wheel stud?

    Update: Thankfully when the stud snapped off, it was at the end so after using the die with vice grips, I was able to rethread AND there was enough thread to secure a new lug nut.

    Rear lateral arm or control arm replacement for '03 LeSabre?

    I recently took our LeSabre to get an alignment (they do all four wheels) and could only get the front two completed. They charged me half the price which was nice but the mechanic stated that because the bushings are shot in the rear control arms...which is causing a noticeable misalignment...

    Will this tap and die (in a set) work to fix a wheel stud?

    I've never used a tap and die before so I'm looking at this set and after watching a couple videos, I'm concerned that the tool the dies sit in is too long to turn because the other studs will be in the way. Will it work somehow or do you recommend something else? I'm hoping to get one locally...

    Help with changing coolant to replace thermostat (1995 Lexus ES300)

    Didn't realize there were two block drains. But are you suggesting that just draining the radiator should suffice?

    Help with changing coolant to replace thermostat (1995 Lexus ES300)

    1) I want to replace the thermostat so what's the recommended way to drain the coolant prior? Not going to flush by the way 2) Would you recommend a certain coolant?

    Stuck transmission drain bolt. Looking for suggestions...

    This 10mm hex bolt is on a 1995 Lexus so I'd imagine it's been there for many years. I've sprayed it with penetrating fluid and I'm wondering what else to try. More time for the fluid to work? It's only been an hour? And what after that if that doesn't seem to work? Obviously, the last thing I...

    Just began noticing the engine revs but won't accelerate (1995 Lexus ES300)...

    Already replaced the air filter. Will clean the throttle body as well, thanks for the suggestion! This ES300 has 207k miles and has been a reliable vehicle....NO major issues and plan to keep it on the road.
