I am looking for a Rust Remover to remove rust from the wheel and hub/brake area of my car. I live in the salt belt. So my plan is to first remove the rust where I can. Then apply anti seize so the wheel parts won't seize together. At least prevent it enough so I can take the parts off in the...

Originally Posted By: Drew99GT I'm thinking of trying this on my Corolla; I recently used Techron and Seafoam through the PCV hose with fairly dramatic positive results. However, upon installing new spark plugs, I can clearly see the piston tops still have what looks like a soft/oily/shiny...

Originally Posted By: bfrey64 Yes, disc brake with drum. I know there is a plug was hoping not to have to pull the wheels. I may just have someone adjust the cable rather then pulling the wheels. Thanks Both drum brakes should be adjusted. To do it properly both wheels should come off. The...

Originally Posted By: Donald I think you need to do some homework and find out what the thread sizes are for your fuel setup. Its probably metric threads. You will probably need a tee that you can thread in place rather that trying hoses and clamps. Do you need to measure with the engine...

Since this is a precision tool the Harbor Freight version is out. I'm looking for the best value Fuel Pressure Gauge. Something that you've used before and is reliable. Not a HF gauge that's going to leak after a few uses. I also need a T splitter (or whatever it's called) in the kit because the...

Which TCW3 are you using? There are a lot of them out there.
