Nice work! A bigger hammer solves many problems :D

I've used yard sticks before but TMR is another option. Possibly made in the US? https://www.tmrcustoms.com/products/diy-toe-alignment-tool

I've had a set of Mayhew Dominator pry bars for awhile -- possibly ~20 years. About a decade ago I bent the 17" straight version. I was definitely abusing it then and just used it as it was. The bending of the main shaft did not involve the tip at all -- the tip was out in space and touching...

You could also buy one of the budget mini-ductors (I have one, it gets bolts hot) but honestly I've had so little success. It gets fasteners boiling off penetrant, but it just never seems enough. Maybe I just need to keep heating. Still, I'm glad to have it in the arsenal. No flame so...

I'm pretty sure at least some of O'Reilly's BrakeBest rotors are Raybestos?

They sell 'em at the Gittin' Place We have the technology, you too can own a torch ;) Honestly I'd consider leasing tanks from the LWS. Call for prices, the tank lease can be surprisingly affordable. The torch itself runs mild $ to wild $$$$$$

I like my Mityvac but I've found the push-to-connect fittings can start leaking in use. I think what's happening is the clear vinyl tubing collapses/relaxes where it's being pinched. Thus I think the solution would be to store it with all hoses broken down (easy). However this is a...

Polaris does the same with a wire in back for reverse lights (although amp load capacity is debated and a relay recommended). Still, it's a trigger wire built-in and that's awesome

I had a huge showdown with a local bank who said my savings account had gone "dormant" and I'd have to return the next day to pull out $ I had specifically set aside time THIS day to make a withdrawal. Coming back the next day really was an inconvenience. The tellers and manager were no help. I...

Our state leader is working to replicate that giant state on the West Coast..... We can't even get brake cleaner here that actually works. I typically just scream at grease and that's more effective than what they market as brake cleaner for us. I just needed a cat for a NM vehicle but was...

The aftermarket can blur this with plug 'n play that just tees into a connector at rear of vehicle with factory/ factory copy connectors. This is what I've installed on an SH Forester. Curt IIRC Also a Range Rover from Atlantic British Most trailers on a car are not perceived to need a power...

I'd be over the moon if I lived in that state. Less gov regulation is a good thing 99% of the time. It's incredibly rare to see a gov program or dept shuttered EVER -- esp one that can collect FEES to pay for its own existence.

Listen, if it's truly the shoes and not rust at the flange, you're just gonna have to get medieval and pry/force. Depending upon method you need to be prepared to buy a rotor and parking brake hardware. Plenty of shops in the rust belt just quote everything from the get-go, assuming it will be...

The vid comments claim D80 internals fit the G2 Icon. Interesting and amusing if so.

He's got a good point about SnapOn botching the 100T versions as far as customer loyalty. Reminds me of Ford with the 6.0 and 6.4 and 3V; as a result all SuperDutys '03-10 are dead to me. Plenty of people walked from their literal Found on Road Deads to Cummins and Duramax. @The Critic didn't...

Turn it or pull it off a little? The shoes would still allow a little in/out movement of the rotor relative to the axle shaft if they are the issue. If not, the rotor is likely slightly rusted to the axle flange. If you had one I'd say use a drum/rotor puller and hit with a hammer. Either...

Well.....got a clutch & flywheel kit from RA for a '97 Ram CTD. They put everything in one box and these flywheels ain't light. I was worried hardware would fall out and sure enough I don't have any flywheel bolts. I figured ok, I'll just buy some but it irks me they're $70‐100 per set. Sure...

This reminds me years ago I helped a friend put an OME lift on a '14 Taco and his front diff drain plug was rounded. I eventually drove a torx in and got it. The key is a small to medium impact wrench and lots of pressure to discourage cam out. Quick blips of the trigger and hope (pray) to...

I honestly kinda doubt any of the corporate FLAPS use rebuilders that change the bearings as SOP. I think they all stick a finger in there, spin it and make a determination. I hope I'm wrong but they're trying to cut costs any way possible.

Not exactly a tool but Zoro sent me a 10ml bottle of Loctite 620 in a 9x9x12 box, so...yeah
