Caliper bracket bolts are sometimes available aftermarket from Dorman or Carlson/IBI but not complete line. I stock OE. Most of the other fasteners are dealer only. Standard rule in our shop is before we quote any repair I take a perusal through the R&I instructions looking for one time use...

Just to add to BD Cardinals comment, essentially every brake, steering and suspension fastener on a domestic vehicle in the last 10-15 years is one time use per the service manual. The exception sometimes is caliper bolts. I stock a 6 quart oil box full of brake caliper bracket bolts for GM...

Some EVs have an OBD II port, some do not, they are not required to the OBD II compliant because OBD II is part of an emissions standard that EVs obviously dont fall under since there is no gas engine. Tesla began using a standard 16 pin data link last year as opposed to their proprietary ones...

While I dont specialize in EVs I certainly do service them. I have customers with Teslas and Polestars and bolts as well as just about every brand of Hybrid. I hold the ASE L3 certification. Bottom line is 80 percent of the car is still just a car.

IBI Carlson is about the biggest supplied of caliper parts. In all likelihood the parts in all 3 boxes are the same.

we very much are!

Kenny Pickett has more super bowl snaps than Dak Prescott as well

GT Radials are a steal for the price for the most part. Ive never had a customer disappointed with a set of them and have had them on my dads car since 2021.

I use a wire wheel on a drill to knock out what I can then use a pick or pocket screwdriver to dig out the rest

Yeah, it will work. I usually put a vise grip over the stopper just to make sure it doesnt come loose

Remember, every single component on a vehicle has a design life. Every component on a vehicle will wear. Generally when a customer decides to stop repairing a vehicle it is for one of a few reasons. The biggest one here in the northeast is rust that is compromising the structural integrity...

1/4 inch chisel from the hardware store works great on those axle nuts.

Thermostat opening according to the factory service manual is 177 to 180 degrees so on a 30 degree day with the heater on it wouldnt surprise me to see it hover around there

I dont like that handle design from Snapon and I doubt I would like it from HF which is why I wouldnt buy that set. These IMO are the best. THey just feel right in my hand https://shop.snapon.com/product/Screwdriver-Sets/7-pc-Combination-Screwdriver-Set-(Orange)/SDDX70AO

Front bushings are like 8 dollars each from Acura and rears are like 4 dollars each. Id go OE

Most salvage yards sell those to core buyers that sell them to rebuilders

Ive always just done Honda valve adjustments with a box wrench and screwdriver then torqued the nuts with a regular socket and inch pounds torque wrench

Having used in-ground lifts since I was knee high to a grasshopper, I absolutely hate above-ground lifts but as above-ground lifts go a Rotary is a good one.

I have a set and they work but would not be my first choice for bed bolts. Without knowing your application, most pickup beds bolt to the frames with long through bolts and clip nuts. When I remove a bed if the bolts are seized or the nuts are spinning the easiest way I have found to deal...

I have never seen a labor time for a wiring harness replacement, thats a job that usually is a clock hours job. IIRC on Highlander, the engine wiring harness disconnects under the dash and then gets pushed through the firewall, but it has been a few years since I have had the powertrain out of...
