toughest part to "wrench"
#51
The part that pisses me off the most is when you break the nut/bolt loose and the back-tension isn't enough to get the ratchet to work, requiring one to drag a finger on the socket to provide enough back-tension for the stupid thing to work. That and the coarse dogs in the mechanism that click like once per 360 degrees of rotation (okay, so I'm exaggerating here)
Interesting thought about Sears wanting them to break so you have to come back in the store, except my local Sears store employees cringe when I come in, because I loudly berate the quality of their tools so everyone can hear. That's what they get for screwing-over Roebuck :^) -WG

It's *so* tempting when you're standing there at the customer service counter getting your ratchet heads replaced, and they have that pin of punches and chisels for $1 each... $1 can't hurt... and I really do need a certain punch for the halfshaft roll pins on the Subaru... but I don't know which size exactly so I'll get three or four. Three or four bucks can't hurt...

Are you guys talking about the cars equipped with the funky oil/water coolers (heaters?)
I don't have any experience with those, but the other kind is simple to remove, so I'm assuming so.

82transam, haha... let's be honest, hacking the beehive setup off a parts car is much easier than having to worry about actually removing and replacing it all proper with new o-rings. All that oil and water everywhere along with those difficult nut positions makes it pretty tricky job. Wouldn't you agree?

And I agree with Sorrow, you should use the "right tool for the job" for any job you do.

Airflow is my life
Right tool for the right job is always good advice. And pratch, it was the exhaust studs that stripped. Denny wins the prize for the most PITA bolt on the first gen. Theres no easy way to get that off.GRRRRR, but props to revhead (the front cover line/fitting sux) . The carb nut was a bitch till I made a special tool for it. I have trouble replacing e-shaft bearings. I've ruined 3 or 4 of em. Time to pry open my wallet and buy the RIGHT tool for the job eh?
Some of my own homemade tools can be seen on my cardomain page.
