  1. I gotta get my tires mounted and I want to replace my wheel stud that broke on the LF wheel, Is getting the ABS tone wheel off going to be hard? I think it's held in by hex bolts? I've heard of squeezing the bolt out but that tool is like $30 alone for it :-/
  2. I looked at that before I did mine it helped but in the end I went by the FSM it will be two years April since I did my HG.
  3. Mail guy just dropped it off and it works again! Thanks Chris! since I gotta go out later tonight I will do a little video.
  4. I had something like that.. but it was odd.. I did not turn over because this time my timing was alined right so I went and pulled the pin.. So I started it up and I got this tapping sounded that matched the rpms.. sounded like contact, I know my car's ECU does odd things when it has to learn new like giving me a bunch of BS codes that I've never seen before and they never come back. Long story short I never heard the sound again.. I might of made a youtube video..
  5. Saw that but I haven't used rockauto in awhile now I kinda just use them for part numbers and copy it over to amazon, if rock auto did not charge for shipping at each warehouse it ships from I'd have no issue but it adds up.. Plus I wanted to take advantage of my prime membership at Amazon so I figured why not.
  6. Ended up getting a husky 18in bag for now
  7. I think that bag (with the handle) would be good for taking out in a yard, I will have to check the other smaller bag... wait lol I think I'm going to get that 10 in bag now and get the other one later in the week too good to pass up.
  8. The dealer is the only place that has these washers? I too would like to grab a bunch since I've been using the same one now for a year which I hate since I'm so used to changing them each time I do the oil.
  9. My job requires me to be to work as long as the highways are open and not shut down, and that means moving out of my spot before the plow truck comes, I had no issues when I had the legacy and winterforce in 10" and it wassnt a outback.
  10. I really like this bag, I think this is like the 5th time I've looked at it in a 3 month span. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202017997/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=tool+bag&storeId=10051#.UPHbB3dlxSc
  11. I need a good socket set since a few of mine walked off over the years... any tips on not having the tool box slide around in the rear?
  12. I'm really thinking about getting those General Altimax Arctic tire week after next, my A/S are almost bald and with the weather hardly much of any snow here in the Northeast I figure these should run ok.. I had the firestone winter force tires on when that car got totaled I was thinking about getting those again but might swing for the General Altimax this time.
  13. No the torque spec is not much at all I don't have the service manual in front of me right now but I think it's pretty low between 7-10 ft.lbs and I want to say more around 7.6 or so.
  14. I'm in dire need of something to keep the tools in the car, I used the nylon canvas bag from my job but the weight and sawzall blades made a nice 5 inch long gash in it.. Right now I have in the back of my outback, my plastic black & decker tool box with a missing latch on one side and 2 nylon canvas bags one with a air cut-off tool and 1/2" impact wrench and the other with all the bolts taken out of an old 5 MT mixed with some other sawzall blades. I'm not sure what would be best for me? The Air tools I don't always keep in the car like that but my tool box is pretty packed and looking to downsize if possible.. I have almost everything you can think of.. 150 Ft.lb tq wrench, plilers, feeler gauges 2 switches for a manual transmission..
  15. Not sure if it's been said but I go here and listen and ask about the tools, makes getting burned much less of an issue.. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27192&page=232 Having said that most stuff is pretty good but for shop work I would not put my total trust in one tool.
  16. Oh well I ended up just ordering a set that includes everything I'm almost certain the bolts are 10 mm right? I know the lower one closest to the firewall the only way to get to that one is with a box wrench at least from what I can tell.
  17. Long story short back when I was chasing misfires I ended up finding out it was the plug wires but the rubber part that goes over the ceramic part of the plug broke off and I had to be creative (out in the rain) to pull that rubber part off to get the new wires on.. OK so at that point the gaskets had only been on maybe 4 months or so, however I used DNJ gaskets and I've got to replace it again but I wonder if it's ok to use the grommets? I just need the gasket for the RH side and given my leak rate I'd like to do this sometime this week.. btw I think the bolt sizes are 8 or 10 mm?
  18. Not sure never looked... I'd guess I'd have to look at a body shop for a panel? I can do decent wielding but can't use the one I have here it's way too much for thin sheet metal..
  19. I had something like that like 5 years ago.. went on the parkway here and 3 huge plow trucks took up both lanes but they saw I needed to go past so they moved over, well I was then on a fresh 10" of snow.. crazy how moving at 40 mph so much snow comes up over the bumper.. and that was just with A/S...
