If you have ever struggled with those brake caliper bracket bolts try using a rubber hammer on the wrench to get them going. Not a bad idea for a final tighten up either. This also works for stubborn front end parts. They were meant to be tight and the caliper brackets are frequently coated with thread locker as they shouldn't come loose - man that can cause a bad hair day! Be safe, when in doubt get help with safety items, Best, Tom

Lol, they work as a fuel pump test tool too. If you have a crank-no- start, bumping the bottom of the fuel tank while someone cranks the engine will sometimes start the car, saving you the trouble of pushing it into the shop. BTW, I really like this site. I've not read much here, but you and Dan seem like a couple of smart mechs. Others too, I'm sure.

Keep checking in, this site will no doubt be the leader - well set up and even with a new format is takining off! Your input counts as much as anyones and your posts so far have shown that. Best,
