I use the Thor to remove tie rods from buses. Works very well with a Proto air hammer pickle fork bit.

But it's on the sidewall...

Hey all, Here's a new one for you that I hope you can all help me with. Sooooooo a few weeks ago, one of my caliper piston seals decided to no longer seal and dumped brake fluid all over the tire. I got all of it off the paint before it did any damage but I tried degreasing the rubber tire and...

Been using Durago rotors and Centric ceramic brake pads from Rockauto with no problems :)

I've got the Ego mower. It's ok, but it bogs down bagging in medium height grass and leaves clippings. I would buy the Toro 60V mower when this one craps out.

My Hyundai Sonata Hybrid keeps the 12V battery at a low SOC like around 50-60%. I would never use it to jump start another vehicle for risk of damaging the expensive DCDC converter or anything else. I've replaced it once already and it lasted for 4 years.

You'll run the risk of overcharging the battery that way leaking to venting in the cabin. Just do it right the first time.

I expect electric water pumps to be a common wear item. Also very $$.

I highly recommend a Thinkware dashcam. You can disable voice prompts and emergency recording. It also lets you know if something is wrong with the SD card unlike many of the cheaper cameras.

I've been using Dynatex silicone and I haven't had any problems with it.

Probably acts like a gateway module for the other modules. Brings CANBUS down and causes all sorts of issues.

I've also heard of shaving cream being used to catch the shavings.

Really? Even my '16 Sonata Hybrid Limited came with heated and cooled seats.

For anyone with bad smells, just buy amn Ozone generator and let it air out afterwards. They're cheap nowadays.

Redid my spark plugs and replaced the other 3 ignition coils. I didn't want to pay $27 a spark plug from the dealer but I had no choice. I won't buy Champion plugs again.
