Gonna be another warm day and Sunday is suppose to be 60. I hope we dont get throat slammed by mother nature in July or someshit lol.

I knew what I was in for... I only had deep impact sockets (6pt and 12 pt) that kept hitting the steering rack.

I've helped on one before. Years ago. The right tools make all the difference! :tup:

The socket I busted was a cheap HF socket. Good riddance :icon17:

If I was serious that bolt would have been blasted with PB Blaster for several days prior to any real attempt. This was more of a "let's have fun with it" effort :)

I took the busted socket out to the bar afterwards. Only 2 people actually recognized what happened to it lol

I have a tapered deep impact socket that the taper married to a universal helps it go past the rack perfectly. One person holds it on straight and other tosses all their weight into the bar with 40" of extensions on it.

I have a 1/2 inch 14mm swivel socket on order. With plenty of impact u-joint swivels and extensions to accommodate any other needs... I don't foresee any issues :)

Proper tools don't require more than 24 inches of extension from what I can tell.

nah, I was exaggerating the length of extensions a bit. 24-30 is fine and gets the knuckles clear of everything under the hood.

Did any chicks slap you after you tried the ole "let me show you the socket in my pocket" routine?

I had three impact swivels and what felt like 16 feet of extensions for the driver side bolts. A real Franken-tool.

What's fun is when you have everything that you need and all set to apply pressure to the bolt. You have that 40" of pipe on the breaker bar. The only thing that happened is that you bent the breaker bar 45 degrees at the head. Take said breaker bar back to Snap On and tell him not to ask questions. :rofl2:

:rofl2: I'm not sure how many extensions I used but the breaker bar was in the airbox area. You get much better leverage when the breaker bar is almost out of the engine bay

:wtf2:

I be up, sorta :icon14:
Snack from last night & then a pbj...I was comotosed afterwards :ugh2:

Drove the old Blazer to work yesterday & I may have a hub bearing going out :icon14:
Making a scraping noise while rolling & increases with speed,,,initially thought it might be the rusted rotors scraping on the pads...but idk, it’s there even when applying brakes :shakes head:
Only has 341,797mi on the odometer & a 1992’ model, shouldn’t be worn that much yet :driving:

Here’s my old girl; one of the 3 projects that await the garage,,,not counting a couple I’m gonna work in for trade offs :stirthepot:
