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.

A few years back, I purchased 6x 24 inch breaker bars on sale from HF. Total cost: $55 with tax. Gave 3 of them away and still have 3 laying around. Could break all of them on the demon bolt and be perfectly fine with it

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

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

JARblue · 12-28-2019, 03:32 AM

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

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

morning fellas
Trying to get awaked up & from what my daughter says,,,my cat is getting pretty good at strumming a tune on the metal vent that’s mounted in the lower portion of the door

I know something has to be waking me up early

jchammond · 12-28-2019, 06:54 AM

I think that I hear the hoe’s calling

jchammond · 12-28-2019, 06:58 AM

Drove the old Blazer to work yesterday & I may have a hub bearing going out

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

Only has 341,797mi on the odometer & a 1992’ model, shouldn’t be worn that much yet
