Simple strap wrench is cheaper than the specialty tool.

I never honestly had any luck with those, the one's I tried either spun or broke. :P When I bought the tool from Strap-On I got the cheaper Blue-Point model, but it still ran me about $60. IMO the best $60 invested though, I've used it hundreds of times as have my friends.

That's what happens when you buy China Freight tools with your McPaycheck. I know you PA guys are practically destitute, but if you pursue higher education you CAN earn a decent income and buy decent tools.

False. The new stuff isnt as bad but it still takes years for it to break down in the ozone. Its a serious problem.

No ---- I thought that 36" Pry bar was a great deal at like 3 bucks at harbor freight but That ****** bent like it was plastic once I started torquing on that axle nut. I mean not a slight bend either, surprised it didn't break or something actually. Now it is resigned to light duty/niggabeater status only.

Of course i bought the puller from there too so now I have Zero faith in it.

So i got it all back together today and started it on up. cranked right on over and ran fine. its breakin up down low like around 2k which is almost exaclty what it did when my dizzy ---- the bed like 6 months ago. so i got a lifetime warrenty on this one ill keep an eye on it. it only did it a few times and has yet to do it again. I think i need a new pilot bearing though cause that ****** is noisey as hell but not constant with the gears so i dont think its the tranny.

Drove the ****** all over the place yesterday and then right as im trying to pull out the driveway this AM the damn drive axel pops out on me. wtf. packed *** week and i dont even know the next time i will be able to work on it.

This car is a -----.

Cliff notes. I rebuilt a D by myself for the first time and it runs still. not bad for a computer geek i guess. now it needs to go, the ashtrays are full so im trading it in.
