JohnA Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 trouble is when you put things back you still need to negotiate a socket if you have to use a torque wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Boy Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 mmm be rubber hammer and sky hooks next I have a Rubber Hammer! Well mostly rubber anyway, think its referred to as Dead Blows though, Think Glass Hammers are the wind-up Jobbies your after! Mark nice Spanners, they come in really handy when your doing a B'stard job and you loose your rag you can chuck em, and sure enough in a Boomerang style they come flying back........... just make sure they don't hit the car!

JohnA Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've got three different rubber hammers. Mallets. Try hitting a stuck cylinder head with anything else. I dare you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Get some ignition advance while you're at it. It's like a herb --- used sparingly it can improve the brew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
