A tool every mechanic should own

[fixou812]

That's the name of the video on YouTube
This site won't let me post a link anymore?
Just like the title. ....on YouTube by "Promise "
Neat little tool. ...i haven't seen it before. Picture a 2 inch muffler clamp with pipe wrench jaws in the saddle '
With a square hole for your 3/8" ratchet.

Again YouTube. A tool every mechanic should own

I just got some guy's talking head rambling on about becoming a mechanic.

I got some toothless hillbilly talking for 20 minutes about a 10 minute job.

Are you talking about this video about an inner tie rod end wrench?

Might be handy if I ever worked on cars any more.

On edit: Dang Lanway snuck around behind me again!

Oh...the last time I had to change a dodge truck wheel bearing it was a STEEL bearing with an ALUMINUM knuckle, and it was stuck solid with galvanic corrosion. Had to remove the knuckle at the ball joints and put it on the 20 ton press...took about 7k lbs force to pop out the old bearings.

Why do they do stupid design work like that? a fraction of a cent for anti-seize would have made that a FAST and profitable job...

Because Dodge. I can't understand why they threw away everything right in a front end. Took a perfectly good Dana 60 and turned it into a worthless tire eater. If it wasn't for the Cummins, I swear you'd never see Dodge pickup.

It might be regional, but here in the midwest, you will see 4 Fords to a Dodge or Chevy in the 3/4 ton and larger.

Daimler did it's best to destroy Chrysler before dumping it again. Have you noticed all the vehicle styling started to look like WW2 german command car front ends? That and they threw in Mercedes parts whenever they could just make us miserable. Now we have Fiat in charge, God help us.

Dodge had a phony Dana 44 front wheel bearing set-up from 74 to 79, It was weak as hell. Big tires would work that pressed bearing mess to pieces
in no time. It was even grease-able, but they didn't last long. And camber setting from factory for a dodge 4x4 was 1.5* positive \-/ drove like a
misguided mule. Most people used knuckles and spindles off a chev to correct the mess. They sure ran good with a 67-440 though.
