Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I've had very good luck on fasteners like those,

$42 Maximum Impact Bolt & Nut Remover Set 13 pieces

using a this type of extractor. (Not recommending this particular brand, just the style in general).

 

At least I've got my face shield this go round
I think be able to dress the edges and reuse these bolts.

 

My daughter is starting school for the first time today. Fingers crossed she doesn't hate it

 

#2) what's my airhose caught on!!
Time now for a venom energy drink
Y'all remember what happened the last time I followed a pot of coffee with a venom drink...? Yeah, stuck my finger in the wire wheel on pedestal grinder! Socket goes right on now.

 

Exciting and scary at the same time, best of luck to her

 

Take pictures. My wife has pictures of ours on their first days of school through the early years, then at graduation party had a collage type of banner made, I think at Walgreen's
It was cute. Happened in the blink of a eye.

 

Don't know, I was hoping he would just say he'd fix it. I wasn't expecting him to say I need to pay for a new rocker. I don't know what I'm going to do about it. Haven't responded to him yet.

I get it's not his fault the cheaply made part is rusting, I just thought it would take longer than 2 years.

 

I know...get done a lot faster but figured this would add to TW entertainment value for some.

 

Unless this is a truck that needs to look nice, I'd hit those spots with the die-grinder and a Scotch-Brite pad, and cover with rattle can white.

 

I sent a picture to our tool crib person to see if she would order me a couple for the machine shop. Be nice if Fastenal carries them.

 

Raising the transfer case up wasn't enough clearance for the pan. Hope to be able to get a oompaloompa out of bed and pull down on this pipe. Looks like it will be just enough clearance just undoing one side.

 

Or at least wait until it got bad again. I forget the year but a coworker was approaching 400k miles on his old Duramax. Rusty but trusty

 

Problem is, especially with thin sheet metal, often (usually?) by the time it breaks the paint, it's already bad. It doesn't take much time for that cancer to really spread!

 

Dang! Went to find helper and she was just heading out the door for dentist appointment. I'll assemble this oil/fluid evacuation device and give it a whirl.

 

We have suction of fluid

 

Mine took 4 qts….

 

Cool!
Yeah, I'd guess by weight of can I got a couple of quarts drawn out. I don't want to be hastily stobbing that hose down in there. My luck it be jamming on a wire of some sorts. I'll get the giant cookie pan out for precaution. #1 return from wherever he went this AM so I can have him help me pull down on that exhaust a little.

 

@T-yoda , does 107 inch pounds sound correct? For the pan bolts. Didn't look like anything surprising in there, darn good shape I thought, and fluid smelled fine as well.
Preventive maintenance can't hurt. I did get a hot oil warning when wheeling it in AZ, why I'm changing filter and SOME fluid.
