JH> Kewl! Just got the Haynes manual for my Escape with hopes to do more work on
JH> the car. I had lost a lot of stuff during my divorce when I lived in
JH> Maryland. Trying to retool here. Can you believe it? My ex took my
JH> sockets when I was not in the house. Claimed she didn't know anything
JH> about it. Now I have to get a new hydralic jack and jackstands etc. Got some
JH> nice new sockets both metric and SAE. Can't find my one man brake bleeder
JH> either.
I have been slowly accumulating more and more tools. You can never have too
many.
It is rare that I have to replace calipers, so having the wife pump the brake
while I bleed the caliper isn't bad. :) Having an entire car lift would be
really nice, but they are also really expensive. I have the hydrolic jack,
many jack stands (both car and truck). I could use one for my motorcycle. I
had borrowed a friend's motorcycle jack and used it - as a combination with my
hydrolic jack to lift my entire bike.
These days, I find that using a combination of RockAuto, Amazon, and Ebay for
parts (depending on what I'm looking for) has been a winning combination. Ebay
for the particulars for a vehicle, and RockAuto / Amazon for the new items.
