I just dealt with those on a buddy's F150. They're stupid. I made him replace them with Gorilla lugs

I've bought very few used cars where I didn't have to replace at least one of the lug nuts. Can't imagine doing that on a new car.

STR posted:I should put a glasspack on Brokeback. I had one on mine for like 2 years, it's hardly noticeable. I needed a whole exhaust when I got the car so I bought the cheapest mid pipe and muffler off eBay and one or both must have been for an impreza cause it didn't fit at all. I just hacked off the muffler and all I had was a glass pack laying around so I welded that bitch on and went on with my day. It finally fell off over the summer so I went scorched Earth and replaced everything front to back. Only thing I hate about Subarus is loving with the exhaust loving CONSTANTLY

Thankfully I only had to hammer the socket on one, and when I brought the wheel to my mechanic to deal with, I also brought him my poor socket. He took care of both, and said that's why they stock them and usually replace 1-2 at a time when people come in. Thanks Ford.

When I worked Express lane at Ford everyone had a 19.5mm and 20mm impact socket because we saw so many swollen lugnuts. They really are the worst. I changed out the ones on my FoST before I had that problem thankfully.

However if I were to take my hourly rate into account it would be a huge money loss. I won't do them for a customer. It's actually the reason I got the free Outback

And then you run into some like I just did where a 20 ton press can't even get them out. Exhaust is exhaust. Take it down, put it back up. Put on the right hangers so it doesn't keep breaking. Hubs rust welded into uprights is a completely different level of hell in my opinion. The worst is can get is dealing with studs on the headers/collectors. If that's the issue you may be in the same circle of hell. But it probably needs head gaskets anyway you you aren't wasting much time pulling the heads.

I don't mean replacing exhaust it's the rattling heat shield, donut gasket blow out, rusty hanger breaks so it bangs on stuff, a different heat shield rattling, converter flange rots off, crotch in the manifold on the head blows a hole, different heat shield hanging off so it rattles constant machine gun blasts of annoying weekly fixes that never end that waste my free time fixing. I'll take a pain in the rear end rear wheel hub job over the Chinese water torture exhaust fixes any day. That's why I finally bought all new stuff last time. If I get a year without having to touch it I'll be pissing myself happy with it.

A long time ago there was a guy who was a weed dealer who lived down my street who drove a super riced out Honda with custom matching interior, super flashy and noticeable. He used to occasionally make a shitload of money driving a brick of cocaine ~150 miles to a different market, but he'd do it in the Honda and said every time he did it it took years off his life due to stress. I never got why he wouldn't borrow someone's Toyota, rent a boring car, or just buy a cheap high mileage but not too beat up Honda/Toyota to drive for those trips.

Oh, like when I tried to replace a front halfshaft on my Brokeback. We couldn't hammer it out, it laughed at the air chisel, so I took the knuckle out and threw it into a press. We bent the press. Then we took oxy flames to it. Then hammered. Then threw it back in the press, cranked down on the press (bending it more), and hit it with more oxy fire. It finally went POW after entirely too long. ... for some reason, the wheel bearing on the RF is howling now, after being heated enough to glow white hot. No clue why. v  v

The Garage I worked at back in the late 90s had a plethora of lovely late 80s, early 90s gm poo poo come in there with the two piece lugs too. Usually cavaliers and sunbirds. I guess I kinda got lucky because most of the time the chrome caps were so swollen up I could just chisel them off and use whatever size smaller socket would fit on the lug nut. It would still get jammed on there, but usually not too badly.

Yeah, the part where you have to drive it with your head sticking out of the roof, and the top of the windshield level with your eyes is a bit of a no-go for me.

Krakkles posted:Am I remembering right that the Brokeback is a southwest car? It's surprising that so much stuff is so stuck if so. drat. It's an all-over-the-drat-place car. Purchased new in New Mexico, then went to the pacific northwest, then 8 years in BC, then a few more in the pacnw, then Texas (with a South Dakota registration, so I'm assuming active duty military), then sold to someone else in TX that only kept it 6 months, and I know it's at least been road tripped to Mexico in the past year (found several ATM receipts in Spanish from Banorte, some peso coins under the back seat, and all the labeling on the battery is in Spanish). There's some surface rust on fasteners, but even southwest cars get that. Still running the original exhaust with no rust on it, though I think I might have a small leak where the crossover pipe connects to the driver's side manifold. That's the only stuck thing I've run into - but the RF headlight and complete RF suspension (knuckle, rotor, control arm, etc) have junkyard pen on them, and it came with some damage to the right side of the front bumper (also a new foglight on that side). It's probably safe to say the axle came with the suspension; all the other bolts broke free easily, and the roll pin popped right out. There's no corrosion on the factory wheels either; the body is in really good shape for its age aside from the RR quarter panel being a little bashed in (probably from the same incident that resulted in the damage to the RF) and the front bumper. Paint still looks pretty good (it'd look fantastic with a buff), and it's the notoriously hard to match "white frost pearl". It has factory mudflaps (well, 3 of them anyway), and there's no rust hiding behind those either. It's a good car, and it's obvious the first 2 owners took good care of it. It just has some poorly done work by the last owner (like the missing roll pin on the LF axle, or the pad slap with trashed rotors done by a brake shop 15 minutes from me, or the trans flush with likely the wrong fluid and left 2 quarts low [I did a basic drain/fill yesterday with store brand Dexron, and it shifts much better], or the cooling system flush that left it half a gallon low... it hasn't lost any since I topped it off... or the bar stock welded to the fender and battery hold down instead of replacing the battery tray). e: I need to tear back into the front brakes soon. I threw new rotors at it, but kept the pads (since they were less than 1/4 worn), but I'm now getting two creaking noises with every revolution of the LF wheel while braking (I can also feel it in the brake pedal). I'm betting I didn't get one of the shims in quite right, but I'm getting so much brake dust on both front wheels that I'm just going to go ahead and throw new pads on it. It's only been a couple of weeks, and my front wheels are brown instead of looking like brushed alloy now. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Jan 10, 2020 |
