Got a missing or broken wheel stud? Nothing easier to fix. You won't need a garage for this one. Have a replacement lug stud ready. Pop the wheel off and using a large hammer, I use a 42 ounce ball pean, whap that broken stud with a good amount of force. It helps if you can get a lug nut threaded on as this provides a larger surface for the hammer to strike upon. That stud will pop out of it's hole on about the second or third strike.
Your rear view mirror falls off. Go down to the auto store near me and get that handy little kit they sell for exactly this reason. You can have that mirror back in place with in about 15 minutes. the kit contains a tiny piece of sandpaper, a primer/cleaner to remove residue from the windshield and mounting button and a glass tube containing an adhesive. Just follow the instructions.
HHO gas is meant to burn with the fossil fuel we are using in our vehicles. The HHO gas burns up all the leftover fuel that didn't burn, there for getting more horse power and better performance.
So where did my friendly pet store owner take me to find a serious dog urine cleaning product? She led me next door, to the auto supply house. She asked the proprietor to search his shelves for a product that would be good enough to remove the smell and stain from my porch wall, but which would not be so strong that it would remove the paint. The product he had in stock was called Unbelievable!, from CORE Products Co., Inc., (but the man at the auto parts near me said there are other brands that work as well).
Let's say that your mechanic informs you of a problem that you don't know how to fix on your own. That's okay, but don't pay for both the parts and the labor at the garage. Instead, head out to your local auto parts store near me and buy it yourself. Garages have been known to charge up to a 50% markup on parts, which will mean spending more money than is required.
Your oil pan will typically be black in color and have a hex head bolt in the center of a long sheet metal cover, this cover protects your crank, the pistons arms, and the bearings which they rotate on, as well as holding your oil.
Here is a marvelous product that has multiple uses. I keep a can of this in my car at all times. This product is penetrating oil. I use the Water Dispersant type and it does a pretty good job of it too.
