Some nut or bolt doesn't want to give, so you bump up the artillery by putting a
good 1/2" drive breaker bar to it...and a pipe extension...and a sledgehammer.
The bolt finally breaks, literally, and you discover that it's a reverse thread.
The money you saved by not buying an auto repair manual is now going to go for
a set of EZ-outs. The time you spent? Well, that's just gone. The moral of our
story is that a proper auto or truck repair manual is an essential component
in your toolbox.
Not only does a good repair manual provide step-by-step
instructions on how to perform repair and maintenance tasks, but a good car
or truck repair manual also contains must-have information like torque specifications,
tightening sequences, and safety procedures. And, of course, a good
auto repair manual will tell you the locations of all sorts of tricky fasteners,
and provide advice on how to deal with them. Auto repair manuals have both been
around for years, and they can teach you how to repair your car or truck correctly
the first time. Do you have a street rod or modified vehicle with a non-stock
drivetrain? Remember, working on cars and trucks doesn't have to be
hard. Get the correct auto repair manual! |
