Is there some secret incantation to getting the lower shackle bolt out? The shackle has rusted through but I can't get it off. The bolt turns, but does not move. Used a gear puller and got it to move an inch. Used a 10 lb sledge and the bolt is even with bracket but I can not get it to move...

Just started teaching my daughter to shoot. Started a couple of nights ago by spending a couple of hours going over safety and handling of the pistol. The next night we did a quick review and I handed her the gun (Rugar SR22), a clip and 1 round. She handled it perfectly. So, I gave her two...

Bought a new P95. Doing basic familiarization by assembly / disassembly and slipped while putting barrel on. As a result the ejector popped up and left me with a slide that could not be removed nor could it be put on. It was stuck between. The manual does not cover this. The AZ help line...

I knew the heater core had a weep as I could smell it but it finally got to the point that the antifreeze started dripping out the HVAC box. So, it was time to change the heater core. I have changed heater cores on many vehicles over the past 45 years but I have to admit I was a little...

The high pressure line from the power steering pump the the hydraboost brakes started to leak near the upper connection so I ordered up replacements from Geno's. They arrived yesterday and I put them in. Holy lurching stop Batman!! When I applied the brakes for the first time I nearly gave...

Does anyone know if there is a source for a 4" Stainless Steel turbo back that is already set up to clamp onto the pacbrake prxb maxflow? (brake bolts right to turbo) Went out to the shop this morning to put the brake on only to find that the exhaust is ready for replacement. Figure if I...

Today was a first... Running 65 down the tollway and I hear and felt a large boom from back of truck. I mean the kind of sound and vibration that gets immediate attention of every nerve in your body. The sound that you associate with an explosion or a collision. And then... . everything went...

During overhaul I discovered that one of the c-clamps that hold the exhaust turbine housing to the main body is missing (as is a bolt) and that the metal gasket between the exhaust housing and exhaust pipe (5 bolt gasket by waste gate) is cracked. I need to locate a source for these parts...
