Always use six point sockets on 6 point bolts.
3. A benzomatic torch is far superior to WD40 to loosen a stuck bolt. You only need to heat the bolt for a few minutes and it'll usually loosen up.

5. The amount of lug nuts that came on the car go back on the car.
6. Wire nuts are for houses, use butt splices and heat shrink wrap instead.
7. Never reuse a gasket unless you enjoy leaks.

Impact guns ussualy break bolts. Know your impact gun before using it. 12 points work great DONT try to break a 6 point bolt loose on with a 12 point socket. and yes never reuse a gasket that isnt METAL! Dont listen to little gangster punk mechanics they rig **** up like no tomorrow like dave for example
