wheres the prop rod?

Davis · 10-13-2008, 10:02 PM

We can fix the dents with Mr. 24" Breaker Bar!

Oh and heres how much 1K worth of tools looks like if you guys were wondering.

honda_bar · 10-14-2008, 12:33 AM

nice tourque wrench, looks just like my dads

Mark_Dorman · 10-14-2008, 12:36 AM

Guess it didn't come with one. Good thing I got mine. Or maybe I'll sell mine and buy a engine lid shock...

Nice Davis...looks quality

honda_bar · 10-14-2008, 01:07 AM

wait Dorman, how can you sell one, if you don't have one?? Didn't you say that it came with one?

Davis · 10-14-2008, 01:09 AM

I think he means the one off his NA Colin.

and Thanks the tools are awesome, next on the list is a 19" Chain Wrench, to make those damn gland nuts come off with ease.

honda_bar · 10-14-2008, 01:17 AM

I think he does too, but I could have sworn he said that one was coming with the lid. The guy told him that it was 'complete'. Anyways, Davis, do you have 180 grit sandpaper??

Mark_Dorman · 10-14-2008, 01:26 AM

I thought it did too...but it's not that big a deal. Like I said...I wanted the shock anyways so this just gives me a good excuse to get one

What's a chain wrench Davis?

Davis · 10-14-2008, 01:26 AM

No...but I can go grab some.

I think i have 400 and 700 I think.

This badass looking tool

Mark_Dorman · 10-14-2008, 01:28 AM

What the hell does it do?

Davis · 10-14-2008, 01:35 AM

You can get it around irregular shaped objects and it'll bust it loose basically.

Mark_Dorman · 10-14-2008, 01:37 AM

That's pretty sick. I want one now...

In the Toyota world, that is for holding the crank pulley for doing timing belts on Toyota trucks.

masagsxr · 10-14-2008, 02:40 AM

Yeah.. nice tools.. I love those close/open wrench sets. Craftsman used to make the open wrench that is 4 point corners for better grip. Anyone still makes those? I love those one. The open-open wrench one like the one you have Davis sometimes still slides off and can still round up the nut.

honda_bar · 10-14-2008, 04:00 AM

Thanks Davis, but that's alright. I will pick some up and start the sanding on my lid....

Davis · 10-14-2008, 12:16 PM

Talking about the flared wrenches Mixxer?

And yeah Bens right, I was helping my master tech do a timing belt on a 5VZ and he busted that out and I was like whoa.

masagsxr · 10-14-2008, 03:05 PM

yeah if thats what they are called. I just googled it and they sure were the ones i'm talking about. I used to own a turbo (Nissan 200sx) and I couldn't remove one of the cooler lines. I tried a simple open wrench and it didn't grip that well and was rounding up the nut. After purchasing one of the flare wrench it did the job like it wasn't even that tight.... Very good investment and I'd love to have a good set.
