I called to see if they would have a Torx plus bit for the bellhousing bolts. I figured they wouldnt but just wanted to be sure.

me "hi im wondering if you guys carry torx bits"

guy "yeah we have a bunch of different torque wrenches"

me "no, TOR-KUH-SSSS, like the shape of a star. its like a socket, fits on the end of a ratchet"

guy "oh, no. we only have torque WRENCHES"

I didnt have the energy to keep going.




I work in an industrial area around some shops. I'll try and chase down one of the tool trucks if Im around. I just dont want to wait to order one.

 

They have them ive replaced on that i broke befor. There as about good as autozone n orielys when u call them. U go in there and its right in front of them

 

Sounds about right lol

 

i got mine at home depot, they are rather craptastic, but for as much as i use them they work fine...

 

thats what I was wondering, I thought "I bet its on the damn shelf"


I'll go and check it out. theyre only 10 minutes away.

 

got a standard T50 at Napa. Im gonna wrap it up with teflon, it should work fine. I'll report back.

 

On the subject of torx, what size are the heads on the airbox lid screws?

 

I saw that happening when I needed a 17mm hex socket, so I just drove the 20 minutes and found it in a pack of four. My airbox torx are T25.

 

I hate it when they run up to you and ask if they can help you before you even walk through the door. I was with my friend once, and they did just that. I said, I need a hammer for liquid nails. He said hmm that's a good question, and asked his supervisor. His supervisor laughed at him.

 

i did just buy a craftsman bench from them. 8 foot with a butcher block top for $230. slammed my tranny up there on saturday, best bench for the money IMO
