Many thanks to @Kushdaiin for walking me through it most of the day, but despite his excellent guidance, it'll be plan B fuse tap for me.

That’s #4 on my list right after Knipex, pocket screw drivers w/magnetic tips & Leatherman.

A man who throws away small pieces of 2x4 hasn’t truly seen the magic they provide lol. I just used a 2x4 as a tool on an Airbus the other day.
A man of exquisite taste, unlike @jay745 , who's to good to use a 2 x 4. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oil and plugs today. Plugs only had 15k on them, but looks like it's running a little lean?

I get the order mixed every time, so left is drivers side, right is passenger side. While I had it on the rack, I noticed one tire has substantially more wear than the other.

Drivers side.
I did replace the drivers side tire about 5k miles after the set was installed due to a nail. So ordered one for now to even everything out.
Also, while at my buddy's house he showed off his race car. 383 stroker on ethanol, fiberglass front clip and gutted. Running a 6.70 in the 1/8 at 101mph.

I also just bought $1,200 worth of German made bearing pullers lol, it could go either way.

There’s a place in every shop (& hangar) for 2x4 or occasionally a 4x4.

Come to think about it I used a shipping pallet as a table for removal of a 737-800 common nozzle yesterday 😂.

It was too damn cold & windy to play with my phone so no fun pictures of that endeavor.

Deep cleaned the wheels, tires, and calipers. Conditioned the sidewalls with 303.

Pro tip: Wear gloves, even when just cleaning stuff. Adams wheel cleaner did a number on my hands. Cracked all over 😣

@jay745 probably runs up to people framing a house and yells at them that only n00bs use 2x4's...
I don't get the joke. I have a stack of scrap 2x4 pieces in the garage same as anyone. Suspension jobs aren't a time where they're needed since it's so easy to pull the axle

I do have a confession to make though.

I honestly agree, you shouldn't be using a 2x4 for a suspension job.






A 2x3 works much better :ROFLMAO:
