Having trouble getting the retaining ring out of your front hubs? Grab a cotter pin, separate the two halves, grind down one end and bend the end to about 60 degrees. You can then insert the ground end between the open section of the retaining ring and it pops right out. But watch where it goes?????

Here;s one you guys probably never heard of.

Testing a an engine block heater circuit.

I made a light bulb that is specially wired so when you plug in the block heater in the cord and the light bulb lights up..... the block heater circuit is good.
If it is bad..no lit up light bulb.

1) a piece of garden hose or sprinkling talcum powder around jointsworks for detecting exhaust system leaks.

You can also insert a small led in the side of the plugin for the heater.
