A cool "Tips and Tricks" ebook

Came across this ebook on the web called "Workshop Secrets". It brings back memories of the many pleasurable late nights I spent devouring all the secret tricks and techniques that mechanics use in the "Haynes Workshop Manual." (although many of the tips in that book are now kinda old and obsolete)

I looked through the points and oh, I'm sure these are all situations most of us have all been through before!


Listen to this...

• What do you do when you drop a bolt someone into your vehicle, and you can't reach it? (I'd grab my extendable Craftsman magnetic probe). 
• It goes on to say, what if the object is made of brass, aluminum or plastic? (Well that'll be a pain.....)
• How to make sure you never forget when an oil change is due. (I think this one will really be useful for me.)
• Easy way to fit wheel bearings (You mean there's another way other than pounding it in with a huge hammer? I'm guessing its probably to use heat.)
• How to stretch strong springs for easy fitting. (Ouch.)
• Greatly increase the holding power of self-tapping screws.
• Ensure brake shoes stay clean when fitting them.
• How to remove bushes from blind drillings. (Even with a slide hammer, this one has got to be a real pain.)
• Simple way to ensure bolt/nut doesn't drop out of socket.
• How to guide bolt into place one handed.
• Etc. etc...

Check it out and let me know what you think. I think it's going for $17.
