I would add, a good hobby razor saw is a tool worth its weight in gold.

Minnflyer, you reminded me of a funny story.. i was in an auto parts store one day ,and I was needing to clean some part, So I asked the counter guys if I needed to buy a fancy gallon can of carb cleaner with the dipping basket..or if a soak in a can of gas would do just as well. I will never forget it ..

The counter guy says "A better mechanic uses the carb cleaner"

I stood there..unsure if I was being taught, or being made a fool of....

After a few moments and he smiled to me and says "do you know why the better mechanic uses carb cleaner?"

I sort of stood there dumbfounded and shrugged ..not knowing..

He then stands there grinning and tells me "Because a BETTER mechanic smokes !"

Right wrong, crazy...that has always stuck in my head... A friend also told me the definition of torque he learned in automotive school...but unfortunately I can't repeat it here !
