I bought rear shocks for my ford windstar. I had my rear wheels replaced about 6 months ago. But those assholes, tightened the lug nuts so tight..they wont budge..I wonder what i would have to do If i get a flat!..how can i remove those lug nuts without powertools? I tried penetrating spray, but nothing..when i try to unscrew the nuts the whole car moves..i cant take it anywhere…
i know i tried to loosen the nuts with the car on the ground..when i try to move the nut..the whole wheel moves and makes the car move a little back..and forth (thats with the emergency brake on) on concrete..
this is not the first time i’ve had frozen nuts and bolts on this car..

kandrews12345 asked:

I was told the rear brakes have to be disconnected from power source before working on them. Was told they are under high pressure and if did not use the correct scan tool or disconnect power it was highly likely they might explode due to the high pressure they are under.

Since I don’t have any diagnostic or scan tools can I just disconnect the battery? ANd, were is the battery located?

Thank you

knsp1 asked:

hi bob, i have this problem with my house lights, when i used a power tool that draws alot of current, my lights blink or dim. first things first the electrical breaker that is used as a safety measure, i personally think is below the required ampage and another thing i use a transformer(internal) to break down my voltage, which is 120v. i have check the panel box for loose connections ,none was found. i haven’t check the connections to the transformer, cause it looks well tape and seal. what seems to be the problem or what do you suggest?
my main supply is 220v, the ampage of the breaker is 30amps, which is used as a main breaker for the transformer(220v/110v), of which is then used to supply all my lights and plugs, the lights are 15amps and plugs are 20amps. another thing i have a water pump connected to a plug supply, but i use a switch to control it’s use.
the size of the wire used from my 30amps breaker is 4.0mm, which then feeds the transformer (220v/110v), but the wire that leaves the transformer, to supply the panel box is 16.0mm
