How do you use socket wrench?

Depends on what you are needing it for. First you should determine what size socket wrench [ratchet] to use. If using a small socket in a small place, try either a 1/4" or 3/8" drive ratchet.Second will see a square piece on the head of the ratchet. You take the socket, and match the two squares together.(Note: On some ratchets, you may simply be able to push the socket on, while others, there may be a small circle on the opposite side of the socket wrench. You have to push this in, while pushing the socket onto the square, and, when the socket is in place, release the circle. This attaches the socket to the socket wrench safely, so that it does not come loose while in use).Now, if you are tightening the bolt/nut, you push the lever on the back of the head of the socket wrench to the LEFT. If you are loosening, you push the lever to the RIGHT. (Remember it like ON/OFF. On [Left], Off [Right]).After setting the socket wrench, you place the socket on the nut/bolt, you turn the socket wrench to the left if tightening, and right if loosening. (When you turn it, you should hear a clicking noise. Then when you begin to tighten/loosen it, it will stop clicking).Hope this helps!


Is it true that current processor sockets called zero insertion force or ZIF sockets have a small lever on the side that lifts the processor up and out of the socket?

The lever doesn't lift the processor out of the socket; it takes the shearing force off of the processor pins inside of the holes, so that the processor can be lifted out, or inserted, with no pressure necessary. When you lower the lever on a ZIF socket, the pins are clamped down on under the socket plastic housing.


IS There is no clear way to distinguish how a CPU will fit into a socket?

AMD and Intel processors tend to have a small arrow on one of the corners. Looking from the bottom you will see a missing pin. This corner fits into the part of the socket which often has a similar arrow and missing hole. That corner is usually at the place where the socket lever is.The CPU will only fit one way so you will know when it is correct.

How do you replace a licence plate lamp on a 1989 Cadillac deVille?

This is an easy one, but.... I spent a good half an hour figuring it out. The license plate lamp requires no tools to replace. Above the license plate is a small bulb housing. At the back of the bulb housing is the bulb socket that locks into place. Simply turn the socket 90 degrees moving the socket clockwise as you're facing the rear of the car and wiggle it out. The bulb simply pulls out and the new one pushes in!

How do you use a lever?

It is used to lift a heavy object. Place the end of the lever under the rock. Then move a fulcrum (for example a small rock) under the lever close to where it goes under the rock. By moving your end of the lever a lot, you can make the shorter end move a little and lift a heavy weight.

How do you disable the rear child door locks on a 1997 Jeep?

The First answer is correct, but most people think of the jam as the part the door latches on to. The lever should be located right below the latch on the door itself. It should say either Child locks on/off or lock/unlock. Depending on the make it will read something to that effect. In addition to this many times the child latch has vibrated to a middle position over the years making the door a pain to open. There should be a small lever on the door jamb.


How do you remove top bolt on rear strut on a 1999 Mercury Cougar?

Lower the rear seat on the side your removing; Remove the trim panel that goes over the quarter glass; Remove the trim panel that extends from rear seat release lever, towards the rear body panel; Remove the small piece of flexible rubber sound deading compound over the opening that contains the upper portion of the strut mounting nut. You will need to use a 3/8 inch ratchet with a deep well socket to remove the nut. Place the socket on the nut first, then place ratchet onto the socket. Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Have helper to hold unit in place, to replace. However, placing a small floor jack under the strut and jacking into place will work, if your working alone. After install,,, double check. Loose strut nut results in a hard to find rattle that sounds like loose exhaust.
