If you are trying to get a screw to stay on the screwdriver blade when you can't reach in with your fingers to start the screw. Soap or wax can also be applied to a wood screw's threads to get it to screw into hardwoods more easily. Beeswax is traditionally used by carpenters.

How do you make a light bulb easier to screw in?

an electrician told me to try soap, like a bar of dial soap. I use the little soaps you get from hotels because they are small and free. Dont put anything that is conductive because you can really screw things up if it drips. Just rub soap around and it will help it screw in and out without causing problems.

1994 Legacy which is making a whining noise and a if you lift the bonnet there is a burning hot metal kind of smell around the power steering alternator?

It could be a bearing in your alternator that has gone out. Start your car and do whatever it takes to reproduce the sound. When the vehicle is making the sound, put a screw driver against your alternator and put your ear against the other side of the screw driver. If you hear the whining noice clearly through the screw driver, it's probly the alternator. Move the screw driver around the area and see if the noise that is passed through the screw driver is louder anywhere else, besides the alternator. If not, it's coming from your alternator. You can use a long screw driver or any solid piece of material, but the handle of a screw driver is a little more comfortable against your ear than other options.

How do you remove the front brake rotors on a 2002 KIA Spectra?

once the wheel is off you may see 2 screws those have to be removed before you get the rotor off, i suggest buying a impact screw driver ($20-30), put the right size bit on the driver and hit the back of the screw driver with a hammer while turning the screw driver counter clockwise if it doesnt come off you can hit it while turning the driver clockwise to help loosen the screw then clockwise once those are off the rotor comes out
