What is caulking gun?

Caulking is a term used to describe several different process to seal joints or seams in various structures and certain types of piping. The oldest form of caulking is used to make the seams in wooden boats or ships watertight, by driving fiberous materials into the wedge-shaped seams between planks. A related process was formerly employed to join sections of cast iron sewerage pipe. Caulk (calk) can refer either to the caulking substance or to the process of applying it. Caulking as a term has spread to the building trade, meaning the activity of closing up joints and gaps in buildings. The function of caulking is to provide thermal insulation, control water penetration and noise mitigation. This is mostly done with ready-mixed construction chemicals sold as caulk such as silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, sylil-terminated-polyether or polyurethane and acrylic sealant.


What is fullering in metal forming process?

Fullering is a process in metal forming where material is removed from a workpiece using a forging tool called a fuller. The fuller has a curved or V-shaped edge that is used to create grooves or indentations in the material, typically to create decorative patterns or to reduce the cross-sectional area of the workpiece. Fullering can be done by hand or with a power hammer, and is commonly used in traditional blacksmithing and modern metalworking processes.

Caulking operation involves filling seams between plates or boards with softer materials that have no direct connection with the rivets (that may be joining the plates or boards together in at least two possible ways).

What is the procedure for replacing ball joints on a 1999 Chevy Blazer with four wheel drive?

Replacing the ball joints isn't difficult. if they are the original equipment they are riveted on, both the upper and lower ball joints have 4 rivits each, these need ground off with an angle grinder or chiseled off. once the rivits are removed your new ball joints will come with fasteners to resecure your new ball joints. you will also neet to pry the stearing knuckle off this is most easily done with a ball joint separator, it looks like a tunning fork, note it is easier to remove the stearing knuckle before removing the rivits. most people recommend having your alignment checked after changing any suspension component.


How do you change the upper ball joints on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe 4X4?

As usual use caution when working on suspension as parts may have loads present. If the ball joints have never been changed they are riveted in place. You will have to drill them out. Use a very good quality titantium coated drill bit, probably one per hole! The new kits come with bolts so once it is done it is a bit easier. Remove wheel and tire and you should be able to get at everything pretty easily. It is a lot of work and unless you are patient and have worked on cars before it might be money well spent to have it done by a professional.


How long to change front ball joint in vw bora?

It depends who does it, and what year Bora/Jetta and if its been done before. an experienced technician should be able to handle it in less than 30 mins for a typical model that's been done before, if it hasn't been done it can easily take over an hour. most of them from the factory have the ball joints riveted to the control arms, so you have to cut those off carefully without damaging the arm. if its been replaces its a matter of a few nuts and bolts.
