Hand Tools

You first remove the bolt or screw that holds the 'puller ' in the barrel right at the front of the tool. - I can't imagine why you would want to though, buying a new one is much more cost-effective than trying to fix an old one.

The round head of the combination wrench fits very securely around a bolt or nut head of the appropriate size, thus making it easy to apply extreme torque on all side equally. These wrenches are for undoing nuts or bolts that are very tight or have rusted. Once a little loose, the flat, two sided end is easier to use.

You fit the jaws onto an appropriate nut or bolt and turn it - clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen.

Torx is a family of screws/bolts, and their associated tools. They work very much like Allen screws, but instead of an internal hexagonal shape, Torx use a star shaped interface. The star shape can transmit more power than the hexagonal shape, protecting the user from stripping the bolt/screwheads.

Just like Allen keys, Torx comes in several sizes, with T40 being one of them.

A chisel is not actually a music instrument but instead is a cutting instrument with a sharp beveled edge. Chisels are used to cut and shape wood, metal and stone.

The special sockets that should be used with an air impact wrench is a socket that has been designed with a spring steel that will act as a torsion spring. A special socket is needed in order to take advantage of the impact's wrench inability to work against a spring.

ANS 2

The sockets used for impact duty (called "impact sockets") are made with thicker walls and tempered to a lower hardness so as not to shatter under the impacts of the impact tool.

When you want to impart lots of pressure on something that you don't want to mark or distort.

To tighten and loosen Allen head bolts

You make sure the chisel is sharp and place the edge on the metal you wish to cut and hit it with a hammer, I prefer a small sledge to a ball peen hammer.

It means your engine needs attention.

Yes, it will grip the flats tighter and not round them as an open wrench sometimes will.

I don't know that particular vehicle, but I must say it doesn't seem like a huge imposition to get under with 3-4 different wrenches and try them for size. I change MANY front pads and usually follow that pattern.

A Phillips screwdriver has a cross shaped head with 4 lobes that are angled to a point. The heads come in 6 sizes numbered 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. #2 is basically the most common head and fits drywall screws.

Tools are made from a variety of carbon and alloy steels that are particularly suited to be made into tools. Their suitability comes from their distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion, their ability to hold a cutting edge.

This tool is an 'awl' and is used in crafts like leathermaking and some woodwork.

Yes, they also have cross point, flat ppoint, star point, hexagon point, pentagon point, and etc. They are the best screwdriver in terms of durability.

Brands of impact wrenches include: Kawasaki, Ingersoll Rand, Chicago Electric, Dewalt. The most famous is Ingersoll Rand, also most used. Known for its small, but powerful electric wrenches.

You need a 10mm wrench.

Most Toyotas of that period use 14 or 17 mm bolts on brake pads.

Phillips P4 is 3/8 diameter.

The engine needs attention, -how long since you checked oil, air filter, PCV, power steering fluid,etc.

Specialised tools have a limited number of uses. For instance, a pipe wrench can only be used for gripping a particular range of pipe sizes. A tri-wing screwdriver can only be used on one type of security screw,

I believe that is Great Neck, and they are made in China now ( NOT this mechanic's choice)
