      Jack up the wheels a little bit off the ground. Heck they don’t even have to be off the ground. Just jack up the car just right before the wheels come off the ground, and then those bolts will come off way easier.

      Dear fordnut...
      👍👌👏 You are absolutely right, Sir! I stopped watching Puddin's fab shop some time ago and long before that VGG. They think they're funny but all they do is making the same bad jokes over and over again and additionally making fools out of themselves. I simply don't let them steal my time any longer. If you have seen some VGG videos, you've seen it all because it's always the same. Largely overrated channel. I don't count in Sleeperdude but unfortunately the whole family are getting less understandable with every video (talking flat, through the nose, sounding like chewing gum while talking, weird dialect pronunciation, omitting letters or even endings). Although I love 2 of their channels, I fear that I have to quit watching in the future because I simply don't like to have to concentrate so hard (often subtitles can't understand them either). I highly recommend NNKH.
      Best regards, luck and health in particular.

    My first car was an 85 s10 blazer with the 2.8. Got it for 2500 bucks. All I ever fixed was the vacuum lines and one of the windows fell out of the track and eventually shattered. If I tried to find one in half the same shape it probably be 15-20k now. 15 years ago some drunk ran me off the road, she jumped a ditch and slammed into a tree 65mph. Took it like a champ for her final ride😢. Glad to see someone showing some love to one😊

I know it's inconvenient, they fog up and get in the way but it's not worth losing your vision at your age. I had a close call doing something similar myself, shrapnel would've been 1 inch closer I'd be out an eye. Wear it before you realize you needed it!
