BTW...

I thought the Schrader valve remover tool was quite cool and would be handy. anyone know how to make a home made one? I heard someone mention using brass brake line. is this right? would be awesome to add to my drill gauge tool 

Get one bought. I'm sure the slapon man will sell you one, won't be less than a tenner.

  Nar, fak that. they taught me these fabrication skills. my aim is to now make all my tools 

You're not going to be a proper mechanic till you're in debt to slapon for a few grand. Our Tony's toolbox alone was £800 second hand.

on a serious note, I only realised the other day after reading this thread back again and a throw away comment from someone at school that mechanics have to provide their own tools  I mean, if you work for ford you have to upply the tools? I wud have thought a big company like that would have provided them

You have to supply your own, and a home-made valve remover is not acceptable.

Yep He's already spent thousands on his tools and he's not out of his time till this June. Oh and don't forget a slapon furry hat and trainers, you'll never get taken seriously without them.

I've spent thousands on my tool, but you should see it now. 

[Webby the Bear]

yep no worries mate. they said if the disc screws aren't there, pop two lug nuts in to secure it 

....

yet more Americanisms         

on the run out I did was on a pug 206. the maximum run out spec is 0.05. this one had 0.20  would this (what to me is a small amount) really show itself during braking in the form of steering wheel vibration?

0.2mm/ 8thou"? Yes, you'll most definitely feel that much

Do you mean the gadget to unscrew the valve core? They're dirt cheap, although I've made a couple as I needed them late on a Sunday evening. One is from 1/4" hex bar, and is for use in multi tip screwdrivers. The other was turned from a length of 1/2" brass bar, knurled on the end, and with a slot cut in the other end. Worked great, took up no space and looked cool - which is important for home-made tools! Wish I hadn't lost it somewhere.

One born every minute plus the slap-on warranty on the tool boxes is not the best

I've told him time and again Mark but his dealer turns up every Wednesday with the van. He's not been spending much lately as he's at college on Wednesdays till he finishes in June.
