You have a relative that owns a tunning shop, what do you need a mechanic for?

 

so my uncle says to just bring my car in the garage tomorrow, my mechanic probably did overtightened it, reason why i hated going to him. I'm going to just stick to doing my own work and relying on my uncles help. i used PB/Hammer technique but got damn not a single turn. hit my knuckles 2 times, a little blood, but I'm still alive.

how could it be so fucking tight. he will use an torch and heat it, better him than me, dont want a broken bolt.

you see i go to him for lil stuff, i cant always bother my uncle since he is always busy man, he doesn't charge me so its paying costumers first and then if he has time ill go see him, mom doesn't want me to bother him too much, but yeah he installs the bigger stuff that requires more time, the lil shit i will do or go to the asian guy (my 2nd mechanic). but no longer going to him cause of the shit he does. this is the 3rd time i could not get an bolt loose cause of him and his over tightening.

 

Do it once. Do it right. Do it yourself.

 

yea thats what i should have done when i got the car back in June. I'm taking way more care about my car, no more mechanics for me man. except of course for my uncle.

Saint louie??

What shop does he work at/own???

I go to ballwin auto next to the taco bell by new ballwin road. They are awsome. When other shops say no to performance mods.....this shop says no probs. WIll charge actual labor too.....not just book value. I usually do most stuff myself but sometimes don't have patience or the time.

 

He works at Adrenaline Motor-sports and Co-owns Honda's "R" Us. he plans to open a shop in the city sometime in 07'. nice to see another HAN member form the Lou. would like to see that shop you talk about but balwin is about 40min from my house, hate to travel that far.

 

not to insult you, but make sure you are turning it the right way. It's always a little confusing when are working from behind the bolts...

 

lol yea i know what you mean, I'm sure that I'm turning in the right direction, so don't worry I'm not a dumb ass.

 

My same bolt was a bitch too. I used a bunch of WD40, then found the exact sized wrench and snapped the back of it onto the bolt. Then i hit the wrench a few times with a hammer until it broke loose. **IF it's spinning, you have to connect another wrench to that little rubber spring-like bushing that wraps around the threads of the bolt.

 

tomorrow morning its going to my uncles, I'm off tomorrow so i should have all day to work on it. i hope he can get that damn bolt off.
