10 PM Got my tool in the locker. I was curious to see if i could do the job with it so i jacked the car and pulled one wheel. One of the lug nuts was loose though i torqued it myself a few days ago.
No i can't. The length of the neck specified on Amazon was 4.5 inches and the real length is only 3 1/4 from rim to rotating axis and i think 4.5 would have worked. Because the one with 6 inches which i ordered in the first place had bad reviews that i read after i ordered but was able to cancel it.
But even with one of those i don't know if i can do it. The space is so hard to reach even with fingers, i had to use a forceps to pick the socket after it separate from the conventional ratchet as seen in the picture. I did not untighten any bolts, except the lug nuts.
All i can now do is return the tool and get the first one back.
Numerous people and cars came to parade in that half hour. However before i took the picture a van with dealer plates SEA PORT came in the empty space (i think it belongs to Nr.4) where the stinking Chrysler and black BMW is usually parked featuring bright white lights of which some were reaching me. They were two women inside looking like sumo wrestlers with samurai coques but kinda bleached, staring provocative at me.
So i started so stare back and one of them made a gesture with both hands, like asking, what? I went then for a short test drive and they were two trucks flashing yellow and red lights and a car in front of mailboxes that were almost blocking the alley.
11:08 I went outside to check where the dog poop smell comes from. I stepped on a couple of holes next to hydrant. The van with SEA PORT dealer numbers came again to shed a light on me so i just came back inside.
11:28 Given what i've shown so far i would not expect less than 400 at any shop, with my parts. I saw a video with brave Arab mechanics taking apart the cross member just to get those (BTW most of the stuff they're doing like hammering the stuck steering parts in my book spell... don't do that!, there's a cheap tool that can do it in about the same amount of time, especially with a pneumatic power wrench).
Why do i need it so badly. You go and drive on I5 south of Tacoma with less than 75 mph and semis will start passing you which is no fun at 2 AM when you're half past dead tired. At that speed, in that place with those shot it feels like you are going to jump to orbit.
BTW just remembered something. A jet crashed on a freeway in Florida, a small plane here in California. Just posted about vertical landing, California helicopter crash, bumpy freeways etc..
11:58 Both Angela and i are very irritated after they open a working point replacing the floor at at an apartment 30 ft away. The hammering, which is most of construction work in the US, released insulation dust from attic and walls which is very irritant.
