OK, I'll admit it......I enjoy wrenching on the Porsche.

Trouble is, I keep making the fundamental error of assuming its going to be fun wrenching on other cars = WRONG!!

Just had a most frustrating time wrestling with a simple brake pad job on Janet's ancient Probe. The 14mm caliper bolts defeated me. Tried gobs of WD-40, and torched them to cherry red, and still only managed to budge 1 of four. Dammit.

Wait....does this mean I need, no must have, air tools? Surely a decent 90 degree impact wrench would have got them, right? Think I'd better run right down to the store and buy some.

That is a very well reasoned purchasing decision.

Tony, that's right neighborly of you to buy us ... er ... you some air tools! You go boy!

With my luck the impact wrench would just rip off the head. Probably cheaper to replace the whole caliper. :shock:
