Wheel hub damage — threaded wholes stripped out. It is also important to tighten lug nuts or bolts incrementally to the final torque specification and doing so in the proper sequence.The graphic below shows the three common bolt patterns and tightening sequences, appropriate for most automotive ...
There are several wrench size possibilities but the two most common are nominally 3.2mm (same size as the Park Tool SW-0) and 3.5mm (same size as the Park Tool SW-2) when measured across the flats. When determining what wrench to use, it is best to use a caliper to determine the ...
(Click on image to see animation) Inline - The cylinders are arranged in a line in a single bank. If you have read How Car Engines Work, then you are familiar with the concept behind the four-stroke engine. Car engines arrange pistons in three typical patterns, as shown here: (Click ...
It is important to exercise patience and avoid applying excessive force, as this can cause further damage to the lug nuts or wheel. There are several methods you can try to apply. Each method has its advantages and limitations, and the appropriate approach may vary depending on the specific ...
3. Wiggle the brake caliper back and forth to help loosen it from the rear brake rotor. Make sure the mounting bolts are pushed out of the way while lifting the caliper off of the rear brake pad retainer plate. Once loose, support the caliper using zip ties or bailing wire, (Do not...
Just as there are several kinds of potential energy, so there are different kinds of kinetic energy too. When a thundercloud releases its electrical potential energy as lightning, giant sparks fly from the sky to the ground. A bolt of lightning is a huge electric current (flow of electricity...
The rake angle defines the cutting edge and provides a path for chips that are cut from the workpiece. The primary clearance angle is the angle of the land of each tooth measured from a line tangent to the centerline of the cutter at the cutting edge. This angle prevents each tooth ...
together, as if the fireworks are the grandest thing we’ve seen. Everything tonight is bigger than it should be. The moon seems too close now, so big and so bright the stars fade beside it. I smile to hard, and my back teeth are probably showing. Gaylene is turning in wide circles...
The slider (22) carries a rotatable toothed wheel (24) which is pressed against the threaded shank of the expanding bolt (12). The tips of the teeth of the wheel (24) are covered with paint supplied through a pipe (26) from a pump (79). The wheel is rotated before being pressed ...
The next items to make patterns for are the bow and stern keel plates, the caprail, and the baseplate. Start with the base plate. Take your rib patterns and measure the “flat” width at the bottom of the ribs. For all ribs with a flat spot at least 3/8” wide and that touch th...
