If you have never engaged in self-
auto repair in phoenix, but would like to try
it, you should take into account several non-obvious, but proven life
will take.
1. The keys are always lost. Somehow, the most vulnerable to the
carob in 13 - do not know with what it is connected, possibly with the
"bad old" number 13. Therefore, all keys must have two pieces, and
carob at 13 - no less than three. In addition, the nut with the lock
nut of the same size will put the owner of a single key in an awkward
position.
2. If you're sitting in a hole, and urgently needed a key, he will be outside, somewhere on the bonnet.
3. Any car will certainly have at least one nut (bolt), which is
not podlezt open end wrench and do not wear a head butt. How it managed
to twist at the factory - the great mystery. In the domestic car of
nuts more than any other. For example, in the "classic" is the bottom
bolt starter, or a few bolts oil pan - those that are directly above
the transverse beam, or ... But you never know them there! Maybe better go to
az auto body shop?
4. Nut of paragraph 3, you can still unscrew. Do not ask me how -
but the stubborn people who have nowhere to retreat, will certainly
find a way. (A lower bolt starter, once unscrewing, not bolted back -
well, starter and the two remaining well kept).
5. When disassembling virtually any site will certainly find at
least one nut (bolt), which refuses to get out, that it may do. Subvert
the verge of nuts, provernetsya stud, Oblomov prikipevshy bolt ... This
does not mean that you have some particularly Krivorukov - so the world
works.
6. On the basis of paragraph 5, it is necessary to have a diverse supply of fasteners to replace the damaged. Experienced
mechanics of such a reserve accumulated by itself, but a beginner will
have to flee to the nearest automobile for one unhappy nut.
7. Nearest automobile will be closed.
8. Once you ran into neblizhayshy shop for a nut, surely ruin
another. So do not rush to the store - first disassemble everything to
the end and tally the losses.
9. Once you've had too much drag line in the store, then take the
nuts with a store - they cost a penny, but next time will be useful.
10. Putting refurbished unit, not in a hurry to delay the most
difficult nuts, first make sure that the node after bulkhead is
functional. It will be easier to disassemble all back when you are sure
that something squander. For example, when replacing clutch in the
Cornfield "is not tightening the upper bolt boxes, which have chosen
the construction of two extension cords with kardanchikami - then you
will not be sorry to see at the edge of the pit forgotten Clutch
release bearing.
11. If the node does not leave, do not rush to take up a
sledgehammer and crowbar - most likely you have not noticed a small,
but harmful bolt.
12. No crowbar and sledgehammer still do not get along, especially in the case of domestic vehicles.
13. The most difficult stage of work will be not one you expect.
14. A cheap instrument, let us make these troubles that you ever
zarechetes save this money. So you'd better not even try. For example,
Chinese key with proslablennym maw necessarily srezhet face to nut it
is in a place where no prosunesh from Bulgaria or gaykorez.
15. In the garage foul even the most seasoned and intelligent
people. Without these spells, you just do not unscrew, it is checked.
16. So do not take the garage of women and children, even if you
need an assistant for trivial operations like pumping the brakes. Just
to anything so much to expand their vocabulary. And pee ajar for
vorotinoy somehow easier in single-sex company.
17. In preparation for repair, try to include all operations, and
all that you can destroy in the process. For example, when replacing
picayune working cylinder brake pipe will certainly need a long key,
and a very high probability of fracture of the tube. Both are worth a
penny, but if you have not thought about it beforehand, you will
certainly make sure that ... see paragraph 7.
18. The optimal number of repairmen - two. Many operations can not
perform alone, and three people will only interfere with each other.
The main thing with this - to begin drinking after final assembly, and
not before. Exception - winter maintenance in an unheated garage.
19. Do not lay up tool until you are sure to fully operational repaired node. Bad omen ...
20. If you have a "heavy" tool to correct their own mistakes -
Bulgarian, welding, drill, extractors, keyless pliers, a chisel and
gaykorez - that is, the probability that they will not need. If they do
not - certainly needed.
21. Nuzhnyj puller necessarily be lost, even though you "just know
that he was lying here ...". If you spit, and buy new, then there is a
missing immediately. For example, fasteners for the springs I had three
sets of ...
22. Giving "he borrowed" his instrument - the surest way to lose
it. Invent advance convincing excuses not to quarrel with neighbors in
the garage. For example, a friend of mine redid the whole power tools
under the exotic three-contact plugs, and apply it somewhere other than
his garage, it was very difficult ...
23. Changing the oil, be sure oboleshsya hot practicing, but lose
it in the drain plug receptacle. Do not worry - it is an integral part
of the process.
24. Expecting "quick fix easy breakage" you will certainly find a
couple of serious failures, which could not have imagined. For example,
innocent replacement brake pads can identify:
a) Current working cylinder.
b) Critical wear the drum or disc.
d) play in the steering traction.
d) leaking gland axis.
e) Damage to anther drive.
g) stretch parking brake cable.
h) ... but you never know what else ...
Therefore:
25. Any repairs always goes longer, harder and more expensive than you expected. However, it is not just a car repair with ...
Unexpected conclusion:
If you do not plan to engage in repairs fairly regularly, and
going to "shake up the car once or twice, it is better to throw this
idea out of my head. "Economical" self-repair has been greatly
exaggerated, if not a regular hobby. Even a very unassuming at first
glance, domestic cars, despite the jokes, it is impossible to fix with
a sledge hammer, pliers and famous mother. Many beginners do not
represent the mechanics of how many absolutely necessary tools they
need to buy! And how much all this will cost ...
The minimum set of basic necessities - Bulgarian, drill, welding.
And if anyone thinks that this is necessary only inseparable trinity
kuzovschikam, he has obviously never faced the death zakisshimi bolts
and pulled the meat studs. I quote an example: a simple operation - the
replacement of the front bracket streamers ( "crab") on the domestic
car type "chisel" (2108-2115). Brackets these siluminovye and get the
wheels in good pit burst, saving the body from damage. So the change -
the operation is quite commonplace and seemingly very simple: three
bolts and a large nut. But if the nut streamers requires only a
powerful key to a strong vorotkom and reinforcing tubes (otherwise it
will not budge), then the longer bolts vkrucheny in mortgage nut
contained within the lower cross member body. They are enshrined there
thin iron flange and bolt is a little rusty, easily frustrated with
bindings and begin to rotate freely. Lock them is impossible, they are
inside the boxes, and it was here that without the power tools you will
find yourself in a silly situation: the bolt is released, so can not
go, and it can not unscrew - rotated. What? Grinders we cut a bolt,
drill drill a hole under a repair sleeve, welding sleeve that welds. Subtotal - Replacement trehsotrublevogo "crab" demanded tool to twenty thousand. In
auto repair shop phoenix you will take no more than a
thousand for everything.
