what if mesh guard for MAF sensor is missing? by [email protected]

1987 Buick Park Avenue brake release lever, by [email protected]
Just got a phone call. Someone's brake release broke. The cable came loose at the unseen far end. The main thing is to undo the brake and drive the car back to the garage. A brief google search came up with nothing. Any idea of whether there is a pawl under the hood I can poke with a stick? Nils...

Organize Sockets by [email protected]
What is the best way to organize about 100 sockets (1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drives) in the 20" toolbox I carry in my car? (The Lisle plastic trays take up so much room in my toolbox that there's little room for my other tools).

FWD cars ruin brick paving? by [email protected]
My wife has a friend who has been doing brick paving for about 20 years. I asked him why you see so many brick driveways that have spread out after a few years, was this due to the soil or just shoddy workmanship? I mentioned that Indianapolis racetrack was once brick paved, and it stood up to the...
