Got this bad boy at sears when my other impact wouldn't remove an axle nut. My favorite tool. Bolts fly off the car.

Finally got if off. What a pita! After getting a torque wrench the nut came lose right away. Then after some tugging on the wheel it flew off and whacked me pretty damn hard in the head lol.

After tinkering a little.....I fixed my high beam problem only to lose my low beams. FML.

So I finally figured out what is wrong with the 911. The switch that engages the high/low beam has gone bad. So I will get a new switched order along with a relay and hopefully get those puppies installed next weekend.


For this being the first time I have ever worked on a car doing anything mechanical, this has been quite an adventure.
