Since you started it all. I also have a stupid question:
This one is about sandblasters: If I get one of those pressurized
Sandblaster systems, do I still need to get a powerful air compressor?
Thanks,
Antonio

Subject: [oletrucks] stupid questions
Ok folks time for my annual stupid question from a non-mechanic. I was just
trying to get my running boards off and, of course, the nuts are really
rusted. Now the ruts are square and are in a deep channel...how do you get
them off? I tried a socket, but none seem to fit well enough to turn them
without stripping the corners off. I can't fit an open end box wrench on
them, the channel is to narrow and deep. And the old standby, Vice Grips,
is
to big to get in the channel. There has to be some secret for getting
running
boards off, but I haven't found it. Help!!!!!
Second question isn't so stupid. I'm thinking of changing my rear gearing.
Has anyone ever changed out the gears? I read in a suppliers catalog that
you
can buy a kit to upgrade the gear ratio, but being mechanicly challanged I'm
a
little leary of doing this by my self. Second option is to change out the
rear clip with another, but I'd rather leave my transmission in place and
just
be able to pull the old and drop in the new. Is this doable? And if so
what
type of rear clip works?
