For measuring precision tolerances in less than 30 seconds, handy to have a set!

Here are the 2 most sought after tools in the world.
Lou and Griz have been talking about them for awhile now.

... Muffler bearing

Thanks Jammin777,
This is one of the best tips ever & they both have to do with the VTS.
The one about the power window motor to replace the VTS motor is right up there too.

A little late to post this, but here's the lil' f'er.
However, nobody gets to look at like this, apart & upside down on the bench.....Still don't understand why the manual calls for lubricant on the threads rather than loctite.
For something that is known to get loose & leak, it seems odd to me.........

Lubricant, eh? I like the loctite idea better.

I'm going to make a new topic about that. I want to be sure a few things in the manual are still considered "correct"
"Now back to our regularly scheduled program.........."
Consider me old school, I don't use air tools at all. Well, only to remove lugnuts on wheels and that's if I forget to loosen them before I put the car up in the air. Everything else is all hand tools. With air tools you can't feel when something binds or is getting tight on the way out until it's too late. I have a 3/8 air ratchet brand new in my tool box, probably almost 20 years old.

I never use air/power tools to turn fasteners as a general rule, except impact type for stubborn and/or difficult/frozen/corroded stuff but only as necessary, it takes more time than it's worth and I can't feel if the threads are binding or galling nearly as well.
Go look for a set of those low profile 1/4" drive pass-through nut driver sockets with ratchet, I still have my old Hexcel ratchet and a couple of new(er) Kobalt type, the new(est) pass-through design looks pretty good though. I use a 1/4" drive set quite a bit, often with universal joints and long extensions to reach into tight areas.
Air ratchet is handy if you have a lot of low(er)-torque fasteners to deal with, like on a production line.

I use a 3/8" stubby air ratchet, from guess where, Harbor Freight. Nothing like it for removing air box bolts.

Oh yes I love using an air ratchet, especially when removing the air box and carb stuff. I can remove the carbs in 3 minutes using air tools lol

Thanks for the input. HF has a little 1/4 drive stubby that I think I will try. I didnt realize how cheap they are, so if I dont use it.....no big deal. I am very anal when reassembling things, I always brass wheel my threads clean and when ever possible tap out the thread and use a torque wrench.
What got me thinking was I was taking the lock nut off the exhaust flange on the spx and it took forever because of the long threads sticking out. Maybe I am just getting impatient or lazy.......probably both.

Yep, even if you don't want to use an air tool to assemble, it will still save a lot of time during dis-assembly. I know HFT gets a lot of flak, but I have found they have great tools for the money. I've had the 3/8" stubby for 3 or 4 years and except for the rubber cover coming off it's worked flawlessly.

Sure, no problem just come on down, I'm sure Nick won't mind. LOL, I think you have Tonka and I confused.
Not really, I was just reaching a bit.
