I found these out in the traditional male fashion: By complete accident. I figured i'd share them with you because the majority of experimental tools and procedures I attempts don't work and these stood out as the rare exceptions.

#1 "Flathead socket" - In situations where you just can't locate that 1/4" socket wrench because some unscruplulus person has moved it, Don't freak out. A Basic flathead screwdriver can be used as a substitute:


#2 Holding Socket - (better name on the drawing board) There's few things more annoying than trying to get a nut to go on a bolt that you can't see or that's in a tight area. Here's a solution: Wrap a single layer of electrical tape around the outside of your socket and then fold it in. This will hold nuts, bolts and if you're using a deep socket can also hold spark plugs:



#3 wheel assistant - Removing and re-mounting wheels can be a tedious process at best, but on rare occasion, you might accidently knock off a balancing weight (resulting in much frustration) Since most of us don't have balancing machines in our garage, here's an easy way to prevent this. You'll need a creeper or a small dolly. Loosen the nuts as usual and jack the car up with your floor jack. Completely remove the wheel nuts and position the creeper or dolly under the wheel (as shown below) Slowly lower the car until the wheel barily touches the dolly/creeper. Now you can remove the wheel without fear of damaging the wheel or anything else. Wheel mounting is just as easy.

 

interesting... Thanks for sharing!
