...really simple but helpfull techs. if you've ever tryed to explain to the zit faced kid behind the parts counter that you need a radiator hose with (x bend = y bend), and you even give him a hose and explain that its gotta be a little longer here, and at a right angle there, and he stands there scratching his ass just not gettin it, this will help. Purchase a piece of aluminum flexable heater ducting tube bend it to your desired position and take it on in for him to match up. This has worked for me everytime.
Next, a vary simple trick my dad taught me but if youve ever been in the situation where you needed a that little extra torque, but didnt have a long enough wrench you'll know what i mean. Simply grab another wrench and inter-lock the openend with the box end and you have that extra torque! Note... (only works if your using the boxend on the nut or bolt). I hope my illustration comes up otherwise you'll just have to try it without.
