Trunk tool kit - what can you fix?

[nando]

true.. but you don't have to remove the reference sensor. you can just uplug it from the harness to move it out of the way.

why do they call the slip joint pliers waterpump pliers? I've always wondered that

I restored my entire monte carlo from the ground up with my e30 trunk tool kit!

LOL! In the earlier days of my E-30 I used the toolkit to fix other cars that I owned also.

What's the hardest fix you've ever had to do with your E30 trunk toolkit?

I'd have to say changing out the serpentine drive belt on my camaro. The 13mm crescent wrench in conjunction with the spark plug wrench and that steel rod gave me enough leverage to push back the tensioner pulley.

I have also used the wrenches to unbolt the entire brake caliper from the spindle. I didn't have enough leverage to break the bolts free so I put the 15mm wrench on the bolt and started hammering it loose. It worked too! Those wrenches can take more of a beating than craftsman wrenches.

i need to get a convertible socket just to fill that cavity - having it look incomplete drives my ocd up the wall !

^^^ What exactly is that piece used for? Does anyone have a pic?
