So i went to autozone

[spike68]

I saved myself a bunch of money on tools to change my wheel bearing.
Rented a torque wrench and socket from autozone. I also bought 2 bearing pullers from harbor freight.
Brought all the stuff back when i was done. Got all 150 bucks back :)

They have pretty much every random tool needed for most jobs. Except a fuckin 32 mm spanner wrench for the fan nut.

get the cheap chinese 32mm wrench from harbor freight (comes in a big set for like $10). it's cheap and thin, so it fits perfectly.

Or get a 32mm bicycle wrench from REI, also around $10.

I was doing a search for just 32 mm spanner and that was all in the 30-40 dollar range. I'll deff check out rei. I new some shit for camping anyway. Thanks!

I got an adjustable Kobalt wrench from Lowes when the water pump on the e28 shit the bed out of town. It was like $5 and fit perfectly. Keep it in the trunk just in case.

This was all because Advance/Auto Zone didn't have anything that would fit.

$10 for one wrench that's not useful for anything else, or $10 for a whole set. hmm. :p

you sound like someone who just discovered the internet.

How does me not knowing about the rental service at Autozone make me seem like i've just discovered the internet? Not really seeing the correlation.

Rental service has been known about for some time, especially by these cheap yucks.

I'm going to be in the need of a torque wrench soon, you know if they'd lend me one of those? Or would you recommend i just buy one anyways, seeing as how it's needed on a bunch of things?

you need to buy one!!!!! there is not a single wheel that I ever put on a car that does not get torqued- call me over cautious or whatever you want, but I have never had a wheel come off a car SINCE i bought one.

People actually use torque wrenches on wheels? I was gonna rent for suspension swap.

just joshin ya man!

I just had to poke fun when you started a thread because you discovered something that I guess I had assumed everyone knew about, like being able to rent movies for $1 at red box in Wal-Mart for example.

Hahaha yeah yeah! I'm pissed because I have an adjustable but it's too damn thick to fit in there with the screw driver.

I don't like Autozone. They always try to add on stuff when I'm checking out and they take forever to attend someone. O'Reilly's guys are much nicer and seem to care about what they are doing. Yes, loaner tools are a bank saver.
