TOOLS, TOOLS, TOOLS- A perfect gift, A colloquialism for a Douchebag, And an excepti

[fehler1977]

For the Love of the legacy, we all spent our fair share of time under the hood and under the car he's great vehicles do maintenance work and sometimes creating work just for the hell of it. So, I wanted to share a few tools that I have found to be very useful and I must have for this legacy. Feel free to add your own tidbits of to knowledge to this thread for the greater good of the legacy.

 

Left to right

 

1) So, it's not really a tool, but they are a great shrink tubing product at a good price. Harbor freight doesn't do a lot right when it comes to tools, but these shrink wrap tubing ferrell's are second to none. They are waterproof, tough as s***, and they are soldat a great price. That whole carton cost $5 I believe. If you were to buy that same carton at O'Reilly's, it would be 3xs that much and not waterproof.

 

2) This offset narrow space combo tool has become my new favorite MVP of my toolbox. As you guys probably all know, the Subaru engineers didn't give us a lot of room to work with in there sometimes. This offset apparatus is also magnetized so it will hold things in place when you need them to. It was perfect for replacing the 7mm screws on my THV sensor on the turbo side of my 05 legacy.

 

3) this tool is nothing new, but I have never seen this arrangement of the offset hinge pin halfway up the flyer. This allows for maximum opening of the jaws with minimal movement at the handles. surprisingly, there's very little torque lost at that exchange, and they grip very well. This is my second favorite tool working on my legacy due to all these small pieces that fall into the abyss when you're under the hood, hot, and frustrated. this little gem always reach down in there and pick these small parts up and tight places no problem. I use this phone all the time for various reasons. It's made by crescent, and it's a little on the pricey side. About $15 to $16 for this set of pliers, but we'll worth it.

 

4) This one I'm especially proud of because it's not really a tool but something I came up with the other day. This is nothing more than a piece of vacuum line from the turbo system in the car. What I do is I will take small bits or sockets or pieces of hardware and shove them into the end of the tubing to hold them into position. Now you have a tight gripping, flexible, movable, bendable fastening medium that you can tighten by hand (I've never had a piece of hardware or a bit fall out on me yet). You'll still have to use your primary tool to do the finishing touches of the tightening process, but it will get you started without having to worry about it falling off of the magnet or spinning out of one of those snake flexible neck drivers. Plus this cost about $0.10 to make and you can use it for a variety of different applications. It works perfect for small screws in tight places. IT'S ALSO VERY GOOD AT GETTING THE SPARK PLUG THREADS STARTED ON THE 2 LEFT AND RIGHT, BACKSIDE CYLINDERS.

 

I hope that I was able to help someone out somewhere along the way. Feel free to add your own little homemade tools or gyms that you found along the way to this thread. I would love to hear what you got.

Hi

I am a new member of this forum and I hope to get a solution to my problem

My english is not excellent so please help me in simple language

My 2005 Subaru Legacy has a 2.0 engine

The car started very slowly, between 2000 and 3000 rpm

And very bad when hilly

When the battery cable is disconnected for a period of time, the problem will disappear and reappear after a short time

Did not give errors in the scanner

The specialist could not know the malfunction

He did everything necessary and we did not find a solution to this problem

Does the rear brake lights have anything to do with this malfunction or the exhaust muffler?

Please solve because I am tired of trying and spending money
