For $5, I can give you a hug and a cup of coffee... Can't compete with the wife =P

Blow it out with compressed air or nitrogen. Replace evaporator, dryer, all o-rings, make sure to vac that sucker with a vacuum pump for at least a half hour once you establish a good vacuum. Also be prepared to replace the oil charge since you're replacing the compressor. The condenser usually on t...

Can’t be a lot of torkx on 7mm, that’s the size I snapped off inside the cam holder. I've found anything critical I replace hardware on now. Why? Like you, I snapped off a bolt on a cam cover/cam bearing on a Ninja 650 and spent several months trying ever more creative (dangerous) ways of removing ...

I'm guessing the pump was done, but with whatever the local big box store had for cheap. I always replace the pump when doing timing belts. It just seems like too cheap a step not to do compared to the unlikely damage and cost to fix it if you didn't. I always use Volvo or Aisin for the pumps. I bel...

I know a guy who forgot to chock his wheels, jacked a '99 V70 XC AWD 2.4T with plate CWG-#### up and didn't put jack stands under. Car fell on jack. Owner was irritated. Owner of jack likely was as well but was kind about it. Jack got bent =( Moral of the story, always chock wheels or gravity will e...
