haha of course
yea math is possible with practice it is all about building blocks and layering things on top of each other very useful
pretty much. each new thing requires a tool from before
the real debate is between metric and SAE
and iq. but thats the elephant in the room
LOL
well i used metric as a mechanic solely
mercedes benz after all
but i like my ft/inches ounces/lbs
that's whats so funny to me in the air force I used nothing but SAE but now when I'm working on cars (American cars) it's all metric
lol yea they switched several years back. now the snap-on guy gives SAE sets away for free with metrics lol
you ever notice that certain size sockets or allen keys are unavailable to the general public
specifically the 9m allen key socket and the 1/1/16th socket
also the serpentine belt tool
fucking garbage
lol well you can always order them online. mercedes suv's now use an 11mm hex for their caliper bolts
9mm huh
lol
thats the beauty of working on non transverse mounted engines, the belts are rriiiiight there
all of those things can be ordered online...
/flex
11 is better than 9 still gonna cost you over 20 bucks which is horse shit but yea you can order them off amazon but then they get delayed 2 weeks meanwhile you can't drive anywhere
oh it totally did. but its worth it. when you get paid 4.5hrs to do front/rear pads and rotors
pays for itself in one job
well home depot has the 9m allen key socket..
$30/hr flag rate
for 30 dollars morty
bust that shit out in 30 mins too
thats over priced af
what my flag rate?
idk what a flag rate is
are you not a flat rate tech?
no sir
oooooh
ok well when youre flat rate. you get paid per labor hour times your flag rate
so i would get paid $30 * 4.5hrs to do that brake job
I was a 2A651 in the air force and since then I am cazy drunken asshole
so $135 for about 30 mins of actual work
oh damn thats nice
i was a dealership tech
