Do You Have The Right Tool For Your X-Metal?

You must not drive a Ford if you've never heard this.

Correct, haven’t yet. I’ll get an old mustang one of these days, when I have enough time to be repairing it constantly lol

Great tips and glad I saw them because I was just about to buy a torx screwdriver myself!

Speaking of "right" tools... this was painful to watch.

Especially considering the price of a tune up from a pro is cheaper than a half decent meal. Sometimes you just have to spend the damn money.

A proper pin pusher is less than 100 if you're super inclined to do it yourself (but like you said you could get a complete tune up done for that).

Those are a bit tricky, for me at least , unless modified. A flat tipped pin is hard to keep on a rounded pin. Especially when its spinning. I filed the pushing pin tip flat, carefully punched it and drilled it slightly concave. Now it always stays centered with good purchase on the pin.

I use my Klein Tools precision screws when replacing the lens. Stripped screws are hard to remove when things go wrong.
