Was listening to an old CarTalk episode on NPR radio and they did the old "what is the 710 Cap under the hood?" BTW, No lie, whenever I turn on CarTalk, my German Shepherd Dog demands to go outside. Used to my wife and kids running away, but the dog? Everyone's a critic. Anyway, been trying to introduce the grandkids to basic car repairs and wondered if any of you knew of other "funnies" I could use?
Everybody's gotta start somewhere: first car and doing maintnenace, changing transmission fluid, see the drain bolt is a socket head cap screw (name I learned later), with a square recess in the head. I phoned up the dealership service department, ask if they had the "special tool" for this. Service writer wasn't sure, asked one of the mechanics, then tactfully explained to me, that they use a 3/8" drive ratchet wrench.
