10.00 brake pressure bleeder. The pressure part is a 6.00 Dollar General plant sprayer. The clear tubing came from the hardware store..The pressure cap is a piece of scrap aluminum plate with a hole drilled and tapped for a barbed fitting.I glued a piece of rubber to the other side and clamp it down with strap iron, all thread and old exhaust springs.

2 tools here. A piece of steel rod I had laying around and a piece of scrap strap is brake pedal depressor.The second is a piece of plate with a hole with a socket through it and welded.You put your breaker bar in the socket and put pressure on it smack the plate clockwise or counter clockwise with a hammer, for that really tight stuff.

A piece of square tubing a scrap of flat plate, and a tire machine duckhead.Because the junk mount bars they send with the manual tire machines won't pull a tire on and I don't like prying them on. IT'S SOMEBODY ELSES TURN!!

A 13 piece bearing race and seal installer, that you can take off nuts and bolts too. Okay I don't really have those, or any harbor frieght sockets.but I do use my sockets for driving in seals and races I just don't have a pic of my sockets handy.

Okay, not mine. I have a press and my bearing separator press, But I like this probably will make one for ball joints and U joints. Yes I have the big c clamp service press but think this will be more useful.
