Then feast your eyes on the modification I made to the "remove my spinner with one finger thread" by making the removal tool not only portable but it's capable of putting close to 5,000 ft/lbs down on that spinner. Yep, the more things change the more they stay the same.

I'd like to see the end of the tool in a few more shots. I have the same alum tool for my knock offs.

I had my machinist cut it and grind it to fit an impact socket, and was using it with my impact gun. But adding a torque multiplier to the end of it made it portable.

Mickey Thompson's and balancing with weights on the outside? Are we stuck in the 1960's?

Seriously, how many times have you posted that pic?

In a word, yes.

Well I only got the torque multiplier a couple of weeks ago, so maybe twice I guess. But the original thread was back in 2018. You're probably thinking of that. Here: I Can Remove My Spinners With One Finger

Sheesh, what, I'm back for like 3-4 days? Folks, let's NOT go down the rabbit hole.

Here's the old rabbit hole, from 7 (2015) years ago, which in the OP states that the subject had been around a decade before that thread.

Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

BTW, here's the 3rd post in that 2015 thread posted by me:

The alternative is Patrick posts another "How To...But Who Really Gives an S" thread?

And Patrick actually did it/this again in this thread.

Hey, did you miss the thread where Ellie helps me put a tow hook on my car?

Can I Dangle My Car in the Air from the Quick Jacks Alone?

Did you photoshop the orange cone on your dog's head or is she actually wearing the cone?

You installed a RED tow hook on the front of your ERA? Oy.

Coming back from the bar, how often do you drive into a ditch where you need a tow truck to yank you out?

BTW, I'd think about repainting the ERA all red, but with a beige tow hook, I think the car would look much better.

[patrickt]

Wait... you also missed the "oil diaper" thread where Ellie helped me use oil-only absorbent material to finally stop that pesky drip. You gotta hand it to her, she's a genius dog. Here's that thread, a little down from the top. FE vs Roush vs Blueprint

Seems one of his future upgrades must be a matching beige tow hook... he just needs to get the paint mixed and dip it!

And I love the orange doggie party hat!!

[twobjshelbys]

Wow, this must be a record. I think there are at least three separate hijackings in this thread. And at least as many attempts [This one included )

Ellie's, the one that kept Patrick from painting the hook beige "Good Girl Ellie, Good Girl"

No she insisted that it be red. Which is kind of strange with dogs being color blind and all, but she knows best. She did fab it so it was easily removable and a little plastic plug goes in the hole. Somehow I think she knew that RodKnock would want one, but he would want to keep it in the glove box and only put it on when he needed it. Here's a pic of the quick jack with the plastic plug in the hole and Ellie heading off after a job well done.

Glove box? You might as well buy one of them pink VW convertibles.

But you love the craftsmanship; I know you do. Go ahead, say you do.

Maybe, but it's tough to judge, since I have to shield my eyes from that "eye-popping" beige paint.
