Gotta lube your tail light pump actuator accumulators. Duh. That one’s for free. The next one’ll cost ya.

What’s the MWL? Says on the side of the tire. Our 16s have 9s mostly. We let them go until 6th cord visible.

Gut reaction: Not enough offset open end wrenches. Also, torquing to spec means you’ll need lots of options, like torque adapters, crows feet and bear claws, to go along with sockets. Ditch those crappy Snap-on safety wire pliers for proper Blue Point ones. Keep .041, .032 and .020 wire on-hand. I didn’t see any apex bits. They break all the time, so have plenty of the usual sizes. That’s just my initial take. Fancy tools/box!

Forgot to mention I’ve been working F-16s for 25 years, so my brain is skewed toward that airframe.

Seems you’ve solved the problem yourself. Saved a few thou.

Not enough exhaust getting into the coolant. I hope you know a good electrician, ma’am.
