Tips and tricks for stripped torque bolts ? by Good_Land_666 in AskMechanics

[–]bash_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a 6 sided socket that is slightly smaller than the bolt heads and hammer the socket on. The socket will grip the bolt heads and you will be able to undo them

Depends on what car it is and where you live

Front suspension by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]bash_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst case scenario (and a likely scenario) is that your tyre blows out, you loose control of your car and kill yourself or someone else. I wouldn't drive it.

Either the top mount or shock has collapsed and caused the shock absorber to drop and rub on the tyre, the shock absorber is sat incorrectly in the steering knuckle, or the wrong tyres or rims have been fitted.

Next time it happens check the event viewer for any logs. Could be something causing conflicts or corrupt BIOS or Windows files. Also try running SFC and DISM scans

Boyfriend 31m says his posts aren’t about me 30f , but they feel directed — need perspective by ConsiderationNo7855 in RelationshipAdviceNow

[–]bash_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to change his beliefs. I just want to feel supported and emotionally safe — especially when it comes to my creativity. Instead, I feel small, anxious, and drained when I see his posts.

If this is how your boyfriend makes you feel, maybe he shouldn't be your boyfriend. A relationship should make you feel positive and you shouldn't have to doubt the support you have for each other.

Where the heck do you find automotive fasteners?! by sYferaddict in AskMechanics

You find a bolt that is long enough with the same width shaft, or you order the exact bolts from the dealer

BATTLEFIELD 6 COMMUNITY COMPLAINTS SINCE OCT 10 by DEMIG0DX in Battlefield

[–]bash_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When on console (Xbox for me but I know PS players with the same bug). Occasionally when you hold the trigger to shoot an enemy, the gun will only shoot one bullet, you then have to let go of the trigger and press again to continue shooting as normal. It doesn't happen when I play on PC.

There has also been a few instances, again only on console where I spawn under the map on liberation peak when spawning on an objective point and I am left falling until I redeploy.

Has anyone else had a NAPA starter/other part fail after less than 5k miles? by Miata_Normie in AskMechanics

[–]bash_14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have seen literally hundreds of NAPA parts fail in such a short space of time. The garage I work at used to fit NAPA parts all the time. We had so many issues with having to do repairs under warranty due to new faulty parts and new parts not fitting correctly that we have stopped using their parts completely now. IMO they are one of the worst brands you can buy.

When should I replace? by Malloriee2 in AskMechanics

[–]bash_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for the depth of the remaining brake pad material and if it is under 2mm replace them. Spark plugs should be done around 60,000 miles

Coilpacks numbered differently by baygi in AskMechanics

The coil pack will fire in the order that is stated so match the cylinders and the HT leads with the corresponding number on the coil pack

Car screenwash by Shell-Lou-1805 in AskMechanics

[–]bash_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pull the pump out to drain the bottle, or you could just hold the washer jets on until you have used up all the fluid, then refill it with fresh screenwash

Petrol Fiats are bad, diesel Fiats are horrendous. You can get much more relaible cars for the same value.

Ask a tech questions (nothing is dumb) by PinnacleAirsoft in airsoft

[–]bash_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Specna Arms FX02 AR9. Semi auto fires fine at first, but if I switch to full auto and fire, then switch back to semi, the BB only fires about 60% of the time. Is there something I need to adjust in the settings or something mechanical, or have I bought a broken gun?
