A Little Money Saving Tip

If you ever need some of those plastic fasteners ( what I call push pins) that hold various parts of the car together , try Lowes. I picked up two packages at an O'Reilly's the other day that cost $8 and some change. One package had two in it and the other one had four. I later went by Lowes and found in the fastener area about the same item for $4 and change for two packs of two.

I've found lots of useful "car" items at Lowes / Home Depot. Always worth a look.

The 36mm thin wall 12 point socket for the hub nut? Can't get it at any auto parts, but Home Depot has it!

In our small town we have a Lowes, Tractor Supply, and Atwoods. I had to buy a 36mm socket and turn the od down on my mill.

That’s great tip. The dealership seems to think those are made of gold
