Re: Homemade Water Pump Wrench
Also, be aware that many of the better drill presses have a female Morse Taper in the spindle, and the chuck has a matching male Morse Taper shank-it is held in place by friction only.
This works...

Re: Can a sticky cutout be repaired?
...and yes, if it is an original cutout, it was made to be adjusted and rebuilt if necessary. If you can;t get it working, I could do it for you.

Re: Update on Dim headlights & Repair
When you get 6V on one side of the bulb, what do your read on the OTHER side of the same bulb?

Re: Update on Dim headlights & Repair
Put the stock bulbs in, and measure the voltage from ground to each side of the bulb.
Then do the same with the halogens. This will show you where the voltage drop is occurring.
