[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3684446, member: 27991"] My one problem with metric is engine size! Give me a 350, 427, 460, this 5.0, 5.8, 7.3, 7.5 BS doesn't sound right. Otherwise, just pick 1. Went to change brake pads on Wif's car. 4 wheel disc, 2 belts per caliper. Easy peasy. NOOOOOO! 1 belt is 7/16", the other is Allen head . Well, isn't that stupid. To get to it, need to turn tires. Then, turn the other way, to get to caliper on other side. Ok, just do it. BUT, the Allen head is *%%÷× METRIC! And NOT standard metric, but 8.5mm. No, tool set has 8.5mm. Good ole okie engingeering, have a 3/8" drive Allen 9"" and a grinder. Take a little off each side until you have 8.5mm. Or go but a Snap-On for $45. [/QUOTE]
