    i work on TiKi myself if i can! im no mechanic so given space...lack of lift and specialty tools.....i can only do so much. so i have to take the cars to a mechanic for some stuff. i got ripped off bad last time. i was on my way to work and my master cylinder for my clutch went (this is on my f150). the mechanic knew he had me by the short and curlys so he demanded $300 for the repair...i had no choice. if i didnt have to drive home that night id have pushed it to pep boys a couple blocks away!!!!
    i was told by a ford dealer that the repair should have been $160 max!
    im still sore over that..

    anyway...i just found this site tonight....a must for your bookmarks or smart phone

    Once my wife was out and the porcelin of the sparkplug blew out. For some reason there was one in the trunk. My wife changed it on the side of the road with needle nose pliers at a toll booth. I have bought tools to do the job at times too.

    BTW the hard part about a master cylinder isn't the putting it in it's darn bleeding. It can be a pain alone. let alone outside in he cold.
