Can I just… vent. About parts and not even obscure parts
So our 86’ standard is my wife’s daily driver. And by that I mean she drives it about a half a mile to and from her job. It’s needs an oil change. So I’m like no problem I’ll take care of it. Get underneath with my 14mm and the fucking oil bolt: too large. Fine. I get a 13, it’s STILL to large but it’s too large like “oh shit this is going to strip the bolt, what the fuck?” Go and get a 12 just to be sure I’m not going crazy: “nope too small.” So now I’ve got a fucking 1/2” bolt on a Toyota.
WTF. They make these? So.. I go get a 1/2”. It fits. Fine. I turn.. and the fucking thing rounds the bolt corners like butter.
Are you fucking kidding me? So im trying to think: ok.. you’ve changed the oil before when was the last time. And the last time was when I switched the oil pan about a year ago..because the old one was done.. and that was a huge pain in the ass.. but I recall 12 mm bolts securing it.. but fucking 1/2” oil pan bolt? I’m supposed to secure this with metric AND then imperial sizes?
What: that fuck.
So now I’ve got to take my vehicle to get oil changed and hope they can get this fucking bolt off.
And yes I tried both vice grips AND swearing at it. Fucking piece of shit…. Anyways I’ll see you all tomorrow. ❤️
