    Put a socket and ratchet then put a pipe on the ratchet and push down with all your weight. Make sure you have the exact size socket.

    One of the balancing weights. There should be weights on the edge of the wheels to balance them. Occasionally one will fly off while driving.

    I'm thinking a about getting a 98+ 4x4 ranger. It'll have to have an extended can and I would like to have the 4.0. All of the jeeps I've looked at have had oil leaks. It seems to be a common problem in the Cherokees around the mileage I'm looking at.

    I want to have more interior room than a ranger can offer. Also I want the better mpg of a Cherokee.

    I'm thinking about looking at ford explorer sports. Does anyone have experience or opinions on them. Most jeeps are sold or too high miles that I can find.

    things to bring when looking at a used car.

    Well considering that at the end of the year I won't have the school shop to use I will most likely just do brakes even if the car dosent need then right away while I have the resources to do it by myself. Than I wouldn't have to worry for 60k

    things to bring when looking at a used car.

    ive been bringing a flashlight and a rag with me. ive found some problems already and have looked at 2 jeeps so far. still no look. jeeps are high enough off the ground that i dont need a floor jack to get under them.
