Will I need extra/special tools to clean out the bolt holes under the car? Or will a bit of WD-40 do the job?

If it's just dirt, a wash will do. But if you have corrosion in the welded nuts, the best way is to get a tap and clean the threads. Otherwise you run the risk of cross threading.

Just some lube. The 2 large bolts into the frame were a bit tough. Had to work them in & out quite a bit before I got them tight.

Sorry I can't answer that question because I didn't put it on the suv that I no longer have.

Dear Nann, I am not a mechanic. So my requirements are not stringent. I used a small Porter Cable pancake compressor, to remove stubborn bolts off a car and mower. The air impact does get them off. I had been attempting for days to removes these bolts. I tried PB blaster, with no avail and this unit saved me hours of work. I would not use for torquing down. I use a torque wrench, to make sure each bolt is torqued to its specification. Hope this helped. I would recommend you contact Ingersoll Rand and ask what minimal pressure is required for these units. Especially the Air rachet. Dear Nann, I am not a mechanic.

Yes, 4 quarter 20 bolts and washers, would be easier to remove gas tank , on my toro 724 anyway

On my 2009 CRV, I didn't use a drill. I used a round file to open up the holes just a little bit.

I would use standard automotive bon do for the holes. This works great on wood for nail holes, but I don't think it is as strong as regular bondo. Regular bondo is not that expensive, trust me and do it right.

Another tool is needed. This will just do the compression. A stripping tool can be acquired for very cheap on Amazon.

I have the plastic below it and cut 1/8 square for the receiver. No plastic makes it easier, and should leave you a good 3 to 4 inches. Place all the bolts with the fish eye and if you have a floor jack balance it and carefully jack to the bolts but not all the way. Maneuver the hitch into place with the bolts and use your foot to lift the jack handle and slowly raise one pump. Then make sure they all line up and then once more. You should be able to thread the bolts slightly. Then crank into place and torque down. I didn't have air wrench but did it with a 3/4 inch drive torque ratchet. 20 minutes once you unpack it from the box. No drilling on my ram was required. 06-07 have to drill. Keep the bolts in one pocket and the washers in the other.

If your factory rack has a slot down the middle that you can slide flat top bolts into it's tool less. If you have to use the universal adapters I think you need an Allen wrench or screwdriver.

A vacuum should work, but ideally you want to not over stuff it with anything that might cause a hole.

No special tools needed! Just find a spot on your car like your roof or trunk lid and make sure that your roof or trunk lid is not plastic so that the strong magnet will attach . If you install it on your roof run your CB wire through one of your door frame and behind your plastic panels going down to the dash and then under your dash. If mounting it on your trunk lidmake sure while you have the anttena mounted that you give enough space for the trunk lid to open and close also give some extra slack in the CB antenna wire then run the wire under trunk lid and through trunk and under the carpet of the car and up under the dash then plug into the back of the CB and have some fun !

yes you can, but this tool it NOT made for that!!, if you need a impact to really remove rug nut get the next size up- which in turn has heavy internal parts made to remove rug nut and more. this milwaukee 2653-20 its really made for screws and bolt nuts, and maybe light work on car only-- very light work. ok

This is a "replacement" antenna and would typically go on top of a fender "ridge". If you do not already have an existing hole in the car's fender (or elsewhere on the body) then, yes, you will need to drill a hole. You would either need the appropriate "hole saw" or you could drill a smaller hole with a 3/8' to 1/2" twist drill and then "hog" the hole larger using a round file or a powered rasp or carbide grinding bit.As a side note, I did NOT install this antenna on my truck because this piece of Chinese junk came with the swivel screw attached so tightly I accidentally broke the antenna trying to get it out. Check that before you go drilling any holes in your car!Good luck. This is a "replacement" antenna and would typically go on top of a fender "ridge".

Yes, there is a specialty tool that jeep recommends, but if you are a bit crafty, regular pullers will work. That's how I got mine out.

It is recommended to remove the head, however I used it still on the car and it worked fine. If you have a deep reach it will be more difficult. Use a lot of lubricate grease it will help get the shavings too. I used a small tube vacuum attachment to my shop vac and sucked all filings out of the cylinder chamber, they go somewhere and it is there where the filings will be. Do your best to get them all out, a simple air hose blow does not get them . Instructions how to use it are pretty good and you should have no trouble, just go slow and back it off a little each turn to keep threads clear, example turn 1 turn , reverse 1/2 turn, forward 1 turn reverse 1/2 turn, etc. Try to get high temp Loctite to hold the insert in , mine unscrewed the next time I removed that spark plug.

A hammer drill set on hammer with a flat chisel works better with less dust. Follow that up with a heavy duty hand floor scraper.

if its a dual overhead cam engine it should do the job but you will need 2 of these tools

A drill to make holes for the bolts and Phillips #2 (I think...it's been a while since I installed mine. I've purchased two more for my sons) screw drivers and something to hold the nut while tightening the bolt.
