I agree, it is a terrible write up. that's why it wasn't in the write up section with the "professional" documents. I didn't have 3 hours to dedicate to a full on step by step instruction manual, with pictures. also, I am beginning to think you are a troll. not that it matters much, as it is very entertaining and quite flattering to even consider the notion you'd put effort into such an act.


I don't think you are dumb. maybe toting some sort of mechanical inferiority complex on your shoulders, or possibly a fear of failure...a mix of both, perhaps? however, I can honestly say, I've had a lot of long nights jumping into repairs that *had to be done. a lot of us did things the hard way - long before forums like this and people as generous as these folks.


it surprises me, despite your infinite insight, wisdom, and general ability to foresee truth/deception in information (ie the tool debate, I agree 100% with you)...that you have yet to purchase something along the lines of a Chilton's or Haynes manual. those books have detailed step by step instructions, WITH PICTURES. do yourself a favor and purchase one, very soon.


for unknown reasons, simple tasks are very challenging for you. I don't think it's a lack of desire or ability. you are 1 of 2 things...1) a troll [and very good at it, I might add] - or 2) scared to death of thinking on your own.

 

Never heard of a pneumatic pickle fork.
Use a rubber mallet or hammer to get the shock off the lower stud. A little dish soap will help too.

 

I underlined the tools I did NOT need to replace my shocks.

 

I still think he could just cut the eye of the shock in two places... I don't see why not

 

It's an attachment that goes on your air chisel. I don't see the need for one....but they do exist.

 

Yeah, bring a half-done job to a dealership. I guarantee you it'll be more than $233. The techs are going to go over your work and probably replace the shock you just replaced.

You're in it $700 because you didn't use your brain. You could of been in the $100 mark if that.

 

Something else to remember. I'm not sure how true it is if BJ is a lawyer or not, as I've never heard it directly from him, but if he is, all of this makes complete sense. I go back to the statement I made earlier about not everyone being cut out to work on cars. He is not. But he seems REALLY GOOD at twisting words around to prove a point. Stick to lawyering if this is the case dude, and I will agree you are good at that. The rest of us will go back to working on our Jeeps and getting things done. And you can go back to twisting words and facts around to screw people out of money.

 

I'm getting ready to do all 4 shocks Tuesday...I'll set up a camcorder and post the video to YouTube. If this thread is correct, I'll owe the bank 500$, and the video will be up between 9pm and next thursday

 

best thing ever..... told him he won tard of the year..... has no idea why

 

lols

 

LOL, I'm making his awards as we speak. However, because they're certificates related to a Cherokee forum, they're extremely complicated and take way longer to do then any other car forum awards.


Bimmer, the Prius is calling.

 

....and right back to a special kind of stupid....

 

Better start planning now, might take up to a year to research and get halfway done...

 

Yeah, idk they're free awards on the Internet but I'm gonna put $700 dollars in when a professional quoted $233

 

That's a crock and you know it. As "Internet Liars", everything we type is a deliberate fabrication to make ourselves look like superheroes. Haven't you been paying attention?
