How to replace the front steering cv joint on an 2004 oldsmobile alero

Can faber-castell permanent markers be used to make designs on cloth that must be washed in the washing machine?

The best way to know for sure is to try it - it may be dependent upon your choice of detergent and the chemistry of your water.

If it's three-phase, swap any two source wires. If it's single-phase, find a fan blade with the opposite twist.

How to replace battery on black & decker SZ360

I found a 1200mah 3.6v NiCd pack at BatterySpace.com for $10.99 each, the lowest shipping cost was FedEx Ground at $13.04 so I bought three of them, I'm sure I know some others that will need the other two. The quote 5 days to ship, in case they need to assemble them from individual cells. The only issue is that I probably will have to modify the tabs to match the wiring in the scissors body, I'm sure Mr Dremel will come through for me on this point. Black and Decker is most certainly *not* the best place to look, they have an exploded-view diagram of the scissors but have discontinued all parts for this model. Van

Edging a worktop

The best thing to use is contact cement or super 77 spray adhesive. Put either one on both surfaces, let dry, set it back on and use painters tape to hold on for 24 hrs.

Belt slips on Stanley belt sander model H-31A

On most belt sanders the back wheel or the idle wheel has an adjustment on it, loosen the bolt that goes through and slide back. Some have an adjustment screw that will pull or push the idle wheel. That should be on the inside of the wheel.

My strimmer linekeeps breaking,what am i doing wrong

It sounds like you have it in a knot on the inside and when it gets hot it will melt. Or you are to close to a fence. Or you are using old line.

My bht150 bostitch is jammed

First slide off the rubber grip This will expose a pin that you will need to remove. Remove the two bolts on top of the hammer with a 10mm wrench. These bolts hold the striker plate guide. Place the hammer in a vice to lightly compress the hammer head. Remove the allen head bolt located on the end of the head. This bolt holds the striker slid that strikes the staple. Remove the pin that you see that was under the rubber grip. Just tap with a punch and then you should be able to remove it with a small set of pliers. Now slid the enter assembly back just enough so that the jammed striker slid will come in contact with the striker guide face. Turn the hammer over and strike the top of the hammer on a piece of wood. This should free the slide and jammed staple. The staple and slide will come out. Take a file and deburr the slid and add a dab of grease to it. To reassemble, Attach the slide guide first, but leave it loose. The rest is reverse order. Hope this helps.

Nail Gun support

Yes, because there is less risk of splitting the wood grain when using a nail gun than when using a hammer, nail guns are especially useful in delicate projects such as the application of indoor trimming. A nail gun sets the nail in one motion, reducing the chance of slips and bumps that can ruin delicate woods. Most models also include a rubber safety nose to protect the wood from friction.
