Jack Stands

how hard is it 2 replace a rack and pinion in the driveway with regular jack stands?

I probably would need about 4 jack stands or more. Give me some advice.

Some cars you can remove and replace the steering rack without having to remove anything else, all you have to do is put the front wheels on ramps, chock the rears and have at it.

Others require either removing the front crossmember (and half of the suspension with it) or the engine. In that case, you can still do it with the correct jackstands under the chassis, to support the car and the engine and transmission, and any other heavy parts you need to loosen and move out of the way.

If your car is the first case, it should theoretically be possible to remove the old rack, set the new rack to the same length as the old one, fit it up and drive the car around.

In the second case, you are going to need some aligning work done.

Jack Car

Is a car jack for a classic GTO specific to year?

I know it sounds silly, but I don't know.
Do you have to buy a jack for a GTO specific to the year? Like do I need to look for a '70 GTO car jack, or just any Pontiac car jack?
I know it sounds retarded, but I was told by quite a few people that Pontiacs have to have car jacks made specifically for them.

if your looking for a original jack for a 70 gto i believe the base and the pole part of any gm car is the same but the part that goes onto the bumper is different as the bumper shapes are different try and find some one in the pontiac oakland club they will know

Emley Moor transmitting station

History

The current tower is the third structure to have occupied the site. The original 135 metres (443 ft) lattice tower was erected in 1956 to provide Independent Television broadcasts to the Yorkshire area. It was replaced in 1964 by a taller 385.5 metres (1,265 ft) guyed mast (identical to the structure still standing at Belmont in Lincolnshire).

Mast collapse

Emley Moor has been used as a transmission site since the earliest days of TV transmission. The first permanent transmitter to be built there was an ITV transmitter, covering much of the North. It used a 135 metre lattice tower, which provided only limited coverage. The performance of the site was improved in 1966, in anticipation of colour PAL transmissions, when a 385 metre guy-supported tubular mast was erected, constructed from curved steel segments to form a 2.75 metres (9 ft) diameter tube, 275 metres (902 ft) long. This was surmounted by a lattice section 107 metres tall and a capping cylinder, bringing the total height to 386 metres (1,266 ft). At the time of its construction, it was one of the tallest standing structures in the world. It was designed by BICC and manufactured by EMI.

The cylindrical steel mast regularly became coated in ice during the winter months, and ice also formed in large icicles on the guy wires, placing them under considerably greater strain. The guy wires passed over several small roads, and thawing ice caused a falling icicle hazard. For this reason, red warning lights were placed on the tower for use in times of falling ice, with notices posted on the roads near the guy wire crossings.

On 19 March 1969, a combination of strong winds and the weight of ice that had formed around the top of the mast and on the guy wires brought the structure down. The Duty Engineer wrote the following in the station's log book, demonstrating that this failure of the structure was completely unexpected:

Day: Lee, Caffell, Vander Byl

Ice hazard - Packed ice beginning to fall from mast & stays. Roads close to station temporarily closed by Councils. Please notify councils when roads are safe (!)

Pye monitor - no frame lock - V10 replaced (low ins). Monitor overheating due to fan choked up with dust- cleaned out, motor lubricated and fan blades reset.

Evening :- Glendenning, Bottom, Redgrove

1,265 ft (386 m) Mast :- Fell down across Jagger Lane (corner of Common Lane) at 17:01:45. Police, I.T.A. HQ, R.O., etc., all notified.

Mast Power Isolator :- Fuses removed & isolator locked in the "OFF" position. All isolators in basement feeding mast stump also switched off. Dehydrators & TXs switched off.

Wreckage of the Emley Moor Mast, which crashed in March 1969, strewn across fields.

The collapse left sections of twisted mast strewn across the surroundings of the transmitter site and across several small local roads. Although one of the falling stay cables cut through a local church and wreckage was scattered all over the transmitter site, nobody was hurt in the collapse. The noise was reportedly heard for several miles. The collapse completely disabled the BBC2 UHF transmitter and the ITV VHF transmitter, leaving several million people without service. BBC1 VHF Television transmissions continued from the nearby Holme Moss transmitter. The ITA owned a collapsible emergency mast, 61 metres tall, and it was quickly moved to Emley from the ITA transmitter at Lichfield so that some service could be restored. ITV signals were restored to 2.5 million viewers within only four days. The BBC provided a mobile mast on an outside broadcast van, which was used to restore a restricted BBC2 colour service within just two days. The ITA bought a larger temporary mast from a Swedish company. A crew of Polish riggers, with Jozef Miciak (1925 - 2008) in charge, were hired and a 204 metre mast was erected in just under 28 days at a cost of 100,000. However, this mast was only capable of holding one set of antennas, so many viewers in outlying areas still could not receive colour programmes. The taller mast was brought into service on April 16. Some weeks later, the BBC erected a 91 metre mast, improving coverage.

The accumulation of ice was generally believed to have caused the collapse, but a committee of inquiry attributed it to a form of oscillation which occurred at a low but steady wind speed. Modifications were then made to similar masts at Belmont and Winter Hill, including the hanging of 150 tons of steel chains within each structure. None of the modified masts has collapsed.

After a series of temporary masts, erection of the current concrete-built tower began in 1969 with UHF (625-line colour) transmissions commencing on 21 January 1971 with the older VHF (405-line black & white) system coming into operation on 21 April 1971. Local residents did not wish to see another mast on Emley Moor, and so a departure from normal designs was called for. The new structure consists of a curved pillar, 275 metres tall, constructed of reinforced concrete, topped by a 55 metre steel lattice mast which carries the antennas.

Emley Moor Tower viewed from Bretton Country Park, at a distance of approximately four miles.

A section of the collapsed tower was converted for use as a racing control tower at nearby Huddersfield Sailing Club.

The structure

The structure is a tapered, reinforced concrete tower. It is the tallest freestanding structure in the United Kingdom at a height of 330.4 metres (1,084 ft). Reaching the Tower Room at the top of the concrete part of the tower at 275 m (900 ft) involves a seven-minute journey by lift. The antenna structure above this is a further 56 m (184 ft). Its foundations penetrate 6.1 m (20 ft) into the ground and the whole structure, including foundations, weighs 11,200 tonnes. It was designed by Ove Arup and Partners. When it was built, it was the third-tallest freestanding structure in Europe, after the Ostankino Tower at 540 metres (1,772 ft) and the Fernsehturm Berlin (current height 368 metres (1,207 ft)).

The top of the tower is 594 m (1949 ft) above sea level due to the site's elevated position on the Eastern edge of the Pennines.

In 2002, the UK Government declared Emley Tower a Grade II Listed Building of 'significant architectural or historic interest'.

Ownership

It is owned by Arqiva, previously the Independent Broadcasting Authority Engineering privatised as NTL Broadcast.

Broadcast details

The Emley Moor tower broadcasts BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1 Yorkshire, Channel 4, Five, six digital television multiplexes, three digital radio ensembles and two independent local radio stations (Galaxy 105 & Real Radio) over an area of approximately 10,000 km. It is the main station for some 57 relays and repeaters throughout Yorkshire and the surrounding counties. In July 2007 it was confirmed by Ofcom that Emley Moor would be remaining a B group transmitter after DSO (Digital Switchover). DSO is due to take place in September 2011.

This area has always been important for RF (radio frequency) transmission and from the foot of Emley's structure both Holme Moss and the Moorside Edge Transmitter are visible. Both of the latter are within ten miles (16 km) radius and are SW and WNW respectively.

Repairs and alterations

Over the years, the structure has been updated with various dishes and aerials. This reflects the changing nature of communications and technology. The most visible changes are on the outside of the tower. At both the top and bottom of the tower, further supporting structures have been attached to accommodate the dishes and aerials.

The BBC reported in July 2006 that for up to two weeks, the tower was liable to broadcast analogue and digital signals at a lower power than usual, or to be shut down between 0900 and 1500 BST on weekdays in late July until the 4 August. This was to allow aircraft warning lights to be fitted to the tower and repairs to be carried out. The repair work was estimated to affect around five million homes; however, a spokesperson for National Grid Wireless announced that the work had been scheduled around major events.

Viewing the tower

The tower is not open to the general public. However, there is an observation area just off the main road that runs past it.

In popular culture

Poet Simon Armitage wrote a poem about Emley Moor to accompany a short programme about the tower on BBC2 in the 1990s.

What's the approach if a person stands up in one's guard?

The guard is a position where you're on your back with your legs scissor locked around your opponents waist. Such as with grappling or wrestling. I'm asking this question for someone else: But he also states that one of the weaknesses of the position is if given time to post (by pressing on your chest or the floor) your opponent can begin to stand up if they chose to do so.

depending on the situation, i dunno why someone would stand up in someones guard. that has never been taught, but it the guard is tight enough then he shouldnt

Jack Tire

Old moral/saying/story, guy needs a tire jack, it ends up being a moral for not worrying ahead of time?

I heard this saying once, but I can't remember how it goes.
It's something about a man who's car broke down and he needs to borrow a tire jack, but on the way he thinks of all these things that could go wrong. . . and the morale ends up being not to worry about things so far ahead of time.
Anyone remember it in detail?

There seem to be a few different versions. Here are two websites with two different ones:

Popular Online Casino Games

There are many people who are interested to play the casino games. Some of them are aware of the games they like whereas others are fond of playing the online games that they can avail in a casino they find. In this article you will learn about the various type of casino games that are commonly played in casinos.

As you already know, not all people have the same taste. So you can find different type of games just installed to appeal the taste of every visitor.

First of all I will categorize the online casino games according to their popularity:

The First Favorite
Blackjack – This is a serious card game, mostly played by people who are interested in playing with their minds. However let me give you a brief idea about how the game is played.

When you begin to play blackjack, your target will be to win this game by making a hand worth 21 points. A hand that counts 21 is a sure shot blackjack. But remember, if you exceed 21 then you loose, generally known as busting. Face cards like Jacks, Queens and Kings will be counted as 10. But the naughty Ace will sometimes act as 11 and sometimes 1, depending on the hand.

The Second Favorite
Poker – To play poker you need to understand the value of the cards and the various hands. But as a beginner let me tell you how the cards are valued. The highest valued card in poker is Ace and then comes the rest in descending order like King, Queen, Jack, 10, and so on to 2. Other than the face cards all the rest are counted on the basis of their face value. But all the suits are of same value. For example, a 2 of spades is equal to a 2 of hearts. The game has multiple variations and almost all the variations of poker are equally famous.

The Third Favorite
Slots – To play and win this game you don't have to be an extra intelligent person. Most of the time it is treated as one of the fun games. You can play it in both online casinos as well as terrestrial casinos. To play it, all you have to do is pull the handle located at the side of the machine and wait for the machine to display the result. If the images in the rows are all identical then you win a jackpot. If you still cannot understand how to identify a jackpot, then don't worry about it. The lightings and the music will tell you all. Amongst all the casino games, slots are known to generate maximum revenue for all casinos.

The Fourth Favorite
Roulette – This is another lively game, mostly played by people who just want to spend some time relaxing and refreshing. The roulette wheel is generally crowded, where a ball is rolled in after spinning the roulette wheel. This wheel is divided into either 37 or 38 sections, sometimes including a single zero and sometimes including double zeros. The croupier announces the winning number by placing a dolly. Though it is a noisy game, still it is enjoyed by each player.

These are just few casino games that I have listed on the basis of their popularity. However, there are many such games that might be your favorite.

Several questions regarding Ch. 3 and 4 for Call of the Wild?

I have several question about Call of the Wild by Jack London. They are all questions in Ch. 3 & 4.
1. What actually happened that started the first fight between Buck and Spitz?
2. Why did Spitz go out of its way to snarl at and bully Buck?
3. What took place in the middle of the fight that stopped it.?€
4. Why was the Thirty Mile River considered to be their hardest part of the trail?
5. Before Dolly chased Buck, how did she let it be known that she has gone mad?
9. How did the breaking down of dogs' discipline affect the dog team?
10. What did Buck do to Spitz that meant certain death for his old foe?

9.-- the dogs began fighting with one another

10.-- As they fought, Buck pretended to go for Spitz’s shoulder and broke his leg instead.

Rise Lifts

The Benefits of Wheelchair Lifts

Wheelchair lifts, as the name suggests, are devices to lift people in wheelchair up a flight of steps or even a single step. In the latter case the wheelchair ramp is the less expensive and more feasible solution. Also called platform lifts, wheelchair lifts are also used in wheelchair accessible vans and other vehicles. Here again the wheelchair ramp would suffice. The benefits of wheelchair lifts enable them to be adapted for varied purposes for the disabled, including climbing truck cabs to operate heavy equipment.

The benefits of wheelchair lifts are clear in that they eliminate the need to lift the wheelchair and place it into a vehicle or onto a higher or lower plane. The cumbersome procedure can be eliminated with the wheelchair lift with the individual just having to pull up his wheelchair to the platform of the lift and be lifted up or down. Then he just needs to pull away! Individuals with disability can’t possibly think of anything more convenient. It’s a big shot of confidence for them, provided the places they wish to go and the vehicles they travel in are equipped with the wheelchair lift.      

Here’s another of the benefits of wheelchair lifts. There is just about a wheelchair lift for every purpose. Platform wheelchair lifts are of the solid and folding platform kind and also come in automatic and semi-automatic versions. In an automatic lift a switch takes care of the lift’s folding, unfolding, lowering and raising, while in a semi-automatic wheelchair platform lift one needs to manually fold and unfold the platform. Electric wheelchair lifts are easier to maintain than hydraulic ones. The former can be custom-fitted with telephone jacks and automatic door openers. The benefits of wheelchair lifts can be best felt with the electric ones that include home stair lifts, automobile lifts and van ramps.   

The advantage of home stair lifts is that they can be installed inside or outside the house, and aren’t cumbersome at all. They don’t take much space and are quite and comfortable. They can generally rise 23 feet and carry up to 350 pounds though they can be designed to carry more weight. The benefits of wheelchair lifts are that they come as automobile lifts as well, as said before. These can be fitted to vans and cars. Van ramps aren’t actually lifts but are spring-loaded and can be folded and stored.

As more and more disabled Americans are getting increasingly mobile thanks to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, the benefits of wheelchair lifts will be felt more and more.

What does 'a rising tide lifts all ships" mean? Can u use this idiom to make a sentence?

thx

It's just saying that when the tide rises it isn't going to affect just one ship. it with lift up all of the ships that are there. Like in church the saying is " the spirit of God moves on the just and the unjust" In other words If the spirit of God is moving in a church the sinner as well as the saint will feel it. So you can use it in any given situation. If something happens... it isn't going to affect only one person... but it will affect everyone that is there.
for every action there is a reaction.

The jack itself seems pretty sturdy and is definitely a huge upgrade over the flimsy scissor jacks that come with most cars. My only real complaint is that the casters (the smaller wheels that pivot) don't roll very well, which doesn't get in the way of operation but does make it harder to move around. The paint chips pretty easily -- a few pieces have flaked off where the handle and jack connect -- but I don't know that I'd expect more at this price.

Needs to go a little higher

Very sturdy and easy to use...just wish that it would jack my 2004 Civic up a little higher for more working room under the car.
works fine

As with the other reviewer, I use this for oil changing (with jack stands) and for rotating tires on a small car (Honda Fit). Both this and the Wilmar jack stands work as advertised and seem very well made. For those who have not used a floor jack: when you get it you will need to back off the hydraulic valve with a screw driver a few turns and pump the handle a few times to disperse the hydraulic fluid. Do not get carried away with either the valve or the pumping or you will lose fluid. Then tighten the value and pump it up. If it goes up OK you have done well.
Works well

Use it for crawling under my cars to change the oil. Does the job nicely.

Which jack should I get?

I have lost the spare jack that came with my car and I am thinking about buying a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to work a lot on my car (underbody, tire rotations, brakes, etc..) and I also need one in case my tire goes flat on the road. I have tried a bottle jack, but even the smallest one doesn't fit under my car. Would a floor jack be good? Should I also buy a scissor jack for my trunk or can I put the floor jack in the trunk? Thanks.

You can buy a small floor jack that is easily put in your trunk but also purchase a couple of safety stands and use these any time you are working on the vehicle that way you have the means to lift the car and a safe way to work on it Lots of luck !!!!!!!!!!

Great Tips on How to Organize Your Garage

A lot of people use tend to use their garage as a workshop, a place to enjy their hobbies and even a place to hang out with friends to relax and unwind after a long day at the office. In order to maximize the potential of your space in your garage, you should create some structure and organization. This can go a long way towards reducing some of the clutter while creating extra room for all of your favorite pursuits.
For instance, if you install cabinets, workbenches, shelves, hooks and baskets you will be able to stow items away in a spot that is convenient and out of the way. It is important that you map out exactly how you want to use the space in your garage before you start. What items do you want to store in the garage? How can cabinets and shelving units be used for storage? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you organize your garage more quickly.
Examples of common items that can be easily stored in your garage are cars, tools, lawn equipment and bicycles. Don't limit yourself by only considering storing these types of items, as you will only deprive yourself of space that can be used to store a variety of other objects such as holiday decorations, toys and seasonal clothing.
If you have a garage that is smaller in size, you may want to consider using the upper walls and ceiling of your garage. Many people do not even consider using these areas for storage as they are difficult to reach. There is a simple solution to that issue, use a ladder, pulleys or a hydraulic lift to help you raise objects into the elevated areas. This will help to free up additional space within the garage.
Before you being the organization process for your garage, it's a good idea to sort through all of your items and decide which things you are going to keep and which items you are going to get rid of. A lot of space can be freed up by simply tossing out items such as unused object and broken toys. Another great idea is to hold a garage sale or donate the items that are still in good shape to a local charity. Make sure that you use common logic to organize the garage; keep dangerous items locked up and items such as tools that you use on a regular basis in an accessible location.
Following these simple steps will help you to create a pleasing space that maximizes the potential storage space of your garage.

'96 RAV4 Wheel Bearing - part+2.5 hr. labor fair? "harder" to put on?

I was told by the garage (not someone I normally go to, so not sure how trustworthy) that my '96 toyota RAV4 (almost 150K mi) needs the left front wheel bearing replaced to pass inspection. they estimated $65 for the part, which is about what I found online. But, they told me it is a labor-intensive job to fix, and would take about 2.5 hours. They said that this particular kind of wheel bearing is "closed" so it's not something that can just be repacked w/ grease, and that it is a tight fit and requires some sort of hydraulic something-or-other to fit it on tightly and accurately - not an easy -to-fix wheel bearing like other vehicles. True? Not true? Please help quick! I need to tell them whether or not to do the work this morning, and I'm trying to get other estimates. Thank you!!

There might be one more suprize the drive flange with the wheel studs can wear away at the bearing when there is slack. Hydraulic Press is used to drive out the old bearing and press in the new one. You might call the toyota parts department and ask if they also sell flanges when wheel bearings are replaced. Yes 2.5 hours is the going price and your mechanic will come out looking like he did something. Front suspension under the fender is the dirtiest place on the car.

Floor Jack

Should I buy ramps or buy a floor jack and jack stands to change my oil? Or just pay to have it done?

When using Mobil one for a oil change...the oil change places charge double of other oil change services..so after an initial purhcase for ramps or a jack I'll definitly save money in the long run...Or is it just a pain to do, so have it done with enviromental concerns etc.

Nah, oil changes are easy, dude. Most shops, including Jiffy Lube, routinely screw up the oil change and forget to add new oil or sometimes forget to replace your drain plug.
Go to your parts store and get a drain pan, some good oil (Mobil, Valvoline, etc.), a good oil filter, oil filter wrench for your car, rags, a socket and ratchet that fits your drain plug. The ramps are my fav, but always buy jacks/ramps that are rated higher than the weight of your vehicle. You'll save lots of money and peace of mind 'cause you know you did it right, dude.
My best time is about 10 minutes or less. Always check everything when your done, start the car and run it at about 2,000 RPM for 15 seconds (builds oil pressure), let it idle a sec, turn it off and verify oil level and that there are no leaks.

Insert Jack

Could I use a modem to connect my Xbox 360 to Xbox live into a seperate phone jack then the computer's?

My computer is upstairs, but my TV and Xbox is in the basement. There is a phone jack down there where I could insert a modem and I don't want to buy a wireless router because of the price, so will a modem hooked up to the basement's phone jack work for Xbox Live? And will it interupt my internet connection on my computer?

yes and yes. but if you have a router you can just buy an ethernet cable and run it to the basement
TIP: if you go to walmart's website the price of a 100 ft cable
is only 10 bucks instead of the usual 50 due to a mess up.
