   JH> Kewl! Just got the Haynes manual for my Escape with hopes to do more work   
   JH> on the car. I had lost a lot of stuff during my divorce when I lived in   
   JH> Maryland. Trying to retool here. Can you believe it? My ex took my   
   JH> sockets when I was not in the house. Claimed she didn't know anything   
   JH> about it. Now I have to get a new hydralic jack and jackstands etc. Got   
   JH> some nice new sockets both metric and SAE. Can't find my one man brake   
   JH> bleeder either.   
      
   I have been slowly accumulating more and more tools.  You can never have too   
   many.     
      
   It is rare that I have to replace calipers, so having the wife pump the brake   
   while I bleed the caliper isn't bad.  :)  Having an entire car lift would be   
   really nice, but they are also really expensive.  I have the hydrolic jack,   
   many jack stands (both car and truck).  I could use one for my motorcycle.  I   
   had borrowed a friend's motorcycle jack and used it - as a combination with my   
   hydrolic jack to lift my entire bike.   
      
   These days, I find that using a combination of RockAuto, Amazon, and Ebay for   
   parts (depending on what I'm looking for) has been a winning combination. Ebay   
   for the particulars for a vehicle, and RockAuto / Amazon for the new items.
