Hey guys! Thanks for letting me post this here. This is the next episode in my daughter's journey in rebuilding her Fiero.

Just a couple of things to note... the engine is already back from the machine shop, and we're a couple of videos behind... but we work on them together when we have time...


Thank you for watching!!!

Tried commenting on YouTube, but for whatever reason it didn't go through, so I'll do it here!

"Interesting stuff about the old trivia.
New trivia: custom wrenches up to 60" overall length, that's 5 feet!

The largest combination wrench I had as a heavy duty mechanic was 2" but our shop had 3 or 312" wrenches. A lot of the time we would cut wrenches out of 1/2 or 3/4" plate for some of the really large nuts/bolts. Your daughter is doing a really good job on these videos.

Thanks Sleek, I appreciate it. She's really enjoying this stuff, and lately she's been able to meet a lot of people, and see what a lot of different people do for careers. She wants to be a computer programmer like her dad, but I told her she can be whatever she wants, as long as she puts in the effort. But my goal is to expose her to a lot of different things, and let her decide. She seems to be really enjoying this...

Nice video, I don't know about large size dog bones but once we got around 2 1/2 & larger we were using slug wrenches.

Just curious did you hear how the shop got the broken stud out?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Stingray, I forgot to ask... my assumption is that they probably welded something to it, and then used a LOT of heat.

He chased all the bolt holes with a tap too.

Thanks for the response, yeah watch the heat too much is not a good thing.
