Safest bet is to just keep at it with a good strong brush or strip what you can and put it in the parts washer you can pressure wash the engine but one false move and you’ll be left with a dead engine and a load of headache.

Yeah there Sealey ones I believe and the clips get replaced with nicer clips if and when i wear them out.
I like the tool
I tend to run them all neat and laid out in there and then run another set on my service trolley with all my most used sockets 17mm alloy wheel socket sump plug sockets spark plug sockets etc.
Although I do love those socket trays in the vid they dont offer me the same flexibilty of the rail with some sets i have 1/4 to 1/2 sockets all on the same rail that and the fact nobody makes them here in the Uk and it’ll cost me $160 to organise my sockets

I use these socket rails for all my main sockets can swap out the attachments to put what ever you want into them or you can make your own with socket rails some wood and some some socket rail clips

Ouch those are some really harsh figures here a new tech fully qualified can expect to make about $27000 after are taxes it works out at about $1800 a month take home I might add that this is fully tooled up and able to use diagnostic equipment carry out warranty work etc really have to hit the ground running because they run 6 month probation so they’ll fire you with no notice for the slightest mistake.
After 26 years of working in a field to change to a field like auto mechanics is probably not the way to go the time it takes to become a well payed tech just wont work if you’ve got a family and kids to support and they’ll be plenty of younger techs who will work for less than you’re able to just for you to pay the bills.

I know this pain had my brother helping me do a slave cylinder and he managed to cross thread and strip the threads out which held it onto the gearbox.
With it’s location only way to get a normal tap and die on it would of been to drop the gearbox.
I ended up removing removing all the cooling pipes brackets thermostat to gain enough access to drill it and used a 4 point tap socket on an extension to run the tap into the hole,
For your situation if you have right angled drill you might be able to get away with using a tap socket and a drill to install the helicoil.

If you want them to last invest in a very good set the cheaper ones will only take a 1-2 off before they’re finished, also wise to look at how they work and the type of locking wheel nuts you wish to remove newer cars and high end cars can have some very clever locking wheel nuts that you cant remove with the standard locking wheel nut removers.

Seeing as the Ranger came with Power steering and AC if you really loved the car Buying one with the options you need will be the least hassle while it’s certainly not impossible to retro fit it all it’s not really something to be taken on unless you want to spend the time and money on it.
Sure the seats would be worth doing Just find a nice set at the salvage yard or on ebay.
