Finds: Steering Wheel Holder and Pedal Depressor Kit
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007
Face it: Sometimes when you’re working on your car you need someone else to sit in the seat and push a pedal or hold the wheel straight. And sometimes you need your getaway car to drive off the cliff — without you in it.
It’s usually at this point that you go and find someone else from your family — personal or crime – who’s, um, less than fully interested in the task at hand and waylay them into doing the job.
Why not just save yourself the whole hassle and pick up a steering wheel holder and pedal depressor kit? And even if you have ample help around the shop, it’s pretty much impossible to do your own alignments without one.
As the clever naming might suggest, the kit consists of a steering wheel holder to hold the steering wheel for toe-in/toe-out work and centering the steering wheel , and a pedal depressor for use in tune-ups, brake jobs, clutch work, engine diagnosis, setting RPM speed, air conditioning work, and cylinder balance tests.
