This started off life as a 1/2-inch bolt.

Then a grinding wheel was added.

Wha-laa! A water pump plug removal socket!

So simple, a cave..........

No, I did the bolt grind approach.

I know Mark, and Tom, and Clay, and Ed, and everyone. I just have a sinking feeling in my guts not knowing for sure what's going on with my truck. I don't have the time to dig into it, it works now. Tamara works 3 blocks away from the house and can use the truck the rest of the work week. I really need to pull the diff cover, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the pinion bearing, but it sure makes a heck of a popping noise in reverse. Pulled the axles and the outer bearings didn't seem bad.

Leave the smoker and come in the Camry. Your fellowship is the important part. If not I understand and support your decision. Heck, we will come to your house to eat.
