You can get that power steering pulley removal tool through the Autozone use a tool program. You pay the fee for the tool, use it and bring it back, and they refund it to you. So you're basically getting to use it for free as long as you bring it back. I've used the power steering pulley removal tool three times from them, works pretty well, easy enough to understand once you get it all out.

So. Got the A\C compressor mounted, accumulator and new orifice tube (which was built into the line from the evap to the condenser) and the service port on the new line had a mangled spring in it, so when I went to pull the gauges off the line, it didn't seal. ran around trying to find a new schrader valve for the line, and used my Jeep. The left front caliper started dragging bad. Advance on 10-10 has new calipers for around 25 per side. However, I never did finish my brake pressure bleeder project.

So tonight I will be.
Installing a new Shrader valve.
Patching the wiring on the big trailer.
Replacing brake calipers on the TJ
Finishing my brake bleeder build, or manually bleeding, or vacuum bleeding the brakes.

Bob has offered to come out and give a hand, along with Dusty from the group. and a couple other guys that I know.

I swear, I'll not continue to leave things to the last minute after this...

Update 1: Hit the store this morning. Scored the calipers (unloaded) and the hardware for the brake bleeder. For the bleeder project I currently have:
1. Pressure spray tank from Home Depot.
2. NPT fitting and brass nut to mount the cap
3. JEEP cap (that fits)
4. various lines with a shutoff valve

Last piece I may need is a 1\4 in to 1\4 in hose barb. IF this works, then I'll have to make adapters for the Fords and probably Mary's Honda.
