Dave,

After seeing the 3 air jacks in Bill's shop, I couldn't sleep because of the "Green Monster" effect.  A Harbor Freight sale calmed me down but still need? a third to be even.

Have Bill take Don out to his old hanger and a tour of his Beech King Air. One impressive like new aircraft. Hitting the goose in the clouds is a good story too. When you think overhaul, check the price for an exchange on just one of his engines.

Wish I were there. Hi to Bill!

Pierce, I hear the green monster knocking on my door... But I dare not let him in, because if I do, then I'm lost! I only have one puny 12 ton air Jack, but unfortunately it didn't even make the trip with me. Fortunately, however Bill and his excellent shop has provided all that I needed to take care of these essential upgrades. I tell you, the friends that I have made through Foreforums have been a godsend!

The wheel lugs on our 99' are different then yours Pierce, because our wheels are hubcentric and we just have 10 lug nuts on the duels. The 33 mm socket is not reversible, it is deep enough to reach the lugnut even with an inch of stud exposed. I believe your outer Lugnuts are an inch and a half, though I could be wrong about that. Here is a picture of the socket and one of my wheel lugs. Ah, What the heck, I will also throw in a few more pictures as well... ;D The last two pictures show more clearly the vertical reinforcements with gussets that I added to the bulkhead while doing that project.

While looking at the pictures, I just noticed that the Lugnut actually has the torque range stamped right on it! How cool is that?
