zipties...lots and lots of zipties. when i got my hotshot intake my EGR hose wasnt long enough, went to Home Depot Racing and bought a toilet drain valve hose thing and voila! $1.37 later problem solved! also, exhaust pipes, mop handles, and vacuum cleaner hose extensions all make nice breaker bars for axle nuts and lug nuts

why were you playing with your EGR when you bought an intake?
i had an old vacuum cleaner extension i had to use as a cheater bar, the ratchet went right through the walls of the pipe. the only exhaust i have lying around is my stock exhaust, and it is a little unwieldy as a cheater bar...
i was changing the rear pads out and promptly grew tired of the needlenose pliers in the slots routine so i removed the boot (just pulls off), busted out the channel locks, and gripped it from the side on the part between where the brake pad would be and the little channel there. i then rotated the piston with the channel locks. took about 1/2 the time and didnt ruin my hands because they slip off.

What do you mean? I still needed my EGR to pass emissions and make my car run but the stock hose didnt fit onto the HotShot intake.
Any tricks on getting the oil pan off.. There's a Ken Moore tool out there but i can't get the part number for it..
I have always used a flat head screw driver, just go around and twist it to pull up on the pan. be carefull not to mess up the aluminum surface or bend the pan though.
I once welded a broken breaker bar to the crank of a honda d-series motor to get the crank pulley off the other end. had no other way to hold the crank.
No one has mentioned the screwdriver in the oil filter trick. or sandpaper.

A Lisle oil filter wrench makes stuck filters so easy to get off that it renders the screwdriver trick unnecessary. Pep Boys used to carry them, but apparently no longer. I'm sure they're available at other places, I just don't know which ones.

what the hell is a Lisle oil filter wrench? I have just never been able to make one of the regular filter wrenches work on an sr20.
