JustJAY Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 Directions say you need a bent awl...... Do I REALLY need one? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
that7guy Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Directions say you need a bent awl...... Do I REALLY need one? uh...no way. You need some dishwashing detergent so the silicone hoses go on easy. Other then that its very basic. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
golden_child Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Jay it's real easy. The hardest part is getting the silicone couplers on. But you don't have to use them.
JustJAY Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 uh...no way. You need some dishwashing detergent so the silicone hoses go on easy. Other then that its very basic. Dishwashing liquid? Jay it's real easy. The hardest part is getting the silicone couplers on. But you don't have to use them. I want to use them and even got blue ones for me :itsme: I am gonna put this on both MINIs, but MINInurse's won't use the squirter function since it is an MCSc. I am also considering not using that function and see what this summer brings. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
e30r56 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Need some help Jay? Let me know and I'll be glad to help out. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
JustJAY Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 Need some help Jay? Let me know and I'll be glad to help out. That would be great, but you are pretty far away from me and I need to install these on 2 MINIs. If I do the sprayer on MINInurse's, I need to buy a pump and switch. That is annoying though.

e30r56 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Where are you again? Germantown right? That's not too bad. I once drove out to Sterling to replace a timing belt and rocker arm for someone. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
