    Glad it worked for you! Don't forget to give it a try on the rear wheel spoke cavities and calipers!

    Whew!!! That was tense there for a post or two. I thought Bob was gonna throw one of his old wore out G-Max's at the Dog. The Dog is old and has a bad back. No way he could a ducked fast enough. I gotta make a note. Don't poach Bob's ideas without giving him credit.

    Didn't mean to get Bob that riled up and I did hunt for the original thread but it just wouldn't come up for some reason, probably my lack of computer skills, us old guys ain't to quick on the PC, I did apologize and now Bob doesn't have to strain himself throwing that G-Max at me.

    I bought the cheaper one last week at a local Harbor Freight store for $3.99.. Already had a couple extra connectors to attach to the hose on the compressor and it works great...Difference is one is telescopic and the other is not...Plus the "cheapo" has a nice rubber tip that attaches to the longer tube....Ride safe

    Its funny what us old farts can get worked up over. A $4.00 blow gun. LMAO. Every week when the Snap-On truck rolls into the lot its like Christmas. Heck he give me a new cap today and I've been in a good mood ever since. I got a new extendable mirror with the "big" 3 inch head. Holy cow. I can walk up to a car now and look at the exhaust without bending over. $8.00. Lots of fun for $8.00.

    You sure that is the only "exhaust" you'll be looking at without bending over.

    I actually thought of that Larry. If only I had one of those back in high school. Mid 70's was the height of the mini-skirt craze. Makes you wonder..........

    Are you blowing from the inside out.....or the outside in?
