    That's why I airconditioned my shop.


    Compressed air nozzle and a rag. you'll figure it out from there. works quick and good though.

    You work on cars and have no compressed air? life must REALLY suck for you then, cause it's only a few hundred bucks for a compressor. Save up and get one and a few air tools, and you will be AMAZED at how much easier things are man!

    I gave a guy an engine job back in Jan. because I didn't want to put the fuel pump in when it went out 10 minutes after putting the new engine in. The truck was a piece and I told him to just come get it.
