New Tools - Deep Impact Socket Set and Brake Pliers

I needed some new tools to install the new parts I just bought.

I went with this Deep Impact Socket Set because it had a case and one more socket than the Harbor Freight set for only $12 more. ($37 from Amazon) 

Also they were out of stock at the close Harbor Freight, or I might have still done that set but I wanted these sooner.

The one inch socket loaded onto my DeWalt impact drill driver for banging loose the big strut rod bolt.

Removing glove box and heater core

The glove box hinge is fastened on with three bolts. Two broke while I was removing them. That will be a pain later. 

The heater core is bolted in with four bolts in the engine compartment. I think there is supposed to be another inside the glove compartment area, but that  bolt was missing on my car.
