I made a bone head mistake and crunched the steel brake line between the rear axle and the passenger side sway bar mount. Truck is a 2003 F-250 with a 7.3. I would like to go to the auto parts store, get bulk steel brake line and bend it myself. But, I don't know what size the line is or what size the fittings are. Whatare the sizes???

I have the 20 inch chrome wheels on my 2016 Lariat. After this winter there is some buildup if some sort in the wheels that will not come off when I hand wash the truck. From what I understand, these are some sort of plastic covering and not true chrome. So my question is can use a really abrasive material or steel wool to remove heavy grime. I have a feeling it is from salt in the roads. I don't want to ruin my wheels.

I have the Ford plastic drop in bed liner, and being up in the salt belt in CT, i want to take it out just to see how things look under there. Dont want to be surprised later on if i keep waiting. How do you take this thing out? Just pull the sides out from under the bed rails? You dont have to take the plastic trim that goes on top of the bed sides off do you?
Also, i want to get rid of this thing soon. The best thing to replace the plastic liner? i dont want to just leave it metal, but my dad has had a spray in "rhino liner" in his 04 ranger since the day he bought it and it has held up great. so i am thinking something along that line. How much it would be to have a spray in liner installed?

I got a new headlamp switch for my 2016 SD. I have the XL work truck with no fog lights. I recently added fog lights and an OEM fog light wire harness. I also got an OEM switch that pulls out to activate the fig lights because the stock switch in my truck operates the headlamps only. What I can't figure out is how to remove the switch.
Here's a photo of the new switch .....

My truck has factory tint on all 4 corners as well as the rear window. I do quite a bit of night driving and I'd like to remove the tint on the drivers window as well as the passenger window. Is this even possible? I fear the glass was 'smoked' when manufactured and going back to completely clear glass will require a totally new window.

My grandad passed away a few months back, and I'm about to get his truck ready to sell/trade for my grandmother. The truck is an 09 f150 with only 18k miles, but it's got a couple minor issues like soft brakes from sitting, I'll post those problems in the f150 section if i have any issues fixing. He liked to leave the extended cab windows cracked in the summer. Problem was, he would forget to raise them, sometimes weeks at a time. He was 88 and suffering from dementia. This leads me to my question : How do I QUICKLY get rid of the musky smell? I came home this evening, and went to put it in the garage, and the windows were fogged up from the inside, and it smells awful. The windows haven't been left down in at least 6 months. This sucks, because this truck is flawless other than this. Dad had put open boxes of baking soda in it, but it hasn't worked.

Long story short, ended up spilling a small cup of watered down paint in the bed. Of course some ran out the bottom as well but I'm most concerned with the bed. How to remove the paint? Since it was so diluted I figured it would wash right out at the car wash with high pressure.

No special extraction tools are required, just a small jeweler screwdriver.
Push the screwdriver into the back of the connector, to push the Red terminal locking bar loose, then extract from the front.

In my attempt to remove the auto locking hub on my 2000 F-350 4x4, I found that it would not slide out. I removed the retaing clip and the hub should of be able to come out with a couple wiggles, it seems to have seized inside the hub. I tapped it with a rubber mallet on all sides. Any thoughts as to other alternative methods of removing the hub locker ?
