A couple of special non-Volvo tools

overwoody · Feb 8th, 2009, 17:48

Just having a clearout in the garage, and came accross these two items, one is reusable and the other was a one time use.

This one is why I remove all the Volvo locking wheel nuts on each new Volvo that comes into my posession and replace them with non locking nuts.

This one is a vital special tool that allows me to change headlight lamps without messing around and removing too much.

Its actually a blue spade connector with a pop rivet (unused) crimped in where the wire would normally go and insulation tape wrapped around the while lot.

With the help of a torch, mirror and magnet, I did the last lamp change in less than 15mins. FYI I have opened up the spade connector so it is an easy slide off, that way the lamp remains in place when you pull the space connector off.

As mad Capt'n Rum said to Edumnd Blackadder...
