At the dealership, they have all of the right tools, and with the right tools you can do anything. But when your doing a job where you need the car up in a pinch, you have to be a little creative. It's all about turnaround time and cost. You try to keep your customers happy. What I did was a last resort kind of deal. This is not something you would do again. I will now go out and buy the correct tool or get stonger equipment. And by the way, you would be surprised what the dealer would do because your not looking. They know better than anyone that time is money. I've had many teachers that were all A techs at all sorts of dealerships with no less than 25 years of experience tell me stories of unorthodox ways they would get a car going again that the service repair manual doesn't contain. So, please, try to be a little open minded and not so sarcastic of other people's genious
