Thanks oldskewel, I was sorta sure, but during the past few days, too much reading of dissenting website info made me not-so-sure. I had already ordered a wheel hanger in 14mm x 1.5, and a 4-way for the cargo area, but decided to wait on the extra wheel bolts and/or locks I'd been considering.

Over the past few months, I've been re-stocking each vehicle I own with spare parts, special tools, and necessities (oil, maybe coolant, shop towels) to work on each one, if needed on the road.

What spurred me to do this was that in the last 6 months:

• 1) the Cobalt developed braking problems, requiring new pads/rotors, and multiple attempts to bleed the system, but it's yet to be resolved,
• 2) the GMC needed an A/C control panel+starter+plugs+wires+cap, now fixed
• 3) the HHR Panel needed coolant refilled (and air burped, had a bubble causing overheat), and the A/C clutch wouldn't engage, despite resetting the DTCs and checking the system pressure (now fixed)

I realized that I had neglected my tools, and lent/lost most specialty tools over the last 13 years, since quitting racing, and surely hadn't the full complement of metric tools needed on everything today. So, I started acquiring more, in order to fix the aforementioned vehicles. Now, I have another to account for, the X5.

I used to have all the tools and necessary spares/fluids/compressors/generators needed by my drag-racing team, back in the day, and was willing to help anyone with their problems, even competitors. Many a tool went away, and I didn't replace them. I shifted my attention to building a camping trailer, just prior to retirement, and lost the intense car bug I once had.

OK. The new-to-me x5 has re-kindled my interest, and I'm preparing all I might need in the future, on the road. For all vehicle repairs, I've bought:

• 1) and used the Foxwell NT510E scan-tool (bought GM & BMW programming for it, anticipating the BMW, and to bleed the ABS on the Cobalt... I haven't done it yet, going to replace the MC first), but the bi-directional NT510E did fix the unresponsive A/C clutch on the HHR,
• 2) a complete A/C gauge set (formerly used a single gauge),
• 3) the aforementioned power bleeder,
• 4) metric combination and flare wrench sets I never had before,
• 4) miscellaneous items to be able to work on all of them.

By the time I get everything well-stocked and ready for travel or repair at home, maybe this accursed heat and humidity will let me do so (in-between the constant honey-do projects I have to solve/perform for the 15-year younger wife, who doesn't yet know the toll heat/humidity takes on me).
