.
The
basic
open-end
wrench
is
the
most
widely
used,
but
grips
on
only
two
sides
.
It
can
spread
apart
and
slip
off
more
easily
.
The
box-end
wrench
has
better
grip,
on
al¡
six
sides
of
a
nut
or
bolt
.
A
12-point
box-end
can
loosen
a
nut
or
bolt
where
there
is
less
room
for
movement,
while
a
6-point
box-end
provides
bet-
ter
grip
.
Forhex
fasteners
on
fluid
lines,
like
brake
lines
and
fuel
lines,
a
fiare-nut
wrench
offers
the
acivantages
of
a
box-end
wrench
with
a
slot
that
ailows
it
to
fit
over
the
line

and
can
be
combined

Windshield

Biade
Maintenance
Common
problems
with
the
windshield
wipers
include
streaking
or
sheeting,
water
drops
after
wiping,
and
blade
chat-
ter
.
Streaking
is
usually
caused
when
wiper
blades
are
coated
with
road
film
or
car
wash
wax
.
Clean
the
blades
using
soapy
water
.
If
cleaning
theblades
does
not
cure
the
problem
then
they
should
be
replaced
.
BMW
recommends
replacing
the
wip-
er
blades
twice
a
year,
before
and
after
the
cold
season
.
Onold-
er
cars,
check
the
tension
spring
that
holds
the
wiper
to
the
glass
.
Replace
the
wiper
arm
if
the
springs
are
weak
.
Drops
that
remainbehind
after
wipingare
caused
by
oil,
road
film,
or
diesel
exhaust
coating
the
windshield
.
Use
an
alcohol
or
ammonia
solution,
or
a
non-abrasive
cleanser
to
clean
the
windshield
.
Wiper
blade
chatter
may
be
caused
by
dirty
or
worn
blades,
bya
dirty
windshield,
or
by
bentor
twisted
wiper
arms
.
Clean
the
blades
and
windshield
as
described
above
.
Adjust
the
wiper
arm
so
that
there
is
even
pressure
along
the
blade,
and
so
that
the
blade
is
perpendicular
to
the
windshield
atrest
.
Lubricate
the
wiper
linkage
with
a
light
oil
.
The
linkage
is
located
under
the
hood
on
the
drivers
side
.
If
the
problem
persists,
theblades
are
excessively
aged
or
worn
and
should
be
replaced
.
See
611
Wipers
and
Washers
.
Body

The

the

and
the

.
Lubricate
the

.
Do
not

.
If
door

are
sticking,
lubricate
them
with

.
The

should
be

The

minimum,
as
the

may
