I removed the clips with pliers, and pulled the boot off the end of each wire. How do I repair these wires rather than buying new ones?</p> http://go.takeitapart.net/questions/31/boom-box-w-cd-and-tape-player/32#32 Answer by nathan the man mccorkle for Boom box w/ CD and Tape player nathan the man mccorkle 2009-11-04T06:30:06Z 2009-11-04T06:30:06Z <p>I don't think so, nothing in there is going to immediately harm you chemical-wise unless you put it in a blender, microwave, or garbage disposal. Watch out for big capacitors, as they can shock you pretty bad, be cautious and avoid touching one terminal with your left hand at the same time that you touch the other with your right hand. </p> http://go.takeitapart.net/questions/25/car-ignition-replacement/26#26 Answer by nathan the man mccorkle for Car Ignition replacement nathan the man mccorkle 2009-10-15T08:49:20Z 2009-10-15T08:49:20Z <p>Should be pretty straight forward... you can register <a href="http://www.autozone.com/autozone/myzone/profile/membershipBenefits.jsp" rel="nofollow">here</a> with the parts store "Autozone", and get free repair guides and things like wiring diagrams.

Any ideas? nathan the man mccorkle 2009-10-12T06:37:32Z 2009-10-12T06:37:32Z <p>you can try using Drano every other day for a week... sounds like there is something growing down there, you could also (separately from the drano) dump some 90% rubbing alcohol down there, or even hydrogen peroxide. Remember to rinse the pipes with a lot of water between trying these different chemicals... I bet multiple drano flushes, or the alcohol will work the best.</p> <p>Are you sure you have a drain trap installed under your sink? If not gases from the pipes are coming up into your kitchen, and you need to install a drain trap.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap%5F%28plumbing%29" rel="nofollow">Drain Trap - Wikipedia</a></p> http://go.takeitapart.net/questions/14/how-do-i-take-apart-a-compaq-keyboard-and-put-it-back-together/22#22 Answer by nathan the man mccorkle for How do I take apart a compaq keyboard and put it back together? nathan the man mccorkle 2009-10-12T06:32:30Z 2009-10-12T06:32:30Z <p>why do you want to do this??? if you just want to take it apart, get some screwdrivers, but I have a feeling you want to fix it as well... if so, what is the problem?</p> http://go.takeitapart.net/questions/19/every-time-i-try-to-press-the-gas-on-my-four-wheeler-while-its-running-it-cuts/21#21 Answer by nathan the man mccorkle for Every time I try to press the gas on my four-wheeler while it's running, it cuts off.
