Headliner material is very thin so any heavy adhesive will bleed through. THought I heard of one available at craft stores that is very good and does not bleed through fabric.
Maybe something specific for it like: http://www.amazon.com/3M-38808-Headliner-Fabric-Adhesive/dp/B004MEBENM
No. My bet is most kits will have 6mm to 19mm. Ateast those are common packages. The 32mm you will have to buy separate. I've been using a kit of the oil filter sockets I got off Amazon for years and they have held up well. You might be able to find just the socket you need but kits are pretty cheap and you can never have too many tools.
A good flashlight. I recommend streamlight stinger led ... It will last him years of daily use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BD9OKC6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3msGDb5VME65Q
Are you SURE it's not a blown headgasket? Sometimes it's really hard to tell and the only symptom is airbubbles in the cooling system.
It might be worth waiting for the car to cool down, getting a combustion leak test kit, and sampling the gasses in the rad when the car is running but cold.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-75500-Combustion-Leak-Detector/dp/B0007ZDRUI/
I'm partial to Bosch impact driver bits, I work as a mechanic too, and it's not exactly what you're asking about, but this little kit gets so much use in my day-to-day it's not even funny. There's room in the case for a little 1/4 impact universal joint and a 1/4 hex to square adapter. Perfect for an 18v impact.
OTC is good stuff. Just make sure it has the cups for your application. http://www.amazon.com/OTC-7249-U-Joint-Anchor-Service/dp/B0002SRGXY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382125556&sr=8-1&keywords=ball+joint+press
I bought this Tire Inflator. Has worked great so far.
I've been really happy with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WB6K7D/
Ok, was just checking. Which means you're going to have to test and trace wiring.
Start with identifying the ground wire. since the jeep is now wired right it will be the white terminal on the trailer plug, white wire. Go back to where they have it all tied together on the trailer and make sure it's grounded correctly to the frame and the battery.
The next wire to work on will be the 12 volt supply wore from the jeep to the battery. It should be on the black terminal. Black wire. It should have a 12-volt circuit breaker on it, then it should go to the battery. Like this one
Your going to need a regular light tester, like this one
A set of test leads like these come in handy. You can take an old 12-volt battery, hook the leads to it, hook the ground to the trailer ground (after inspecting it and making it right) then use the hot wire to power up individual wires on the trailer to identify them.
As I said, it's just a matter of tracing and testing now.
If you're looking for detailed removal and installation instructions, i'd grab the Haynes Manual, it should have somewhat detailed instructions. If you're feeling adventurous you could probably do it without any reference material, just remove the plastic engine cover and follow the tube to all of the places it terminates and try to pull it out (shouldn't have to tug too hard). After you have it out, do the opposite with the new tube. Make sure to take pictures before removing the hose so you know what it should look like when it's done.
Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the tube that's causing you to replace it?
Spark plugs are dependant on the engine, your husband is incorrect. Many different variables that determine which plug to use. First get the correct plug and set the gap properly.
If the mower was running, then sounds like you just need to properly set the plug and properly torque it into the head. [This is the plug you need] (https://www.amazon.com/Honda-HRR2166PDA-Walk-Behind-MZCG-8000001-MZCG-8199999/dp/B00JNKTKPY).
Sunex makes a nice little bit set that comes with a driver and extension in a slick little case. usually find them on the truck or...

That.
Edit: Autocorrect!
I've seen it before, so I just googled until I found it. It seems like "disassembled car" or "disassembled car art" gets good results.
Here's my pic via Amazon:

Get empty fuse holders, and a box of 5amp fuses.
I've seen name brand LED Marker lights short internally and light in on fire. 5 amps or less is the magic number, but if you really want to go through the numbers, I believe rated amprage +20% is a starting point.
Fusing all the outputs is a diagnostic move. If only using one fuse, you'd have to diagnose the short in between the power in, and through all wiring and subsystems.
The job of the sub fuses is to protect the switches and components. The main fuse it's to protect the stator.

This set will not fail you.
I have been running these for 7 years, zero broken. Full time professional mechanic.
And a bonus that you can cut the top of the case off and just stick it into a toolbox drawer for instant organization.
Just the swivel socket set included here is rebranded to Matco and sold for $200 by itself.
I hear ya, i was thinking about getting the clamp from amazon and get a come along and hook the front of my f350 and pull it by tightening the come-along.
