You mean the wiper arms?
Just give them a light rub down with a fine/medium scotchbrite cloth pad and then a panel wipe before spraying with satin black.
Aye, you can't argue with Snap-on hand tools tbh. No wonder some try to copy them.
Sometimes hard to justify the cost, but in most cases they do warrant it.
That's not to say that there aren't very good alternatives out there.
I've got the 3/8 long neck, it's the same 75Nm as yours.
The newer high speed one is lower at around 45Nm I believe and it benefits from a narrower profile head for tighter areas.
If you want to do Renault wheel bearings, you'll need at least 20T from experience.
They can be stubborn and go with a right bang when they eventually press free.
Only reason for the delay would be if it's an empty hose, where you have to wait for the water to come through.
Also don't forget if the hose was used with normal water first, it'll take a few seconds for Di water to purge through before your PPM level drops.
Using those aqua stop connectors...
Same as you would with AR1 really.
Around 25 minimum really otherwise you'll risk damaging the sidewalls in the first few minutes as they warm up and get to operating pressure.

Used those before for a replacement on my dad's Ford.
Sent them pictures and one turned up and fitted perfectly.
Wasn't the cheapest at around £50 though.
I used to get a noise like that too with Koni adjustable shocks.
Never managed to cure it.
Now have BC's.
It almost sounds like the threaded part of the damper rod is hitting the hole which it passed through into the top mount bush.
