Wondering if i should go with thicker pipes. Main area I'm curious about is the shower. I'm looking to put in one of those multipule jet shower heads and would like to know how pipe size would affect water pressure, etc. Any info or search suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.
u have to break that axle nut which is really on their best done with an airgun. but u can do it by hand i believe its a 32 mm socket or 36 after that take tire off disconnect tierod end.and the strutpull it out be careful of your brake lineafter u clear everything tie it up so its not hanging by the rubber brake hosehave to work the axle out thenthe end near the trans u pop out with a big screwdrivergood luck
If you are really re piping the entire house, the way to go is pex pipe. Pex piping is made of plastic and is very easy to install. You could install a manifold in the basement and run home runs to each fixture. The manifold has built in valved outlets that let you control each take off. The multiple shower heads on a Kohler for instance would require two separate water supplies. The main line should be a minimum of 3/4, with standing water of 60-75 psi.
If you don't know what you are doing.don't do it. It isnt that expensive to have done correctly at a shop. Many will tow the vehicle there if needed. To attempt this job could result in damage to you and the car.

If you have city water, it is likely that you have 3/4 pipe coming in the house. Your water heater connections are 3/4. Most houses are then reduced to 1/2 for economy reasons. If you are able to maintain 3/4 to the shower it will increase the volume of water available to the multi heads, and therefore the pressure, as long as it is less than 50 feet from the water heater. Once you get beyond 50' the pipe should be reduced to 1/2 in order to maintain pressure.
