Thank Sir

I would love to see if you can balance a tire to 0 without weight. I have a tire company that says it's possible and he had balanced all four without weights on a truck.i said it was impossible.and extremely rare if at all.claibraiton in order?what do you think.

Nice video, with useful information. Unfortunatelly requires owning a specific lathe.

5:34 now that was funny lol

Thank you for putting this great video together. Where are you located ? I want to bring my brake rotors to you to do the resurfacing.

Great video. How do you know right or left shock? Facing the car from outside or inside car driver side?

Thanks Gregory! I drive a Ford Econoline handicap van and I am short. I am hoping that I can use this adjustment as I have to lift my entire knee to hit the break. I don’t feel safe in its current location. Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions are welcome.

Great tutorial, today was my first day lifting our mini van 2015 Chrysler Town and Country in our home garage installed two post half lift Max Jax from Bend Pak, the positioning of the vehicle took long time and it is not perfect but it is relatively straight and centered on the lift area, where the doors seams are kind of in the middle of the lift columns I had to experiment with it to get it where i like it, the van has like a thin metal edge and not really 'lift points" which makes it difficult to determine the optimal point; as result the front arms are closer to the front wheels than the rear arms are to the rear wheels; the Max Jax is rated to 7K and the van weights 6050 pounds; it is pretty heavy compared to a normal car and tall too, our ceiling is 8.7 and the clearance I have to work under it is 38 inches, a little over 3 feet but I just tested being under using also an Ergo Creeper which can only go into its first setting off the floor at 21 inches but I kind of semi-laying down and it is so comfortable that I could sleep on it and can reach every point under it, so I am happy that the objective expending so much money and time in this setup yields a better position to access under the frame better than just using jacks stands; the Max Jax has mechanical safety stops to prevent the weight to rest on hydraulic power only and it seems to me pretty solid without having the need to buy extra long jacks as many other people do for extra layer of safety; the vehicle is secured in all 4 points and unless there is an earthquake does not seems it would just fall off. I was thinking maybe the clearance would not be enough but I was wrong; this lift has 6 safety stops, due to how high the van is and the ceiling clearance I can only use 5 then back down to rest on the stop and have good reach under to everything. I also just got an oil drum from Harbor freight which needed to cut 5 inches off the main tube to make it fit under the vehicle but overall I am happy as to how everything is coming along. Ready not to overhaul that hydrolocked engine! the tip about placing a jack on the back when the engine is out is great, thank you for the tutorial!

U wash the rotor with water and soap..the garage use brake cleaner after the install the disk on the car no oily mark from the finger

If the brake pedal goes up is it jaming?

Good to learn and a very good reminder of the dangers for loose lugnuts, Also congradulation for hitting more than 630 subscribers

Great video, well explained, good camera quality and clear voice. Thanks, you teach and explain great.

great video for aspiring or newer techs to learn safety. if you have not, id say make a full series for safety in the shop for the new guys as well.

Do you find that one side of the rotor is more out of spec than the other side?

well done

should've resurfaced drums too. 🙄

Great video

Thanks sir! My mom lives in Crestline and it’s starting to snow and we have no clue how to put these on.

I got a 2009 Silverado. I got a bike cylinder and power booster. My pedal is like 8 inches off the floor. The mechanic says it's right everyone else says it's too high. How do I fix this. It's too high to the point I'm I'm uncomfortable driving it

Where are the points to lift a 2012 Fird E50 van? I took it to a shop and lifted on the edge and it bent the area where they lifted it. They told me that's where the pinch points are but I don't believe them. They used a 2 post lift.

This video was very informative. I managed to lift a car in a 1:16

What is the brand and height you used in this video?

MAke a car that is maintainable without a lift of special tools. make it cool.

Has anyone been able to accomplish this feat without having to drive a car to do it? For example, could it be done with a drill press or a lathe?

It seems all these lift videos NEVER really mention how you position your vehicle in relation to the location of the posts. Yes some lifts will provide the approximate of the tire plate. But what if the manufacturer did not provide this....as in the one i have......what do you do then? My Chev crew cab will not have the posts located in reference to it....same as a Toyota corolla?. So.....what do you do.....guess???

Nice, I did not know I could do this. Thanks for the video

Thank you, Gregory!

Nice, I have a question, Can you also resurface brake drum?

Thorough and interesting, thanks for posting.

Nissan NV200 liftpoints in pillar lift

Thank you for this!

Really good to know 👍 thanks for the video

I gotta 2022 chevy equinox and the break is really high and hurts my foot after driving too long is it possible to adjust it lower or will it mess up the specifications?

When you connect the wire to quick disconnect I can’t see how you do it. It just has a hole so how do you attach the wire.

What should I tell my coworkers who think you have to center the front tire on that plate? They always guide me to center the wheel, and end up pulling the car in crookedly. I flat out have to ignore their guidance sometimes in order for me to lift the car.

How about on a 2010 dodge journey? Can it be done?

Bro reminds me of Paul Walker

I liked the detailed video, it is nice to understand the function and the step by step process, thank you for the video

I was just thinking about how to flush the brakes on my car thank u so much for your beautiful videos and showing me how to do things properly and also helping me fix my car back to normal after some hard times in my life

What is the vehicle is rotten and the frame crushees as u lift it for cars with lift points

Are there different lifting heights on a 4 post lift?

Great video thanks for sharing this with us you are a good teacher. Happy new year to you👍🙏

Good to know

I had been looking for a video that explained the difference between chains and cables. And also when to use one or the other and this video was the only one in CZcams that actually explains it . Thank you

Lifting manual light vehicles on to wheel cribs. How to.

Thank you for the great film. Is it hard to despring that spring completely? For some reason there are no films, showing this procedure, though it is important, bcs before you give the old assembly for recycling or just put it into the trash container, you need to release that spring, so no one is hurt accidentally. That procedure will be also necessary, if you want to replace the spring for another one. I bought a new assembly to install, but researching what to do w/the old one, how to dispose it properly. From this film it looks like that the strut is the part which can be worn in the assembly. I thought they are springs, they become softer, so the car is sitting lower as a result. But after this film I start to think that the springs are never worn, they just can be broken (in accidents e.g.). Probably that is why all the films are about how to remove the old spring and install it on the new strut, so no one bothers to decompress that spring. Thank you again.

Good to know, I did not know that when changing brakes

Nice Video Mr. K, I like how your Toyota Corolla has become like the Guinea Pig to most of your videos. Which is a good thing because it means that you're getting the car's basic maintenance done :)
