These connectors are TRASH ! they only work with 10 Gauge wire any thicker wire and they will fail. And by the way, don't try to pull the wire, the center connector will let the wire come loose and you'll find yourself on your knees trying to to repair the connection. A complete waste of time and money.
@@alexron2023 So sorry you had issues with them. Thank you for the feedback...
This is a fantastic video, much appreciated sir!
@@chezchundy8892 Thank you! Very kind of you to say...hope it helped you...
No problem, I watched a few different videos in preparation to do this myself and yours was the most helpful, figured I'd let ya know :) Haven't cleaned it yet but preparing do give it a shot tomorrow
@@chezchundy8892 ...send any questions if you need to during the process...
@@fixeverything4u I did it this afternoon and everything was exactly as shown in your video. The amount of dirt and cobwebs that I cleaned out was wild! AC is running much cooler now and the unit doesn’t sound like it’s working as hard. I can’t thank you enough!
@@chezchundy8892 Bam! 2 Snaps Up! My very great pleasure! Yes, I was appalled at the amount of dirt inside my unit in fact it was like a blanket I peeled off the coils. Don't know what I was thinking letting it go so long! It was down a pound of freon also. Luckily, I found a guy that still deals in R22. After 24 years that's pretty good. Next season I will replace the AC coil on the furnace and post another video because that thing is an old rust bucket but it still works great... nice and frosty!
Thanks for a proper guide on these I’m a bit sceptical on the wire from the light making a good connection, seems like the wire will only just be touching metal prong on the inside.
@@jamesmartin1138 The squeeze type connectors are a poor design. They don't penetrate the wire deep enough. The plastic clips don't hold firmly enough and corrosion sets in. Glad this helped you!
Not required but preferred, it does not hurt to apply bearing grease #2 on the CV shaft before installing the knuckle with the hub assembly.
@@tsunami770 agreed!
I have the same problem with a similar Husqvarna and leakage of oil in the same locations that you pointed to and with the arrow in your video. Did you give it a good shove off the cliff or did you separate the 2 halves and replace the seal? I didn’t delve into it that far bro, what I did do was replace the valve gaskets, and that did not solve my problem because there is still oil leakage bubbling from the exhaust pipe bolts.
@@eagleseyes3 I did finally remove the engine and split the halves. I used high temp red sealant. Piece of cake once the engine is on the bench. Getting it out was the hassle. About 3.5 hrs all in.
Hey man love the video. wanted to ask if you were able to connect it to the application. i bought the same headphones and I can't connect it to the app
Awesome video! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
@@bkennington67 My pleasure! It's always nice to know what's behind car trim panels so you don't break vital fastener points.
After you rinse, do you have to wait till it dries to turn back on?
@@jacobbourret4551 No. The fan will dry things very quickly! Cheers and thank you for watching Fix Everything!

bumped into this recently and made me revive the exact same ricoh laser printer we have at home. Thanks so much for this! saved me a lot of money
@@balmy1332 Fantastic! So glad it helped! Yes, a lot of money saved!
Kohler engines love to leak oil! In your case, that area is not under pressure, so the oil is just getting spashed out. Not a big deal. You should check the oil every time you use the mower anyway, so just live with it. I am working on one where the cheap yellow plastic oil drain valve has vibrated loose at the block. The oil leak from that is constant. But it is a bugger to get a wrench on it, with the motor in the tractor. Don't really want to have to pull it out just to snug up a fitting. Arrrgh!
@@bobmcl2406 I understand that completely! I was just saying that to another commenter that I actually pulled the entire engine off last week and resealed the sump and took that stupid oddball drain plug out completely, cleaned it and slathered it with high temperature sealer and really cranked it down so it will not move now. What a great spot for an oil drain plug, very bottom of engine resting flat on the base of the engine platform! Not!
I purchased my Husqvarna YTH 22V46 in March 2015 for $1519. In the FALL of 2020, the entire gasket came out during an oil change and all the oil poured out over the frame and onto my shop floor. I paid a nearby dealer $248 to fix it. He claimed it would never leak again and this was a common problem. Today, almost 4 years later, I noticed oil leakage when I backed my mower out. A closer inspection revealed the same problem. They were supposed to use a gasket on the fix. Absolutely terrible. Today this mower costs $2699. My guess is the mating surfaces of the seam are not flat. Not sure what route to take just like your video. The clift looks pretty good.
@@haroldjohnson4276 I hear ya! I finally took the engine off the mower a few days ago and tore it down. (3 Hr. job) I tried a high heat permatex gasket sealer. So far, so good. It felt so good to wipe down and clean that engine deck! Cleaned underneath as well...caked oil and dirt. A lot of high priced junk out there....Thank you for watching!
@@fixeverything4u I have a 2005 John Deere 150 with the same motor but no problems. It's the original JD not the cheap version they make today. My neighbor also has a Kabuta Zero Turn with the same motor. They use this motor for a lot of applications. Tomorrow I'm going to try and pinpoint the leak.
@@haroldjohnson4276 I'm sure you'll find it. That engine is heavy! Have a nice bench or work surface ready before you lift it out of your mower! I used 2 sawhorses and a piece of scrap plywood just outside my shed.
Guess why it's leaking? When the dealer installed the gasket he did not tighten the bolts. Needs a new seal now. Looks like they used form-a-gasket and it held for a little while. Have a Happy 4th and make us some more good videos. And if you want something done right, always do it yourself!
@@haroldjohnson4276 I hear that tightening bolts is crucial to keeping both halves of the engine together! 🤣
How are they a year later?
Nothing broken. Great sound. Batt. Is still holding a chage. Cushions still soft and full.
what a fantastic video. will check out other videos. I wonder if there Is there a product to spray on that hub to help slow down the formation of rust?
Thank you! There is a solution called "Move to SC, AZ, CA, NM, TX, FL, GA or anywhere the Highway Dept. doesn't use salt in the winter!" Taxes will be better too!
Using the same connectors, how do you connect if the wires from the light is extremely small gauge, like a wire from an LED bud?
The wire would have to be thick enough to be "grabbed" by the threaded post inside and be pierced by the needle connector. This connector will only take a certain range of gauges.
excellent thank you!
No problem!
Thanks for this video. My lights came with these connectors but had horrible instructions about how to use them.
So glad this helped you! Thanks for watching!
I love the use of calibrated hammers. I was blessed to be born with calibrated wrists so my torquing is always perfect!
Lol! I know, I'm working on a torque wrench! I have been flogged mercilessly!
Very helpful video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi dude, u meter this ignitor? my heater have this type of ignitor but the coil its out. i cant find in the work shop a replace, i may make one by my self using kanthal wire, but i cant find what is the resistance of this ignitor originaly.
I dont know the resistance of the filament. However, you don't need to make one. The DH30 ignitor head is available on Amazon and many other websites. $10-$15 seems to be the average cost. Easy push and twist bayonet socket installation. Thank you for watching!
Where did you get the contacter and capacitor? And i do have the same unit. Did you need a serial number or something to find those parts? I don't see any. Just a sticker on the box that has the contactor in it. Thanks. Almost done!
There is a value printed on the capacitor and a model number sticker on the contactor. Write them down and go to Amazon. There are many brands to choose from for both. If you're not sure or the printing and sticker are missing from them, call Rheem and give them your AC unit model number, they will give you the part numbers to look for. About $31 total for both. If you're unit only needs a cleaning and it's not buzzing or malfunctioning in any way, I would leave it alone. I only replaced mine because one of them was malfunctioning (humming), in the dead of winter with the thermostat set to heat with no call for AC, and since I was already in there for the cleaning, I replaced both for smooth, future operation...
You are so awesome. Thank you 🎉
Wow, lucky me, I waited till this week to do my unit. It's the same as yours, but mine had 3 inches of dirt and leaves in the bottom . I wasn't sure why my exterior wasn't loosening and that I missed some screws. Now i can get back to it! I saw so many videos without removing the shell, and I knew that was wrong. Thanks!
So glad this helped! Remember, if it was put together, it has to come apart! I was a little kid who took all my toys apart to see what made them work. I broke everything! But, that's how you learn! 😊
@@fixeverything4u nice video that thing sounds much more powerful 😊
Fantastic! Keep me posted on the outcome...
@@LadariusCapersOfficial Like butter! Thank you for tuning in!
How did it go? Would love an update!
Thank you for your knowledge!
My pleasure!
Things to improve on next time. 1. Always have Jack stand on Jack stand points and lower the jack just below jack stand. If you rely on jack alone, you will shorten /ruin the life of jack and put yourself in harm by just resting on Jack. 2. Spray rust penetrant few min before try to remove bolts. Instead of using hammer to loosen bolt, give few seconds good effort to tighten the bolt. Then reverse to remove the bolts. 3. Smooth the hub by sand paper(may need wire brush), Use Anti seize compound on the hub surface receiving the rotor. 4. Remove Brake Pads from Caliper brackets. Clean the brackets where Brake Pads rest. Use grease on on where it rest on brackets, and the back of brake pads. 5. Always good to use new pads. I
Thanks John, very good advice!
thank you! I just noticed one of my lights is off and I hate those clamp connectors they come with. I will be buying these
Super, glad you found them!
Wow! Finally a video that explains in great detail how to clean and replace a capacitor. I always had to watch two separate videos….no longer!
Thank you for the kind comments! I appreciate the support!
Is there not a C-Clip on the ball joint?
There was. Not shown in video. Assembly was the reverse of taking it apart. It was not a C clip, more of a spring clip between the ball joint shaft and bottom of the knuckle housing.
@@fixeverything4uThat makes sense, because I was looking at the ball joint on Amazon and it comes with a clip.
@@pingpong9656 Yes, I looked at it when it was off and I couldn't figure out why it was there and what purpose it served. It's very thin, perhaps it's a guide to find the hole the ball joint shaft slips into.
Thank you for the detailed video!
My pleasure.... So glad this helped you!
I did live in Arizona for almost 24 years! I live in northwest Pennsylvania now, so I get to deal with rust now.
Salted roads cost drivers a ton of money maintaining a vehicle. . .
Wtf?
Hey. I've got 7watt lights running on 230v. Would this be right option for this electricity?
Did not have to remove top section of trim only pull out the bottom of the sides leaving them there.
Thanks, I found the part online for about $100 comes with camera and cable up to the white connector
Excellent! You saved a bundle VS any dealership!
Thx for sharing! Cool to see Picun and other smaller budget companies creeping up on quality and sound for the $$. Had a pair of Picun several years ago and was impressed with the sound, but wasn't keen on the plastic build at the time (plus it didn't fold). Thx again for sharing!!
Glad to help. Yeah, snappy little cans. Large but comfortable.
What brand ball joint press tool did you use? The ones on Amazon all seem to have week C clamps and tend to bend if the ball joint is really stuck in there.
Power Built. I borrowed it at Auto Zone. They let you use any tools for free as long as you leave a deposit on a credit card. When finished, you return it and get your deposit back!

I have 670 hours on my Husqvarna lgt2554. I keep it tuned up, but it is really leaking oil now. Maybe from a couple spots, I'm not sure. Thanks, John
650 hours on mine runs well , same issues with oil leaking , have done numerous patching on the frame.
Awesome vid. Trying to determine if the wheel bearing is bad or the CV axle. It had a grinding pulsing sound that gets worse when I turn right, is loud when it’s straight and quieter when left. I spun it by hand and can’t hear anything. I am contemplating doing this myself or just paying for it so your video really helped
My bad bearing creaked like a dry hinged door and was worse when turning. I also replaced my drivers side CV shaft a few years back which makes a clunking or knocking sound (louder when turning) You can feel it at the steering wheel. The internal joints wore out with no grease to lubricate them. Grease boot was split open. Bring it to a mechanic and get it diagnosed. Then do it yourself if you're able. Even with a diagnostic fee it would be far less expensive if you could do it yourself after you find out what the issue is.
@@fixeverything4u I can feel it in the steering. It is a knocking/grinding that varies with speed. The boots are fine. Maybe I should replace both while Im in there. I don’t really have a trusted mechanic. It’s at 80k. Trying to use it until the water pump fails then it basically a throw away car. 😂
Wouldn't hurt while you're under there. Just saw one for $75 on Amazon. Either side, about the same price.
@@fixeverything4u do you just pull the cv axle out and push the new on in?
@@mxerb5912 Yes, be careful, there is a clip ring just inside the drive unit that holds the CV Axle in place. Find a video to watch that covers this before you attempt. There will be some oil leakage once the shaft is out.
What did you use to clean the battery terminal and the contact ball?
Great question! I don't think I mentioned that in the video. A "fine" piece of sandpaper using my index finger. Both the ball and contact tab took about 10 seconds to clean. Then I wiped them off with a clean cloth with a shot of windex.
Very helpful
Thanks Mike! Appreciate you!
Good video. We all love fix it videos. New sub.
Thank you so much!
@@fixeverything4u ... I have a heater like yours that I bought several years when they were cheap. It's been sitting in the garage since then. It's cold now, as you well know, and maybe I should give it a try again. I think I have the same problem you did, plus the wick is messed up. Hey, you should make a wick video. We all like those. And, have you ever used diesel fuel? they say it works. I don't know, but I'll try it.
I haven't used Diesel and it just so happens this unit needs a wick. The top edge is crunchy and brittle and doesn't burn very efficiently. Most likely from substandard K1 fuel or burning right to empty.
Awesome job showing up close and easy to understand!! Best video without lots of useless information!! Thank you so Very much!! ❤😊

You're so welcome, thanks for checking out the channel and Happy New Year!!
Can you use the thumb screw wire connectors to splice another section of landscape (16) gauge low voltage wire, about 15 feet to be exact, to add one more additional led 12w light?
You should be able to, but this will draw power away from the main line and those lamps may appear dimmer. Example: I have a string of 10 halogen ground lights and I ran a line off of that line to run 4 more for another section of shrubs and the last one furthest from the power pack was the dimmest. Now, LEDs are different, and draw far less current, so it may not be noticeable or dim at all. Try it....and let me know...
@@fixeverything4u This is a follow up to my previous post earlier today. I use the thumb screws as I stated in my previous post and added about 18 feet more of Landscaping wire and one LED light. I have a 300 W Sunvie transformer, and to my surprise it came out fantastic. I now have a total of 12 LED lights. No issues at all. I wish I could upload some pictures of the outcome but I don’t know if I can do this on this app. Thanks a lot for your help!
Bravo! I'm sure it looks great! Thank you for all the great questions!
Thank you so much question for you does it matter which main line wire the red and black go into ?
No, usually, low voltage lighting does not have a polarity. I've tried it both ways. Thanks for checking out the channel, Happy Holidays!
If you check the black insulation on the supply wire (or lamp wire) the smooth wire is positive and the side with "ridge" is negative!
I ordered mine off temu I’m excited
I've seen a pair on Temu that resembled these. Hope it works out. The one's I saw had a very shiny finish though....
@@ishd6782 just wondering if the ones from Temu are good?
hey how have you find them? Have been workong great?
Hey I have a Vizio M43-C1. Im getting a popping noise from my left speaker. Intermittent. Only when audio is on. Every input. Doesn’t happen on external speakers i have plugged in. I swapped the internal speakers for new ones, still popping. Picture is fine no issues. On that side is the main board (green). What could be causing this? Thinking of swapping the main board. the sound is definitely lower and on the left side. Coming out of speaker. Any ideas? I dont think its a capacitor because my tv still works?
Sounds like the audio driver board. Maybe some of the previous viewers can comment and give you some ideas. Check all seating of wiring connectors.
@@fixeverything4u I don’t see an audio driver board for it. Would that be on the main board?
@@AXXXXA yes, not the power board. All the inputs are located on the board. I call it a driver board because sound and signal eminate from that board.
@@fixeverything4u ok cool thanks! Im gonna swap the main board & see if it fixes it. Thanks for responding !
I almost just swapped the power supply board rather than repair it. Sometimes that's much easier if you're puzzled...

My apologies, I'm not familiar with that model. I hold down the button on this model and it connects to bluetooth within seconds....
@@fixeverything4u Thanks...I think the batter is too low or just bad....I'm returning the product because it says power on, then immediately power off. Nothing will work for this headphone. It's damaged.
Most likely. Have it replaced and it should work correctly.
