Excellent method.
I love the level of detail here, thank you so much. Excellent video.!
Thanks!!! Hope it helped.
Thank you but i dont know why i broke 2 stud on my corolla hatch after the winter im scare to work on my car now i think tire shop ober torque my nuts
What kind of cfm and psi does the pump need, though? A hydraulic punch is only as good as the available power.
& I Assumed I Was Da Only 1 2 know this technique 😮😂
I saw this job only takes 5 min on CZcams why did you bill me a half hour 😂
I need one of those adapters for filters, but for a smaller lens to adapt to my camera, which has a diameter of 4cm
Same on my 2015 Yaris. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. much more detailed than 1A autos video.
Hi mate I have a bmw 330i 2006 that has a creamy coolant, very thick creamy. How ever no coolant in engine oil or transmission oil. Would you think its mixing because of the oil filter housing gasket? Are they common to have that issue
It's possible but more likely the oil cooler itself or radiator, if the trans lines go through the radiator. You can pressure test the trans and engine oil cooler to be sure.
How can I buy this
You can buy directly from Vevor here: www.vevor.com/hydraulic-knockout-punch-c_10829/ch-70-hydraulic-hole-punching-35t-tool-puncher-cfp-800-1-copper-bar-smooth-p_010266859282
Thank you so much I wrestled for a bunch,you vedio got it fixed , one pair of vise grips did the job
VEVOR IS GARBAGE. THEY HAVE NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND NONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS WORK. IT IS CRAP!! DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY - LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE - BUY AMERICAN
You failed to mention that you have to turn the bulb base to remove the bulb your video shows you just pulling the bulb straight out if that was common sense we wouldn’t be looking up these videos
Thank you I am currently in texas heat struggling 😭😭😭
You failed to mention that you have to turn the bulb base to remove the bulb your video shows you just pulling the bulb straight out if that was common sense we wouldn’t be looking up these videos
You saved me 😂
Its also very easy to remove the front bumper to access the other bulbs in the headlight assembly or more easily replace the headlight bulb. About 10-15 mins max to unbolt he top portion of the bumper, 3 bolts for the headlight assembly. 9003 headlight, 7443 turn signal, 2825 corner marker bulb numbers.
Can you show the all the video step by step
What of Freon kind/brand did you use for the 2016 Chevy impala?
I just let the ends cool on their own.
At about the 3 min mark on the ass hole that designed that plug ass backwards 😂. The white thing the plug is plugged into pops out of the door panel and the button part stays in the panel, its like a button in a button and they did this just so they can say Lol watch people think we put this plug in backwards on CZcams not knowing we actually made a puzzle just to fuck with you. Very few others like Me new that plug was designed backwards appearing for a reason. 😂 This is always this ol Girls moment to shine. 🎉Im like Wylie Coyote Super Genius😂 and a smart ass. ❤
brilliant, might use this one
damn good video man
Thanks so much!
Nailed(bolted?) it again , Batman. Hi Dave.
Great job, Batman.
Thanks Anthony! And Dave says hi!!!
Use a countersunk bolt 😉
I taught you well grasshopper 🦗 👍
Yes! I have had some great teachers and mentors in my life.
@@MechanicSecrets 🫡 Carry-on youngster.
What a beautiful weld!
Thanks! I love welding. I wish I could do more and practice more.
So, how does this help tighten a bolt in hard to reach places?
It doesn’t actually do the tightening. It’s shape hits the frame and holds it from turning as you tighten the bolt. It acts as a wrench in places where you can’t fit one.
@@MechanicSecrets Ahh, OK, gotcha.
Wanted to film the installation, which would have answered many questions, but life got in the way.
While PTFE is stable at lower temperatures, it begins to deteriorate at temperatures of about 260 °C (500 °F), it decomposes above 350 °C (662 °F), and pyrolysis occurs at temperatures above 400 °C (752 °F).[24] The main decomposition products are fluorocarbon gases and a sublimate, including tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and difluorocarbene radicals (RCF2).[24] - Wikipedia
Which makes using it for centering a weld, dumb.
Could you put another nut under the metal plate to hold it firmly in place as you weld?
Sure. But you'll still need a way to make sure it's in the center of the hole when you weld it.
#uncageyournuts
You ruined the whole video with that last wise crack. 😞 If you don't like GM, don't work on them.
I just reached my hand back there lol didn’t remove anything
We're you recharging your a/c? Seems tight for a hot engine running while reaching in there. I have meat hooks for hands. Not sure I'd be able to get my hand under there.
Thanks 👍
Don't weld zinc, the smoke can kill you, awesome video!!!
Make sure you replace that plastic coolant hose flange. It disintegrate by 60k miles... Upgrade to aluminum aftermarket. Not worth risking pieces going into engine, radiator, or coolant pump.
Thank you.
Does the jump starter's amp matter through the obd2 port?
No, as long as it can supply constant power while your battery cables are disconnected.
Great video man. Does anyone have a recommendation on a faster pump?
Yea that’s why my calipers are already messed up after 2 weeks
Worked for me, thanks
Un 2019 donde lo tiene
Thank you ❤
You made it look easy, just now followed your video and i had to twist every which way to see what i was doing. 😂 thanks for the video!
Is the outer seal important or the inner seal. Mine was squirting out off a hole in the outer rubber
I got a free sheet of stainless but it's only .060 or about 1/16 thick. Will this just warp if I built a grill out of this thin metal Anyone know?
That is thinner than I would ever attempt to use. And stainless loves to warp.
@@MechanicSecrets awe man, ok thanks
Fast and simple video thanks 😮😮
You are a awesome mechanic 👍
Wow, thank you!!! Experience is a great teacher, if you let it.
I'm about to attempt this on the right side but the mounting seems insanely harder over there. Nowhere to reach!
Jolly good video old boy refreshing to see proper use for a screwdriver
