Lufkin Tape Fail
zhlédnutí 69Před 10 měsíci
Brand new out of the wrapper, used it to lay out a 12 foot partition and it wouldn't retract the first time I used it. The awesome retraction power is the specific reason I bought it after testing all the tapes out that they had. The end of the brake had broken off and gotten lodged in the coils of the tape the one and only time I tried to lock it. Took it apart mad as a hornet because I had ju...

I made this short video for my son to explain to him why he was getting a check engine light in his car. The check engine light along with the vehicle stability control warning light stayed on constantly but didn’t appear to run bad or anything. The first shot is of the two codes that I pulled off the computer. The last shot is a picture I took of the runner control motor as I found it when I t...
Crappy workmanship in watchmaking/ watch repair

Brief lesson to both the prospective watch buyer as well as watchmakers illustrating a few things to think about before buying or volunteering to work on anything as a favor. Also illustrating one horrible example of a previous repair which destroys the value potential of this watch.
BMW E46 handbrake ratchet fix!

I mistakenly referred to this as an E36 in the video but I later corrected myself which isn't really important, how I fixed it is though. BMW doesn't carry a rebuild kit they will only sell you the whole assembly for $160. Although this isn't very expensive as BMW parts go, I wanted to fix it just because it aggravated me and I wanted the challenge. As it turned out it wasn't much of a challeng...

Hardinge HLV-BK tailstock disassembly. In this step I show how to take out the nut for the lead screw. NOTE: You DON'T need a slide hammer. Remove the 1/8' pipe thread plug from the center. Shove the spindle as far back as it will go with the lead screw removed. You may need to drive it back with a hammer and a block of wood or aluminum round stock if it's rusted up or too dirty. Rotate it a li...

Great idea! I have an attic with 60 year old insulation i was quoted 15k to remove and replace. My ass is getting up there with trash bags, dustpan PPE and a leaf sucker.
The bag has to be able to breathe. And, if that leaf sucker isn’t electric, be careful of carbon monoxide.

This does for opel Astra bertone cabrio can you give me an email so I can ask you something please
This repair was on a BMW. I don’t know anything about an Opel and I don’t give out my email.
Nice
That was really.cool.to.fix
Thank you so much. I was wondering what that spring was for on top of the bolt. Mine must of come loose and was jammed in sideways and I never knew what it did or what it was for. This helped me tremendously.
also the is350 doesn't have the swirl flps and is not direct injector
actully i am thinking to take mine out totally . that can brake the engine if one of the screw fall in the engine . i had mine complety open (with check engine light ON) and no different make apart the it was given a good kick ...
Sabe me informar onde acho essa peça completa pra comprar
Any advice is your screw to take down the bolt is still staked in?
Not sure what you mean.
I’m working on a 16 ga right now that has a broken firing pin and the screw is staked ! Maybe someone had them work loose and staked them , or it could have been factory .

Part number for the Runner? Can’t find a part for it.
this video was so extremely helpful. thank you for taking the time to post this!
You’re entirely welcome. I’m glad you got some use out of it.👍
i have rebuilt the whole intake runner and replaced the sensors and the code still won’t clear.
It has been so long since I did this, I can’t remember the code. Bank lean or rich? Leaking and or rotted, cut vacuum hoses will also cause these type codes. Also bad POV or CCV systems can do it also.
Tim, I'd like to reach out and say thanks for the video you did 4 years ago on BMW vert top repair. I would have never guessed that about the 2 screws for the mouldings on the side windows. Have great weekend from North Carolina Thanks Rick
Thanks for the info, is it possible you would sell or do mods to E46330CI to match this?
What do you mean “do mods”?
Any advice on trigger group takedown? Need to figure out why my safety isn’t moving back and forth.. seems like the little ball bearing that holds it is stuck, dosent move unless I pry it up and slide the safety over
I’d have to take mine apart and just figure it out just like you would. So no I don’t have any ideas off the top of my head.
Thanks for that video I check mine today and when I remove de sensor the little nut was completely out,I put back with Little bit of locknut glue but Still have the issue the RPM don’t pass 4500
The problem for some (including me) is that the plastic on the hook end of the rod disintegrates and falls off. So, it's no longer thick enough to hook/catch and stay on the end of the boomerang shaped piece.
Same issue here as well.
@@medianetwork7972 I was able to remove the rod, wrap the hook end in electrical tape, and after some experimentation and luck, was able to get it back into the right orientation in the mechanism. I now have a replacement e-brake sitting on the shelf, but but the temporary fix is holding up. I'm careful to fully press the button, pull the lever, and then release. As long as it catches, it's good. It's not relying on the electrical tape for anything other than holding the rod in place when the brake is not engaged.
The issue I am facing: e46 330ci, car storage cover does not open during top down/up sequence. I pulled out the rear seat and see the CVM motor is moving and the latch is engaging to unlock storage cover. What could be the problem? Here is the video link: czcams.com/video/YRGpqLheUVw/video.html

i love you!! Great video!

Whats the size of the bolt inside the black block .?
If I remember it was a 5/16” I had laying around. A 1/4” will work but I wouldn’t go any smaller.
Did you clear the code when you out everything back together? I have the same problem
Very helpful thx for the video .
Yessir, you’re entirely welcome.
That last part you showed with the bolt without loctite. Is that the runner actuator?
I guess that would be a good name for it. I put that nut shown in the still photo at the end of the video back on the gear shaft with red loctite. That last pic shows how I found it when I opened the actuator. Nut just laying in the housing. Pitiful design.
@@stearman gotcha. Did your son say he had grinding noises at random times while driving? That's what I've been having happen and I'm wondering if that nut could be the culprit
Thank you sir I have the same code on my lexus will check that but to see if it backed out and can I use lock tite to make sure it doesn't back out again
Yes, use blue lock tite, or for a more permanent bond, use red.
Hello, I also have a problem (code:P2006 make manifold air control operator,bank1 - actuator stick closed) Please help me. And where do you sell the parts?
If only new this video existed! It took me a while to figure out, thanks you for the video I have 1958 hlv-bk
That’s how I did it, after calling Hardinge to no avail, like you, I just figured it out. I had tried although very gingerly, using a slide hammer which is a BAD idea. I posted this video to hopefully keep others from ruining their tailstock.
@@stearman I know man I was using the slide hammer as well but nothing but finally figured it out in the end
ditto ...!! ...1986 hlvh
You got a part number I can get my Lexus is doing that too
My MOD 12 / 20 ga fires and ejects spent shells but does not load from the magazine tube to the receiver. Any idea what is wrong with my MOD 12 ?
Would a weak firing pin spring cause it to misfire sometimes? My model 12 is doing that. Thanks I appreciate it much
Possibly. I’d also look to see if the tip is conical or partially broken off.
@@stearman Thanks
After I put it back together the firing pin doesn't move freely like it did before I disassembled it. It feels like it is scraping against something. How do I fix this?
I can’t tell without seeing it in my hands. I’d take it back apart and fit each part one at a time and make sure it moves freely before adding another part. You’ll figure it out that way.
What length and widrh did u make the pieces
Jesse Pacheco I didn’t have a set measurement. I made them as thick and wide as I could to span as much surface area as was available in those little pockets in the plastic to both thread it to accept a bolt and to spread the tension the tightened bolt would create in hopes that it wouldn’t crack the plastic any more than it already was. A flat washer and a nut would work just as well, this is just material I had laying around my shop so I used it.
Anyone have any tips troubleshooting mine. I have abandoned the hydraulics years ago and just manually lifted and pulled back the top while using this electric roof latch. Then recently I went to close it and the roof latch didn't work. No noise at all. It didn't make any unusual noises before failing either. I checked the switch in the trunk for the shelf. I also checked the fuses and they all appear to be fine.
Brian Ross I’m afraid what I showed on this video is about the extent of my knowledge on it. This car got totaled not long after this video was made by a flood. I’ll never own one again.
This was a life saver indeed. Thanks for the video. It is great to have the advice of someone who has done it to help me miss the typical mistakes.

Great video! Easy to follow, explains everything, got my problem fixed in no time!
If I was an algorithm I would tell that this was written by a robot to hype the video.

None of my videos are revenue earning or monetized. They are free informational attempts, by me, to help those with the problems these are intended to help solve.

Thanks for your time and knowledge💯💯
This is the best video out there for a Model 12 firing pin replacement! Thank you for leaving making it and leaving it up.
Hi, Tim great video, I need some guidance from the beginning...meaning how to release the top to get to the gear. Any help would be appreciated
Most all the videos I post are of the “how to” variety for the sole purpose of helping the public out. My videos are not flashy or edited really, and they’re not for profit. Just free information that will hopefully help my fellow man solve a misery or two. I’m glad so many have found these useful.
I've just fiddled around with mine. Same scenario, hook had slipped out somehow. I've slipped it back in, stretched the spring and the magical racheting can be heard again, cheers for the video
Thanks for the video. I wanted to see those swirl control valves up close. Those butterfly valves are there to change the swirl pattern as the air enters the combustion chamber. When the valves are closed, the swirl is horizontal to the piston top. When the valves are open, the swirl is vertical to the piston top. The swirl patterns are there to promote good air and fuel mixture. The valve that changes the runner length is in the plastic upper intake manifold (air surge tank) and is part of the Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS). Your video is way cooler than the diagram in the manual. Thank you!
Why do you idiots feel you need to make dumb ads videos
My top wouldn't close the entire way. Started hearing little pieces of plastic tinkling down (That part you just repaired.) If your blue top is still available, I wouldn't mind driving the 4 hours to you to get it.
I don’t know where you’d be coming from but it is yours. I was about to haul it to the dump. Good timing.
@@stearman I've fixed my top using your tutorial and the e46 message board, but I'd still like to get that top for R&R for manufacturing a brass replacement part. I already have a guy that is a great machinist that I need donor parts to send to so he can make the parts. Due to fixing my house I wasn't able to come to you last weekend, but I will contact when I can make the drive to you. Don't throw it away!
Watcher Watchmen The top was given away. You eventually came and got it and I thank you for getting that thing out of my way.
Do you know how to remove the extractor? On mine the screw that the firing pin reset bar pivots on is broken off. Instead of trying to extract what was left of the screw tip i found a stripped bolt and have moved everything to the new bolt except the extractor. Looking at the new bolt it looks like the spring tension is what is holding it nut I cant see how to release it. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I figured it out! Hold the extractor from the side with a pair pliers and rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees then pull strait out. I pointed the bolt face into a small plastic container in case the spring and follower came flying out but they were pretty gunked up and had to be worked out. Putting it in the new bolt was a matter of putting the spring and follower in their hole, holding the extractor with the claw side up then using the flat on the side of the extractor to compress the spring while pushing it into the recess and finally rotating it 90 degrees clockwise. If I had to do it again I doubt that it would take 2 minutes.
Curtis Reinke using that plastic tub or a plastic bag was a wise move on your part. Looking for crap that flew into the next county sucks!
Thank you for posting.
Just picked up a 2003 and it won’t latch. Everything else seems to cycle fine right up to the point of the latches locking in the top. I purchased it this way.
How long to remove the motor?
Which one, the one in the center that drives the two latches? 10 minutes for that one.
