    I replaced the oil pressure switch on my daughters only about a month ago and the oil light has come on tonight and oil is again leaking from the connector but I've noticed from this video that the connector plug doesn't fit tightly and it looks like there might be a bit missing off the plug, is it easy to replace the connector itself? Thanks

      @LarcsWorkshop Před 6 dny

      @@MillerExplores . People on here have said that they've had replacement pressure switches fail prematurely too. The plug shouldn't need to hold back any oil. If it's just the plastic part that's damaged, you could probably get a replacement from a breakers yard and unpin the old one into the replacement one. Good luck sorting it out 🤞.

    Nice video. I also have a question, whet torque do you appy to the hub/knuckle assemby? I had a bad experience with that as one new stud broke when I tightenend to 60 foo-pounds. I last tightenned them up to 70 foot-pound without a problem. Where do you get new original (not fake) ones? Do you ever change them when changing bearings? What is the spec of this studs as they have different markings from convetional ones, I only see the number 7 in the head so I do not have enough specs to buy a replacement innother brand.
