Cast Iron Challenge. Restoring and seasoning a rusty old pot to new.
An old cast iron pan, pot or skillet that appears beyond repair may actually be easier than you think to restore. In this video I use Barkeeper’s Friend and steel wool to scrub the dirt, debris and rust. Then I do 2 rounds of seasoning on a 500 degree bbq grill with canola oil.

Sodastream broken button lever replacement, installation step by step.

If you’ve got a broken button, or lever, on your Sodastream, you’re not alone. It’s a common problem. Luckily someone on Etsy is 3D printing replacement parts and they work even better than the original. Here’s where you can buy the part used in this video (note that I am not being paid for this link. I’m just a happy customer.) www.etsy.com/listing/1348608192/release-lever-for-sodastream-fizzi...
How to get a car into neutral if the battery is dead (shifter on steering column)

    I wasn’t sure if this was common. So I started investigating, and found myself here 😁. While changing the lower control arm, I found it easiest to start the body bolts and then lineup the ball joint. I left the brake assembly also attached. I used the rotor to rotate the axle, which made it much easier to turn. Hope this helps someone. Thanks for the video and reassurance that I didn’t just mess something up 🦾

  • @martinbuschau3209
    @martinbuschau3209 Před 11 dny

    I was replacing the struts on both sides and the lower ball joint on the passenger side of my 2008 Sienna when the passenger side CV axel popped off the inner CV joint housing. I was using the jack to lift the rotor to help line up the new ball joint's bolts with the control arm - in hindsight not the best way to do it. I had an oil catch pan I threw down to catch most of the dripping grease. Actually I was surprised with how little grease there was and although it had the consistency of syrup it did sort of re-gel up when stationary. Once I got the grease mess under control, I tried in vain to try to get the CV axel's 3 bearings back into the housing. I jiggled and worked different angles but couldn't get the bearings any more than part way in. I also looked up this video and tried the ratchet strap idea but everything was probably so far out of alignment that it had little to no hope. So I decided to finish installing the ball joint and struts which would help line up the knuckles on both sides with the CV axels and then try again. Note, I did not install the big bolts between the passenger side knuckle and the that new strut but I did work the strut's bracket onto the knuckle's mounting arm as best I could (I had a punch loosely sitting in the top hole). Once that was all done I then put the minivan into Neutral and with my mechanic wanna-be daughter watching me I rotated the rotor and jiggled everything as best I could. And within a couple of rotations I noticed the bearings suddenly moved inwards, and then within less than a half a turn later there was a satisfying thunk as the bearings seated fully into the back of the housing. That was a BIG YAAAY from me. I didn't want to be one that called the tow truck after reading the many excellent comments here. Then I fully installed the passenger side strut, cleaned up the housing and boot with a little spray nine and blue shop towels and tried to fit the boot back over the rim of the housing - to no avail - the angle of the outer CV axel was too great and was pulling on the top part of the boot. So NOW I jacked up the rotor 3 or 4 inches to lessen the axel's angle and tried again - this time with only a little persuasion it popped into place. I took the boot off again and picked up a 90g tube of premium molybdemum grease (supposedly one tube is good for a joint), a new CV joint clamp and CV clamp pliers (I had the guy that sold me the pliers demo how to use them - helped a lot). I used some advice my mechanic brother-in-law gave me and put a little moly grease on my finger at a time and worked the grease over as much of the three bearings that I could touch. His concern was time would be needed for proper grease circulation to get established with the bearings so this in theory wouldn't start them off dry. Then with the remaining grease I squeezed it into the inside of the boot (as far in as I could get it - awkward from being on my back on the garage floor with not a ton of room) and quickly worked the boot onto the housing until it popped into place. I then had my daughter hold the new hose clamp in position while I got the CV pliers in place over the square crush locking tab. The thing I kept in mind was to push hard with the pliers against the square tab while slowly squeezing the handles shut. Worked like a charm! I've now driven the minivan over 10 miles and it feels and sounds good. Now for the front end alignment. THANK YOU LUKE FOR THIS VIDEO! It gave me pause and hope to overcome the sudden shock of dealing with a popped out CV axle. The other commenters here also provided golden words of advice. MUCH APPRECIATED!

    🙏🙏🙏Thank you, Luke. Without seeing your video, I would have had a whole lot more problems than one might imagine. I have two washrooms with the exact same situation as in your video. Initially, I really didn't have a clue how to fix it. The water leaking was so severe that it caused my basement to flood, almost damaging my AC unit. Of course, my house's main pipe has a crack somewhere, so the leaked water ran alongside the outer layer of the main pipe from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor and down to the basement. Years before, it was just a few occasional drops, but with two toilets leaking 24/7, it was a totally different story. I even prepared a plan to evacuate all the stuff from the basement to avoid the leaks. I put whole piles of old newspapers to soak up the excessive water; in just two hours, 10 inches (22 cm) of thick newspapers got wet! Then, I started looking on CZcams for help and was extremely lucky to encounter your video. Now, one washroom is completely fixed; the second one is waiting to be de-calcified (as I mixed warm water with vinegar to dissolve the mineral deposits that have accumulated over the years inside the tank). Great credit goes to your video for relieving all my concerns. Truly, thank you for your practical site. Many thanks and warm regards. Great work lasts forever! 🙏🙏🙏

      How old is the faucet itself? After a while the woven material around the retractable tubing can fray or become worn, and eventually it doesn’t slide easily anymore. If it’s a newer faucet, check to make sure that the weight isn’t getting hung up on something under the sink, like other plumbing supply lines or cleaning supplies.
