Fix Your Air Conditioning with A/C Pro | DIY AC Repair Toyota Tacoma
Is your AC not blowing cold air?! Fix that thing the simple easy way. If your AC compressor and clutch are working then you probably just need a refill on your AC refrigerant. I bought this at O'Reilly and it still works several weeks later. Don't pay lot's of money at the mechanic shop, just do it yourself.
I did this on my 2008 Toyota Tacoma, but it should be the same on almost all cars, the only difference is the location of your low and high pressure hoses.

2008 Toyota Tacoma Front Brakes, New Pads and Resurface Rotors
zhlédnutí 38Před měsícem
Save lots of money and do your own brakes. Save more money by getting your rotors resurfaced. Store wanted $180 for new rotors. These were fine and just needed to be cut to get rid of the grooves. If you change your pads before they get this bad you probably don't even need resurfacing. Custom Offsets Wheels www.customwheeloffset.com/ Music provided by: Causmic - Two Face

    • @SanDiego_VDubLife

      Good question. This was last year, so don’t remember exactly. I believe it is roomy so maybe eight. Depending on interior choice. The camper option seats less.

  • @ggolds5
    @ggolds5 Před 6 dny

    I want to RAISE the rear 1 inch. Actually 1.5 but I don't think that's doable . SO, I watched how you lowered it, can I raise it the same way or does the plate hit the stop?. Do I actually have to take off the entire drum and brakes or is there a way to just leave it on to make the adjustment?. Thanks for your help.

    • @SanDiego_VDubLife
      @SanDiego_VDubLife Před 5 dny

      Yes! Absolutely. You can do what I did but just turn the spring plate up instead of down. As far as how much it’s difficult to know how much it will raise until you do it. There is also the option of turning the torsion bar by pulling it out and reinserting at a different position. As far removing the drum I think it depends on what year you have. I don’t remember having to do this on my bug so it might just be a bus thing since the brake line goes through the brake housing.

    This is exactly the kit I used for my Beetle, however on my Beetle (2001) it took a bit more "creativity" On my Beetle the screws are set way deeper, so if you somplt put the magnetic catch in, it is too deep to catch the metal disc on the lid. Also they are at an odd angle and will not contact the lid nice and flat. So Beetle owners, if you want this kit to work, you have to be a bit more creative. Do like I did and mount the magnets at the very top edge of the glove box. I dropped the glove box, and epoxy in a wooden strip of square right behind the upper lip of the glove box. Then after the epoxy is all set, drill a 12mm hole, but do not go all the way threw your wood, just a hole threw the plastic to expose the wood. The mount the magnets with the screw provided into the wood. Set your black metlel catch prices onto your lid on the perfect contacting spot and your good. The Beetle has to be different and difficult, but it works marvelous 👍

    I think you can turn the tie-rod tube without taking out the tie-rod end. It's the reason why they have opposite threads at each side. Some tie-rod bars have a flat side portion so you can get a wrench on it once you've undone the locknuts.
