This is simple physics but you can try it with something else besides your car, a heavy bin or wood plank for example. For every degree of inclination, you need to exercise more force and the stress on the lifting point is greater. Lifting the car like you did by having the back side on ramps, is an incline sufficiently angled as to multiply the force needed to lift it and to stress the lifting point of the car. The slipping contributed and aggravated the inertia, but was not the main factor.

Experience is a great teacher. You get the lesson first and then time to study for it afterwards.

These are not hate comments. You're blaming the failure on the jack, the pucks, the concrete, when really it's all you. Get a moving pad and get down on your back and look; don't be so lazy.

Don’t worry bro..I paused it at exactly 4.40 so you don’t have to ruin your car. Saved you some headache.

I can see why you did it, but its still wrong and user caused. Two things went wrong; doubling the pucks, and a very uneven concrete surface. Jacks move as you lift the vehicle. Think about it, the jack arm lifts, and the point of force is moved toward the rear of the jack. The arm moves in an arc, not a straight up motion. Obviously, the car will not move, so the body of the jack rolls forward and is pulled under the vehicle. That beat up concrete did not allow the jack body to move toward point of contact. As you lifted up, the arms point of contact moved further away from the car instead of rolling underneath with the travel. The force of the lift probably would have forced the jack under if it were metal on metal, but the pucks got you. Sorry about the damage.

So, you used jenga pieces to lift up a Lexus with a crappy jack. Thank you for explaining your stupidity.

Where did u get the tool u used to twist the fuel injector tool?

You did everything right, except for using hockey pucks as your spacer. Spacers should always be 1 piece. NEVER use 3 pieces stack on top of each other on a portable lift unless you bolt all 3 pieces together. Those type of lifts tend to pull the car towards you while its lifting the car. Causing the spacers to slip apart. I would never use hockey pucks on a jack anyway. They are naturally designed to be slippery and slide 😂. I use hard rubber lift blocks because they have high friction and grip and don't slip. If I have no rubber lift blocks, then I use hard wood blocks because the pinch point on the car will put an indention in the wood and cause it to lock in place and resist slipping. Sorry if you already heard this before. I didn't read all the comments. 👍

Hey why not get some round bar stock the diameter and thickness of those pucks and weld them to your jack pad or have a machinist make a steel pad that'll slip over your jack pad like those hard rubber ones. Still need to solve the problem nes pas?

That’s one crowded engine bay.. Thought working on my Merc was hard but this is another level

Buddy I'm not hating on you but if you believe in accidents, you shouldn't be a mechanic. Anything that goes wrong can be avoided.

One or two pieces of 2x4 are much safer to use on a Jack than those things.

😂 I owned a 2008 ISF and until this day no power adders. Can’t crack the ECU is the issue to increase boost. Sold ISF because of that. No aftermarket for Lexus v8 platform unfortunately.

JACK YOUR CAR BY THE FRONT CENTER jACK POINT ON THE CROSS MEMBER…. Why the FUCK are you purposely going the most risky route? You already know its iffy from that pinch weld. Its 100% on you. PERIOD.

It really helped me a lot. First time DIY but had lots of confidence due to the detailed video. Car brakes like new, so satisfying!! Thanks a lot.

Where do you get the VL1 block?

it wasn't a jack fail, it was user error.

Thank you for the vid buddy, learned a lot. I'm sure that these guys who writes these hate comments wont see it that coming and will do the same mistake... well, it's easy to comment a mistake once you see the fail. Keep the good work!

Wow dude, 100% wrong. Preload does not do anything to change spring rate. This is basic information and you failed.

Man just thank you.

Great Video! Thanks. Not sure wana do this to mine anytime soon 😂

Great Trump supporter impression 😂😂😂😂😂

Whatever happen, it was your fault. Not a big deal just own it and move on.

whered you get the spacers from?

I have an M6 F06 with DME stage 3 tune with Fabworx catless down pipes for 6 years and pass emissions every year in NY , (no spacers) 3 years ago I sent my car to TJ @ Pure Performance to have the engine forged and still passes , DME stage 3 tune , Fabworx catless DPs ,SSP spec R clutch , PG intakes and charge coolers ,JB4 for map control and Meth control , Akra full ti exhaust , running VP speed sauce 20/80

I have emissions due in March on turbo catless Civic

🎉🎉🎉🎉

You might want to add that you do have high flow catted downpipe and not a catless system. People may still be having real issues with catless downpipes

Bummer, sorry dude. Looks like floor condition was root cause. Jack needs to roll to avoid side load and it wont roll on that texture. Stacking flat pucks to slide against each didn't help.

That had to be a shitty day! Literally that could of happened to anyone with those conditions

Great vide. Did u change the seals for the injectors aswell?

Boring dude.

The hockey pucks are an issue, but what’s more likely is the uneven concrete. The jack was pushing out in the video…

I also have a Honda Accord ... where did you end up mounting the carpodgo?

Props bro. Must have been hard relieving the accident. 🙏🙏👏👏

Looks good. How did you heal from anxiety. You have any sleep problems ?

Thank you! very helpful. works for me.

does the 2015 rc 350 have the same transmission can i do this the same way?

Now that more time has passed, do you have the desire to go full catless dp? Im currently stock with my M6 and cant decide between catted CTS or full catless

Hi I'm on 0.010 when jump to zero?

Thanks for the explanation. I hate jacking up newer cars

Your a tardian 😂no excuses

get a $10 fluid pump at harbor freight and make your life easier...unlike how he did it..haha😅

Interesting method. You must be very sensitive to the adjustments if you have to shave pills to taper off of them. I have tapered benzos before as well and have never been that accurate with it. Just a pill cutter. Of course they were never even for the most part, but it worked. Then again, I have only done relatively fast tapers. You must have been on for a long time if you had to taper that way. Since this was 3 years ago, hope you're doing well now!

from 1-10 how difficult is this

You have to allow the Jack to walk forward

1st mistake is doing it t 27 000 miles. I can already tell it's gonna be bright red fluid coming out of there without even watching the video. wayyyy to early.

When this guy says, hold my beer, I'll jack your car up, and you go under it's safe, don't.

I do roadside assistance once i got a car like that was imposible to lift it up with that jack i had to use the factory one
