[@dondoes4303]

How do you properly recycle coolant? No one takes it that I know of. Thanks in advance.

[@alexbenites4608]

How do you know if the water pump is bad . By the way i love watching your videos very helpful and precise.

[@joseyamaguchi9075]

the video is great but one thing he missing was the silicone on the gasket on the water pump he didn't put any silicone but otherwise the video was fantastic

[@michaellaprade4100]

I have a 2002 Ford explorer and I have a coolant leak on the left side would you say that could be the water pump or the seal

[@forrealestate6732]

What is that attachment called that he used to break the fan clutch nut? It attached to the air ratchet.

[@AbuctingTacos]

how tf did you get the fan off so easy?

[@killemall1983]

my explorer has gone thru 3 water pumps in the last 6 months. any ideas why?

[@pokemoncollector2676]

Could a bad seal on the water pump cause leakage?

[@sorro_tek9599]

Yes there is water head gasket sealents for that . Let it dry well.

[@hollygarman5318]

How long does this take to do if you are an actual mechanic?
