I'm not a mechanic by any means and have never done anything even close to replacing a car stereo. I watched your video relentlessly and it made the whole process a piece of cake. Explaining how to crimp and attach the wiring helped tremendously. Thank you very much for the straightforward and easy tutorial!
Those heat shrink butt connectors are really overkill in my opinion. In fact if your stereo cables were tiny like mine, you'd probably be better off using some 18 gauge twisty cable connectors as even after crimping on the smallest setting, the wire would fall right out of the heat shrink types.
I would check the main cable adjustment under the center console first. Remove the console and look at the yoke and see what happens when you pull the brake lever up. if one side pulls more than the other then try disconnecting the cable that doesn't move from both ends and see if you can manually move it. If it moves freely, then its probably out of adjustment, which can be done at the brake lever yoke assembly.
5:25. music was pretty loud there..I couldn't understand you well. But thank you much for the video . I'm curious if the front is exactly the same AND would I need a torch to heat that sucker up to get it off.
Hi - have been able to - NOT without a LOT of struggle however, loosen the dashboard console but, angle is TERRIBLE for me to effectively access, disconnect two remaining power junctions from EITHER bucket seat - one appears to have its clip, other I can't see ANY sign of it; stick shift needs to be MOVED with emergency brake on and key in ignition each time.....might you have advice as to separating, unfreezing those plugs? May try a recommendation of needle-nose pliers to apply maximum pressure on the former's.....
Hey do you recall having any luck playing a burned CD-R on the stock head unit? I think my stereo is about dead, it will play a regular CD but often takes reinserting a few times to work. My burned discs are stuck with error 6. Thank you for this guide, I'm going to need a new one in it very soon, just got my 2006 model the other day.
Helped a lot with the information provided, thanks! One thing to note is that I got the bracket that holds the cable to the rear caliper out with a hammer and some heat.
Just a thought, why not just leave the brake caliper on the disc and lift it off together? I feel you safe like 10 small steps then, including pumping the brakes after which can be dangerous to forget. Never changed a wheel bearing, but I will try it next week when the parts arrive
