If you own stuff it's inevitably going to break. Being and homeowner and having two teenagers it seems like I have ended up with a second full time job, fixing all the broken crap! Fortunately I inherited my dad's mechanical aptitude and an ability to fix or jury rig just about anything mechanical. I was helping my dad with home projects, in the garage fixing bicycles and motorcycles and building stuff out of wood at the age of 8. Keep in mind I am not a professional, plumber, electrician, machinist, welder, etc. These videos are just a visual description of how I personally repaired a broken item so please only "attempt at your own risk". I do hope that some of these videos will provide ideas and inspire folks to try and fix it before throwing it away and save a few bucks in the long run. Please like and subscribe if you found the videos helpful. Thanks for watching.
How much clogged was it? I'm about to try some alternatives to see if they make any difference or not, by using either Bg44k or liqui moly catalytic clean, Were you able to solve the oil consumption issue btw?
What a piece of garbage this car is . Mine filled up with mold because of the tons of water that leaks into the car from the panoramic roof plastic frame cracking on both sides of the roof because of the disgusting rear suspension design that twists the car's rear end when going over bumps . Your car body has probably twisted and that's why the hatch now scrapes the roof section
I could not find the original order in my emails but I'm pretty sure the part I ordered was this one. I'm not 100% positive but try it and keep me posted. The pictures seem to be correct but you never know... I assume no responsibility if it's not correct for your vehicle. ucarpart.com/products/2006-2019-nissan-frontier-25560-zl44a-clock-spring-2-wires-small-open-center-25560-9bh3a-25560-9bh4a-25560-9bh0b-generic?_pos=2&_sid=c20f2485e&_ss=r
Appreciate the heads up on the diameter and trying to give some advice. I'm not being lazy or anything but it would save a lot of headaches out there if you just showed what you order on that website you mentioned. A lot misrepresented mod numbers out there.
I suppose. As the hex opening in a 7mm socket has sharp edges I'm thinking it would ding the glass breaker up a bit. The drill chuck is a perfect fit (at least my Dewalt is) so no marring at all.
would have helped a lot if you would put part number for the good one.. i bought a car that had a wrong one fitted with some glued on pieces so the sensor would work for a while.. but i cant find the part number for the one i need.. Could you go through purchase history and find it please?
my mother is having the same issue with the engine burning to much oil and they dealership just told us to replace the CAT but hasnt mentioned it was because the oil is being burned up! We also live in California and need to find a person to do a CAT replacement by any chance is your guy in Northern Cal?
is there anything behind the screw holding it together, or you just screwed it in. Are those special screws? You used the towel to push the spoiler and trunk together?
Jam rag or something soft in gap between edge of roof and spoiler to push down on spoiler while drilling and putting screws in. Drill hoes small enough so screws bite. Nothing special about screws except use short ones, like 3/8" long.
I just bought this chair today I’m 6’1 and 330lbs and have had trouble with breaking other recliners.how is the chair doing for you now since it’s been a couple of years?
Mechanically it's holding up well. Seat cushion is somewhat mashed down on the one side. My teenage son was laying on his stomach on it fully reclined. I think he kneed the inside of the one armrest :)
I'm your size and just got this Astor. Took the 1" plastic legs off my old recliner , drilled holes in the Astor base and attached them . Got rid of that pressure behind the knees when just sitting and rocking. Thanks for the tip
Nice rig. I just picked up a jogging stroller by the side of the road for free. Will doing something similar. No need to get carried away and too customized. Thanks!
How did it go? I just changed the clock spring on my path as cruise control stopped working, I put the old vdc on the new one as it came without it. Everything working good now, cruise control back on. 👌🏼 I'm just wondering how I can check if the vdc is working now. 🤔
Went well. Airbag and VDC light were on. VDC went out after driving. Airbag light, did the 3 ignition cycles (make sure you do the shut offs on the first blink) last cycle it slow blinks, shut off, take key out for 10 sec, put key back in, turn to on, light went out. No more dash lights :)
My original UTX screws were too short to hold the chassis together properly. So I ordered some torx screw replacement that work but they don't seem to come in bead blast grey tumbled finish like the originals.
good idea! how does it work? I picked up a stroller today and this looks like what i will do with mine, going to use it for sporting clays and whatever else. you like those racks for holding the firearms so far?.
Works great. Used it about half a dozen times so far. I do like the racks but be careful with them when its folded up and stored because they do kind of stick out. I could see them getting broken off if banged hard enough. Lovely plastic :)
I have the same ceiling and tool but the tool is really made for siding so I found the angles are not right and the hook edge is too blunt to slip in between the overlap, so I ground down shorter the hook edge to allow it catch the overlap edge better , I also sharpened the inside of the hook to a putty knife edge..it did work better but it was very hard to break loose. (at the initial unzipping It’s kinda like breaking the bead on a tire) also I think warming with a heat gun will allow the break to be easier as long as you don’t overheat too much and on too narrow a spot because it will just bend without unzipping.. I would feel as I heat to make sure it’s evenly getting warmed for at least a foot on either side….PS I used a heat gun as careful as possible but it’s too hard to judge when you go too far as the material is so thin it distorts once you pull at it ,so unless your doing it to get to room temp I wouldn’t do it..I reheated and tried to reshape, its almost the same but it’s impossible to get it back to factory profile
@@everythingisbroken7280 Figured out a way to do it btw ! Just to update. We heat gunned it to make it more elastic. Not too much to warp it just to worm it up. The following 2 buildings we did went easier and didn’t need to heat. They didn’t leave 1/4 gap that you’re suppose to leave on first building. Thanks tho the vid did help !
Check out the link below. Keep in mind, they will not fit newer ultratechs. I can only say for sure that they fit my 2005 ultratech. Check this out on Amazon #1-64 x 1/8" Coarse Thread Socket Head Cap Screw Stainless Steel 18-8 Pk 100 a.co/d/55WyrZn
Great mod. How are the cushions holding up for you? I just purchased this Astor as well because of my size. Hopefully, it was a well worth purchase and will hold up over time.
Ive done the same "mod" and just did a tiny bit on sanding on the edges, feels alot more premium now also. The FRN feels cheap as it is, sharp edges is making it feel even cheaper. With a rounded off edge its alright!
