Thank you! Someone sprayed some sticky substance on the side of my car. I tried washing and rubbing, but it was still there. As you suggested the WD40 worked like a charm.
At my local QuikTrip they told me to "simply put the towing vehicle on the front pad and the travel trailer on the second pad". They gave me a printout of "axle 1" (called it the vehicle) and "axle 2" (trailer). When I asked about the weight off of the trailer by being attached to vehicle, they looked like I was crazy! Said no need to reweigh without tralier. Are they right? I'm a little clueless when it comes to this stuff.
They were wrong. Do it as done in the video for the best accuracy and to check your distribution of weight. A poorly loaded trailer can sway and in extreme cases flip your tow vehicle. Spend another $4.
I don’t know what the big deal is removing the OEM drain plug. I guess you save 3 minutes doing an oil change? Maybe not because it takes oil longer to drain. Not for me
Cliff, thanks for the video. Was very helpful to me. I think you forgot to advise folks to remove oil filler cap before draining oil. That way, less oil will be left in the filter. To avoid a big mess when removing the oil filter, loosen it until you can turn by hand, then feed a big ziploc bag up around the housing. Any spills will go in the bag, not on your car!
I have a four point harness strapped to a seat brace bar. Someone said that I might be better off with slack in the shoulder harnesses so that I can fly forward and have the airbag stop me rather than being strapped back and my neck breaking.
Cliff, a question: I am installing a rear-view camera which mounts directly above the license plate. If I remove the rear spoiler, will that give me enough wiggle room to be able to route the wiring into the cabin without removing the whole bumper cover?
IIRC, the spoiler mechanism doesn't extend down into the bumper cavity, so no. The only realistic way is to remove the rear bumper cover, which really isn't that hard. I did a video on the process, just search for it on the channel. There's a rubber grommet on the left-ish side of the bumper cavity where some wiring is already being routed, that's the simplest way to route your camera wire.
This really just applies for intake resonator right? Not the resonator that is connected to the exhaust because now I’m worried that I made a mistake taking mine off. 😅
Cliff, sorry, late comment. At about 5:45 about the clip unplugged that is part of the seat belt buckle, you didn't mention that once that belt clip is installed on the new seat it needs to be clipped back in on the connector on the floor, so that the seatbelt sensor is retained.
I am sorry Cliff, but you work too hard and have too many situations to allow trouble and and possible injury of falling pieces of steel. I recently rebuilt my King Kutter Bush Hog. Not having assistants to help, I put a chain on the tail wheel and the loader of my tractor. Lifting the mower from the tail wheel to a point where the mower can be set on the 3 point tree. Lowered the loader down to rest on the wheel structure. An additional chain was attached to disallow any movement or a chance to falling. Place in park and block the wheels on the tractor. With the top and the bottom of the mower vertical, access to both is simple! I used my socket and breaker bar with a pipe to remove both blade pivot bolt nuts. With the mower vertical, the knives and bolts were retained hanging the stump jumper assembly. I could remove each blade, one at a time. I did have one bolt was installed with the key not in the keyway forcing me to use a brass rod and drive it out.. Then I removed the castle nut. One good whack with he brass rod against the center shaft (SLIGHT TAPER)the stump jumper was loose and removed it. Nothing fell to the ground or on anyone. Removed the gearbox to rebuild... Complete, mounted back on and put the stump jumper back on. Put the bolts of the knives, in the correct hole, with the key in the keyway. Walked around the mower to the access port. Placed the washer and nut back on. Tightened the nut on both blades. I am sorry for getting wordy... My point was that the mower can be set in a safe working angle to do the job for one person and locate all parts correctly, with out assistance, or the parts falling to result in possible injury.
Basilar skull fractures are fatal almost every time crashing with a harness seat belt on is insanely dangerous with out the straps that attach to your helmet to keep your head from snapping forward. And I’m assuming no one with race bucket seats and harness ever is only driving slow…your hauling ass so an accident with a harness like that will be your last drive pretty much.
I'm completely unconvinced that this is a worthwhile improvement. The only positive I can see is that on an aluminum pan, you are not wearing out the threads by threading the drain plug in & out of the oil pan every single oil change.
I would prefer a test where you drain it first level and measure the amount by volume or weight then fill it as specified and raise it and do the exact same measurement.
Painting OSB is not a good idea to begin with. One side is treated (wax) the other is not. Regardless, it's not designed to be an exposed surface in any application.
Possibly, kind of a pain to move all that around, tho. An airless sprayer has the ability to mount the paint container directly onto the unit and a really long hose.
Can i use the 3m product or wd40 to remove adhesive from duct tape on my epoxy covered garage floor without damaging the epoxy finish on the floor? Thanks for this video.
@@CliffsGarage Thank you . i took precauthions and ended up being able to remove everything with a combo of green cleaner..wd40..some goof off and a kitchen bristle pad my wife uses to clean out pots and pans. Voila! This video gave me the confidence to not worry about damaging the epoxy! Thanks so much.
For me it's an issue with the valve being the part that allows the oil to flow, what if the valve gets debris in it and sticks partially open? Or goes bad? Nope, will stick with the simple plug. Thanks
