I like to find and share creative ways to deal with the mechanical problems that are a part of our everyday lives. My training is in electronics and industrial electrical maintenance. And I was an English major in college. So I like to write and I post these procedures first on my website "The Original Mechanic." Then I put together a video version. Most of these videos are vehicle related but I also like to develop creative solutions to common problems many of us face, such as removing a pick-up truck topper or organizing a tool box. My hope is that you can make some use of these videos in solving some of your own problems. Feel free to comment or ask questions. Thanks for watching and I wish you success in your own projects.
Really liked the video for not removing the carb. I did notice however that you seemed to miss the main jet in the screw. From video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ARoojl3LmlM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yBU86SYFjQE.html
Great video! I have a 2017 Accord 3.5L V6 36K miles. How many miles should I wait until I get new timing belt? Or should I just change it cause it's been 7 years? Have you ever seen a low mileage high year cars timing belt look bad or break?
This is a 100K plus job. The only consideration in doing the job is miles on the engine. I have never seen or heard of a belt breaking on a low mileage car like yours.
I just can't get that serpentine belt back on. Everything else went fine. Great video. There is something on top of the crank shaft and the belt wants to go under that. Looks like some kind of timing sensor very close to the cs. I just don't have enough room to get the belt over the alternator. I think it should go over that instead of under it. Help please.
I bought a 2012 EX at 175k miles. It’s now at 238k. Carfax doesn’t show much past the 130k point. Definitely overdue as the trans is starting to act sluggish with acceleration. Getting on this tomorrow.
One tip though. Try to loosen the fill plug on top of the transmission first. Then when you refill it will be easier than the way I did through the dipstick port. I'm going to get that plug loose one way or another next time I do this.
I didn't see the parking brake setup. Can you ground the parking brake wire on this model? The kenwood I am replacing is just grounded to the ground on my harness
@ 6:18 - *That is the EXACT same spring and smae placement on the shoes as the Chrysler LeBaron and Dodge Spirit. I have a 1994 LeBaron sedan, and I tried EVERYTHING to get the return spring in. I am a strong, and NO LEVERAGE can get that spring back in that tiny hole. I gave in and had to buy the spring pliers.* 😞
You actually don't wanna tighten the links all the way. Your supposed to tighten them when it back on ground and it sits how it's gonna drive down the road. Then you tighten the links up.
Hahaha 😂 these MF Engineers install or design these parts as much deep as possible… it’s Almost feels like dismantling the whole vehicle lol … especially the door locks and now the relays too … bad engineering 😂
hi there just fully dismantled this lens and fixed the jam but annoyingly broke one of those 90 degree angle copper tracks for the lense (the thicker bottom one of the two) is there anyway i can get a replacement part as am keen to fix myself!
@@jamesfry8520 I think Canon would be the only source. I once sent a damaged camera to them and they sent me a rebuilt unit at no charge. The camera was under a year old though.
I like this idea than to fill the void with more concrete or expansion foam to just sink again. The gravel you stuffed in is better for the soil erosion that caused this in the first place.
hi!! Im having this exact same problem with my boyfriends bike... I wanna fix it for him!!! I dont know much about all these lubricants though and i know some can be harmful for certain material if the correct one isnt used. Is there a specific lubricant you would recommend? When i looked up yours on Amazon, a whole bunch of options showed up 😵💫
Experts don't recommend petroleum based lubricants such as white lithium on plastic. I have personally used them without issues but apparently it depends on the plastic. Instead they recommend silicone based lubricants for plastic. Searching under that will result in many products.
Which Line Do You Install It On ? The Suction Line To The Pump From The Reservoir "OR" The Return Line From The R&P To The Reservoir ? Now Thinking It Thru Wisely. If there is Gunk & Debris in the Reservoir I Would Put It On The Suction Line Before It Hits the Pump. Why Would You Install In On The Return Line From The Rack & Pinion to The Reservoir. "Why Allow Gunk & Debris From The Reservoir to Enter The Pump & Rack & Pinion.This Is What You Want To Prevent".
First of all, change the fluid if it's dirty. And address any issues that caused it to be dirty, such as leaks or deteriorated hoses. I followed Edelmann's instructions in putting it in the return line. I understand your logic but only in the context of having dirty fluid still in the system. I'm not saying it wouldn't work on the suction hose but often this hose is short and curvy and this filter wouldn't fit there anyway. This filter is a way to prevent future debris from damaging the pump of plugging the rack.
