it would be cool if you showed how you took them off. I cant get a wrench on the bottom part of the strut the plastic is in the way. Im scared of breaking the plastic so it would be better if you showed how to actually take them off. obviously putting new ones on is easy after that.
Hi, at around 1:50 I showed the reverse of this. But I think you just need to pull back the metal clip and they should come off the ball end. Hope this helps
I found this video after purchasing the same fast road vibra mounts, ( this video helped massively!much better drive now, can change gear quick without any unwanted jurking, like you kindly pointed out, have noticed some vibration on idle, steering wheel most noticeable, can’t help but think what new oem would feel like with the same driving style, ( mine were 20 yr old mounts)I am 95% happy, such a shame about the vibration, it’s not bad but it is there!
@@DanielGrist-nl8np Yeah I am just used to it now. The idle vibration is quite bad, I cannot even see out of my rear view mirror when stopped lol. But when driving with quick gear changes, it it much more direct. My old oem mount were in poor condition, particularly the driver side engine mount, which had split and was leaking it fluid. But yeah, it would be intersting to have put in new oem mounts. Cheers
This video sucks dick. My cars clutch still is not bless after doing this goofy method. Maybe explain what the heck ur buddy in the car is doing better
5 years, and not a single one have done this tail light thingy! Life safer. Have some minor rust so i need to get the rear light on the boot out. You are the only one showing how to get it out. Kinda nervous about the white plastic thing though, couldnt really see were its connected or if it has a big purpose
@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 Ah, i meant the one you dropped =) But i guess that one only holds the taillight in place against the body of the boot (can only go one way)?
Thanks for doing this video. My fan has just stopped working, although it's intermittent, if I go over a big bump it kicks back in again. I took the car to the garage and they told me it's the blower motor but won't fix it as they only fit genuine honda parts 🤦🏼♂️ How do I know if it's the blower motor or the resistor? If it is the resistor, do you have the part number?
Hi, It sounds like your resistor is duff... I would get yourself a multimeter and check it. But failing that just get yourself the resistor. Found a used one here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276420183843?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-yg4U85fThS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=H-XKHJe6SiK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Good luck
fyi, in the haynes manual it states if the brake hoses are to be disconnected, just put some slight pressure on the brake pedal and it will only lose a slight amount. I used a block of wood. (and yes i know 7 years later)
Thank you from 2024. Great vid. Made changing mine a breeze. I’ve left the old pad carrier bracket on - too rusty for the time I had will get to it next rotor change. But finally my handbrake works again. Cheers boss.
Using this wire bridge... locks the timing, which is why yoi ser the timing with the dizzy like this. Without the bridge the timing wil change... and will therefore be impossible to time as it would be a moving target. So dont worry is what I am trying to say... you are all good
@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 ahhh grand job. But unfortunately my rev cluster still jumping. I got new grounding cables that seem to sort the revs jumping. But i gave some huy a jump start and my rev cluster start jumping up and down again. Cheers for the fast reply also.
Ok no probs. Always worth checking the distributor bolt torque.... I have seen the bit on the distribitor which the bolts go through get messed up by people using the wrong bolts too. Either way good luck!
There are quite a few things this can be. But if the engine was running well before and you habe made no changes... then I have had this before when the is build up of white corrosion inside the dizzy cap. If you take it off and clean this cap' contact points up, and clean up the spark plugs, it will usually improve. Good luck!
Yes I think the dual bend brings the knob closer to you. It is a much better shift feel that the single bends I used before, when I used it with the weighted knob at least
@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 and woud you say the steal ones are better then the aluminium ones Cuz i had a cheap one from h-gear made from aluminium and i just snaped the top off
I am not aware of more than one type of manual rack for these cars. But it might be worth checking the number of turns lock to lock of the old and new rack. Thanks
Hi, may I know why is your press head not retracted back to its original position after you have released the pressure ? There is an issue about my press head not retractable after changing oil seal and hydraulic oil.
So how did you fix the light? Does it just go off when you get the new sensor? Or do you have to clear it with a code reader somehow? I was taking off my Hub and I just ripped my passenger side in half so I'm going to replace it.
Possibly when you start the car... you need to drive for a few seconds to clear the code... so that the car can see the sensor it picking up the wheel speed.
Hey man, i would just like to thank you for the EF build series. I learned so much from it and im gonna be attempting to b16 swap my GL soon, just gathering parts for now. Again, thank you, the close up and detailed explanation of everything is insanely helpful ❤
When this happens, you can use a pry bar and press down ontop of the end.... but sometimes it will still spin and then you can then just cut them off. Just make sure you undo the other side first (with two spanners). Good luck!
Hi, I have not worked on a B18A1, but I would imagine it would be similar. You can often find the Honda workshop manuals online, so I would do that for this engine. Thanks
I only took the oil out of where you saw on the video and refiled. When you say the "ram head", do you mean the gauge? If so that is liquid filled... you dont add fluid to it. Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. The mechanic wanted $451.68 which I didn’t have. By watching your video and spending $25 on eBay I was able to get heat again. Now I no longer have to wear 4 different coats on my way to work! 🙏🏽
I know this video over 7yrs old, however did you use custom length fuel lines for your 4th gen Civic? It's difficult to find stainless hoses for this chassis while everything is for the '92-00 Civic online
Hi, yes I just cut the AN6 lines to suit. One tip would be get the Teflon (PTFE) lines and not the rubber ones. This is because when running the lines inside the car particularly.... the rubber lines will make the car stink of fuel. Thanks
@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 thank you for your reply! I was wondering about any fumes of smelling fuel inside the cabin of my '89 sedan eventually. I did a full stainless steel line replacement before on my previous '97 sedan. (Mainly the feed line). Of course by then for that chassis, Honda had the OEM headlines underneath the body.
Not sure if you'll see this as it an old video. Looks like you don't have a VT front end? How have you manged to get your bonnet to close properly over the B18C?
I would check: 1/. You are getting battery voltage at the connector. 2/. If so check the connector pins arr good 3/. If they are good check bulbs themselves. Good luck!
@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 i check what i can with eyes i open the trunk cables maybe any damage one but i didn’t find check fuse is okay my mind is going somewhere for a relay but where can find it 🤪
You can use the end of a flathead screwdriver or some scotchbrite pads. The main thing is you just clean the points up and then use some brake cleaner to get rid of an debris. Good luck
hi, great video, very useful. Any idea how much oil you needed to refill the cylinder? Looks like it could be just 1 to 2 litres - and that 5 l can container is quite pricey!
Hi, first I would check it is getting 12 Volts and has a good earth. If it does... maybe the wiper mechanism you have put in is broken.... was it 2nd hand?
