Good video that gave me the courage to try this on my Savvana. I too was able to get everything off but there was no way mine was going back on. I tried for over an hour but there was not enough clearance no matter how hard I pushed. If GM had moved the bracket by 1 inch its an easy job. I ended up taking apart the housing from the old valve and used a hacksaw to leave just the stem and clip that originally cliped to the bracket. I drilled two holes through the body of the old stem that has the two pipe holes and zip tied the new vent valve on through those holes. Solid, way easier to change next time and cleared my Pems and cleared my P0449 code.
The good news is their warranty is excellent. Just like snapon. They don’t ask questions other than what tool is it and what you need. Two days later it’s in the mail. The bad news is things break that really shouldn’t. 3/8 breaker bar: the square fitting for the socket broke while taking a lug nut off. Probably the guy at the shop who really loves the air ratchet. Two weeks later a 3/8 ratchet broke when I dropped it ankle high or so. They sent the guts which didn’t work because they accidentally sent parts for a 3/8 drive torque wrench. The guy on the phone was really cool and really sorry. I forgot to ask what the torque limit is. Maybe I should use 1/2 drive
As an afterthought: I bought the tool at Meijer. They don’t carry the tools anymore. Sad. Now they sell the equivalent of Kmart tools. Guessing the market isn’t exactly priced right for grocery store type shoppers. I kind of stumbled on it by accident. The quality is obvious
Thanks for this video. This makes me more confident in using my new 3-ton low profile jack on the subframe under my EcoSport. Have been worried about using it there, but it will be so much easier to use one jack instead of two on the pinch welds. Got some SUV 6 ton jack stands, and I'm ready for the second round as the cold months start kicking in. My first time changing it, the oil filter was practically on, loctite, tight. I fought it and swore a lot. Same with my sister's Fiesta. They sabotage tighten this stuff to keep you from doing it yourself. Used 5W-20 Super Tech synthetic with a little bit of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer. Runs good with it.
Great video. I can only put in like $8 before gas spills out. The gas station pump nozzle not clicking. But I don't know why my gas tank is refusing to accept more fuel? I've checked all hoses and charcoal canister. Everything is intact. My gas gauge is always showing full. Can a bad gas pump and sending unit be the culprit?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Thermal fuses serve an important function.. they sacrifice themselves so your house doesnt burndown. The motor cools itself by drawing air through the windings as the fan rotates. It something stops the fan blades while its on it will over heat and could catxh fire. .. as alot of homes did. Manufacturers added the thermal fuse to save your home and possibly your life. DONT BYPASS ELECTRIC SAFETY FEATURES. Manufacturers make them cheap to maximize theor profit margins. They wouldnt add the part if it wasnt absolutely necessary.
Lol yeah I know it’s a fuse. The fan is in the trash now anyway I was just tinkering seeing if I could get it going. Wouldn’t recommend doing that if you were going to use it in the house obviously.
Seeing this video pop up months later it may have been user error because I missed the part where you say you grease the ratchet. I like this style mechanism for fine teeth and strong ratchet but grease causes the parts to hydrolock together by suction and I found that out myself and I don't even bother taking them apart anymore I just drop some oil in them work it in and wipe off. I switched all my regular use ratchets over to this style and my last ratchets lasted me 25 years so I feel these will be the last ratchets I bought unless dirt build up caused a engagement issue and the strip out. I have been very Glad I chooses TEKTON over other options. I wish you had zoomed in on the plunger coming from the selector switch or diagnosed the problem.
Thanks for the video! I’m hoping to do this soon! Legit going to the dealership is a lot of money for an oil change. Wish there was more videos for a 2021 Ecosport maintenance.
Great video man. I have the same mower . Same issue. I would have actually drilled 2 holes 45 degrees and put 2 set screw into shaft . Over time the jb weld will fail. Depending on climate. If you get winter like me and don't have a heated garage. It becomes brittle over time. But I'm also 200 pounds. I have alot more weight for the transmission to handle.
When I was a kid back in the 70s a teenager in our neighborhood got a moped with a stripped axle nut. He'd snug it up supper glue it and drive around the block a few times then do it again after it loosened up and the chain fell off. He'd do that all day until he ran out of super glue. JB welding the pulley to the shaft brought up that memory.
@@brycelund4112 if it's over the shaft but it seems like it should have a screw because it's slipping off. I did put some nail glue going downstairs now to see how the blade runs and I'll let you know.
Question. can I turn the Vent canister on and off without a scan tool? what are the settings for the multimeter to check the voltage on the wire harness itself? what did you set the multimeter to when you tested the old canister in the car on the seat? I have a 2007 Tahoe 5.3 and I'm trying to diagnose the same code thanks
You need a scanner to command the valve on. If you don’t have access to one then you can try this. Unplug the valve, switch your meter to ohms (Omega symbol). Probe the two pins on the valve itself. If the coil winding is open or high resistance the valve is bad. I would say anything over 40 ohms is probably too much. You won’t be able to check for power at the harness without a scanner. Also all data said something about checking the wiring above the front driveshaft near the transfer case. I guess there is a common rub spot. Hope that helps.
I did this recently because I thought I had a bad bearing on the passenger side but after the bearing replacement I still had in and out play on that side? What could be the problem?
@@mikehancho1613 maybe it’s hard to tell with the brakes on it. Both sides should have end play. Maybe the caliper is hanging up a little making it seem like there’s no play?
I have the same one. What are the setting screws left one is what and the right side. I have the same problem with Maine and it fires up and stalls out. I put new lines and filter it was running great and then nexit time it didn't say running? 😊😮
love tekton good price have used the warranty a couple of times very easy and hassle free love the no skip sizes plus if you buy off of there website you get 10% in rewards can’t lose
