Man my sister asked me to do her rear brakes got the wrongs ones first didn’t know they were drums. Then I couldn’t get the fucking drums off. Told her they were still good and come back in a month. It’s been a month help me lmaoo why didn’t the drum want to come off
I tend to watch your videos since theyre very helpful! I was able to remove an old motor eith ease to put on my car, unfortunately MY screws stripped and now the motor wont come out. Time to replace the whole regulator.
Thank you for making possibly the most comprehensive video on this particular replacement! One question. Every video I’ve seen in one way or another has talked about “loosening” the A/C line. I know any kind of disconnect that would involve opening that system is a big no no. It seemed like you were able to finagle around it. Any advice on how to approach this with the air line placement being where it is?
Seriously, thank you so much for this video! I've never used that annoying Valve Lapping tool but thanks to you I'll be able to! My 4.0 should be running smoothly after this. Also love your taste in music!
I know I'm 2 years too late to be relevant in the comments. But I'm 37, this past year I was diagnosed with discouraged borderline personality disorder. And I am unpacking all kinds of childhood trauma that I have been shoving aside for decades. Trying to kick addictions, toxic relationship habits, anxiety, depression, anger issues, and a slew of other things stemming from multiple types of abuse growing up and just generally a lot of bullying and torment as a kid I've done mushrooms in the past. Usually just for fun. Fun body high, one visuals, giggly and relaxing. They were always golden teachers that we were doing. In 2018 however I started to really learn the potential that they had for introspection and healing. My best friend and I had a falling out for over a year but at my buddy's bachelor party we were able to hash things out while taking some shrooms together I was able to put in place how I felt about a certain relationship I was in on a subsequent trip. But they were not easy to come across out here. Everybody was just smoking weed instead. And I enjoyed that but there are some negatives that come along with it Recently however I have seen so much of the research on microdosing and even macrodosing to treat mental illness. The original use of these mushrooms usually dates back to a lot of spiritual healing practices. So it makes sense Luckily I've been able to find a source, and try out all of these new different strains. And I have been using it to confront a lot of the things I was talking about. Primarily helping to try and kick an addiction, reconnect with my girlfriend, reconnect with old friends, and try to be a peace with so many things that I let put me in pain A few days ago however I finally really took a major dose. I don't know if it was quite 14 g but it had to be close to 10, and it included powerful strains like enigma and albino penis envy. I was in a hotel room that I rented specifically to do this. And my trip did not go as planned at all. I was unprepared for how unfamiliar and uncomfortable the hotel room would feel. I was not able to stay in bed and listen to music with my eyes closed, I was incredibly physically ill from it. Horrific nausea but unable to throw up, sweating profusely to the point of taking all my clothes off. So instead of confronting things in a comfortable environment, I was freaking out in the bathroom with all kinds of terrible thoughts racing through my head about what was going to happen to me and that I had totally messed up and underestimated what was going to come from this I scrambled, trying to grab the rest of the shroom stash thinking I was going to have to get rid of them, trying to debate whether I was going to be able to stay in the hotel room or if I was going to start freaking out and have them call management or medical services. Deciding whether I could be safe just riding it out in my truck, or if I should just find a spot in the woods or something. And even debating if I just had to call 911 and face the consequences. It was terrifying. I kept telling myself I was going to be okay and that I needed to do this Finally when I managed to get all my clothes on and gather up everything I was going to try and stash in the truck, I walked back out into the hotel room and felt the air conditioning on me, I felt the nauseous subside, despite still having visual distortion, I felt very mentally sober. And I just breathed out loud that the worst of it had passed. I beat it. And if I could beat that level of fear and discomfort, there is no reason I couldn't do the simple things I needed to do like call old friends, or decide that I was done with addiction. Terrifying as it was, it is the most impactful experience I've ever had with these All of that being said, I don't think I'm ever going to dose that high again, especially if I'm not in a spot where I am isolated from strangers. This hotel is at a busy intersection and you can hear everybody else opening doors and talking. It was bad I'm going to take one more mild trip to do some thinking, and after that I'm going to start trying microdosing. I've been reading a ton of books and watching a ton of videos and really studying this though and I really believe there is something to this for medicinal purposes. It can be fun, but it can be so incredibly helpful too Ultimately I can still kind of say that I've never had a bad experience using them. Because even this bad trip, ended with profound positive results. Thanks for sharing your story man
It might be difficult for others to come across this comment but those that begin to seek it, will find it. About 6 months after this video I slowed down the very large doses. I had a trip that was eve more difficult than this one was at 10 grams and since that time I haven't been able to get that much into me. I am very overly cautious where I use psychedelics and how much I take. Low amounts I can use while doing other things without too much issue. Higher doses are a lockdown situation. That way nothing outside of the trip can interfere with it. Thanks for watching
Hi, nice channel! It helps me with different problems on my forester. Could you tell me pls. what OBD Scanner you have and if it work well with the Forester and if it work's with a forester SG 2005 too? I tryed different Scanners and I was not successful. Most I had no connection with the Forester. Thanks in advance!
This is a Creader VI scantool. It is not the greatest tool but it does work. If you are having communication problems with multiple scanners, you make have a bad connection to the ECU somehow.
I ate 14g once. It was insane. On a completely different planet. I literally didn’t know what my name was. My sister had to babysit my friend and I. It was out of this world.
You rock! Love the video. You've given me more faith on my 03 Forester XS. I just got the motor running smoothly, I might add. After the 04 Forester S sat for 10+ years!!!🎉. I'll be top viewer from this day Forward.
My Forester is fairly rebuilt at this point. The playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLWbrtSgFmtynR3-mhvgP7vtMc6JC_Aqrx will have most of what you're interested in. There will be the odd repair and upgrade to do as time goes on. I've been daily driving it and going on plenty of camping trips. Thanks for the comment, keep that old Forester alive!
Ya price high, feel that. I got like an RV cam with a monitor for like 69$ years ago. No usb, no app, no smart connectivity. But I did catch a few car accidents and sent the videos to businesses and citizens for use in court.
@@HomebrewSubaru been doing lots of researching getting ready but havnt seen much ppl talking about using the ka trans with the rb housing so i can use the lower harness
@@Zentryte Cool. I remember Kalvin Malli had his adapted to the KA trans. He broke a trans in a video after getting more power down. My RB came with a chopped lower harness so I was able to use the KA harness there. This is becoming an old swap now so parts aren't as easy to find in smaller cities.
@HomebrewSubaru good to know, and yea parts will be hard but a guy has a rb20 with turbo and harness to work for 240 and rb bell housing so will be a fun hard project if he gets back to me. I just restored my lower harness similar to yours in one of the vids
FYI for anyone watching this video for information or a tutorial prior to doing this themselves, just a little piece of advice don’t do what he did and whack your rotor with a hammer to get it to come off because had he taken even two minutes of his time to hop online and look or open a service manual he would’ve seen that the random holes on the rotor in between the lug bolts are coincidentally threaded for a specific size bolt, and you simply put that size bolt in them and slowly branch them in, and it will push against the backside surface, which will then essentially pry the rotor away from the face of the hub if it seized so you don’t have to whack anything with the hammer and risk damaging other things
Only an IDIOT would hit a good rotor with a hammer hard enough to damage it OR anything else. F'n imagination that some of you have, I can tell you've never worked a day in a shop. BTW it's an M8x1.25 that generally all rotors use for service removal. Thanks for coming out though.
I JUST did this job on my 01 Forester Those threaded holes are for SHIT if the hub is rusted really good to the rotor All that happens is when you bottom out the M8 bolt on the hub it just keeps jumping threads on you Sometimes you MUST hit it to get it free! I had to take out big nasty and even then it was a fight!
Thanks for the diagnosis part showing the play in the cv joints! About to do this repair on mine (275k miles), and wondering if I should replace anything else while i have it apart? bearings, shocks, etc. I plan on replacing both front cv's, ball joints and possibly the knuckle on one bc i snapped the head off the pinch joint! might try to extract it buuuuuut, you know how thats gonna go and I aint tryna helicoil a steering component on something that goes highway speeds.
It is possible to drill straight through the knuckle and use a high grade bolt and nut. I've done a couple and seen others do the same. The CVs may not like to come out of the hubs, they like to seize on the spline. I would plan to use those parts and just keep in mind you might need more parts if things don't come apart as they should. Be nice to change the bearings at that mileage.
First, the motor needs to be removed from the transmission. Second, plug the motor in and operate the wipers. When the motor stops, it is in the park position. Align the transmission then install the wipers and check.
This video was super valuable. Fixed my Windows motor . The hardest part was finding the right size for the Philips bit I almost stripped the screws. Thank you! PS. I did not replace mine , I repaired it . Just cleaned up a lot of rust , greased it and boom.!
My 03 wrx driver side has broken regulator spring(and motor). Thought it was just the motor. Any way to raise the window to commute or is that flat coil spring vital? Ordered new regulator assembly as no one has regulator springs seperate. Info appreciated for daily driven ancient subie
The spring is only really for assistance. If you remove the motor you should be able to pull the window up. Then just use a block of wood or tape it until you can replace the unit.
I'm currently dealing with this right now. I don't know if this is a "hack" or not, but if your window is up, get a small flat mirror and a piece of tape and tape it to the far side of the door and it gives you a pretty clear view of the screws. Much easier to see if you're stripping them. If the window is stuck down, like mine was, give the motor a couple healthy taps with a hammer or socket wrench. That freed mine up enough to get it back up. When the window is down, you have far less space to work.
Hey, I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately on your other channel, found this one, idk why I feel so compelled to comment on this one…I’m going to be taking a high dose trip in a couple days for my 30th birthday. I can relate to so much of what you’re talking about, what’s weird is my last mushroom trip I had this trauma brought back up from having a kidney stone at 9 years old, I was wondering how experiencing such intense pain at that age affected me. Idk there’s wayyy more I don’t get into on RU-vid, but honestly I consider myself a pretty broken person sometimes, I often feel isolated in my own mind, and sometimes borderline insane, I wish I could talk more openly sometimes, but one of the reasons I don’t is so that people don’t worry, ultimately I’m okay, I just know myself very well. There’s something about your videos, I can feel something through them and it just..I can’t explain it, it just makes me feel okay. So thank you for this one and all the others 🤍
This is the video that caused me to start the other one. The feedback here was very surprising. I made a couple of videos but realized the content should have it's own channel. Getting up there in dosage can be really challenging. I was pushing the limit to either break myself or find answers as to why I was the way I am. Repeated trips start to change the tolerance level and the trip overall. Imagination and visuals can really start to become something more. Almost physical. The out of body is more likely. I have been watching you longer than when I more recently commented this year. After seeing a few videos I knew we were similarly minded people. What I discovered is we're all broken to a degree. Everyone misses out on a little something somewhere and it affects everyone differently. It's going through the hardships that make each individual stronger and more capable of survival. The world has developed into a very psychological place and it's only normal to wonder how much different your own psyche is from others. For me at that point I was able to suffice with the idea that at this point in my life, I am currently more developed intellectually and spiritually. Psychedelics can be dangerous. Repeated consistent use will alter a persons day to day reality. A person can start developing short stints of psychosis in between trips. HPPD is a strange thing to go through. Just be careful in that respect as you continue your psychonaut journey. There is going to be rough times and maybe you haven't been through the worst. Always remind yourself it's a temporary thing and you will come back. I think you're as developed as I am and you will be just fine out there. Take your time, patience is definitely the key here.
@@HomebrewSubaru I’m back from my trip. I took around 700ug of lsd and I timed it perfectly, I was tripping and even still peaking at the exact moment of my birth 30 years ago…it was the highest dose of lsd I’ve ever taken at once in my entire life, and I think it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I won’t be able to explain everything concisely or all at once… I feel so compelled to talk to you, if you’re interested we could find some way to communicate outside of RU-vid comments.
Wow that was well planned! That's like double the amount of LSD I've ever taken. I imagine you were floating around the room looking at yourself. I'm glad it was everything you hoped for. Walking through an alternate dimension can be very difficult to explain for just about anyone. Sure, I would love talking with you outside of RU-vid. You already found me on IG, just DM me there. I have notifications turned off but usually check a few times a day.
Very helpful video! my window is stuck in the closed position, so it wont go down. Auto electrician said its the regulator. Would you recommend i do both the motor and regulator or just the motor first ?
Good afternoon Teacher .This is my first time DIY changing rear drum , mine is 2014 Toyota Corollar same as the one you showed , after all install new shoes , the drum would not fit in, top bar was collapsed to last threat . Would you tell me what am I doing wrong and how to adjust for the hub fit in. Thank you .
Make sure everything is seated properly. The adjuster rests on the shoes. The shoes rest in the wheel cylinder. Sometimes the shoes come with too much lining on the shoe. I've had this issue a few times. Aftermarket parts don't fit together well in some cases. Keep trying or try different parts. You will get it.
The algorithm brought me here. Don't usually comment, but good luck. Maybe build a patreon? It lets your community support you more directly. You'll do your content for them, posting for youtube would be just a bonus.
Like previous commenters, this is the first time The Algorithm served me your content. I suspect your perspective is mostly correct on this subject. Don't let that discourage you, just make cool shit.
Oh I plan on more cool videos, they just won't be uploaded here. I wanted to transition this channel away from automotive repair. Instead I will leave it as is and build another channel.
what is the track playing at the end of the video!? thank you this helped me with a place to start looking into why my rear door speakers have stopped working .
Dude I'm so frustrated with Google as a whole right now. You should see the crazy stuff they're doing with their search algorithm right now. They've been CRUSHING small creators and giving all their traffic to sites like Reddit and Forbes. Great idea to split your content and be more targeted🙌🤙
Man splitting the content was one of the better things I decided on. Automotive content is best promoted to an automotive audience. Everything else just brings in randoms that ultimately unsub once they realize they don't like car repairs and upgrades.
@@HomebrewSubaru I've learned the hard way over the years how the algorithms work. Keeping things non-confusing for the machine learning seems to work better. But sucks not being able to share more of your interests with people in the same channel. Hope you've been doing good brotha!
RU-vid is funny like that. The audience and algorithm both love overly opinionated topics. I knew the title alone was going to draw people in. It's just not the type of content I want really want here even if it is more successful. Simply put, I will just build another channel to use that sort of thing and double down. Things are picking up across the board. Been getting out into the woods plenty and really enjoying the rig. Got on some more serious trail. Forester has been eating up everything with no problems so far.
