Damn, he explains it all. How did I miss this??? So by using the pinch welds to jack the car up, I didn’t have the best place available for the jack stands since my jack was using them. Very interesting. I wish car companies would have big round or square jack points that make it obvious to a DIYer. Even color code them! I mean, if Eric said people have gotten killed doing this, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Again, thanks for the help. I think I got it now.
Thanks a lot. I’ll watch it asap. I’m a member of a million forums so I know the etiquette of asking questions before searching, and I did search online but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted to know.
I just watched the Ford Explorer wheel bearing video and that one seemed like an even bigger nightmare. How do extra-long jobs like this affect what you charge a customer? You quote them a price but if it takes you twice as long as you estimated, you eat that cost? Can you call someone and say, hey, I need to hit you with 2 more hours of labor?
When you do a job like this, how do you know how many brackets it has and other specs you need to know? Experience? Eye-balling? Shop manuals? Great work getting that rack out of there. Looked difficult.
I think we have a miscommunication. The actual kit itself is showing as sold out everywhere. Also, the link you just posted is invalid. Sorry for being a PITA!
What’s that handgun tool you often use with your compressor? You had the green cleaning disc on it for this video. I could use a hand tool like that.
Thanks, Eric. Seems like someone could invent a better valve since they so easily rust and break off.
A couple questions. 1. Would a ratchet be a better tool for trying to break free a stuck bleeder valve? Maybe I’m wrong but it seems like a combination wrench would apply more ‘sideways’ force causing it to break most easily? 2. Ever put anti-seize on a bleeder valve when installing a new caliper since they so often get stuck? Keep up the good work.
