Apparently you didn’t read the latest newsletter. Eric is taking some time off to re-evaluate the direction of the web site, etc. He warned there would be little or no new videos for April.
Fuel injectors are little solenoid valves that open and shut rapidly to deliver fuel from the rail into the cylinder. Normal sound is a clicking like the sound of a sewing machine that will change with engine speed.
Unless you have some other concern it what you describe is normal.

I hope when you say tapping you mean hitting it hard with a three pound sledge hammer. Heat and penetrating oil are your friend.

Wrench turner it is nice of you to add the diagram.
To the op: when you cut the hold down pins behind the drum backing plate you should be able to remove the drum. The brake shoes will be stuck inside the drum. If you are still having problems then the drum is rusted to the hub. Use penetrating spray around the center and studs. Then hammer around the face of the drum careful to avoid the studs. You can also heat the same area.Wrench turner it is nice of you to add the diagram.

I’ve changed heatier cores on several front drive cars . The challenge is getting to the heater box. This usually requires removing a good portion of the dash. With a.c. you might also need to have refrigerant evacuated because the evaporation coil is in the same box you might have to remove. Your truck might be easier. Check a repair manual – maybe see if your public library has alldata account that will give you access to the specific repair procedure. This isn’t technically difficult but is long and involved . So do some research and decide if you are willing to take it on.

There is no such thing for front bearings. You may be able to find new hubs. But, you would still have to press the bearing onto the hub and press the hub with the bearing into the steering knuckle.

Exactly. If you have access to a press you’re set. If not just remove the knuckle and take it to a shop. Most will do the work of removing the old bearing and press a new one for about $30 each.
