Think that’s bad ray try working on jaguars from the 80-90s have to take 19 things off to get to one $2 item but cost you $40.00 in gaskets for the shit you had to pull off to get to it they were renound for it
for me it took only 2 hours to take it of and 2 hours to but it ack
That was a extremely good Tetris match 🙂 Human won in the end !
Isn't that how it always works
You can look at it this way – you figured out how to remove the steering that the engineers couldn't without doing a lot more work. You outsmarted the engineers!
Hey! I ain't no circle back gurl!
Wow! Yeah how come it gave u hard time bringing that one out while no sweat on placing a new one?!? Anyways, still its good to see and feel how we manage to drive past a winding road than a straight one.
"Infinit wisdom" hahahahaha, i like that! 😊
My manual says 4.0 hours job on a 3.6L version. I was curious why. They basically want you to remove the electric steering pump, CV axle and a strut on the passenger side for the rack to come out through the right wheel area, that's why it's more hours.
You OBVIOUSLY were not standing on one foot with your tongue on the back of your left front tooth and your right hand elevated and your head wasn't turned slightly to the left while you hummed your favorite song… DUH!
My rubber ripped and I haven't stopped. I have a 19 year from that. Lmfao
No apology to the engineers? After all ithe rack can go in and out easily…..
Imagine if you will, same job, 4×4 Durango… Yikes!!!
I am laughing my as of here see it go in so easy
Don't want it to grenade in your face? Use brake rotor as shield. I have don't that plenty of times. Hahaha
I found that same problem on aircraft
Why are there even places where water can collects 😟
Feels very designed-to-fail to me.
I bet that there is a feature in their CAD program that can find those spots.
I like the line my rubber ripped and I haven't stopped and sometimes leads to problems. Story of my life lol. But such a beautiful girl!
Just anothner case of guys building things they never have to work on. I could spend hours with stories from my days in the 1970's working at a Chevy dealership
Since the shop is going to charge the 5 hours anyways I hope you have it a power steering flush!
Ray, can’t believe how may things come apart so easily in Florida! As you know in Michigan everything is rusted and take’s twice as long.
Ha ha Click! The trusty self actuating organic torque wrench! Oh and what’s the name of that largish adjustable wrench? Thanks
Dude. Think American engineers are A-holes? Try swapping in a new control yoke into a French Falcon 900.
saw my friend on this job for 2 days a few years ago…I always wondered how people did it in book time…
"How did I screw this up so bad?"
If I had a nickel for every time I've said that… like the time I replaced the CV boots on a '81 FWD Subaru GL hatch. Couldn't get the axle out of the hub, so I beat it out with a mallet. And I deformed the axle rod head because there's a hole for a cotter pin. So I had to literally file down the mashed end of the axle and then rethreaded it with the axle nut and an "angry wrench".
Oh, and the first time I put it back together my dumb ass put the OLD BOOT back on. So I had to take it all apart again.
I like to think I've learned a lot since I was 17, but really all I've done is made new mistakes. The universe has never given me the same challenge twice so I can apply what I've learned. Stupid universe.
I agree with you about the Engineers
Another fine job~!
Atleast u didn’t take the sub frame down or take the new apart still a win
Wow, no rust…
That’s a riot
Water pump pliers on a nut!!! Use a spanner.
Engineers know how things work, mechanics just think they do.
..after working on cars for 40 years..I am POSITIVE Engineers Design parts to Hang on other parts by a tolerance of .05 inch….
A 3.6L V6?! That's just depressing! I've always preferred to stay above 4L when it comes to 6 cylinders like the 4.3L Vortec V6, or the several great, tough, and big, inline 6s from back when Pluto was a planet. I do know that in modern times though they are supposedly able to get some impressive power out of these smaller V6s nowadays. They say that all of the newer V6 Ecoboost engines are supposed to be incredibly good and powerful for their smaller size. Don't quote me on this, but I believe I read that the smallest one is only a 2.3L that makes something like 270hp/310 lbs-ft of torque! That is quite impressive. However those are unfortunately Fords and obviously that fact immediately kills the idea of ever owning one of those!!! I wonder if we will ever again see the days of big 6 cylinders, or will they continue to make them smaller, high-tech, and highly tuned to make their power? Either way I will still always be a fan of the good old 4.3L Vortec.
When you use ball joint tool tighten it and hit the knuckle with a hammer some times it will release without stressing the tool to much to avoid it blowing up on you or bending
I was helping a friend of mine that happens to have a small salvage yard, swap out a timing belt on a PT Cruiser. He goes online to find out the manufactures recommended method and the first thing it said was, (See engine removal) Needless to say we didn't go that route. Since then, any time we have a pain in the rear part, like this rack you was swapping out, that becomes an extra pain we say, See engine removal.
Master mechanic,
Hvl.
Sorry Ray but when your rubber rips you need to stop and change it or life will change 🤣🤣🤣
Be great to do that job on jack stands in the weeds with Ray mosquito's transferring blood.
this guy is NOT a line mechanic. napa does not do the work he is videoing men with his skill level do not work at napa tires brakes and small jobs he's a BS rep for napa
It's when the new parts don't cooperate you start to worry. That's usually when you realize your parts guy messed up.
Great work, enjoyed the durangas and commentaries 🤣🤣, very informative on some major maintenance issues that I haven't ever had to do yet, but will pry have to. I got a warzone of leakage needed to be cleaned to get an accurate inspection of what is or isn't leaking, thanks again!!
I like the adjustable spanner
MY DAD SAID WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, JUST GO HAVE A COLD ICE TEA THEN GO BACK AT IT. IT ALWAYS GOES SMOOTHER THEN.
You did a great job, also the engineering who designed it were asleep 😴.
Tis a fitted fastener!
Your arms need shaving so you can get into tighter spaces!
