    Front rubber brake hose

    Just replaced the driver side front brake hose this morning. I would have to say getting the clip off was the only tough part, but PB blaster makes everything easier. I tried some groove joint pliers at first and it just kept kinda spinning, which is good cause u wanna loosen up that clip. In...

    Replacing a driver's side front freeze plug

    I just did the same job! Sure enough, after I moved the ac bracket and power steering assembly outta the way, the leak was obvious! A tiny pin hole in the freeze plug was just shooting coolant out like crazy, even with the engine off and cool. I even heard a hissing sound when the engine was...

    Coolant Leak

    @moses, oh wow the idler pully wasn't turning? I wonder if its rusted up or something, that's the last thing i would have thought of, and that idler pulley has literally no resistance with that belt off, i'm surprised it would seize up on you like that. I don't think that pulley is too...

    Coolant Leak

    Hmm well we know where the leak was coming from and you fixed that, if its starting to overheat again, could be a possible faulty thermostat. What brand is that thermostat and how much was it? Mine was $6 duralast and is working good, but I have read that the cheaper ones can malfunction if the...

    Coolant Leak

    I just did this job on my 1991 Explorer 2wd, and it was a leaking thermostat housing (along with a bad thermostat inside) spilling coolant all over the top of my water pump, and being flug by the belt all over the intake tube and other parts. I could eventually see and hear steam shooting from...

    20 inch rims.. Question

    Pitbull I still haven't gotten new tires, I never put these (in the picture) on because they are very old, from 2003 and I dont think riding on them would be very safe, the rubber would probably explode. My girl has a 2008 ford escape with 20s and her tire size is 255/45/20 and that seems to be...

    door hinge

    Why would u go through all the trouble of ripping the dash apart, swapping the entire hinge for more money, when u can just simply replace the hinge PIN that is causing the actual sagging? Its like 5 bucks at the auto store and you don't have to touch the dash. You may need some special tool to...

    Striker Bolt

    I tried to remove the Striker bolts one time, had the correct torx bit, but it was on there so damn tight (its the original so its been in there for over 20 years) and didnt budge, almost stripped the torx notches. I'm guessin some penetrating oil was in need?

    20 inch rims.. Question

    Ok I have managed to find out the wheel make and model shown above. They are Ultra Platinum Snyper wheels, retail for about $230 a piece. I got a really good deal on these wheels, they came with old GoodYear Eagle LS tires from 2003. The tires are too old to safely ride on in my opinion and I'm...

    Power Window Bushing Replacement

    When I removed the 3 bolts holding the window motor in, I used a magnet (the ones that extend, looks like a pen) to keep the bolts from falling into the door, you can buy one for a couple dollars at any walmart, auto store, or maybe dollar store. That's your best bet.

    Power Window Bushing Replacement

Took me about 20 mins to drill the half inch hole, take out 3 bolts, remove the old motor and install the new one. Works beautifully :) I have to...
