Hot water always helps with pedal covers, it softens the rubber up

Omar Garsh I’ve done a few sets over the years, always on Audi’s and I’ve always used a jug of red hot water. Drop them in for a minute or 2 and put some gloves on. The water also helps as a bit of a lube then use a hooked pick tool to pull on the back of the rubber

I guess of all the problems to have just be thankful it's not the "hose of death" I've heard so much about. An oil hose that always goes bad on these cars and you have to take the entire engine out just to change it. Great work! It's nice to see women in the industry!

Any time you are having trouble installing that stuff, rubber molded. 1- put it in the sun first. 2- use that fancy heat gun if 1 doesnt work. Warm it up. Anything that isnt pliable that should be, warm it up. Even if in a cup of hot water. Also, use "soapy water" for "lube" on rubber parts when possible. Petroleum lubricants attack rubber.

I’ve finally caught up. Started with the focus, moved to the TT and finally with the glorious Mr Dos with a sprinkling of vlogs and reviews mixed in. Late to the party but not disappointed! The detail you go into for normal people working in a garage, with for the most part basic tools a lot of us have is amazing. One of the best car channels going around. You are doing an excellent job. Will have to send some Australian number plates to add to the collection!

Gotta keep safe! I was waiting for a "That's what he said" and you didn't disappoint! I know it's silly but I miss the "Count" imitation when you count something. I thought it was cute. I guess Liz went back to NJ. You guys are great together. Thanks for another fun episode in the life of Sarah and Mr. Dos.

If you have to pound on balljoints like that and actually need to save the threads you can leave the castle nut on - or flip it upside down or find a sacrificial nut. Windex makes a good lube for rubber parts.

@@SarahnTuned You know, you can be exhausted even if you sleep enough, if you're too stressed. I know you do those car reviews partially as a relief from "work", but it's still work kind of. I think I heard you saying (one of those Q&A's) that you work 80 hours per week on your social media things. That's a lot if you do it for an extended time. Some can take it longer than others, but it'll catch you evetually. Anyway, I don't mean to rant or lecture or anything, you're a grown up woman. Just that I almost drove myself too deep thinking that I can handle it. Took few years (not 80 hours per week, but also no holidays and never completely off the work mode), but it did catch me too. As for the nutrient part, not trying to diagnose via a YT video, but there are conditions like IBS and IBD (I have the latter) that can do that. And they tend to thrive from stress... Ok, I'm off. Thanks for the vid and take care of yourself 🤘

Hi Sarah. If I don't 'feel right' for more than a week, I head off to see my doctor. Best to find out iffin it's something serious so they can address it quickly before it turns into something really bad, just sayin'. I noticed a lot of folks coughing and sneezing when I was in AZ last week end. Stock up on Vitamin C and maybe get a flu shot ? ;) Also, 'Purple Power' is a great de-greaser ... Walmart has it in 5-gallon jugs for about $5.00, as well as manageable spray bottles.
