I like that he doesn't spend the first 10 minutes of every video lecturing the audience before showing us anything and that he actually shows how to do it with mostly basic hand tools to prove that it can be done when so many videos go right to the impact wrench assuming that everyone has one. I love my air tools and they were a great investment but not everyone can afford a set nor can they be used in every situation.

Thank you, the wrench trick is something I never knew about before. I’ve gotten by on tapping the wrench with a hammer, but often there’s barely any room to do that. Going to double up on wrenches from now on.

@chocolate_squiggle 3 жыл бұрын

Fantastic, you have a gift for demystifying this stuff mate. So many times I've read things like '"Oh, just remove the motor mount and drop the engine down" - but if you don't even know what a motor mount looks like to begin with you can start descending down a never ending rabbit hole and forget what problem you were originally trying to solve lol :-) I love that you don't just show how to replace a mount - but WHY you might need to as well and what could happen if you don't. It's important information often missed by others. Money was tight growing up with just my mother and we only ever took our car to the mechanic when it was broken. I thought 'maintenance' was an oil change once a year. Best wishes from New Zealand, 2021.

Chris Fix your video was very helpful. Going in I didn't have a clue as to the complications I would be facing as a DIY job. You showed very clearly what has to be done and now I need to decide 1) let a mechanic do it and pay through my schnoz or 2) do it myself. Thanks again, Al

Great tutorial, as all of your videos. Everything is straight forward and clear for the vehicle you are working on. I am going to lift 1-2 inches the engine on RX 350, 2015 to get access to the one of ATF pan bolt, which is blocked by sub frame. Unfortunately, I don't have that solid place to put my jack, and I would never place the jack under the ATF or oil pan, despite there are a lot of videos with the jack under the oil pan. My question is can I jack up a bit the engine by placing the jack under the transfer case. It looks for me like a solid place.

Love that you torque everything and you don't drive in all your nuts and bolts with an impact wrench. Those things save time but they put too much pressure on the nuts and bolts.

@chrisfix 10 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It also makes it impossible to get off if when you tighten them with an impact wrench!

@jeffumbach 6 жыл бұрын

If you over-torque them then yeah, that's why I specifically bought an impact wrench with multiple settings so that I could use it to remove bolts and drive them back in but drive in just enough that the torque wrench is used to finish the job. I've also found that I've less likely to break the head off a bolt with the impact wrench than with a breaker bar, never broken one with the impact driver and if I'm worried just start on the lowest setting and work up until it finally starts turning.

This is exactly why I love KZfaq. I googled how to change motor mounts, and it brought me to this video. I have a silver 1997 Ford Windstar that is silver, a carbon-copy of the one in this video except for the rims. I am looking to sell mine but I have a few issues (one being the motor mounts), the others are the rear AC fan seems unbalanced (makes a loud humming sound), the drivers door glass rattles when you shut it (probably a plastic clip or something), and the speedometer fluctuates. ChrisFix What's your opinion of the speedometer and the rear AC fan?

@chrisfix 10 жыл бұрын

***** Great! Glad the video was heplful! The AC fan probably has debris in it which is why it hums. That is an easy fix and I am publishing a video on that next week. It is on my other ford, but it will be the same idea. The speedometer can be a bad sensor or a bad gauge.
