Eagerly waiting for my fuel pump to go out so i can go flat bed.

I had an accident and damaged the rear gate on my 2007 Matrix. I have not found a video on replacing it. The problem is that I have been unable to remove the hinges from either gate. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thank you from Alabama!! This helped me big time today!!

Question when you put them back what lube did you use to slide them back in

its not the electic thats the problem its that's a very weak impact...i have one of those...its only 1/3 as strong as a medium milwaukee - a medium milwaukee will take almost anything out, and if it can't then the heavy one will 100%...i keep one of those in my tools for when you need the heavy artillery

Brake fluid is extremely flamable

So it starts in Detroits and goes to St Helens and back to Detroits?

Holy shit, ive searched for my entire life for a video to be down and dirty, quick, without the person ranting like an idiot for 15 minutes. Well done my friend. Thank you so very much. Take Care

I like it. Add a H2 top to the snorkel.

Oh hell no!

Ford frickin ranger ranger . I got a 2000 with 149,000 on it .

Why did you change it? Trying to figure out if it’s the pump or filter

Your not very smart. And the video is blurry. You must be on drugs

Nice music! Although I may drop the tank. It would take longer to slide the bed back, for removing the toolbox and bed liner would take longer. Also, I've got to drop the fuel tank to get to the blown brake line. Which chose to blow in between the fuel tank and the frame. 🤔🤷 The current fuel pump is 27yrs old and the original factory one.

Nice job on this video. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you

Mine has been leaking fluid for 15 years when the weather gets cold.. I never see fluid leaking or on the ground nor around the bell housing and or fire wall.. WTH could be the issue?

Oring tool. Or just slip a stiff thin smooth awl, very small screwdriver or other and pry them off. Lubricate with silicone oil first. Not silicone mixed with distillates. Or other fluid not harmful to rubber. Razor is sharp and can easily score the outer wall.

After getting broken pin out , going to replace with a new stronger Pin that I will make vs the same pin that will shear off again the next time.

I didn't hours trying to use the plastic tool that came with. Went to the parts store and got the metal version and it released within 5 minutes. Now what were you saying about blowing the seals? Don't press the clutch until everything's back together and you have brake fluid in it?

Thanks bro lifesaver and money saver hell yea information goes crazy when you can actually obtain it

lol I had to get my bed off with 1/2 ratchet and a 24mm wrench for leverage.

Question: What is the path of the antenna wire? Does it go down the front by the windshield, or between the front & rear passenger side, or somewhere else? I have to replace mine but want an idea of the path before I take it apart. Thanks.

GREAT VIDEO! For my exact project Ranger year and model I bought last summer finish8ng it’s full restoration after it sat in a garage in storage after kid who owned it passed away his mom parked it in 2002 I found it 2023! Had to redo a lot as it was not properly stored but looks like it just came out of the factory. After this will drive like it too hopefully lol Thanks guys very well done no waste no fluff. You’re awesome!

It did thanks

You missed the million dollar chance to soundproof the roof metal

I had no idea the beds came off that easy . I had my broken fuel line near the tank fixed , and no telling how much money I saved by not having it towed.

Great call on the tool loan; that's indispensable. Also, thanks for showing things on the new parts from there removal or again once it's out for clarity. Just finished my swap out and took about an hour and a half for anyone wondering about time frames. Thanks for the info, guys.

Great informative video! Someone was looking for help and I found your video and shared it with them. Also helps me out cause I might have to change my fuel pump assembly. The other day my gas gauge dropped to empty and the fuel light came on right after filling the tank 😂 2 days later the gauge worked and was back to normal and a week later the same thing happened again. Watching the video definitely helped cause I didn’t want to drop a tank in my driveway. Mine is a 2004 Ranger XLT. I subscribed as well. 👏🤜🤛

I’m sitting on the side of the freeway waiting for a tow truck after my fuel pump on my 98 ranger went out. This video gives me much hope that this problem is easier to address than I thought. Thank you!

I cut the heads off a couple bolts and slotted the top and put those in the top holes to make sure the gasket is aligned. Put in bottom bolts then screw the top bolts back out. Works good.

Sh1t. I need more tools

What did you pull this off of?

Really detailed video thank you for taking the time to teach all us how to do this sir

If you have a engine hoist and some rope/come-a-long straps then use that to take the bed off. Makes it a 1 peson job.

One of the best videos I have seen, great detail.

The 8.8 swap was so worth it on my 1992 Ranger. Managed to grab a 3.73 LSD, disc brakes and swapped over an 8.8 aluminum cover from a 2002 Explorer for less than $170 at my local junkyard then sold my stock rear end on OfferUp for $250 😂

i have somany questions about the wall outlet on the rear of the car why? how ? and details lol i wanna do soming similar

And remember, Always disconnect your battery before working on electronical parts kids.

Kinetic rope

The reason your plastic fuel line tool didn’t work is because it’s the 5/16 one and that line is 3/8 which should be the blue one of the set. My plastic tool worked fine when I figured out that mistake

What parts store did you rent that kit from?

I want to thank you very much for this exceptional video. These exact thing happened to my son’s car last night. With this video I was able to troubleshoot the problem and also fix it. I bought the exact part number you got, did the exact thing you said to do which was to sand it down and now it works perfect. God bless you, sir and thank you so much for this video you have save me and My Family a lot of money.

I'm really interested!!!and I'm a machine so i want more of this

Worst video about this on the Internet. You don't have to take out the engine nor the transmission. You don't take apart the brake and clutch assembly this whole piece just pops out by turning the cylinder at the fire wall then pop the clip to the tranny and take out the screw of the reservoir

You are a life saver.

❤great fix video😮

Was it necessary to remove the bumper to just remove the fender?

Thanks for the video. This question comes some time after you posted, but I'm hoping to still get an answer. I only need to lower the front (driver's side) of the headliner, so I can reattach my sunroof drain hose. Do I have to go through all of this, or is it possible just to remove the A-pillar cover and the visor(s) to lower the headliner?

Not the best video for me.... he misses so many things that there is no way to go thru....had to stop repeatedly scratching my head. For example i have no idea what he is doing around @7:00. Had to find other videos to complete the job. All in all, nice guy, well intended but not easy to follow. When you have to guess, and stop & rewind the video over 10 times you know the guy is screwing around. Just my honest opinion

This gives me so much confidence!!! Thank you thank you!
