Is the gaskit that was on old intake manifold reused in combination with the new intake manifold? Or was the old one thrown out and just the ones on the new intake manifold used?

Excellent video, very detailed.

Don't use RED thread locker! The next guy is going to have trouble getting them apart again. Blue Loctite is correct. I am in the process of doing this job myself. Also, no need to mess with the spring. The actuator arm will come through the back. Also, up here in the rust belt, nothing is that clean on a 20 year old truck.

Links to the parts and adapters used would be great

How do I get rodeo mode

Thanks mate, 2011 ML350 and I have the same issue.

Howd you drain the oil through the bottle?

What’s to sense getting that bearing press kit if your gonna use the press?

Hi John, do you have any videos on removing the lugs on the tires ? Just bought a 1960 Bentley S2 and heard the lugs are right and left handed. I’m afraid to damage something 😄 thanks for any info I’ve learned many things just watching your videos. 👍🏻

What if I dont have all of that to hook up to tell me what it is? I need help. It's so hot and I dont know what to do

Exactly what I needed, well done, Thank You.

thanks ! this piping diagram might help me, for some reason my oil injection no work well maybe you have any hints

I kinda cheated. Instead of pulling the entire dash out. I located where that actuator was at the top of the dash and cut a big hole through the metal where its at. Similar to what people do with Trucks/cars for their fuel tank *trap door*. Since they break a lot. This makes it where i just have to take the top dash part off.

I have a machine that recovers 300g,but inside of a sistem is 550g. What i need to check to get most of refrigerant recovered?

I wonder if the process would be easier if there was a port at the very bottom of the system and fill it from the bottom up as you would do your stern drive with oil on your boat.

Hi, it seem's like I have similar problem in my W164, but with some differences. On mine, air conditioning work proper on lowest set of temperature only. When I'm trying to increase the temperature a bit, the evaporator temperature is going down into -2 degrees and then AC is going to turned into a heater. Evaporator temperature is going up to the outside temperature and there is no more cold air flow. I tkinh that my solenoid valve is stucked open and not control the "power" of AC compressor. Do you know if there is a need to suck the gas from the system before I dismantle this solenoid valve? Thank you in advance for help

Are you kidding me !

I need your help for something plz are you available

Did this fix last weekend and this video made it very easy, I did it in a 94 before and in my opinion, the 97 was "easier" to get the dash off, due largely to this video, also it was nice to feel my AC was cold

I have 2 sets of ac gauges and the high side quick couplers don't fit the high side port of my 2010 ML350. Can you please tell me why and where can I get a coupler that fits? Thank you so much.

Thank you John for the most informative and explanatory video on how to wrestle successfuly with these parking brake assemblies. Attention to the tiny, but important details left really no questions in my mind. This information will really help me when I take on this project!

Aint that from not serviceing it at proper intervals ? The filters need to be changed , someone skipped that too long , thatd flourescent die from recovered ac systems aint it ?

How much torque do you use to tighten the accumulator to the evaporator? Mine keeps leaking from there … idk if I’m over tightening it or what

Hi John, did you manage to find my email address? You'll find it in the about section of my email.

Hello. Can you tell me what parts i need to buy to perform this operation? Especially what connectors i need to byu.

Hi, my email should be in the about section of my channel.

Hi, great video! I need help for a similar project for my company as an intern, and I have a few questions, is there as way we could have a quick conversation? Thanks!

Hello, I have got you from youtube and seen your channel ( John’s Workshop ).Your channel niche, and uploaded every good videos,Congrats!

thank you very much i got mine calibrated, these are good ole machines

how do we calibrate the scale? i accadently zeroed mine with the tank on a freon in it

Fortunately, these are still available. I replaced mine in toto (keeping the originals) to a more modern design. Another lovely video

Well done

Very well filmed and narrated. I wish all car videos were as good as this PS you can replace the grease nipples with modern ones. I did this on mine because I am lazy

My 1956 Cloud is OK but I sure appreciate your video

what do you do to prevent rust on the threads ... very nice job

Thank you good sir. I watched all the 6 parts of you repairing this machine. If you don't mind, how much did you buy the machine for when it was broken? Cost of all the parts to repair this machine?

Thank you for creating this video, I have been struggling to set my dizzy up! Out of interest where in the ignition circuit did you add the continuity light?

Such a good visual educational video. Thank you for sharing.

Great video on what I find to be a very complicated subject

Thank you for the great video.

Sure made taking off and putting on that shoe look easy. Passenger side fought me quite a bit! Haven't done driver yet. Fantastic video.

Nice video! I have a problem with mine (different brand) where recovery is taking long time. I started to inspect it and took apart some lines in the system. First I closed the ISV valves so any refrigerant wouldn’t be lost. Then I started to open some lines and noticed that refrigerant was escaping. This must be refrigerant that is still stuck in the lines since the ISV is closed right? Problem was it was quite much refrigerant that was released so I closed the lines again. Am I right thinking this must be residual refrigeration that is in the lines and not refrigerant from the ISV?

I bought a 2005 Yukon, 218,000 miles, and the parking brake cable in the cab was missing so I replaced it. Then I realized the parking brake doesn't engage enough to stop it from rolling from even a slight sloping hill, entirely empty. So something is not working right. How should I confirm what is broken? Are there other components that can fail that would cause the parking brake not to work? Should I disassemble both rear wheel rotors and visually checked it out? Thanks!

One should...LOOSEN the adjustment on the CABLE all the way in......before tweaking around with replacing and adjusting.....just saying. Good video and process.

My 2014 ml 350 changes from first to second and second to third a little roughly sometimes depending on the speed, will changing transmission fluid do any good?

Can you send me a parts list for everything i need to do this, i got an 03 s600 i need to do this on

Love to see a piece of equipment repaired like this and not end up on junk pile. Good work!

I have a Matco H234134Z unit which seems to be identical to this machine and my display went blank today and although the fan comes on the control panel is inoperative... I am thinking the control unit assembly needs to be repaired or replaced.....any suggestions? BTW loved watching your video and explanations!!

Thanks a lot, my vent clicks continuosly, now I am confident to Look behind the Radio compartment to evaluate where the noise comes from. Thanks a lot from Germany!

And the “Pro Tip” is to put a little bit of grease on the front of the rotor as John mentioned. We have had cars that are almost impossible to get the wheel off because it is fused to the rotor 🤦‍♂️ Your future self will greatly appreciate that!
