It's worth taking it apart. There is a groove than runs the full length of the shaft that also goes around the shaft. This groove becomes clogged over time. Th purpose of the groove is to pull oil up on the shaft for lubrication. It can be cleaned using a dental pick and solvent. This process shown here will help a little but will not clean out the groove.

thanks about to do mine on my 89 f 250. somehow looks easier than the rear.

I tried one of these fittings but the grease just squirts out around the tip . None goes in the fitting

Very nice video, going to try to change mine tmw, do Have to pull the plug on your Inertia switch, to reduce pressure in the line. I have a no start 87 f150 I hear both pumps priming from each gas tank. I Half power to the inertia switch, That's telling me that my fuel pump relay, it's good. I replaced the fuel regulator it started stalled, started stalled now just cranks. Last time the fuel filter was changed. It was a little over 3 years ago. I'm not sure if this could be my issue, but thank you for posting such a great video

Enjoyed the video. Good, easy to watch, very helpful video!

Thanks this helps a lot I couldn't find mine apparently the previous owner removed it along with the rear tank which I am putting back on

Is there a little hole under your resevoir cap?

Ty! I'm a middle aged widow, it was late at night and I panicked. Was about to start crying! I found your video and did it myself and it worked!! Ty, so much and God Bless You!!! ❤❤❤

Lo mejor y explicativo qué he visto

Thanks I will try this and I never thought there was a hole to put grease there

awesome video very clear and good english

My 2003 does the same thing. Lift up on the wiper blade lever (as if you were trying to clean your windshield) then turn the key and crank the car. Then release the lever. Starts every time.

I recently changed my sensor in my hhr......as soon as i got the sensor off, some fluid poured out ....any thoughts?

My 77 400 has the dip stick on the driver's side? Why is yours on the passenger side?

Too much talking, not enough showing. I shouldn’t have to watch 7 minutes just to see how to do this

Nice job! Feel bad for you laying in that dirt. I would have to find a parking lot somewhere lol.

awesome job

good job

I used a Turkey bastor to suck out the old brake fluid.

I have a lot of customers who use the Haslet Frame that seals against water leaks and gives you a flat surface to install your fan.

This video saved me, I was about to lose my mind

They work O K

I've considered having mine done even though the manual says it isn't necessary with regular use. I only hesitate because of how doing a change can cause issues later if you go too long on the current fluid without changing it. Mine currently has just over 98,000 miles on it. How many miles were on the fluid in your HHR?

Thanks a million!!

Thank U for this HELPFUL tip, it worked for me in literally 2 seconds later my key was FINALLY OUT!!! It has been doing this for a while & it’s soooo helpful to know that I can finally have a solution without costing me hundreds of dollars that I don’t have right now!!! Thanks again 🤗 you’re a lifesaver!!!

thanks that is what i needed to know

You did it professionally

I laughed when you found the problem, but this was a great video for me, I appreciate seeing how it all comes apart before I do a camera install.

307k and still going bought our hhr new in 2007

Gracias excelente video

Hey great video, do u know what's the size for the bleeder valve in the rear?

What size battery does it really use. I believe the guy I purchased my car from changed the battery size

thank you good sir.

Great video! Did you have to pull the distributor out to remove the icm?

Ive been thinking of swapping mine out as Im having lots of bucking/stalling/hard shifting issues when its hot outside. Runs like a dream in the cooler mornings going to work. Ive been wanting to check this off my list of many suspects but I was always told I had to drain my coolant first. Seeing you do it this way gives me a bit more motivation to knock it out

Nice to see a truck that old with no rust , north east bad on trucks

Great video sir thank you . I just got a mint 1988 f350 dually that sat for 6 years ,I got it going but thinking to drop both tanks clean inside and rust proof outside as we live in a salt area . BTY it’s stick a beast

I have been turning wrenches a long time and that’s the first time I ever heard of paper towel trick. Outstanding thank you

The cable does not just go back the way it can out that's literally the only reason I was watching this video dude. Failure

Thank you for being as descriptive as you are with the complete process!

Thanks, Steve, for sharing. You're a good❤ man. I love your personality. I look forward to watching much more.

What a great tutorial for this Ford truck, have a 1980 with exactly the same issue. This helps a ton! Thank you!

May l ask how much you charge to do the six parking lot spaces?

The sight glass is the drain plug..
