Great video! I habe an oilleak at the rear. Now i know to get the axle shaft out and get to the seal. Not sure if thats the problem. Is there an other seal between the bearing housing and the axle housing itself? Maybe you can help👍
@TheMileHighMechanic5 күн бұрын
@@Dirtpros There is no other seal on the rear end besides the axle seal, so if there is a leak, it likely coming from there.

Axel bearing seal is stuck on impossibly tight for me unfortunately. Got to ask, is it fine to use the slide hammer to pull out the bearings and the stuck seal at the same time? At face value, it seems it would be significantly easier to pull out a rusted seal this way.

good video. I went to my local car shop to let them investigate a leakage, what they did was to refill the coolant, bill me €120 and call it a day. 10 Days later, the whole coolant was gone again and they looked for the leak, found it in the condenser and billed me €80 again and said the replacement work will cost about €700. So I said fuck em, never going to get a cent from me again, will do it myself.

Thanks for the video! Only note is to get the horn working, I had to cut the horn contact plate a bit, and bend it so it actually made contact with the adapters grounding ring. May have been what happened with yours. It doesn’t line up exactly and doesn’t make good contact, hence no grounding so no horn. I made it slightly skinner and bent it slightly outwards. I also had to change the hump location to more of the 9 o clock position relative to the adapter, then it was able to make contact with the ring, and get horn sounds

I have a 05 element morning start is ruff for like 4 seconds.. i replaced new spark plugs and coils and fuel injectors and throddle body plus new battery.. only thing im waiting on a hopeing could be my issue is the fuel pump.. what symtoms did you get before replacement?? My element have 200k Miles..
@TheMileHighMechanicАй бұрын
My fuel pump was actually completely fine when I replaced it, I was putting a turbo on it, so I needed a higher flowing pump. However the general rule of thumb with the fuel pump is that I you can hear it prime when you turn the key, then it is working. If you cannot hear it prime then it is dead...if it is an intermittent problem it is likely not the fuel pump...also if it starts and runs, it is not the fuel pump.
