Shade tree mechanic showing how I fix problems on my own cars as cheap as possible, and sometimes for free. I link all the parts and tools that I use in the video descriptions, and I'm adding chapters to my videos to help you access the information you need quicker. I focus more on thorough description for the sake of providing value rather than creating fast-paced entertainment content for the sake of getting views. I figure if you have found my video, you want to know how I did something specific, so I even include some mistakes I make along to way, as well as how I solve the self-inflicted problems that come along with learning as you go.

Ball Joints, Axle Seals, Sway Bar End Links and Bushings | 1994 Chevy K1500 (Part 1)
In this video, I show the first part of my front end project on my OBS Chevy truck. For this project, there are two main objectives that I'm going after: (1) stopping a leak in the front differential caused by failing axle seals, and (2) replacing the upper and lower ball joints since they are 30 years old and must be disconnected in order to get to the seals. Along the way, I replace the sway bar (stabilizer bar) end links as well as the sway bar bushings, and also the bump stops for the lower control arms. This video focuses on the passenger side and ends with having installed the new parts on the passenger side. Part two will pick up with doing the driver side and HOPEFULLY finishing t...

In this video, I replace the alternator on a 2012 Honda Civic. The car started running rough, the headlights became dim, there were many lights on the dash that came on, and there was also a warning that said "check charging system".

Thanks for sharing this helped me so much. Thank God for the internet
Glad it helped!
That breaker bar is done it has a big crack
Sure was. Luckily it was a harbor freight purchase, so I got it replaced for free!
I have this same truck my motor say to use 5w-30 is 15w-40 just better ?
Depends on who you ask. I actually have 5w30 in this truck right now because it's getting cold outside and I want thinner oil during the winter months. There are benefits and consequences for both and everything in between. The safest response I can give is that you should always use what the oil cap tells you to put in it. You can't go wrong with the oil that the engine was intended to run with.
Hi Ben, your videos are amazing. I replaced both valve cover before yesterday, took me 3 days to do it. When I turned on the car, it started to smoke coolant from the engine. I filled with coolant every 2-3 minutes. Any suggestion?
There is the tube under the throttle body that is I think the only part of all this that has to do with coolant. I would take your air box back off and reattach that hose. Before you take the air box and intake assembly off, you may try to look around in that area (near the throttle body) and see if that's where the leak is coming from.
lol such a simple fix. you saved my life
Glad to hear! This has been one of my least viewed videos, so knowing that it helped even one person is all I need. Thanks for letting me know it helped! 👍
Hey brother. Ive got water leaking from the housing on the drivers side bottom of housing. The drain isnt clogged. Any tips or wisdom on what to do? Thank you
I assume if coolant is leaking then either your heater core is bad or possibly just the seal (o ring) that I show in this short. Either way, to get in there and do all this work, you might as well replace the heater core and expansion valve while you are in there. You said "the drain isn't clogged"... What drain is that? Also, where exactly are you seeing coolant leaking from? Is it coming from in between the housing cover and the fire wall?
@benwrenchin Yeah I'm sorry bro. I'm not leaking coolant. It's from when the AC's on. The condensation. The drain isn't clogged I made sure of that. But I'm getting a little drip of water from the bottom of the housing. I'm sorry I don't know what else to call it. The black plastic thing right in the center of the car. 2004 Honda Accord Coupe. I pulled all the carpet up on passenger side. It's on the bottom of the same piece that the drain line connects to but it's on the opposite side. I'm going to have to pull the drivers side apart to get a better look at it. I'm assuming this is the same area that commonly leaks if your drain line is clogged. But mine isn't. Thank you so much for the response!
@850CANE No problem, good luck hunting it down. If you figure it out, give me an update if you can.
@benwrenchin That housing that the evaporator coil slides into I'm assuming to replace that you're going to have to pull the whole dash right?
@850CANE No it comes out without removing anything else. I think I showed it in the short, but it's in the full video (linked on the short)
Useless? I basically diagnosed my obs with that light. It died on me. Tested wiring with that light. I found that the fuel pump relay was gone.
Useless in the sense that we all have a flashlight on our phone that is way brighter and easier to use.
You saved a ton of money doing it yourself, good job.
Thank you!
use sockets or seal installer, smaller seals use toilet paper roll haha
Never heard of a seal installer, I'll check it out. Thanks!
It is cheaper to use a block of soft wood
I always use a roll of tape because it's round and I always have different sizes. For this particular seal, a block of wood wouldn't fit in the recessed round hole, unless I were to cut it into a circle of the same size. Sometimes a roll of tape is the best option.
All the tapes
Just two, I've done 4 seals now with just these two rolls of tape haha
Guessing the truck drives smoother. Would love to see a test drive after repairs. Best part of working on your car is seeing if what you did worked. 🙏
For sure! I'm in the middle of the driver side, but I'll be sure to include a test drive at the end of part 2!
Hey, thanks for the vid, i tried that but it didn't fix the problem, the security latch in the back of the interiot of the vehicle to relase the trunk wont work either, so my trunk is locked locked, any idea how to unlock it in order to change the system ? Manu thanks :)
The latch on the inside should work, if it doesn't I would see if you have something stuck in the door. If there's nothing pinched in the door then I don't know why the manual latch wouldn't work.
Doing something similar to mine, I’m currently replacing both lower ball joints and upper control arms, after doing those I decided to do shocks since the bushings were bad and after taking those apart I decided to the Cv axles after the boots ripped 😅 then after putting the passenger side shock I find out my head gasket is about to blow after I see coolant slowly seeping from the head and the block😅
It's a lot of work, but it's rewarding to know you're getting all these old parts out of there. Good thing you caught the coolant leak!
@@benwrenchinoh yes definitely!! Best part of all this is once I fix those issues I’ll have a nice truck one that you dont see as much in the street
@@UnkownAdventure Keeping up with the maintenance, these trucks will last forever
Satisfying
Is there a time limit on the auto zone rental tools? 😅
90 days
Good video!
Thanks, it was a TON of work crammed into one hour!
Looks great!
Great Detailed video 🔥
Thank you!
Great read
It's a thriller! You'll never guess who the killer is...
@benwrenchin the torch with the gas line?
@@megs4898 🔥💥💀
Actual lifesaver!
Like the bungee cord
I thought it would work better than it did
One thing, clean the cover
Mine has paint on it from where the guy who sold it to me painted the engine. I'm going to try to find a new cover at a junkyard the next time I go.
Change that fuel filter
I did it when I changed out my gas tank!
Hi, this may be a long shot. But I have a 2016 Kia Optima and everything works on my seat except the forward and back function. The recline works and I'm able to move the seat up and down. The up and down and forward/back uses the same switch. Ive also check under the seat and nothing is lodged under the seat. From your experience, what do you think the isdue may be?
My guess is most likely the servo motor for the forward/back motion. Try what is in this video, and if you supply power directly to the motor and if the seat doesn't move, it's likely a bad motor.
Thanks for this. Which side of switch do I hit for power + or - ? I'm novice and don't wanna fry the motor!
You hit + to give it power
Full ball joint video will be done soon. Subscribe and follow along!
You definitely need a new drive shaft
I got one, but they ain't cheap!
Nice, will do it by my own. Got 08 Infiniti fx35 with 414000 km on it and still runs like new - no issues lol
Very nice! Mine has been pretty low maintenance
My drive shaft came out due to the u joint fell I got replace the shaft and yoke
Drive shaft is expensive. Make sure you can't fix yours before you buy a new one.
Hammer type ?
Ingersoll Rand 11460C amzn.to/3ZE8XnK
Thank you! My rear actuator was actually going out. So I took it apart, cleaned the commutator, and put it back. Nothing. Until I watched your video AND BOOM!! It's working again.
Glad to hear it!
Were u got the Drive shaft I need one for my 1996 2wd
I linked it in the description. Not sure if the 2wd trucks use the same one
Rockauto homie . Send one to your house for $125
Satisfying
That's how they got the Robocop gun sound isn't it haha
😆
Best seal puller- a paint can opening church key and a pry bar
That works too!
If it's a lisle, it's a good tool. Trust me, diesle mechanic for life
For sure, never had a bad tool by Lisle
I like it! 🎉
I do too, the Amazon Chinesium seal puller was garbage
Lisle makes a lot of useful tools.
Hell yeah, their electrical connector pliers are great too
Paraffin wax, Everytime
Never heard of it, but I'll check it out. Thanks!
Heat it and use candle wax or crayons works better then anything in the market I promise you been doing it for c 15 years in my shop
For sure going to have to try that next time
ATF and Acetone, better than anything store bought ! Trust me.
50/50?
Induction coil gun my friend the Viper 2
These look cool. This bolt is in a tight spot, those always look like they can't really get in tight spots.
@ you can buy long coils or make your own
@corey5291 make your own, you say?! That sounds interesting
Wax and crayons work with heat, I always spray bolts down pb blaster Or aero Kroil days ahead of a tear down.
Do you think Kroil is better than PB blaster?
Crayons
Any color in particular? Haha
I'll believe it when I see it out.
I couldn't fit that into a short, but I'll have the full video up soon.
Show us the whole story, J@!
It's coming. I've got the whole front end suspension apart on my '94 OBS Chevy doing axel seals and ball joints. Stay tuned, it's going to be a good one!
Throw the P B bl"ass"ter away. Use CRC Power Lube
Buy yourself some Mouse Milk!!! It's the best for freeing rusted bolts or nuts! Put it on and wait a few minutes. YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never heard of it, but I'm gettin' me some
gotta ask, why would I care?
Just trying to help anyone who crawls under 30 year old vehicles like I do, friend!
