Well, we don’t have a lube bay, but if we did, we probably wouldn’t be roasting any tires on it. 😂. Thanks so much for your great compliment! Diane & Paul 😀😎

Thanks! The floor jack, once you get used to it, feels safer sometimes as well. But the ramps are quick and dirty; great for a quick oil change. Paul & Diane 😎😊

@@carzombies you’re right for that it’s quick. Are thoose rhino ramps? Look solid. Thanks for responding 🙏

Yes, they are rhino ramps. Here's the link on Amazon amzn.to/3IOru8i. They work great! Paul 😎

@carzombies great thanks

Thanks for the info! We have the low profile floor jack, and I've seen the low profile ramps but haven't got them yet. We hope the cars keep going as well! Paul & Diane 😎😊

You are welcome. It helped ease us into car repairs. Paul & Diane 😎😀

Wow! Thanks! We appreciate your kind comment…Thanks for watching. Diane & Paul 😀😎

That's awesome! You guys must have a great relationship! Diane & Paul 😊😎

We love comments like yours! Thanks! Diane & Paul 😊😎

That's awesome! I love knowing other gals are working on cars! Diane 😊

That makes a ton of sense. The part underneath had a lot of goopy grease on it, and a shield for keeping the dust off of it is a good idea. Paul & Diane 😎😀

Thanks for the support! We have a lot of fun doing these projects. Never thought we would be fixing our own cars...but glad we are! Diane & Paul 😊😎

Agree! Unfortunately, all we got from Amazon was a box with the wheel chocks in it. No manual. Nothing. Paul & Diane 😎😀

We certainly agree! We put everything we can fit under the car as backup. For example, if we take off a wheel, it goes besides the jack stand under the rocker board. We keep the floor jack under as well if it fits. Paul & Diane 😎😊

Thanks, we do that sometimes now, but back then we were trying to figure out where the jack up point was in the first place so we were going on ramps to see where the cross beam was that we could jack up on since the car is 6 inches off the ground. Paul & Diane 😎😀

@@carzombies ah cool! thanks for showing the process i actually never tried to drive onto the ramps those mats certainly helped!

That's awesome it helped! Good luck with your repairs... Paul & Diane 😎😊

I've tried that and you end up having to jack the car pretty high because the suspension decompresses. It's really not that difficult to drive onto them, you just aren't supposed to use them on super smooth ground

When we did this it was when Diane worked on her transmission. We had to jack the car up really high (like you said), and then we put jack stands on the roadside jack-up points and put the ramps under the wheels as backup. The only problem was after a while the wheels drooped even more and were resting on the ramps so we had to jack up the car even higher to get the ramps out in the end. But we were safe! Paul & Diane 😎😊

I never thought about an earthquake! Good thinking. Anything to be safe! Diane & Paul 😊😎

Di says that it must’ve been miserable for you and she gives you a ton of credit for that! I can’t believe you did it in an hour! Paul & Diane 😎😃

That was a big moment for us and you’re the first to comment on it. Thank you. Diane & Paul 😃😎

All good points. Our mats are so thin we really don’t think it’s making much of a difference as it isn’t even as thick as the rubber that’s already on the front of the ramps. But we really do think people should be careful of any risks, so we appreciate your comment. Paul & Diane 😎😃

Thanks! Diane & Paul 😃😎

Do they have rubber to keep them from sliding? Seems like steel would slide more on a smooth garage floor. Anyway, we haven't tried it, so we don't know... Paul & Diane 😎😊

That sounds like very good advice! Diane & Paul 😊😎

Our manual only tells us where the roadside jack-up points are, not the one in the center of the car that lifts one side or the other. The online Mercedes service manuals tell us that, thankfully. Paul 😎

I like the idea because wood probably won't slide and it is great at handling the compression (assuming it is wide enough not to be unstable). However, we have never tried this. Paul 😎

You got that right! We have a blast together! Paul & Diane 😎😊

So true! It is a bit weird how it doesn't just turn in the lock like a regular lock. You have to push it in while turning or nothing happens! Diane & Paul 😊😎

I'm a lucky man. At least Diane helps with the cars, and she makes a mean chicken fried steak! Paul 😎

@@carzombies That's good!! My wife also helps me a lot around the house and im very grateful to her for that but what I meant to say is that sometimes I'll be working on a car and you know when someting just don't want to come out or is just being a pain in the arse and you are in a really bad mood and here she comes trying to help with ideas but you know that none of her ideas will work and in the middle of being on the verge of breaking something or throwing something you still have to listen and be nice to her😁. So, im like... im hungry hun, can you please make me something to eat?😁😆 by that time im usually done. Lol

Lol 😂

That’s a great question! The springs that hold the trunk up are broken so we normally shut it so it doesn’t fall and hurt someone. I was thinking about the danger when I instinctively said “shut it.” Had I remembered that the battery wouldn’t allow us to easily open it, I would’ve said to shut it softly so that it didn’t latch. Paul 😎

Yep. I think Diane meant that we had to manually open it with the key, which we did eventually. Paul & Diane 😎😀

We are glad it worked! If you have problems again, however (like we did), then keep watching the other videos. There is so much more to this issue. We got a computer to reset the transmission since one day simple fixes quit working. Later, we changed the transmission conductor plate, but it didn't help (big messy job). After that, we found out what was really causing it (hint, it had nothing to do with the transmission, but more to do with my long legs pressing on the floorboard where the transmission controller is, causing it to reset into limp mode). Thanks! Paul & Diane 😎😊

I'm going to pay attention to that from now on. I was slightly aware of it at the time, but your comment makes me super aware! Thanks! Diane 😊

You got it! We are high-school sweethearts and love working together. We also love comments like yours! Diane & Paul 😊😎

Thanks for reaching out! Glad you enjoyed it... Diane & Paul 😊😎

We are glad it helped! We love your accent! Diane & Paul 😊😎

Thanks! Welcome to Car Zombies! Diane & Paul 😊😎

Thanks! It has been a lot of fun for us. Diane & Paul 😀😎

Thanks for the details, we didn’t know that. But why wouldn’t that apply to the front brakes, which didn’t have them? Paul & Diane 😎😀

Thanks! Diane says she must be wholesome, so I must be refreshing. I get that a lot. 😂 Paul & Diane 😎😀

You are welcome! Replacing the breather hose wasn’t our original video, but it took so long and it was so complicated that we decided to make it the video. Diane & Paul 😀😎

Believe me, she comes in swinging plenty at home...lol Paul 😎

Ouch! LOL Paul 😎
