How To: Service, Adjust, Remove & Replace the Shelby GT500KR Locking Hood Pins
Got here from your prior video for pulling nails. I'll try the cat's paw instead because my nails didn't pop out easily with just a pry bar.
They look nice but slow as hell
Can you cut a thick chain with this?
@@becm1395 It might be possible but you'll go through some saw blades and need a quality metal one. Probably better to use a cut off wheel instead if possible.
Looks like a good protector from the weather.
@@ritalockett9788 It has been a terrific investment and worth the effort for sure! Thanks for watching Rita! 🛠️
You yall recommend sealing the grout on the shower floor?
Great point! 👍🏼🤗
That tool is useless when the clamp is in an area that’s difficult to get too and FYI, those clamps hurt like hell if it gets you when you unlock it.
Awesome thought
Ни хрена не понятно, но очень интересно...
So how does this make things impenetrable when you need a deck screw or nail to hold the decking down?
@@drewbarton1100 Yes while true the screw/nail fastener will go through the tape it will surround it and still create a decent seal. The main pain points typically are the gaps between boards that heavily get worn from moisture and the elements, and with the tape the water doesn't sit on top and decay the board 🛠️
And it's doing the same thing the freezer is working but the fridge is not getting cold like normally. 😒
I have watched tis video a few time this refrigerator looke just like mines and I we t on Amazon and Home Depot I don't see my model number and it's confusing to me and I'm a woman trying to fix my refrigerator. 🤦🏽♀️
АвтоВАЗ - смотри и учись.
gloves would be advisable. ALL this garbage penetrates your skin and will have to be filtered by your liver. Use a filter or BE the filter.
Love my old craftsman tools still using my craftsman professional wrench sets I bought in 1999 daily.
I have used miter saws for 20 years and have owned several and different brands ...my wife bought me this same saw for xmas and I just unboxed and used it yesterday August 16th 2024...I think it was a good saw but I have 2 gripes ...1st I do not like the shield guard being black..I like to see where my cut line and my blade is at all times...so I found myself awkwardly using my trigger hand thumb to lift the guard which is sketchy as hell and outright dangerous....2nd I didn't realize that the left fence was movable and already locked into place so when I went to do my 45 degree bevel I chopped right through it and thankfully it was aluminum and didn't send shards of steel blade or fence into my face or body...other than that it's a nice saw
Cool cars! 👍🏼🤗
I was surprised at the number of super cool cars at such a small show! Thanks for watching AZ! 🛠️
@@TheEclecticHandyman you’re welcome MMM! 👍🏼
This method saved me man especially putting one side of the tire one by one thx so much 🙏🏾
@@BlackSupes Glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️
Thank you! Loved the extra tip about looking from the front side when putting it back in.
Thanks for the video. Was real helpful. We got 2 different fans off Amazon that matched ours perfect. A little different setup with our fan housing and rubber boot/sleeve. It was a sliver of rubber for like sound deadening. Our's was a toploader. Took about 2 hours. We cleaned EVERYTHING while we were at it and back-and-forth tool fetching. I had to use a little plastic pry bar to help get that back section over the coils loose. It was pretty gummie. We were real careful not to bump anything back there too. Appreciate your help. I would not even know where to start without watching your video. :)
I forgot to mention how long it took to transfer food into other refrigerator, freezer, and 2 coolers! LOL. Add another couple hours.
@@sacul7694 So glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️
Nice demonstration.
@@tedjohnson64 Glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️
I just went ahead I got a little file and as soon as the Thin part started whitening on the file and touching the hole I just turned it a little to widen the hole so the line could fit. I can get a drill bit and make it a little wider but I wouldn't count on all the scrap plastic falling inside so definitely something around that why that could fit inside the hole and stretch the hole out just a little and it takes literally about a second to 2 seconds
My freezer still works but not as cold as usual. Fridge part went out with a very load noise.
and it’s throwing a code. E and ff
Where dose the clear hose go?
@@FffrFff-s6u It's the cleaner intake hose and on this model it fits on the vertical nipple that protrudes perpendicular right past the water pressure line hookup. You can see it installed at 18:45
@@TheEclecticHandyman can I use this to hose off my big round wife? And deu you thing she will condensate under the tarp? Thanks
This is a nightmare. Nothing works as easy as the video makes it out to be!!!!!!!!
It would have been nice if you could have cut some pieces and placed them in your toolbox. With some tools on top, opened and closed the drawers to see the result.
@@daveshangar6820 As a byproduct I do that very test in my 'Toolbox Widget' video but it's more focused on that product vs. the liner: ruclips.net/video/xrLsvGitGFs/видео.htmlsi=n45ZF-JyKolRq9Zd
@@TheEclecticHandyman OK Thx
I went out there two weed eat and I heard something rattling in the gas station and I saw that it was the fuel filter the tube that went in it had completely disintegrated I went to home Depot and all they had was a kit for all three lines is this the only way? Please help I'm 67-year-old handicapped female without a guy around. And the kit cost almost $30. Which I really can't afford.
@@deenagleason1225 The line kit I used is on Amazon and a lot cheaper: amzn.to/498TLB0 For my instance I only replaced the line and not the fuel filter, you might look for other videos that show that of needed. Hope this helps!
@@TheEclecticHandyman thank you I was just wondering if I could get tubing. And change the filter tube out I don't know I don't think I can do this anyway looks like it's something that I'm not sure I can handle I don't hardly have tools either. Is the tubing a special kind
5yrs later this still a great how-to video. Thanks!
Snap on pliers are always tight when new. They loosen up after a bit of use
That's the one thing I'll say after owning these for a while that I'm still not wild about is the firmness in which they open and close. I'm used to them kind of flopping open, and then have to be pushed open. As you say, maybe they'll loosen up more over time. Thanks for watching! 🛠️
Great info and presented well .... best regards from chicago

might add one to my collection 😏
@@heavyspam1 It's continued to work great for me. It's one of those tools, 'when you need it, you need it,' and nice to have around 🛠️
But you damaged the wood!!
Someone tightend the one on the car im working on so much i cant even take it off with the pulley off ima just replace the whole line rip
"That's what she said."
No it's not ! the wheel on the end of the shaft has a bearing in the shaft shouldn't spin
You are correct, however as the door panels move in relationship to the shaft it's still a friction point that needs lubricated.
I just purchased a blue 01 convertible. It's not as clean as your 01 but it will be in the future. It will be fun to get it where I want it.
It's a super cool naturally aspirated car, and hey it's a real COBRA and a ton of fun. Enjoy that car, and thanks for watching!
the ball bearing are located inside the tracks. that is not a roller!!🙄
@@davidkirk8025 The complete assembly is called a 'roller' technically it's the stem/shaft being lubricated. The ball bearings inside the nylon wheel are sealed and not maintainable anyway.
Sounds provocative
Good video. I have the same pump on my Craftsman PW that was purchased in 2008. It has been barely used 5 hours and still running strong. I went to the pump manufacturer website and downloaded the owners manual for the new pump.
Thanks for the info!! 🤗
I did not know this. Thanks for the info!
Good to know.
@@ritalockett9788 A lot easier than spraying from ends, thanks for watching Rita! 🛠️
The 18-gallon Project Source totes you mention will not fit side by side on these shelves. They must have changed the dimensions of the totes because they're too tall and wide. They're 15.4 inches tall and there's only 14.5 inches between shelves. They're 16.9 inches wide, so two side-by-side are 33.8 inches, and you said there's only 33 inches across for totes.
So I just measured the bins I have and they are 14" tall, and 16" wide. The shelves are 14.5" tall and 33" wide, so 2 of these fit in snugly. I just checked my receipt and my 18 gallon totes were Item #831516 and listed as, "This item is no longer sold on Lowes.com." Hopefully you can find something similar that fits. 🛠️
Those are pretty… I’d totally have gone for that set.
@@gtcam723 Yes the Craftsman Professional set is a really nice set. I typically use them for above the car projects where I'm not sliding them across the garage floor. Thanks for watching! 🛠️
Awesome clarity, a big job for us seniors made simple . Will be saving your site as a reference Big savings for us who are on limited funds,. A Great friend to all USA Seniors.
@@VMac-eg7fb I really appreciate the positive feedback and hope this helps, thanks for watching! 🛠️
Thanks for the informative video. I’ve seen some use a spacer in between deck boards. Not necessary?
@@dodgers9302 The reason I didn't use a spacer is because this is pressure treated lumber that's still wet, and as it dries it will shrink up to 1/2" give or take. Wet boards should be laid up against each other and as they dry, the gap occurs naturally. If you're using kiln dried wood, then you'd want to use spacers. Thanks for watching! 🛠️
