Great suggestion......gets my thumb's up. we'll have to send that to the design engineers and see what they say.

@@jkgopostal Happy to have helped you. Have fun mowing the lawn!

@@SuperElandariego I didn’t have to remove it because the line burst and leaked out on its own. I was having probs with the a/c system so I took it to a local garage…….it was low on refrigerant. The garage filled it up for me….::it worked for a few days then the line ruptured and leaked all the refrigerant out. If I were to replace the line and the a/c was still working then yes, I would have had to have the refrigerant purged from the system.

@@galaxyflyer1 although it is much more safe, I didn’t do the conversion because I wanted to keep the car as stock as possible. I convinced myself converting just the MC was far less intrusive to the car than changing most of the front suspension. That said, if I ever have the car to my kids/grand kids I would probably do the conversion like you.

@@chriskrull-tl7mc glad to have helped. Good luck on your project!!

@@gigif8566 glad to help. It took me awhile to figure it out. Hopefully this will fix your leak as it did mine. Cheers!

Glad to have helped you. Happy lawn mowing!

At least 3-4 inches. I was continually checking and stopped as soon as I had enough room. Good luck with your repairs!

Sweet! '63 Convertible in my garage.

Glad to have helped you. Happy lawn mowing!!!

I like ur suggestion but I don’t think it could work because there are different metals at play…..there is steel, white (pot) metal and I think stainless too. Heating them up may possibly affect the chrome plating too. Thanks for watching!

Glad to have helped. the dual bowl MC will give you more piece of mind.

Where did you buy that master cylinder ? Are the ones at napa better than the ones available at auto zone ?

Great video, Thanx !

Glad to have helped and especially to help make the kids happy travelers!

Glad to be of assistance. This job is relatively easy so I’m sure you’ll be mowing the lawn in no time!!

NM, unfortunately I do not have a list of the part numbers readily available. You should be able to re-watch the video and pause it so you can write down the individual parts numbers. Its been a while since I made this video, but I believe i included the part number for every part I added or included in this project. good luck and let us know how it turned out for you!

After watching several times, have gotten all part numbers, as soon as my new lines come in the project will be done. My falcon is a 1964 , it was parked outside on grass, the moisture wasn't kind and rear lines suffered so replacing front to back and all 4 wheel cylinders. Thanks for the video , I will document the parts numbers for future reference.

Robert, all I had t do was swap the new MC brake push rod and use the original (and shorter) in its place. have had zero problems since I put the dual bowl MC in my car. good luck!

Hopefully this helped you on your project. glad you liked the tunes!

Thanks.....hopefully the video helped you.

the video contains both the Ford part number (BV61-18K580-KF) and it also contains the part number for the Gates aftermarket hose which I bought and installed. the Gates # is 24859 and is available at O'Reilly's. Note, you have to determine if its the right hand or left hand hose that is leaking because they are very different and have different part numbers. to determine if its the right or left hose you must be looking at the car....right would be driver's side, left would be passenger side. the hose does have two or three integral plastic tube sections and plastic connectors that attache to different points on the vehicle......the Gates hose comes with everything. watch the video again and you should see what I mean. good luck and thanks for watching.

Thank you sir....hope it helps you.

There is an o-ring already contained within the connector fitting that attaches to the firewall.....just push the connector onto the fitting and rotate the grey locking tab and you'll be good to go. If you purchase the same part I used, it will come complete with every fitting and connection bracket (which allows the heater hose to either clip onto an adjacent hose or wiring harness). Hope this helps you.

I used a plastic trim removal tool......looks similar to a bent butter knife. working from the inside edge of the trim piece (side closer to the roof centerline) gently slide the tool along the trim edge until you feel the connector clip. move the plastic tool to the center of the connector and gently push the tool toward the opposite edge of the trim piece. gently pry the trim piece upward. do this for the other 4 - 5 connectors. Hope this helps!

@@10947792 I've also come in search of this info, maybe you could make a vid on it sometime for others who come searching!

Maybe late but you start at the rear you can push your finger underneath it if you're having trouble open the boot then lift up the trim it wil pop from it's mountings

hopefully the vid was able to help you. Cheers.

I can't say I've had that experience. To the contrary I've had no issues or problems with the unit at all. It is a heavy duty professional grade unit. the unit was referred to me by a 30+ year plumber because I had questions when I was deciding what unit to purchase. I can tell you that I looked at the pumps sold in the big box stores and they do not compare in quality or robustness. Again, I can only comment on my experience with it thus far its been zero issues. good luck!

was there any pitting of the metal where the o ring seals? were all the pump bolts securely tightened? was there any debris on the o ring mating surface? did the o ring tear when it was stretched to install on the water pump? defective water pump?....I recently purchased two, brand new fuel pumps for another vehicle/project and both pumps were defective.

Glad to have been able to help you.

Sadly….

unfortunately......eventually! Parts just wear out.

its a pretty simple fix. i do suggest getting the hose disconnect tool though. good luck.

I'm glad to have been able to help you!!

Totally agree. The parts were inexpensive… more importantly the peace of mind with regard to safety is the most important benefit. …..plus the wife will ride in the car again!!

Thanks for watching and I hope the video was able to help you. From my research on this project, the disc brake and non-disk brake MCs are different and are not interchangeable. I would suggest you stick with a MC that is designed for disk brakes if that is what you'll eventually be installing in your ride. good luck and keep us posted!

2012.....

Glad to help Tony. I too was surprised how much stuff had to come off the mower. Hopefully everything is working well now. cheers!

thanks for viewing the video, but i don't understand your question. are you referring to the removal of the front bumper assembly, the a/c lines, etc?

very perceptive.... i had to trash that watch shortly afterward because I broke the watch glass working on my truck!

Ensure all the pump bolts are removed....I made the mistake of removing one of the timing chaine cover bolts thinking it was the pump bolt. my car's pump was really corroded and was fused to the engine block. it took numerous hammer hits to get it to break free. the trick was using a tool slim enough to get between the pump and engine block.

I did the mechanical work then I took the Acadia to my local mechanic and he purged then refilled and checked the system for any leaks. I assume he added the required amount of oil back into the systems to lubricate the internal compressor parts. thanks for watching.

@10947792 I'm replacing the same line for a second time. First time I took off the entire front face also, this time I loosened the fasteners around the grill and passanger wheel well and was able to pull it back enough to reach were the line connects to the condenser. These lines break because of worn engine mounts causing the lines to tug.

glad the video helped!

We do live in the north east so salt on roads is an issue but it was garage kept and run it through the car wash several times each winter season. thanks for noticing.
