Why you do not show how you replace that joints?🤔
@@guglegugle8075 The ball joint itself is not serviceable, as it is integrated into the upper control arm. You have to replace the entire unit. 😎
It was fun to see you out there and to shoot photos of you.
This is a great video. Good idea drilling the access hole to remove the allens on the expansion valve. Unfortunately, a critical error was made on the installation. Whan an A/C system is opned to the atmosphere oxygen is introduced into the system. It is critical that the system be placed into a vacuum to remove the moisture now trapped inside the system. Without pulling a vacuum, the refrigerant charge is automatically filled with moisture when the system is charged up. I would suggest using a vacuum pump and attach a micron gauge to ensure a deep vacuum has been reached before charging the system. Appreciate the video. It is very helpful with bolt locations and other useful tips.
Does your lower pipe that is connected to the expansion valve towards you have any sweats or condensation. Mine seems too and i want to know if that is normal.
Amazing
@AdamsWrenchTherapy I enjoyed your video, learned a lot. The inside of yours looks a little different than mine. Looks like mine is leaking from the above of where you were replacing your gasket, it’s that piece that was taped on and Sits on top of the unit in the back left corner. If I could figure out how to add a picture, I would, but I can’t lol. Any idea what it could be? It is literally flooded my closet and into my dining room and entryway ruined my hardwoods.
@@SS-mu8vk I would start by making sure all your drain pipes are unobstructed.
@@AdamsWrenchTherapy Is there a way I could send you a couple of pictures of my unit so you can show me where I need to check? Because like I said, mine looks a little bit different than yours.
Really good video, thanks!
@@MaxResDefault2600 Thanks!
Thanks didn't that was used like that
No Amana furnace for me .. if their current models still do this.
You went thru a lot. All we do is break the ball joint use a compact to crack axel nut lose and bang the axel once. Axel came right out. Using a breaker bar is harder work when u have a impact
Were did u get your parts and part numbers for your value cover bolts

Fantastic video! Life saver
@@tjkoch408 Happy to help!
Adam your video was spot on and made the process so much quicker. Well done sir!!!
@@nunya9367 Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to help out!
This is a great video. I have a 2008 Honda crv that throws out cold air when it starts and after a while it starts blowing out hot air. Could the expansion valve be the problem?
Thanks for the video I'm getting ready to do my 06. Did you use aftermarket or OEM I'm trying to decide which way to go.
Certainly does have a receiver dryer out on condenser. Expansion valves aren't filters at all
You're absolutely correct. I meant to say orifice tube. The expansion valve isn't a filter, it's just the first thing to clog up when compressors go. Thanks for watching and the information!
Apparently this happens a lot with these Briggs engines. Im sick and tired of small gas engines and am going to look at electric. Cost of maintenance is just too high.
Did you pag lube your o rings
One more fail safe I would add: modify the cover at the bottom interior by building up a small ridge of epoxy putty close to the flange. If you notice, the flange is designed with an downward curve where water will always collect. With an interior ridge any future water build up is forced toward the drain hole.
That's a great suggestion!
Great video.
Thank you!
tHanks for this. I'm here after having changed the passenger side. Your video is super clear and covers what I needed. I write that after having watched seven or eight other videos that I can compare yours to. This is the video I would recommend to others.
Thank you! I'm happy the video was helpful.
tHank you @@AdamsWrenchTherapy , you did a great job!
Having now taken it apart and discovering all of the grass between the cooling fins, how in the world would you keep the fins clean without removing all of the parts you removed?
Great question. In my opinion, it's kind of a design flaw. I usually use my backpack blower to clean it off after each use. When I store it for winter, I use my air compressor and an air gun to really get in there and clean things up.
Question...i undid the 6 bolts and left my clutch n pressure plate on the gearbox and pulled the engine..when i put the engine back in will it be easier to line up...tryna avoid taking off the ring
Honestly, I've never heard of someone trying it that way. You might find it difficult to line up the shaft with the flywheel without damaging the pilot bearing. You might also have issues compressing the pressure plate evenly when resecuring it to the flywheel. Maybe give it a shot and follow up with us. Perhaps we can all learn something new!
Thank you very much Adam!! Your approach is the most effective and decent way I have seen so far!! I'm sure it will help me a lot! Thank you very much sir!!
*Adam runs the car in a closed garage* Adam! Adam... hey it'll be OK man! It'll all work out!

Thank you so much for showing this in great detail... it is probably about to save us a ton of money.
Hahahaha. I have an exhaust hose that I sneak under the door. Glad to help you out! 🤘😎👍
Not sure if you allow other video links this is how you remove the entire evap in 20 minutes without removing the entire dash. ruclips.net/video/nKJORBjHeq0/видео.htmlsi=gU9zZwtbeb3H7fj7
Im about to do my basement this weekend using these i ordered the cans for the fact it covers more board ft per dollar. Very good video thanks !!
Glad to help out!
Best part os where the balljont was replaced
The entire box is easy to remove I had it out in about 15-20 minutes. You take side cover off the upper dash then couple of screws pop the radio bezel. Once have that off you can get to all the bolts hold entire evap in the car 3-4 10mm one 12MM socket on the fire wall. Once you remove the 2 AC lines connections on the firewall entire box pulls right out toward the seat. I found a video guy did it was super easy then put it on a bench use a screw driver 8 screws split the two halves evap comes out easy at that point. No need to fight with this trying to get your fingers down in there.
Are you able to do a video or break down of how you done it.
Great video. I'll be doing this soon.
Can you tell me why I cant get it thin layer always thigh
I'm not sure why you would want it thin, but if you moved the tip of the gun quickly across the surface, you might be able to get it to apply it in a thin manner.
Would be a lot better if you included cost, Sq ft coverage, finished thickness, and r value
I normally would have, but there are so many factors that go in to it. (Who's applying and how thick, if instructions were followed correctly, temperature during application, etc.) Price is also affected on which kit you purchase, as the bigger kit you purchase, the more money you save. That being said, I got pretty decent coverage on a per can basis, probably around 18-19 board feet. The total square footage I covered was about 1,150 square feet, so at an approximate 2.5-3 inch thickness that totals about 2875-3,450 board feet. I ended up using around 170 cans to achieve my desired 3 inch thickness for a total cost of about $2,900. (About $16.88 per can on average) The quotes I received to have a professional spray it were more than three times that amount. As far as R values go, a 1" thickness will be 5-7, a 2" will be about 10-14, and 3" will be 15-21. On another note, I did decide to put in faced R-19 fiberglass over top of the spray, and ended up spray foaming and batting the metal ceiling as well, because I want my building to be as well insulated as a refrigerator. Current value of walls are probably around R40 before drywall. I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helps you out. Good luck in your project!
Awesome video. Did you have any issues with re install? Is there any special way to re fill the oil? Or add your oil and let it circulate? Thanks
There were no issues with reinstalling. I did add a little bit of oil before firing it back up, let it run for a while, and then double-checked the oil level.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I just bought the 12 can kit. Did you find there was much overspray? I am insulating a small work shed and I'm not sure how well I need to protect my tools, bench etc from spray.
You're welcome! Glad it helped you out. You will have to factor in overspray, especially in tighter areas. (Corners, attic spaces, etc.) I would be particular about your prep. Anything you wouldn't want "peppered" with tiny bits of foam, cover up well, or move it to another area temporarily. When you apply it, overspray doesn't seem to be that bad, but if you don't prep, you'll probably regret not doing so. Thanks for reaching out!
Super helpful and saved myself a bundle cleaning the driver temperature motor, then the mode selector motor in my Odyssey. thanks for the help!
I'm so glad it helped you out!
FYI, the assembly that AutoZone shows would fit my 2007 Honda Pilot did not fit. I got my assembly on Amazon - TYC 600620 Cooling Fan Assembly, just under $70. My biggest struggle in removing the old one and installing the new one was my lower radiator hose. I finally finagled it in, used some zip ties to secure the wiring from the new assembly, and all is well.
Great information! Thanks!
Fuck yeah
Glad it helped you out! Lol.
How's the quality of those UCA'S? Highly recommend them?
I've put about 3,000 road trip miles on them, and a couple of track days, and so far, I'm very pleased with them. Sorry for the delayed response, I didn't see your question!
@@AdamsWrenchTherapy no problem. Thank you
@@AdamsWrenchTherapy also what brand are the UCA from Amazon?
"just like that" part when you put it back on the front, you clipped the video for a reason... no easy feat!!! I find it easier to mount on the back side and then manipulate those lines until the front tubes align enough for me to put the bolts through
Yes, it was a little cumbersome. That's why I disconnected the mounting bolts that hold the engine bay lines in. That way, you can more easily move the lines around to get things to line back up.
Good review!
Thanks! 😎
Excellent work! I need to replace my fan. I wondered if I would be able to do it myself. You showed me I can. Thank you!
You're welcome! That's what the channel is all about! I'm glad it helped you out!
Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks! This was a straight forward and accurate repair video without a bunch of fluff and it worked perfectly to correct the problem in my car. I removed the glove box for better access.
So glad that it helped you out!!
Watch the motor terminal polarity. If you rotate the motor by 180deg it will not work. It will reverse direction.
You are correct! The numbers need to be facing up when reinstalling the motor.
Awesome video - I tried in on my Mode actuator (driver side motor) in my Honda Pilot 2005. I cleaned w/o any special cleaner. Tried it, and it did not work.... but... Re-cleaned it - taking out all the parts and doing a slightly more diligent clean (basic though - just a paper towel). Bent up lightly the 6 metal prongs to maybe make better contact with the metal on the large gear. Put it all back together - I repositioned the flat end of the axel with the little arrow on the box. No idea if this was necessary or not. But after all of this, when I put it back in the car it was working! No buying replacement part. Just a bit of labor (and patience in gently lifting the tabs to not break them).
That's awesome! Thanks for watching and contributing with some new information. Maybe others can try this and save some money on parts!
Great video! I have the Honda service manual and it says to remove the lower ball joint. I have done both sides and that makes it a tough job. I've been fighting getting the ball joint back on so I watched this video. I will loosen the strut and remove the caliper to assist the reinstall. Thanks!
Glad to help you out!
@@AdamsWrenchTherapy That was so much easier! Usually the Honda manual is pretty good. From now on I'll get a second opinion before starting! Thanks again!
Great job. That sure looks like a lot of tedious little things in there to do. I have a horizontal 23 Vanguard that needs a head gasket. Should I do both at the same time? It looks like I may have to take it out of my tractor to get everything. oh joy! Lol. What is the copper spray for?
Thanks! I would do both while you have it apart. The small cost of parts vs. the time you'll save doing them both is well worth it. The copper spray is an adhesive that helps to seal the head gasket to both the engine block and the head. Good luck in your project!!
So I just need a wrench 🔧 coo
Maybe more than one, but nothing you can't handle!
That was a really well put together video. Keep it up and thanks for the video it helped for my fc.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! 😎
I discovered that the number 1 reason why this happens is because (hard to believe that almost everyone underlooks) the furnace is sloping the wrong direction. In other words its draining the wrong direction causing condensate to accumulate and overwhelms the gasket. Its much easier for a installation tech to level it and let it burn or leak and burn the inlet motor. But check the direction of flow of drain. It should be going away from not into furnace Furnace owners check level of furnace check what direction slope!
An excellent point! It's so important to not overlook the obvious. Mine has fall in the correct direction, so maybe I was just unlucky. Thanks for the good advice!
