Now ask the wife is she can gas up the mower by the garage so it can be moved before the HOA issues you a citation for leaving junk laying outside. Oh the Prius is due to go to dealer for washer fluid refill and rotate air in tires. Don't forget winter air not summer air. 😘

    Scott, I don't wanna be called a tool expert but for those frozen lock cylinders, I've been told to always use graphite spray on locks, seemed to require a lot less effort to free them up and it kept my locks free for a lot longer than when I used penetrating oil.

    You might wanna revisit your comment Scott about when you said since it's made in China doesn't fit well. I believe Chinese made parts and products have come a long way to compete any JDM or OEM parts. They might not be 100 percent but they nearly do the job 100 percent. The wiper arms and blades you replaced are aftermarket not JDM. Last but not least the version you're working on is Dx not Lx as you mentioned. Reason I say this because I drive a similar 09 Civic Lx here in Canada 🇨🇦. It comes with all four wheels disc brakes. Dx version comes with rear drum brakes like are working on. Also the Lx version has no key hole trunk open. It opens from inside the car through a cable pull. Dx version has a keyhole open lock. Just my opinion from Canada 🇨🇦. Greatly appreciate your giveaway project. Job well done indeed 👍.

    15:37 and I can CERTAINLY vouch for that! Had to swap one on my Buick Lucerne because it threw a P0128 about a month after I bought it.
    23:09 and THIS is why whenever you get new tires installed, you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS change the service pack! (A Service Pack is a new nut, gasket, valve core, and valve cap; some service packs also come with a brand aluminum new valve stem if the sensor is a separate piece from the valve stem) Because I bet the nut was basically welded to the valve stem by corrosion!

    A little over 20 years ago I was having Valvoline rapid oil change to my oil changes. I had a 96 GMC Jimmy it was 97 and I had less than 35,000 miles on it. I was pulling into work, not going fast, and my right front dropped and there was that. horrible screeching sound. Of course it was the lower ball joint. I had it towed to the nearest Chev dealer which was less than a mile away. They said all the ball joints were dry. I went back to Valvoline and they wouldn't pay as I had taken it to a dealer.
