Honda Fit Jazz 2007 Headlight Bulb Replacement 💡
I've been working on a similar idea for a few days. Congrats and thanks.
What kind of wood
I appreciate how clear your content is!
Just tested. I used 2 pieces of soft wire and added 2 hard copper wires because the hole was really to big. It worked very well. Now my wife can use the bath towel rail as a support railing to step out of the bathtub 😊
This is absolutely brilliant!
I’ve used hot glue and is my go to. Worked over all other methods I tried. Even in crumbly wall matrrial
For two holes in soft crumbly plaster and mortar I filled the holes with a hot glue gun. Both successful, one is a handrail and is now rock solid. The other was for a coat hook and no matter how much stuff I stuck in the hole (pieces of rawl plug, matches etc) never worked. Hot glue did it
HOLY COW - GREAT VIDEO!!!!! Thank you for making it super short & simple! I'm subscribing for that fact alone. all these other car videos go on and on... for really simple stuff. Thank you.
The problem with this method that I have used many times is that in extreme situations you make a den on the lid and it will no longer keep liquids inside. A better way is pouring hot water on the lid or borrowing my hands.
chrap tools show their true quality in such situations.
Absolutely Stupid idea unless you want to buy a new battery. Take a pair of Channellocks and use to compress both battery releases at the same time. Comes right out without cracking battery case as you may by your method. And Yes, milwaukee tools are trash dont know why i bought them
I took a toothbrush and cleaned up the corroded contact screws with rubbing alcohol. Works just fine.
It worked! Two cups stuck together came out easily! Thanks!
Does anyone know if Home Depot or Lowes have the material used in this great video ??
What is the difference between fiberglass matt and cloth, Which is better for luggage repair.
Worked a treat Allah bless!
Thank you so much. This actually worked.
But why do the output transistors fail? The inverter does have over current protection?
I did what you did the problem is only one speaker works over bt, fm radio and cd works fine on both speakers. Did I do something wrong ?
Still didn’t work I’m worried
I am embarrassed to be here
Thank man this was useful !
It is better cut another plastic and insert to the hole...
What about C3 error on IP pro plus?
Thanks for your suggestion, it saved me the cost of plumber
I was actually considering purchasing the Dell XPS laptop until reading all of the comments here. Thank everyone for warning me not to!
This actually worked, thanks for making this video!!
Thanks so much 🙏
How to clean water jacket tank
Thank you for such clear direction and some of the comments that sided with a better application. I'm going to try this on my Delsey Chatelet that got two big cracks on my recent trip to Morocco via Turkish Airline which they refused to compensate me for so this is my way of saving money
I just did my 2016 Honda Fit. No problem. The 51R dropped right in the battery tray. I bought the car used. So I don't know if a previous owner put in a bigger battery tray or Honda put in a bigger battery tray that year. The 51R is just about the same size as the 151R except it's a couple inches longer. You would think since the 51R easily fits Honda would have made that the OEM battery. More stores carry the 51R than the 151R. I got an Interstate 51R at Costco for $123.99 plus tax and $15.00 core charge.
Way to keep a big hunk of plastic out of the landfill
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. May our God Almighty keep blessings you.
Took a total of about 1 hour....for me... but it worked!!
Thanks
Hi! quick question if I may... after cutting the wood or playwook, could it bend again or this fix is definitive? or for how long?
You are TOO quick....slow down a bit so we dummies can get a handle on it
How can you tell if the leak is here? I have a slow leak, but I don't see anything near these hoses.
My Magic Bullet is the original - it's 20 years old. Bottom and inside base gear looks totally different. Just the base gear broke. Frustrated because it still worked great. They don't make 'em like they used to!
Superb video. Many thanks.
Fix it permanently without the silly clamp. No more clamps no more o rings. Simply connect the hose directly.
Did you cut the hose connector off? How did you do it? Need help as I couldn't find the right oring and I ain't going spend on a new hose just for that.
@henryn3850 yes just cut it off and attach the hose
This helped me a lot! I've just changed them. Many thanks from Germany ✌🏼
Great video! Can you tell me what resin and fibreglass to buy? Can I get it on amazon?
Where can i purchase panels and the kit with it?
It works 👌 thank you just 5min to boil n 5min to wait patiently to flush
Just wondering if you can post a link to the fiberglass kit that you use?
I have a NEWAIR CIGAR HUMIDOR 100c that needs a PC board. Manufacturer said I have to replace the board but they don't make replacement parts for this unit so now I'm stuck with a paper weight...smh if you can help me I'll appreciate it.
very nice tips. Can use those in many applications in various projects I’m doing thanks.
