HammerWrench Renovations

“If a wrench doesn’t work, use a hammer.”
This channel will feature automotive and home renovation/repairs. My name is Skip. My wife, Amy, and I have owned 50+ cars since we started driving.
I also filmed the CHAA Hurricanes homeschool Varsity 8-man football, as well as basketball games, that Ryker and Hayden were involved in.
We are teaching our sons and grandkids to wrench on their own rides, and repair things around the house. It is to not only instill knowledge, but to also give the satisfaction of repairing them with their own hands. These videos are to not only help the UA-cam community, but to leave a digital legacy of knowledge for our sons and grandkids on how we built and repaired things.
Our strengths compliment each other and makes for a great team. I’m no expert in one thing but have knowledge in many areas. Thank you for joining our journey together.

My First Vehicle Carb Swap Ever. Holley 4180c to 4160. 7.5 Ford 460 (the condensed version)
Переглядів 532Місяць тому
Replacing a Holley 4180-C is tough, especially when you don’t know what you should put back on. Through some research I found this 4160, with the kick down rod, to be a good fit. Let’s see how it goes.

Happy new year my friend
Happy new year to you!
How much for the seats
Sorry. The owner won’t sell the whole truck, much less the seats.
@ tell him 400 for the pair I’ll pay for shipping or 250 and I’ll drive down I can also take some other parts off his hands while I’m there
@@JesusGomez-uh1hf He has turned down $10k for the truck. Prob wont let go of those seats.
@@HammerWrench 10k isn’t enough
Thanks! Im sharing the link to your video, btw.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video! I did exactly as instructed. My heater is working good as new!!😊
That’s awesome Jeff! Good job!
Long mark from one of the boys? How often should those seals be replaced? I hear a lot of outside noise on my 2016. Is it worth replacing them at that age?
Nah, that long mark was me! If your seals are flat, then replacing will help make it quieter. The difference was incredible!
What kind of improvements were there?
Since my accelerator pump screw threads on the original were stripped, the new one actually worked. The settings on the new one got it running first try. I deleted all the emissions so there was no need to cap off many vacuum leaks. I’m confident now every time I turn the key it will start. It provides great power to the 460, but I can’t compare it to the 4180C that came off since it never worked for me. I still need to check the idle settings with a vacuum gauge and confirm the timing is optimal. Gets a consistent 9 mpg as expected from the 7.5L engine. Has no problem roasting the tires!
@HammerWrench ive got one on a 302. Seems to do ok. Will be fine for now
Haha say whats up to skelly for me skip..
I will after the new year. It’s hard to understand him, you know, the no lips thing.
@HammerWrench hahahahaha 😆 🤣
Thank you for both videos,, now I know what to look for,, this video is a year old how's your heat working? Did your fix hold up?
As far as I know, the owner hasn’t reported it to have failed.
@@HammerWrench thank you ,, Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
@gerohansalas9046 you’re welcome! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Thanks I'll try this 😮😮😮
It’s easy!
HBD RBB!🎉
Happy birthday!!!🎉 hope you all had an amazing day!!
Damn Adam Sandler just taught me how to change my oil my life is fulfilled
Blessings bro😊
You as well during this holiday season my friend.
ahh wheres the clutch at though
It belongs to a fella in his 80s. Automatic is more his taste for several decades.
@@HammerWrench that's fair
What size are all you 2xs what size did you go up . Its looking good nice job brother and sister...
We appreciate that! Those are 2x2s. I think it went up to 44 or 48” so there was plenty of overlap with the cap and base.
I did not know Adam Sandler was a mechanic
lol! Just checking all the career boxes!
What is the use of USB and how do I install it?
That one is for a thumb drive, pics, mp3, movies and such.
Such a pretty venue. Beautiful bride and family!❤❤
It’s called the Frogs Pad in Vidalia.
Great video skip!!.🍀
Thanks man! Had to fix that heat ASAP! 26* in Georgia is rare.
@HammerWrench damn 26* holy cow haha ...now that im thinking about it..its weird but I've never used my heat in any of my cars..and it's rare when I use the ac...I love to have the windows down better haha
We get those no heat or AC moments in mid November and mid February. Usually 1-2 weeks max. Summer seems to be about 8 months long regardless what the calendar says.
Thats awesome, what a great location!
Yes sir! A beautiful venue.
Audrey is a beautiful bride … inside and out! He’s a lucky man.
Definitely 2 peas in a pod!
U could take out the battery and it gives u access to the headlight
Gotta replace the high beams soon. That requires the bumper to come off and the headlight assembly removed.
U just saved my life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad this got you out of a jam!!
This FANTASTIC. I have suffered for two years with no heat because I could not afford the $5-7k estimate given by the dealer. I will be ordering the stepper motor immediately!
Awesome! There is a part 2 video for if the stepper motor is good.
Hammerwrench what’s up man. I am in the pigeon forge mountains. And it’s cold.
Have fun with that cold! Low 30s at night in middle of Georgia, so it’s gotta be rough there!
Did you hear that shout out I did for you in one of my videos.
@Golfcartwhisperer nah man. I haven’t gotten caught up yet. Was it a recent one?
@ yes I told everybody to go watch your page. Hammer wrench renovation. Trying to look out for who looks out for me
I appreciate that Thomas. I know I don’t focus on one area, but almost every person has encountered one of the things I feature. I don’t visit Myrtle Beach often, but when I do, I’ll swing by.
Looks great.
Thank you! It was a fun build.
Looks like it was great weather and entertaining. Missed y’all at the wedding!
We missed being there. It was a great time!
PS: Saw that some guy just came out with a fix using parts he created using his 3D printer...but it costs about 70 bucks. I like your solution much better!!
For sure. Try it out and if you need the 3D part, it’s an option.
Awesome video!!! Going to try to do this tomorrow using your advice and instructions! Thanks so much!!!
Good luck with your repair, Joe. Just had another viewer fix his yesterday and was happy. It’s not hard, just uncomfortable contorting under the dash. And when it’s fixed, $3k stays in your pocket!
Hi. I finally did this myself, exactly the way you did with the hot glue. Mine wasn't cracked so I didn't need the super glue, but it works great now. Thanks for the vid!
That’s so awesome Josh! Enjoy that extra $3k in your pocket for fixing it yourself!
@HammerWrench Just in time for the cold weather too
Enjoyed the military salute
It was perfect for military appreciation day.
Does this work for both sides?
Yes, the low beam is accessible like that on both sides. The high beams are not. The headlight housing has to be taken off to replace them, which means pull off the front bumper. Got a video for that one too!
What else could these be used for? I mean besides stairs. That's pretty cool to have 16+ lights come on with a motion sensor. I want them but not for stairs. Also why not mention price right at the beginning of video?
I didn’t purchase them. The homeowner already had them installed and had ordered another kit for repair parts. I did leave a link to them on Amazon.
As far as other uses, that’s a tough one. You’d need access to an attic if it’s on the ceiling of a room. For the brain and all the wires to be hidden. Maybe on a deck. Don’t know if it’s waterproof tho.
@@HammerWrench I'm installing them right now
Happy Gilmore baby!!
Go to your home!!
Thanks for the shout out man! Glad it helped.how do you edit your videos like that.
Power Director. I video with my iPhone and import into the app on the phone. It’s very easy to learn and use.
Omg, I have a leak on the front and believe is around the front spark plugs. It looks like I have to replace the gasket on my 2007. I also have a bad alternator, so I would like to know if I should remove the gasket parts, tackle the alternator, and work my way up. I'm not a mechanic but not scared to get my hands dirty to do the job. This video here looks good with great explanation. I live in New England so the cold weather is practically knocking on our doors. A job like this would take me at least 2 days, what do you think about removing the gasket parts and doing alternator, then replace gasket?
I think that’s a great plan. It should give more room to wiggle that thing out of there. Just make sure to get the right kit. The back valve cover determines it. It’s pretty easy. It was my first time doing this for Tyler’s van. Just take your time and take pictures/video.
How do you remove that plug? The plastic bracket looks weird
There is a tang that needs to be lifted before it can be pulled off.
How many thousands of dollars has this video saved. Another $2k right here, actually more considering we were going to buy a new car. Grateful 🙏
I appreciate that compliment Nate. When I fixed my friends car, I had no idea it was a widespread problem that no one was covering. Glad it helped you out and saved you from a new car payment. Nissan should build it better.
What scanner did you use ? What coil packs did you use to get it run properly?
Forscan on a laptop and a ELM327 adapter off Amazon. Here ya go: amzn.to/3Z2kQlY
If you go with a tuner, 5 star tuning will get you a little more power after you install the SPD Y pipe, gut the cat(if no emissions), and a better muffler. I’ve got some shorts of what that sounds like.

@HammerWrench Thanks I watched them and many of you videos last night
Thank you for watching and hope it helped you out.
What scanner did you use to determine which ones were bad ? Do you always go with stock coil packs and plugs ? Did not catch what you said at end of video for best coil packs.
I use Forscan on a laptop and a ELM327 scanner with usb hooked to the laptop. It’ll show you which are misfiring. Or the manual way is to unplug the wire to the coil one at a time to see if it gets worse or no change. I would use either Ford coils or ACCEL. Knock offs don’t last long.
Update Fixed!!!!! Quick run down... My 15amp fuse kept blowing for a while now, controls windows/ interior lights/ third brake lights ect and i just kept putting another one in over and over until it would just blow instantly. I found this helpful video, and sure enough, all three bulbs blown, possibly causing my constant short. i replaced all three bulbs and put a new fuse in, and guess what blows emmidiatly again. Here comes the fix. i went back to the fuse box under the driver's side, and i have a head lamp on, and i can see. i guess you would call it fuse residue or dust from it constantly blowing that stuff had build it's self up enough to bridge across from one end to the other on the fuse slot and causing the instant short 😅 i cleaned and scratched all the residue with a small flat screw driver and cleaned with contact cleaner and !!!!whallllllaaaaa!!!! No blown fuse, all my windows roll up and down. Third, brake light works now. Thanks to this post, i have fixed an issue i have ignored for years. I hope this helps someone 🙏
That’s awesome! The residue is probably due to a leak at the windshield or at the 3rd brake light running to the front on top of the headliner. So glad u found it and posted!!
Pinned your comment to help others.
Sounds good right out of the box
Yes sir! I’m glad I read the paperwork that said it’s tuned to be close to most engines. Otherwise I’d been twisting screws and be frustrated!
@@HammerWrench I'm starting to have problems with my 4180 off of my 460 engine. why did you go with the 4160? Thanks also what CFM?
@PacemakerandButtons In all my searching, the Edlebrock doesn’t let the kickdown rod attach easily. That was my push to Holley. The 4180c is 600 cfm from what I’ve read. So I went with the 4160 since it is the same. One fuel inlet, electric choke, vacuum secondary. Just like stock, but without all those emission connectors. We don’t smog here so it isn’t necessary to keep it. 4180c is a pretty easy rebuild. Kit was $75. I found that 4160 on Holleys eBay site as factory refurbished. www.ebay.com/itm/362975467659?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fNK2amQnSWi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=5LB2607mSVS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hello, did you change out the harness or bulbs only, and if it was the complete harness, how is it installed? Thanks.
I only changed the bulbs. The bulb sockets were soft and gooey so a bit after the video, I had to cut the wires to stop the shorting. The water remained an issue. You may could splice new bulb sockets onto the ends and solve that problem tho.
@HammerWrench Thanks, man. i will have to try that. i replaced my bulbs as well, but the sockets look melted, but the connection looks fine. i will have to splice new sockets in or upgrade to the led unit. I hope this gets rid of my instant short on fuse it would last a few cycles on my driver side window switches, then blow, now it's instant. Thanks again
If that works for ya, post it back here to help others. Thanks man.
This is probably the only video where brake cleaner and lubricant are not used. EVERYONE else recommends it, otherwise there's a good chance the brakes will squeal.
Yes, it is good practice to use those products. This was the first brake job for the car. It was under 20k miles and the pad change was due to chatter and seizures of the rear pads in reverse. Certainly odd behavior for a new car. The change did resolve the issue but there was no evidence as to why it began.
@@HammerWrench The squeaking of the brakes disappeared because during the replacement there was minimal cleaning of the guides on the brake pad support. But things can come back when unlubricated guides oxidize.
@adamverbik8920 the noise only happened in reverse.
@@HammerWrench I know about it. When you move backwards, the brake shoe touches the disk with the other edge and a small shift occurs. But if it cannot shift smoothly on the grease, it starts to squeal. This happens, for example, with doors with poorly lubricated hinges, when you can open without squeaking and close only with a squeak. Or vice versa.
@adamverbik8920 thank you for your input. I’ll put those to use in future repairs in or off video.
To bad my stairs are carpet. I'd like little puck lights that i can put into the side of the wall.
Those would help you see. Wearing socks on stairs will help you get down them briskly!!
So awesome that you can do your own work and get it running!
Thank you. It’s stressful learning a new system. Editing makes it look easier than it is.
Wonder how many folks tapped to edit! I forgot to delete an edit in there.
Gloves for those skinny azz fingers. Cleatis would be laughing
They were a little too big. Cleatis would find something else to quality control.
You need size long/skinny gloves. 😀
Please Can i use insulated copper wires to unclog??
Can you? Yes. Should you? No. Those tubes are rubber or plastic and if the wire nicks a hole in the tube, it’s leaking inside forever.
