Does it matter what size is the extension to take the spark plugs out?
It has to be at least 8”. If it’s longer it will be easier.
@@gabrielacuna5981 good video man got straight to the point 🫡
Nice job…
Thank you
Hey what's up man I'm bout to do the same thing. But does it matter if I get regular ones or high performance ones I tried looking at forums n other videos no does a before and after either stock or high performance ones for 2007 or older Hondas. N did u get these at a store or online
I got these online. I would go with the high performance.
@@gabrielacuna5981 also so seen some change the oil to this same car. 2.4 Engine both types. Call for either 4.4 or 4.5 qrts. That dude put the whole 5 qrts in it. Is that safe. I commented on it but his last video was 3 years ago. Don't think he's gonna reply.
People, do this the correct way. Spend 75 to 200 bucks on everything you need. The steps are very simple with the right equipment. Even that is much cheaper than replacing a cheap $600 refrigerator. This will never do the job right, and you may wind up with no refrigerator, or one that never works properly, which will shorten its lifespan even further. Remember, older refrigerators were made to last longer. If you have one in good shape, do it right. If yours is on its last leg, fine.
Thank you sir
When did you bleed all the air out of your charging hose? This video is 8 months old so more than likely you have already replaced this system since you completely ruined it.
Just how I was taught to do.
Are you required to have a license to do that?
No, you can add Freon yourself if you feel comfortable doing so
A broken refrigerator is one of the worst problems you can have on the home, and knowing how to fix it quickly ,like explained on this video is very important. To get your refrigerator running again, before food starts going bad. I've seen people go grocery shopping and come home to find out their fridge isn't working. The explanation on this video is so important for every home owner to know. Techinicians are not always available right away! This can save the Day!
Thank you, I always recommend to call a professional to look at it when possible
This will never save the day. There is no way to get this done before the food spoils, or gets too low of a temperature to take the risk of eating. Anyone worried about an emergency repair: Already have these things on hand, and a huge ice chest. When your food is on ice, do this as a temporary fix, then do it right... DIY... it's easy, and not very costly. If the refrigerator needs freon, it probably has a leak. If so, that has to be fixed first. NOTE: Proper tools are not expensive for this DYI. Older, more reliable refrigerators should be used as long as possible... unless you like wasting money (on a newer, lower quality refrigerator). It's also good to have a start capacitor on hand.
First of all you have to identify the problem. The most common is your relay overload and a 3 in 1 is correct, having those handy is good. But make sure your fridge has just the two wire going to your relay. Some have more wires and without the proper electrical knowledge you can do more damage than good. Also, this fix is more proper for older units and anything that cost 800 or less. If you have one of these units and had it for over 6 years its worth the risk. You are due another anyway. Do not try this on a unit worth 2500 dollars, call a professional. When your compressor needs freon, the humming noise sounds different and your compressor will be very hot. This is how you can find out if it needs it. Never ad any freon without letting the compressor cool down by disconnecting the unit a few hours. This will kill your compressor.
I just want to ad that this video was not intended for professionals. The author of this video intentions is to help the average person fix their own refrigerator. Professionals know what they are doing. It is not an entire explanation on how the refrigeration system works.. This is what we call a quick Simple DIY or you may call it. Dad's home repairs. I love the way , he is explaining every detail on how to get this done something I am not very good at. This can have your refrigeration working in no time, this will get it running for quite a while again. Keep in mind that once you have a leak in a refrigerator, it is the beginning of the end to that unit. It is either old, try to look, for green corrossion in the lines, these tipically have a leak.. You will find a leak spot right under them... So you would know where to fix.
Thank you for your comment
Replaced faucet. I credit you for my confidence. You are a true gentleman and a role model!
You got this!
Love the video! However id like to know, What size tip did you use to take the ignition coil screws off?
It was a 10mm
Piercing valve goes in service port side or the return line?
Service
They probably failed because there's zero insulation on any of the pipes.
That’s right. They need to redo all the insulation
I need your help, please, my refrigerator. Smells like lysol I washed it and washed it.And I can't get rid of the smell.It's even going in my kids's food.The smell how could you help me😢
Hi David, I can’t accurately diagnose the problem without physically seeing it. However there can be a variety of problems that could be wrong with your fridge. The best thing to do is to have a professional check it out. I’ve seen people fix the odor with vinegar and other cleaning supplies, but better safe than sorry. Call a pro.
Put a box of baking powder inside the fridge open up the top of it, and find a place for it inside. This will kill what ever odor there is. Normally this is done I been using this method for years. Replace the box once every 2 months. or 1 for best results.
My husband did what you did but there's no water coming up to my toilet do you now why I'm not getting any water .
@Gabrielhandmanprojects
There’s probably a leak somewhere else. Make sure the water is on also.
I thought you would start with 80 grit, 120/150, 180, and lastly 220
Typically yes. It depends on what type of finish you are looking for. These were pre-sanded so not much sanding was needed.
Usually I add 50ml of swimming pool acid to the compressor before regassing. This is to keep it clean of rust
Thanks for the info
You’re full of shit too. Don’t add pool acid, everyone.
I really enjoyed your video. It was very informative. Don't let all of the UA-cam trolls get to you with their ill-gotten comments. ♦️ This is exactly the way you should charge your system. ♦️ The bullet piercing valve is not a temporary service valve it is a permanent service valve. I do agree with one of the comments about unscrewing the puncture screw again. The reason I say that is because the cap you put back on has the service valve on it and it is designed not to leak. ♦️ As far as purging the system or evacuating this system before you added freon it would be a complete waste of time. If you have a small leak in your refrigerator what little air gets in it will leak out again anyway. ♦️ I have been adding freon to my wife's truck for the past 7 years and I have never evacuated the system, I have to add about 1 and 1/2 cans of freon every summer. ♦️ The only way you should evacuate or Purge your system is if you break open a line for some type of replacement or repair work. Otherwise there is no need to purge your system just because you are adding freon. ♦️ If it wasn't for UA-cam videos like yours we would be left completely without any source of information with various results.
I really appreciate your feedback. Your information was very helpful also.
LOL! "...trolls"... People that do things right and relay needed information are not trolls, they know better, I.E., are intelligent. The proper tools don't cost much. For instance, there are pawn shops. Even cheap new tools for this simple fix are not expensive. So, no, that is not exactly the way you should charge the system. Doing it right in the first place is never a waste of time. "If you have a small leak in your refrigerator what little air gets in it will leak out again anyway." Maybe. And, what else will definitely leak out? After 7 years of never fixing your wife's vehicle properly, you know the answer. :-p
Thanks, that was an excellent demo and installation!
You’re welcome
You didn't show putting the shit in! That's the part I needed to see! How did you know if it was pushed in all the way with no wiggle room!!!
It will feel the same as when you put in the pex. It should not wiggle. It does take some strength to push it in, but you should be able to feel when it is in all the way.
Gotta purge out air
Thanks
How
Looks easy enough.
It’s really not that hard.
Автор ролика не понимает , что делает . Есть заправочный патрубок , его и надо использовать для работы с манометром . Отверстие от проколки можно опрессовать и сняв проколку запаять отверстие . ПОНИМАШ .
Thanks, there are many ways to fill. This is how I did but there are different ways to do.
You just needed to keep the old pads in there while you use a screw driver or C clamp to depress pistons.
Thanks. I’ll give it a try
For future servicing recover old refridgerant check for leaks by pumping in dry nitrogen to 100psi and check with leak detector or use soap bubbles and pull a vacuum to 500 microns and charge with liquid using a scale for accuracy id recommend fitting an access valve
Thanks for the info
Bullet piercing valve is a temporary service valve. You should attach it to the process stub and crimp just below than braze.
Thank you
Yup sucked in all that air from the hoses and with such a small system that was a lot. This is why sometimes UA-cam videos are the worst source of info. This is NOT how you charge your system also after you put the cap on the the bullet fitting you need to unscrew the puncture screw again to avoid restricting the flow. If your fridge is leaking and you recharge it, it is just going to leak all out again, you need to find and fix the leak or at least add a stop leak product. This was a waste of time, money and bad for the environment.
It worked for me. Please refer to a professional if you have any leaks.
@@gabrielacuna5981 You did not do it right. Doing it right would not have cost much, and been just a little more time-consuming, and not decreased the refrigerator life span. Also, keep the thing clean! :-)
You did not bleed the air out the charging hose. That is very important, not to get air in the system
Thanks
I also decided to fix my refrigerator myself. But it is a lot more complicated than this. You have to find the leak before adding more gas. You have to get any moisture out of the system. It mixes with the gas and turns into a metal corrosive. Also the piercing valve is cheap and adds an additional leak. I ended up buying a vacuum pump, manifold gauge and soldering equipment before I was done. R134a gas is safe. But R600a (Daewoo Refri) is highly flammable. Be careful 😅
I have a Whirlpool refrigerator side by side and I'm smelling FREON, can this be fixed? It's about 19 years old
It sounds like you have a leak. I’ve seen evaporators leak, but could also be from the condenser or compressor. You can spray soapy water to check for leaks. It would be best call a professional to come check it out for ya if the above doesn’t work.
for a fridge that old, do not waste money! You will fix one leak then get another...its like having a rusted chevy from the 60s, You fix a rusted sppot, then you find 10 more...These are the type of repairs you want to skip and spoil your wife to a new fridge. Also, if you have a unit that has a control board, display board,electronic thermostat, you can recycle these to sell online. Control boards range from 140 to 380 dollars. This is money you can use towards a new fridge. Appliances are worth more in parts than the entire thing.
Many thanks!!!
You’re welcome
Tha Gabriel for this video now I know what's the reason that I can't fixed my leak I have the wrong fitting it's gray with gray in need to get brown with gray thanks again
Yes that’s correct. You’re welcome
I hate to tell you that isn’t even the correct mandrel for that bit. The correct mandrel is larger and had two prongs that fit into the holes on the back of the hole saw. If used correctly, that mandrel required no tools to change from one hole saw to another. Yes it costs more money. The mandrel you have I think is designed for smaller hole saws.
Thanks for clarifying. That’s how it came from home-depot.
@@gabrielacuna5981 Home Depot sku 233438. That is a 3/8 version, there is a bigger size as well.
From your video, it's evident that you are an automotive enthusiast. It also suggests that you have either no or minimal formal training. I noticed a bottle jack, but there were no jack stands in sight, except for a big rock. Judging from the video, it doesn't seem safe at all. The car can be replaced, but your family cannot replace you. Your safety should always be your top priority. Especially when it comes to working underneath a vehicle. Happy wrenching
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I don’t have a shop. I just used what I had at home. Safety is a priority. I had the wheels chocked and made sure it wasn’t going anywhere and I wasn’t going to be underneath it also. Please use as much safety equipment as necessary. This was just to demonstrate how to change the front brakes on the vehicle. Please seek a pro or take to a shop if it is unsafe.
I appreciate your video. Thank you.
Thanks
What tools did you use for taking off the oil plug underneath the car
Hello there, I just used a wrench. I can’t remember the exact size. You can also use a socket and ratchet.
Video showed a 17mm
Well Done
Thank you
The grey pipe is called poly butylene and is no longer used. As you pointed out there are crimp couplings that will transition from poly b to pex and once you have it into pex you cost of the 90’s and tees is much cheaper than. If you have a lot of poly b to replace buy yourself a crimp tool and do all your repairs with that as it will be cheaper and more reliable than shark bite. Shark bites are a great thing for a small job like this but don’t be re piping your house with them!
Agreed
@@gabrielacuna5981 and @crazycanucknation what if you wanted to do change everything over to pex but don't want to pay almost $7000 for a company to do it, what is your recommendation.
Thank you brother. Excellent job
Yes sir
Good video, I couldn't find one about just the front brakes without any extras until I came across yours. It's been Years sense I messed with it, and wasn't sure if I had to take the calipers off to change the pads, or if I could just slip them out. Your video really helped.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Yes, they just slip right out without having to take off the calipers.
Great simple video! Should you put some grease on the bolts also?
Wow great video, thank you! Quick question, do you know if the rear pads will be the same concept as the front?
Haha never mind I found your video for the rears. Thank you!
No problem thanks for commenting
Thank you Gabriel!
Thank you!
The white wire is not a neutral wire, there are no neutral wires on a regular switch. This is a switch loop where the white wire is used as a hot (switch leg return to the light) wire. In older homes sometimes the metal box is grounded with wires attached to the outside back of the box. This can be verified with a multimeter and if it's grounded you'll get approximately 120v between the box and the hot wire.
Thanks for the input. I followed the white wire back to the breaker and it is not affixed to where the breaker is located. It is on the side with all the other white wires. The black wire is affixed where the breaker is located. I’ll do more research. Thanks for your comment!
@@gabrielacuna5981 That white wire is probably the neutral wire part of the home run to the light. The white wire on the switch connects to the black wire of the light. The white wire should be marked with black tape at each end to eliminate confusion, but it's not always done. Neutral wires are not used on single pole, 3-way, or 4-way switches, they are used on modern smart switch/dimmer devices.
You have the Hot wire facing the wrong direction. While it works, you should make it go with the tightening of the screw. This way it won't come loose.
Thanks for the comment, I’ll get that fixed!
