04 Mercedes SL55 AMG Air filter replacement the smart, quick and easy way!
do not take apart the entire air box assembly. you only need to remove a few screws and the air filters are changed very quickly.

Stopping mice from getting in my 2010 Armada
Переглядів 2211 місяців тому
if you have kids and an SUV, they are going to leave food. I used some stainless steel wire mesh to create a grate to prevent mice from chewing through the air filter and gaining access to the cabin where they can chew wires and make a mess.
Lead Faucet from Amazon

A quick lead test on a brand new faucet sold by Amazon. Fixtures containing lead are illegal to sell in the United States. Likely all metal made of brass produced in China is full of lead.

Good job!
LOL, I had the same idea, but unfortunately, trash bags aren't airtight.
Hello, is this for the FlexFuel model or the regular gasoline only model? & what size fuel pump on the gasoline or the flexfuel option if you have it it would GREATLY help me. (i.e. 255LPH, 355, 505, etc.).
Regular fuel. 190gph I believe. This is to replace with the same pump that shipped from the factory and will last for 10 years of wives running the car down to Empty.
i also did this but after few minuts it came back
there must be a hole somewhere in your plastic bag or it wasn't sealed properly.
I will definitely do that today!!! I don't have time to order one online. Thanks bro ❤
Can yoy actually hook a bottle to this to capture refrigerant?
You need a recovery machine for that. This is good if you have a system that's already evacuated.
@@johngrefe2232 thanks!
Does the vaccumed pack weigh more than normal????
It definitely feels heavier because the weight is less distributed, but the weight is the same.
Question - did anyone have a plastic air duct that was blocking the area where the alternator is? And if so, how did you remove it? I have a 2005 4.8is and there is a plastic scoop/air duct on the lower front bumper. That scoop extends far enough to block the first 1/3 of the alternator bracket and blocks all access. I have tried to remove it but there is no obvious way to do it. Help!!
Beautiful roof, beautiful land!

hate to break it to you but there is still lead pipes in use in usa ....most have been replaced but not all yet......
Yes, I am very aware. I am on a new well I drilled. Trying to ensure my kids are safe.
@@johngrefe2232 its usually safe unless to much chlorides are used in the water like in certain fringe cases which were heavily publicised im sure i dont need to mention them
@@unlockeduk the test I used is calibrated to hit positive on plumbing fixtures at the legal limit.

Dude, that is so freakin awesome! Congrats again! Your family will make truly wonderful memories growing up there 🤩❤👍👍👍
yahoo, John ~Thanks~you made great upload!have a good one,))
Great video. I got same issue but it's been a week and still not able to remove the last bracket nut out. Not enough space to completely pull it out since the diff is in the way. How did you move the diff to get some clearance? Fyi, I unbolted the 4 diff nuts as well but still not able to move it out the way. Tips pls?
did you remove the driver's side axel?
I did but it's still too hard. Did you also remove the shaft or just leave it. I'll try to pry it again and see what happen. Thx again.
You probably got it by now but mine didn't come apart easily either. The oil pan has an intermediate spline gear inside that seals hard against the oil pan. It took a stupid amount of prying and wiggling at the diff to get it to move the 1 Inch you need to clear the bolt head
This is a great video. If you follow everything that he does, the job should be easy. As far as getting that last bolt out that's behind diff Get you a jack. Place it up under a differential. Do not put a lot of pressure on it. Get a come along and pull it away from Oil pan housing and that will give you enough to room to get the bolt out and it will not drop down. It will rest on the undercarriage
Thanks homie 🙏🏽
Do those pins on the bracket adjust how just alternator would be sitting in there?? My alignment is off on bottom alternator pulley. P.S its a new pulley and ive tried adjusting alternator and PS pump a couple times now with no fix
I've gotten reman alternators from Oriellys that had the wrong pulley on them. the pins shouldn't adjust the alignment since all of the bolts along the side of the block create a really static placement. the bolts on the face of the engine and pins are preventing flexing of the bracket fron the belt being driven. if the alternator is correct, the most likely i remember is the lower alternator bolt not being aligned straight through the rear hole and instead skewed to the side where it can threat of the casting of the bolt hole and appear to be tightening.
@@johngrefe2232 That last part has to be my problem . Or i noticed on alternator has some type of adjustment guide pin on the lower slot. Idk what it is
I am dealing with the same bolt
I been dealing with this 4 days now
it's been a week now i am not done working on this yet, don't know how people still liking BMW ? thank God i was lucky this leaking happened in my garage, what if it happened when am a 100 miles away from home , it's not a slow leaking it's crazy 90% of engine oil was gone in less than 10 minutes🤥😵💫
that's crazy if you have been at it for that long. the e70 updated the design and you can do it from the top!
What happened?
i returned it and the next one and the third worked
@@johngrefe2232 wow just ordered one 🥺
He didn’t take of the cap
Very cool that my phone just stopped. Here's the part number AISAN: 2322131020 $90 at AutohausAZ, I don't have a ref link .www.autohausaz.com/pn/2322131020
It is the worst bmw engineering joke ive encountered. You are nuts to go under an engine on a shit jack though.
On the e70 it's easier and can be done from the top. Funnier, the jack stands were recalled for collapsing. Getting a lift at the new shop!
Thanks for this, I did nearly the same thing.
Awesome, that's really great to hear. These are great SUVs and if you keep them maintained they run for a very long time!
Great job!
Dumb kid shouldn’t had taken off and should of stayed put. The kid’s reckless choice caused them to get shot.
That man basically killed her
He was shooting the tires
He shot a 18 year old mother with a 5 month old in the head.
@@bsu88 5 month old wasn’t there.Just saying bruh,cus u make it sound like the baby was there
@@bsu88 she obviously didn't care about the baby because if she did she wouldn't be out here fighting minors she would be at home taking care of the baby
@@kungpaopizza2126 Oh good, I'll let him know that he wasn't in the car when his mother was killed, and so it's alright he grew up without a mother (and probably no father either).
Hey so I got the same engine and my alternator is all covered in oil do you think is coming from this gasket?
Most likely if its engine oil
Ok thank you and for the video
Where's you PS pump. Did you remove it, or just move it out of the way?
Pretty sure I removed it and replaced it with a cheapo off eBay, I did another video on that, but I try to replace/service things prematurely if I have to move them.
I unbolted mine and let it rest on the cross bar up front, no need to open the system this way
@@jordynsstuff9427 please share more, I got the same problem
