  • @TBoneForMe

    You can put the collar on without taking the exhaust off. I just finished the job in about 30 minutes. The key is having the right tool. As mentioned in the video, it has hard to get to the little screws because they sit under the ridge of the plunger cup. You need a 2.5 mm Allen wrench. I bought a set of metric Allen wrenches at Lowe's and cut one down so that it is short enough to fit between the screw and the ridge of the plunger cup. With that it is a piece of cake. I used a jack to make it easier to get to, but I guess you could do without. One other helpful hint: when getting the collar on the plunger, leave one screw in but loose to the point of coming out completely. That way you can hold the back of the collar in place on the plunger and just flip the front of the collar around to meet the back. That way you only have to get one screw lined up. I only used one collar on each side. I'm going to drive for a while and then check everything for tightness again. Thanks for the clear video.

    Does it work if sanding by hand ?

    • @focusedwherever
      @focusedwherever 2 місяці тому

      I think it would work to some extent, but it would be difficult. The circular discs are small so it could be difficult to hold them and make good contact with the surface. If you don't have a drill to use the pad holder and discs, it's probably better to buy sheets of sandpaper, with the last being 3000 or higher, and a sanding block.

    Were you able to use jack pads that lift the car using the Porsche jack points?

    • @focusedwherever
      @focusedwherever 2 місяці тому

      Yes, I use the rubber hockey puck style twist to lock pads in the Porsche jack points. Those then rest on the quickjack blocks when the jack is lifted. The smaller size of the jack pad compared to the blocks keeps all contact with the car away from anything that shouldn't be touched. With this set up and my small yellow ramps, I have no issues with clearance and the jack has sufficient space to start the lift and pressurize before bearing weight.

    Kinda wonder if anytime you stop a shaft from moving, any damage may occur to the original part over time. Appreciate the video but I believe unplugging vacuum lines is probably just as good. Or if you want full play need to go valve controller. To each its own.

    • @focusedwherever
      @focusedwherever 2 місяці тому

      I have an aftermarket over axle pipe, which causes the last set of positioning brackets for the vacuum lines to be lost. By plugging the lines back into the valves, they hang nicely even with those brackets absent. No contact with anything, no sharp bends, etc. At one point, I bought hose plugs and was going to zip tie them, but decided I liked the more secure option of plugging in and using collars. I plan to do a couple checks soon. First if the collars are staying put, then a few months after that, remove the collars and see if everything is still working/moving freely. I didn't consider a valve controller because I like loud all of the time.

    • @JeffMcAhren
      @JeffMcAhren Місяць тому

      Fair question, I've wondered about this, too. Even without the split collars, the shafts are stopped from moving when they reach the limit. With split collars, they just have a different/shorter limit. And since the movement is caused by vacuum (versus a mechanical motor or actuator), I *think* it should be fine. Time will tell.

    too much time wasted explaining what each test is. We don't care about that. We clicked on the video to see if it was accurate because we're all familiar with test strips and we're trying to find some that are accurate. If we didn't even know how these things worked then we would just assume all test strips do what they are supposed to and wouldn't think of clicking this video. Stop wasting viewers time and get to the point.

  • @Kev931

    Nice video! Yep, that's what Pooli uses to scan, and Hach manufactured Test strips like these have the most accurate readings. BTW you are comparing Total Hardness to the pool store Calcium hardness. So the reading of TH should be about 1.2-1.4x higher. It looks more pink than purple to me anyway so I would call that a reading of about 350 for TH....colors are subjective, just use Pooli ;)

      There is a variation on this idea that could work. There's a room directly above the garage. However, right outside the garage where the portable ac sits, there's a somewhat extended soffit. I could potentially go up through the garage ceiling, make a quick 180 and have it vent out there. I ran a low voltage line through that area once, so I know there's space even for the bigger size of the vent tube.

    What if the intake hose just reused the already cool air in the garage instead of hot humid air from outside. Would that help the unit not work so hard? But maybe also keep the humidity down!

      This is a good question. I investigated that in the next video for this project. ua-cam.com/video/Sh8awmUVW4A/v-deo.html

    Split systems work amazing for a garage even in south Florida.

    The fan uses a lot of power. Try moving it a bit away from the back wall and other places to see if you can get better circulation at a lower setting.
