I love your videos you help so much and you're so friendly and easy to listen to. Hope for many more videos for many more years to come. Have a great day and week @Ratchets and Wrenches. been watching for a few years now.
I love how you put on threadlocker. Not only does it prevent it from seizing on like how you had to remove it, but it also prevents it from slipping before it otherwise rusts on!
If this Prelude was a manual, I’d buy it from you since I trust all the work you do. Can’t imagine why anyone wanting a Prelude would buy an auto. It’s like the auto Corvettes.
well done sire, i find taking a micrometer to measure the outer tie rod and tape gets alignment perfect. This works if the tie rod end is male end not female end.
Anything that involves a bushing should be torqued with the weight of the vehicle on the ground. Alternatively you could jack the suspension up to normal ride height and tighten the bushings that way. If you don't, premature wear is almost guaranteed as the bushing will twist once you let the car down onto the ground.
Nice work! Car is definitely not from the North East. You’d still be fn with it! So the C clip is internal to the transmission and you just need to push the axle until it seats?
Same way he tightened it. Put a rod, or a big screwdriver in the brake rotor and use a big wrench. You clean it with engine degreaser and a water hose.
Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it but as soon as you touch those tire rods you better get that thing to an alignment shop straight away. Even counting the turns is not good enough except to get the car to the shop.
Dude hopefully ur doing all this work on really old cars for entertainment and UA-cam. Used car prices are plunging so u are not likely to get any appreciation out of all this work. U bought these cars at high speculative prices
look at that Michael Douglass-esque hair. Killing it bro

He’s also hilarious. 😂. I love his dry humor

You're a lot better at mechanics than video production...
😀😃
good job nice and fast no messing around
You can read my mind. @5:45 thanks for the video.
I’m a big fan bro!
You an inspiration. Who is your team for the World Cup?
The California privilege had me dying for a good minute lol.
Great job, hope your team won ⚽️ Lol "they cant hear u threw the TV!" That's what my Dad says when Im watching baseball or Wheel of Fortune 😂💕👍
Is it best on some front end components to torque them to spec with the suspension in the relaxed or ride position? Hope that makes sense

9:25 yes I was going to mention same thing. I think he should have done these bolts (at timestamp) with weight on the suspension

Always a good vid
Please tell us the torque you bolt in. Cool video 👍.
Great video! Thanks.
Dude
You are awesome !
which team do you support for the world cup?
I like Brazil.
That turn count! Yikes! Great tip!
Good work bro. 🙏🙏🙏
You can probably make a whole extended series on that Jag. Nice cars but mechanically challenged in most cases.🤨
How do I unstake the axle nut if I don't have an impact? How do you clean underneath the engine?

on some transmissions a gear will slip out of alignment if you remove both cv joints at the same time & the process to put them back is a huge bummer
Please please tighten the bushings when the vehicle is at ride height, they will wear out so much faster if you don't!
What kind of grease was that?
Looked like Lucas Red N Tacky 👍
Wickedly complex!
I always wondered how this is really replaced. Pretty complexed I see. ✨️
@10:40 the "shaguar" 🤣🤣 haha caus it makes for some easy shagging or what?
can you come help me with me G6? 💜
And people wonder why they sell complete front end kits to just replace everything.

2nd view... Darn
Note to self: Wear safety glasses..!!
