Hey do you guys have a video on 05 mustang heater core replacement?

[@latemodelrestoration]

We do not have a video explaining that procedure. I'm sure one day we'll get to it. Thanks. -Landan

[@andrewloomis9990]

What happens if you don’t bench bleed the new cylinder before install?

[@jahnweakley5214]

blessed to see this comment, crying to not see an answer

[@latemodelrestoration]

It just takes longer to pedal bleed it. -Landan

Made a little oopsie myself

[@ODANGELO]

My clutch is taking forever to get good pressure on the pedal does it still have air in the system or is my pressure plate weak

[@latemodelrestoration]

@@ODANGELO The pressure plate won't have anything to do with the bleeding process. If the pedal is not firm, then air is still in the system. I've had a few of these cars take a long time before the system was fully bled. All I can say is keep pumping. -Landan
