    OK guys this was a great pre-game video -- I'll be replacing the seals in my 1972 Stingray, tomorrow AM. This was very helpful ! Appreciate you, Problem Solver Garage.

    Thank you! Just finished up and lights are working smooth as butter now. Not so pro tip: To get the actuators out, push the hood up past the prop point and use something to hold it. I taped a piece of thin cardboard to the hood and was able to sneak them out that way.

    I watched your vid on vacuum hoses and now this one so I could help a friend with his C3 and the vids were extremely helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to shoot them.👍

    Thank you for the video! Replacing mine. W-D 40 is a lubricant, not a penetrant. PB Blaster is much more effective for breaking bolts loose.

    Great video! I had exactly the same problem on my renovated vette. It turned out the rubber seal was just badly installed. Thanks to your very detailed description it was a piece of cake for me to reinstall the seal and the light goes up and down again. One note, it is very tricky to get the actuator out if the hood is in place. One can pull it through the holes below the lights but it takes a bit of effort. It is like a 3D game of Tetris :-)

    I need to get on board with you. This is why my projects are always over budget. All I needed was a bushing, instead of just getting the bushing, I ordered the entire rebuild kit. Thank you for sharing, brother.

    I just bought a 1978 corvette, it has a tear on the actuator seal. Do you think it’ll be okay if I drive it from Oregon to California?

    Bro, your 69 Corvette repair videos are awesome. I removed the front grills on my 69 and there seems to be some brackets missing when the right and left grills screw into. Do you have any info on this? Thanks,

    • @ProblemSolverGarage
      @ProblemSolverGarage  2 роки тому

      Hey thanks for watching, I’m not too sure I can’t remember how the grill goes on the car, it is at my father-in-law’s right now in his garage so I can’t go look

    What does that plug with the black and white/green wire that you touch at 4:00 go to? I have the same ones and they are also unplugged. is it necessary?

    • @ProblemSolverGarage
      @ProblemSolverGarage  Рік тому

      That is for a light on the dash that tells you that your lights are opened, if you leave it disconnected that latest doesn’t turn on so you don’t need it

  • @shanemcclaran3012
    @shanemcclaran3012 11 місяців тому

    I'm guessing that if you use a vacuum tester at the vacuum hose nipple on the main body of the actuator and apply vacuum and it doesn't hold vacuum then you'll have to replace the whole actuator. Is that correct

    Again. I have a 72 and the right headlamp stays up all the time. I use my hand to push it down when after parking the vette. I'm trying WD40 . Possibly replace springs. Yes this is a 40 year problem I've never fixed.

      Try switching the hose going into the light from one side to the other
