What are you working on today?

[JC1]

Resuming the brake line install tonight. Not in a rush to get it all done in one night.

 

[Shel_B]

Flushed the power steering system ... glad that's done.

 

[Malo83]

Flying to San Diego then on to Camp Pendleton.
My grand niece is stationed there and is deploying to Kuwait for 6 months.
I will drive her Civic home for safe keeping and a checkup (maybe a Carplay radio).
Tatiana joined the Marine Corps right outta high school.

Good on her

Rented some heavier gear - bobcat skid steer with a grapple. Nice piece of equipment.

Moving the big rocks from field to the yard pre-gravel. (glad I had them - have you ever priced rocks? Ridiculous)

Planted some trees and shrubs arranged new companion plants.

I suppose I should finally level my deck....ugh... OK coffee is done lets do this...


Oh and an oil change on my 300

2010 Nissan Juke rear brake job. A bit rushed since I told my coworker 3-4 hours to complete. Didn't do full bed-in (akebono specifies no bed-in needed) and complete brake fluid change since it would push the completion time 6 hours.

 

[JC1]

Finished the brake job on the civic. replaced rear lines, wheel cylinders, emergency brake cables. When I was bleeding the brakes yesterday pedal was spongy. Needed to bleed the master cylinder today and once that was done, gravity bleed all the lines. Went and road tested it this afternoon and went and cleaned up the garage when I got home.

Well new tires go on today....hopefully...I haven't driven my 2014 since the allen wrench stuck in the tire. At almost 90,000 miles it was due. I have to take all 4 wheels off and bring them in. I will also be changing the TPMS on all 4 wheels. Going back with the Nitto Trail Grapplers since they have performed well. Wish me luck!

nothing -I drive toyotas

I drive Toyotas too, but I maintain mine. Remind me to never buy a used Toyota from this guy.

I repainted the bucket of the Kubota tractor and after letting the paint cure for a week, yesterday I reinstalled the teeth.

4 TPMS sensors, Front Lower Control Arms and an oil change for the in-law’s 2008 Camry V6. @nthach came by to say hello and also helped.

The side engine mounts have to be removed in order to replace the control arms. One of the control arm bolts is blocked by the engine mount. Unfortunately, removing the engine mount on the driver side means you will need to drop the front portion of the subframe (a little bit) in order to allow for removal.

Today, finish the tailgate repair on the truck. Install rear bilstein shocks. and replace the rear axle vent hose. Then oil change.
Interesting how much larger the bushing and mount are on the bilstein vs the gabriel ultra.

I installed a JLT oil catch can on my 2019 Tacoma. Easy, but my hand barely reached the manifold hose nipple. Nice compact unit with a perfect empty bolt hole waiting to be filled (for the hanger bolt). It's a bit expensive, but absolutely plug and play.

Tires are finally on and completed. Just finished getting the alignment done. When they did the alignment they synced up the TPMS for me. Two day long affair.

 

[JustinH]

Took the Escape to the Ford Quick Lane.
Roughly $50 to change oil and rotate tires.

Salesman recommended new rear wiper (says torn), and cabin filter, and air filter. $175 for all services.

I pass on all those services, and check the rear wiper when I get to the car. Sure enough torn. Feel good that the dealer was being honest about that, so I order all three items from rock auto for like $30.

Install all three items in 30 minutes. Cabin filter was clean, and engine air filter had some dust on it, not bad at all.

Thanks quick lane.

Today's maintenance routine. I need to put together a new addition to the tool collection. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DY9HBAK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This should make tire rotations on my trucks a lot easier. I was struggling with rotations lifting 100lb tires on studs in a awkward position. So we will see how this works. Plan:

1. Remove tires and clean the barrel of rims, apply sealant. This is done every 5000 miles.
2. Rotate tires front to back, passenger to driver rear and rear straight forward. Torque to 85ft lbs. Before doing this inspect brakes and apply Fluid Film as needed.
3. Oil change and new filter. Using Wix 51348 and Mobil 1 5w30.
4. Fill tires with correct air pressure.
5. Sweat profusely thinking about the mini split.

This is on the 2014 Tacoma which has 110,000 miles now.

A little late in the season but my mountain bike.

Maybe I found the leak on the Focus. Thought it was the headgasket I failed so miserably at. Or maybe the over pressurization found the weakest leak. Found out in a week!

Fairly easy fix! You gotta love that.
