For the hand impact driver you have to preload it to either loosening or tightening. You are supposed to twist you hand in direction you are trying to take off the screw like a regular screwdriver, while pressing it in a little hit it with the hammer and it should impact and rotate in the direction you are twisting your wrist and applying pressure. Hope this helps, keep up the good work.

Most manufacturers actually recommend replacing them, usually around 90 or 100k miles. Some say 125k miles. Problem is most people don't bother to follow the factory maintenance recommendations or even open the owners manual to look at the recommended maintenance schedule. They are a PM item because O2 sensors get lazy when they have a bunch of miles on them and that can lead to drivability issues. If they have over 100k miles on them, they really should be replaced.

I had a cheap impact driver that would get those out about 40-50% of the time. I bought a Snap-on impact driver on eBay and it gets them out 100% of the time. Also, a few taps on the screw head with a flat punch and often they'll come right out, sometimes without an impact.

I’m glad you warmed up to that impact screwdriver. Those screws might be more difficult in Utah than SoCal tho. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Lots of great tips and tricks in this video. 👍🏼

The impact driver I have needs to be preloaded before you hit it. Just hitting it won't make it twist when you hit it.

I use my Dewalt 1/2" impact with the correct head for those screws, I put it on setting speed 1 and it'll 90% of the time come out as long as you don't have it crooked on the screw. It's super easy, unless it's not on there correctly or the wrong bit is used.

You gotta twist the impact the direction you want to go and hit it at the same time

For those rotor screws Eric the car guys trick with a ball peen hammer round side against the screw head and hit the back of the hammer with another hammer. Works amazing Just wear ear plugs ffs

Vasselle makes the impact screwdriver for those rotor screws. Japanese industrial standard screw is what they are. Additionally the Vasselle screwdriver is a impact driver, hit it with a hammer and it rotates the shaft like a impact driver. Work great on my wife’s Honda Odyssey.

I’ve only been able to get an impact driver to work a couple of times on set screws while doing breaks.

The rear rotors didn't have cracks. Just imprints of the pads.

Engine is almost done being built. Video coming soon!

You are supposed to put the impact driver onto the screw without pressing it down, turn it in the direction you are trying to turn the screw, then whack it. The device works by using a ramp that slowly twists the bit as you impact it with the hammer. Just play with it by hand and you should notice that depending on what setting it is on, the bit will slowly twist as you press it in, but only if you have it set as such, otherwise its just whacking on the bolt with no rotational force. I bought one specifically for those bits! That is about all they are good for but nice to have when used right! Because you can't impact a philips bit in a traditional manner without rounding it out lol

I see there are a lot of helpful hints, but I personally think the wording of most descriptions leave lots of missed and important details. While these impact drivers ARE very easy to use if done correctly, instructing someone to simply hold it in place a whack it with the hammer, just isn't going to cut it. Someone said "preload it", as if anyone who DOES NOT know how to use this is going to have a clue what that means... So, IN DETAIL: 1) Find appropriate bit (bit that fits perfectly and DOES NOT WOBBLE AROUND LOOSE in the head of the fastener. 2) Insert bit into end of impact driver. 3) place tip of bit into fastener AND HOLD with pressure, while forcefully trying to make it turn the fastener in the correct direction. (You may need to PUSH hard while twisting, to MOVE the impact internals into the correct position for the desired direction.) 4) While holding a firm twisting pressure, strike the top of the impact driver until fastener frees up. This forces the internals to rotate in the selected direction. HINT: a 1 or 2 pound hammer will make this easier. CAUTION: If the bit does not fit the fastener properly (seated all the way and snug) damage to the fastener WILL occur. Some people may have NEVER used one before, so to help them, please include EVERY detail/step. Example: someone may not know that you have to apply force WHILE striking the tool... (it does take a little practice, and a LOT of paying attention to detail) BONUS! These work on BOLTS TOO!

On the power steering fluid, back in the day we used to use an oil additive made or marketed by STP and several other brands. This was very good stuff for powersteering systems and prolonged the life of components. It could also be used in engines, gearboxes, transmissions and the diff where it worked wonders and reduced friction and heat. I could not say for some modern vehicles as they have seals and sensors that can be damaged by chemicals in additives.......or so the manufacturers say.....and their warranty conditions.

Reason why honda charges high for a spark plug change is most of the time we do a valve adjustment at the same time

Maybe get an aprentanceship at a shop until you’re comfortable. And building a customer base.

When a rotor is "Drilled and Slotted" that has nothing to do with heat dissipation as in a radiant effect. When brakes are applied forcefully- the lining material turns into a gas. The gas acts like a "cushion" between the lining and rotor, (or drum) causing what's referred to as "pedal fade". Harder application of the brakes has no effect, and stopping power is greatly reduced. Incredibly dangerous. The holes and slots allow the gas to escape, so there is no cushion action, and the braking is more powerful under a hard stopping situation, such as towing down a steep grade, or needing to frequently brake hard under high speed as in a race, or being chased by Police or gang members. There is one inherent drawback- all of that missing metal, and now the cross section of the disk is also exposed- and these type of rotors wear and rust very quickly, especially if exposed to water and salt. Wear can be almost 2x as fast as with regular rotors. Unless actually needed- the cool factor & novelty will wear off fast, when they're being replaced earlier than expected.

Ill tell you what, I am not a fan of pressing in the pistons all the way without opening the bleeder valve. I popped square cut seals doing that a few times, then you end up tearing apart the caliper or replacing it. All the pressure that is produced at the very end when you seat the piston all the way down (because at that point you have compressed it the farthest, so there is the most pressure build up) sometimes it will pop the seal and cause the caliper to leak. Theoretically that shouldn't be an issue, but it will happen every once in a while because the seal is being pushed outwards while the piston is moving inwards, which is not normal operation. Normal operation the brake fluid is pushing the piston outwards, while the square cut seal is simply flexing forward, then lack of pressure the square cut seal actually springs backwards to release the brakes. Hence pressing in pistons with the bleeder closed does the opposite, moves the piston in, while all the force of the fluid will be flexing the seal outwards.

The best way I've noticed to fill up those manual transmissions is to take out the speed sensor leave the fill plug off and then just add fluid till it pours out that in the car is level on the ground so you're definitely getting the right level only thing is you got to check the car back up to put the fill plug back in

I swear by those impact screw removers. I've gotten out of a few sticky situations because of them. I think by the end you got it down but I've found that one big impact is better than more softer ones if that makes sense.

Move your hand down further on the hammer- you are "choking" it, and it is useless as it has no inertia. The mass must be _swung_ hard enough, and then a rotation of the tool will occur.

I love your videos and watching your techniques. However, why would you think that power steering fluid flushes are not necessary? All fluids get dirty and break down just like engine oil and need to be changed at some interval.

Did you have to do some kind of break in procedure for those drilled and slotted rotors?

Did you try pushing in and turning when hitting it

I might have skipped it but was the power steering fluid changed.
