What year car is that?
It is a 2014 RG
To remove the steering arm you need a - pitman arm puller - to press it out of the ball joint.
Hi, great job, was wondering if I could add a winch and found your video, thanks, just I question in regards to the fair lead, looking at its placement it is down quite low, I know it would be difficult to know exactly where to cut the hole but were 100% happy or should it of been a little higher? Thanks again and great job fixing and installing that winch.
Great video mate. Thanks. Hope that will help me out. Appreciate it. 👌
Been a couple of years now. How are the T3s and pads going? How has braking been? Rotors wearing ok?
Was the build up less after the blanking plate noticeable?
be good if you told us how you got it out
BRO! i was trying to figure out why my drawer slide wouldn't lock in anymore! i figured out that I was missing the stop but couldn't figure out how that would affect the front lock! your video showed me that. in my quest to design a new drop down slide I now am conflicted. I can just fix my current slide with a 3d printed part!
Hey man, great post it was very helpful thank you very much ....glad I did it
Hi mate, does this model have a dpf? I have the same thanks
Doesn’t look like it - sooty tail pipe and no reference to it at the turbo end.
Although did look suspiciously like a DPF that he pulls out…
Great video, very informative. I intend to fit a 30amp victron dc to dc charger and was pleased to see that you had removed the feed from the PM unit and connected to the dc to dc charger. Would you know if i would need an isolated or non isolated victron unit?
Hi Matt can you please let me know what the part number is for the boot and were you got it from. thanks
great straight forward, no nonsense clip, could 'feel' the pinch with the hand brake spring, no 'rip, tear, shatter, as a 'sorta' retired chippie, you've nailed it 😉
Do you have a part number for this rubber?
Thank bro. from thailand I'm having trouble removing this part at all. Have a look at this video and I can take it off now. Thank you very much from Chevrolet Trailblazer 2014 thailand version owner.
Hey mate, is the process much the same for the inner boot? Cheers
I replaced the fan and resistor but still not working, any advice?
Good video. Just wondering how far up did the rear diff hose go, is there actually much difference from where it ends height wise to the new location?
Good one mate, thanks for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated. 👍🏽
Did you have to reset your traction control? Mine has been coming on after changing the pads
Thx 4 this mate. 👍
I work with fridge slides all the time, and the ball bearings are a necessary addition for longevity in our off road vehicles. The pieces that hold the ball bearings get deflected from the bouncing, then fall apart. Getting the bearings on there helps spread that load.
That old pipe makes It sound like a diesel.. annoying as hell..
How were the brake shoes on the rear? Doing my front wondering if they will need to be done as well. Cheers
They were definately worn but still servicable. I ended up changing the shoes anyway as I had a spare set sitting there and had the drums machined as well.
great job mate really helpfull cheers
medical syringe (large one) to extract excess brake fluid when pumping break piston fluid back into resivour ..works a treat
G’day Matt, I’ve had a crack/bullseye in the same place on my Colorado. Looks like I’ll be following your example to tidy it up with a DYI kit. Thanks mate, I like your videos, and I’m sure many people watch and get benefit from your efforts.
I was hit by a bolt falling off a truck. I couldn't see the chip but after a cold night the entire windscreen cracked in half. Insurance replaced it with no excess.
That sucks, but at least you got it fixed at no charge.
Hi we’re would I get the circlip on the end of the cv from
You just need to know the size and then you should be able to get one from any automative supply.
I see your problem, the steering wheel is on the wrong side! Howdy from Texas!
Yea, who put it there hey?
Great video, all your RG videos have been really helpful, thanks .
just picked one up today and had it installed. It was working when I left the installer’s shop but after only 2 hours it had stopped working and didn’t heat the water past 30 degrees. What a piece of you know what. FYI - running it on 12V
Interesting, I haven't had an issue with mine. How is it powered on the 12V? Is it connected to a battery or running from the car feed in a caravan? Also make sure htere it is full of water. Check the LCD display as that is how you can set the temperature when on 12V. If the blue indicator light is not "on" then there is no 12V power.
@@handymatt9377 thanks. It’s meant to be running off 12V from a separate battery to the cranking battery. The blue light came on when first installed but now it won’t come on. Checked the other troubleshooting tips you suggested with no success. Might be a faulty motherboard
@@alanbransdon2731 that woudl be disappointing. Sorry to hear that. Does it run off 240V? I guess also ensure that the secondary battery is fully charged. It could be a faulty 12V element.
How would I remove the centre dash glove box to replace it? Is this the start of the access to it?
Do you mean the arm rest one behind the hand brake?
Not a torque wrench in sight.lol.But thanks all the same,very handy.
I'll make sure I get it in shot next time 🤣
Gday Matt Enjoy all your videos on the Colorado. Where you mounted the breather hose bracket on the firewall is the space I have fitted a Provent catch can.( I tried a HPD brand, looks nice & shiny, but absolutely useless at catching oil vapour). Space is limited for a catch can, and the supplied hoses/ bracket dictate it’s mounting position. The breather bracket could go elsewhere as it doesn’t take up a lot of area. Thanks mate, keep up the great videos.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Top job ! 🇦🇺
Great vid Matt. M@te what are the part numbers for rotors and pads please.
Thanks for the great video. You've got a new subscriber ! Mine is MY17, but I'm guessing the process should be the same.. It started knocking when turning to the right, so it will be whole shaft out on both sides.. Out of curiosity is there a service manual available for download? Thanks&Cheers!
Not sure about the service manual but I assume there should be something available.
Yeah there is, it's the Haynes repair manual guide number 41733, I got mine from supercheaps for $60
Thanks buddy helped us a lot today. Just wondering why you said because it’s the drivers side won’t need to drain the oil. When removing the arm??
In the first video I did of this it was the passenger side CV boot I replaced and the CV connects directly to the 4wd diff so is a slightly different process to remove the CV. The rest of the job is the same.
How did you get your cat out having trouble
It's a real pain in the arse. I ended up having to access the exhaust header from the engine bay by removing the drivers side heat shield from the block. Once it was removed the cat came out from underneath but it only fit out one way. It was like Tetris but just keep turning it and it will drop out
Thanks for this tutorial. I did the drum brakes on my my18 colorado yesterday. Your video is the best one on youtube for this. I will be the disc brakes next week. Don't stop with colorado videos because there are a lot just coming out of warranty this year. I am sure you will get a lot of views.
Well-presented and very informative video Matt. Taking photos before you dismantle is a great idea. I'd suggest taking photos of both sides. I just took photos of one side thinking they're identical but they're not and it can get a little confusing trying to mirror image the photos in your head. I've just done the full kit - new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders and shoe retaining pins. All went smoothly. Biggest drama was getting the old drum off. One shoe had ground itself 5mm into the drum and even with the adjuster fully backed off, nothing I did would allow the drum to release. I ended up having to unscrew the wheel cylinder and drill out the back of the shoe retaining pins. Eventually I was able to remove the drum!
Sounds like a real headache, glad you got it done though
G’day Matt, thanks for showing the boot replacement and going into the little details that eliminate any areas that could bring the job to a halt due to confusion because of a missing step. It’s not uncommon for these to be damaged off road, but to just perish and split, it’s a good idea to regularly inspect the underside of the vehicle for damage. Thanks mate, I like your videos. 👍🇦🇺
Is it Legal with the straight through pipe ? I got defected in NSW for having a little resonator and the standard length tail pipe…
TBH mate, not sure as each state has different regs. I assume they will look at the noise (in dB) as well as the emissions.
I wish I had some plans to work off. I love this build.
So did I when I built it🤣. Yea, Sorry mate, I just sort of winged it till it worked.
Put shoes in all done, Hub will not go over new shoe.. Adjuster all the way in ..??
A couple of things to check. I assume you have the correct shoe size, make sure the shoes are centered on the axle...just hold both of them and pivot slightly side to side to get them centred as best as you can. Ensure the hand brake is off. If you still have issues getting hub on wind the adjuster all the way in. If this works but it rotates too easily, wind out adjuster a little.
the hand brake cable adjustment could be up tight pulling the shoes on even with the handbrake lever down in the off positionn@handymatt9377
How did you split them apart to fit the new Boot .
Why’d u skip and say you wouldn’t believe how long it took me to get the pipe out. Can’t get it out and could’ve used that
Sorry mate, but there was no real method to getting the CAT out once it was onbolted, just had to jiggle it around until I found the right angle.
What brand exhaust
Wow that was something I just learnt how to not strip the Alan key bolts
Nice work, any chance you can do another link to the pics? The previous ones don't work. Cheers
