Welcome! On this channel we run somewhat parallel to past hobby interests documented on aaronv.net. I'm Aaron, your host, and I'm variously a maker, a repair shop, a restoration facility, a novice failure analyst, and sometimes I just assemble or disassemble things for fun.
Our productions cover science, technology, education, auto repair and upgrades, whatever. There's a 1:20 scale model of a 1930s gold mill in progress along with tech-focused explorations of abandoned Colorado mill sites (HMGM series). A worn-out 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ entered the mix in December 2020 (Project XJ) and its restoration also factors into my free time. My day job keeps me busy with big wires in electrical power and renewable energy, so my hobbies tend toward small wires including audio, computer tech, small appliances, and general electronics. Family vehicles and woodworking also get their share.
Come along for the ride. We're having fun and want you to join in the fray.

project XJ: Power Steering Pump Pulley Swap (and how to use that special service tool) Jeep 4.0L
Today on Workshop Quick Takes (wqt): We found our power steering pump pulley was missing a large piece of metal, possibly from a defect or an errant tool slip at some point. Since a lost serpentine belt would mean a long, dark night on some trail in the Colorado Rockies, we couldn't wait around for it to fail. But how to deal with the friction-fit interface?
Join us in our 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ as we clear the work area and demonstrate the process of using the special service tool for this job, available as a loaner set in most auto parts stores.
