Thanks so much however..... if you have a large hand getting it down in there and trying to grip it is almost impossible...VW...come on man! why?

Do NOT screw the castle nut back on before hammering the old tie rod. It can get stuck on the threads and the spindle will spin freely so you can't get it back off. I followed your instructions and ended up having to use a cutoff wheel to get the old tie rod off.

You deserve a LIKE just for the perseverance alone! Man, that's the kind of trouble I get myself into. I get in so deep, but I can't retreat until the battle is over. (Unfortunately, I lose many of those battles ha-ha!) Good job to stick with it like you did. I can't open the driver side door on my 2000 Toyota Solara from the inside. I can open it from the outside thank god. Tomorrow the battle starts as I remove the door panel and see what's wrong. I think (and hope) it's a simple matter of the door lock clip breaking off and I just need to put a new one on. We'll see. Thanks for your video. I know my job can't be as hard as what you did.

When replacing cam or crank seals get a longer bolt with the same thread and a deep well socket that is the same size as the seal and use a 1/4 ratchet if you spend any time in the gym

I wish I would have searched for this before I took it to the shop because I thought it was the spindle bearings going bad. It reacted like everything I watched on youtube. this was so simple that I've always did my own mechanic work all of my life, but now that I'm 68 and my back is in so much pain when I do things, It makes me wonder if it is worth the pain to save $117.00 dollars for the tie rod end and labor that took about 1 hour. Pain is a very big motivator. Thanks.

this video is misleading. You have to remove the Radiator.

Thank you so much for this video!!! Straight and to the point, helped save me much $$$ 😊

How do you get the housing out ????

Excellently shot video!!

How donyou bleed it

How many quarters did you put in totally???

You didn’t show putting it in. I can’t get my new one in for the life fe of me

I would add that to relieve pressure on the top nuts, jack up the control arm right under the coil. I just used the scissor jack This is also how to reinstall the strut and to raise it to it’s mounting point. Thanks for the video!

You are a star! Thank you so much for your video! It’s a monster job, but having to do it blind would have been excruciating! Thank you! Thank you!❤️🙏🏻

After fighting 45 mins I see this video and couple a smack it worked lol ..great video..thank you

I have fat hands and not confident I could do this, but you gave me good advice and therefore, I am going for it… thank u

I'm going to send this to the dealer that made me wait 5 hours for them to replace this bulb. They said they had to remove the bumper and then the light fixture to replace it. I called complete BS. Washingtonians aren't the brightest, no pun intended.

Ok so I asked chatgpt what I can do. It advised to open and close the central locking with the switch fast continuously... can you believe it worked. I did it about 30 times and it eventually worked something loose and opened the lock. unbelievable, but well worth a try to anyone with a seized central locking mech.

I know nothing about vehicles and yet this tutorial was easy to follow and apply. Got that RDL changed with no trouble and saved myself $85 and a trip to the car dealership.🙌🏼🥳 THANK YOU!!!

Can you do this on a Honda CRV or know how to?

What is your work light and where did you get it? So very bright!

So this might be a stupid question, But why can't you just put an impact wrench on it and zip it out?

THANK YOU!!! 1. For not having music in the video 2. For communicating directly and effectively 3. Great camera angles

Awesomeness

Great ideas well presented. Thank you!

Have you tried pulling the rod or cable connected to the door handle? You have to pop off the black piece attached above the air vent in the corner then the panel will slide back and come off.

I’ve installed one of these before and instructions was to use the stitchings not the holes.

Great video!!

Hi, I have an problem on my corolla.The speed dash is completely errated. How can I fix it?Thank you

Excellent video!!!

Great info. I'd only like to add that while you're performing this maintenance, give any grease fittings a shot or two of a good quality grease. 😁

That belt still looked new.. was it do for a change?

@Pen-Pusher Why not switch to a better reliable led bulb replacements, such as sylvania standard led with a 1 year warranty or sylvania zevo premium led with a lifetime warranty? This model may not say u have a bulb burned since it doesn’t have higher tech digital dash screen, even though it will tell u bulb is burned out but it’s not because it runs fine. A sylvania zevo would be a perfect upgrade for ur Jetta and so does the rest of the zevo led bulb replacement for ur vehicle.

Thanks. For the video. Other people's video suck it doesn't explain everything like you do.

Great video! Thanks!

If I want to change all of the bulbs in my headlights from yellow bulbs to LED bulbs how many pairs do I need

That's WAY more work than it needs to be, I used to repair people's steering wheels when they had the exact same problem back in the 80s, I never drilled holes or took the wheel off, I used a needle and syringe filled usually with super glue, I would push the needle into the wheel until it hit metal and then squirt some glue in there, the whole job took me no more than 15 minutes and was ready for use an hour later.

Which way is your head positioned? Is the driver wheel to your left or right?

Yeah if you have baby hands

I need to do this to get at the T-fittings on the coolant pipes to the engine that I just found out have a life of 150 thousand miles or less and mine are now leaking. There ain't much room to get your big hands in there to change the fittings , so this will help.

can you explain how you put the eat down? I have the exact same rear seat design. there are no videos on TH-cam showing how to put it down, nor can I find any information online on how to do it properly. It would be very convenient If you gave an example. It's been a month, and at this point, I'm willing to Rip them out and damage my interior

Mine is doing the same thing and it’s so annoying. I have to pry up to pop it free every time I use the jack. I’ll have to try this.

Excellent vid! I'll be doing this next week. The procedure may be a bit different for my 2005 Sienna, but most of it should overlap. You gave enough info and visuals for me to figure out the idiosyncrasies with the 05' vs the 00'. 👍💯

Did you have to take the cam pulleys off to get the metal rear cover off ? The metal rear cover blocks my water pump from coming off and I noticed that you removed it in the video and didn’t show how you took it off It’s visible in the video at 11:17 behind the idler pully And it’s gone when you go to take the pump off at 12:32

This was helpful

I’m shopping for another car to replace my 2000 Buick Park Avenue that I love because it is so quiet but the driver’s side door won’t open from inside or outside. My mechanic has fixed it, I don’t know how, it quit opening, he fixed it again, it quit opening. One of his customers was selling his 2014 Lexus es 350. I drove it, LOVED it but mileage was too high. So I’m shopping for a used Lexus. I noticed you said, “ Honda's have horrible door and Ignition locks. They use poor quality wafers in the locks that wear out and the key stops working.”. I considered looking at Acura’s. My question, do you think an Acura is as well made as a Lexus? Since Honda has the lock and door problems? Thank you for your advice!

Great video!!!!! Easy to follow, Thanks

You’d think they’d do better in terms of bundling cables and having larger connector junctions so there aren’t so many things to disconnect. This alone could take 30 minutes to an hour. Then again, I suppose it will end up saving hours of work later trying to contort your arms and hands.

thank you for a very good video. easy to follow

Thank you for this clear and well-explained video! I just changed the spark plugs on my 2000 Toyota Sienna, and your video gave me the confidence to do the job, thank you!
