I have a 2008 yukon denali xl and cut an access panel up above my fuel ump to replace the fuel pump. But the quick connects got stuck to the fuel pump fittings. Will I be able to replace those lines without dropping the tank?@@whatsnextgarage
Wy not only cut 3 sides of the rectangle and bend ope the door? Then when you are done bend it back then use sound deadening material to tape it back down. thencover it with the carpet, mission acomplished
I didn’t think to do that. I’m not sure why I didn’t🤔. Hopefully I don’t have to do another one but if I do I’ll give that a shot. Have a great weekend!
@@whatsnextgarage I have to replace air tubing and wires through energy chains on flatbed printers the chain cove has many pieces that unsnap. It’s a long job and the pieces can break. I started doing what I suggested and it cut the time in half so it’s obvious.now. You made it happen anyway. Good job
@@whatsnextgarage You can't fight it. They were designed for mass production not for long life. In printing technology they have improved them a lot by making them bigger. When everything is too tight in there cables or hoses move, then can't move back so they create a loop, then a "kink" and damage happens. Its better if they can move, then they move back and forth. You still need to ankor them down at each end of the chain though..... I worked on a production line in Mexicali that started with a printer at the beginning that had a bunch of robot arms that built the covers for the arms of the da vinci sugrical robots.... Totally looked like the terminator factory. Each arm was close to my size. I work on printers that print up to 17 foot media, but the main machines print 4' x 8' flatbed material so they have a chain that moves the 4' length and one that runs the 8' length. The longer one is the one that has issues because it travels the 8 feet fast many times during the minute and a half it takes to print 4' x 8'. The 4' direction only moves an inch at a time or so.
the large printer, I just opened it up and changed 3 20 foot hoses that are the size of aquarium tubing and while I was at it, I replaced the coolant lines that "chill" the 2 LED bulbs that cure the ink. (UV printer) Holy shit, that was a full day job. The Chain on that is about 10 inches wide. The coolant lines carry antifreeze through the chain and back to a powersupply/chiller. By the way when I was testing the chiller I shot antifreeze almost in my face and basically covered myself in it because I removed the wrong hose....lol Luckily it was my last day on that trip and had my suitcase in the car so yeah, changed clothes..HAHA Nobodys perfect. Except that customer who breaks his machine and insists hes never made a mistake that could have caused it. :)
Great job 👍
Thank you!! Have a great new week!

why not hook the new line to the old one and pull them through that way?

@@fastj1962 thanks!! I hate those energy chains. We have a bunch of robots where I work and they’re always coming apart.

Did this vehicle have two tanks? One above the spare tire?
No only the single tank in front of the tire
When you pulled your socks off and used them to soak up gasoline, is the moment I knew you were a pro 🤣
