I wish you could zoom in. It kinda hard to see whats happening exactly

[@worklab415]

Am going to be honest, I'm surprised you release this video with so many errors, I mean that hose? High pressure? And you have it sitting on the bucket with no support.

[@TunerwithKids]

Yea trial and error. Most people I see online just dump it on the ground.

[@mangoop2397]

Hey binh when you say drill out the hole bigger on the expansion valve. Do you just drill out the side walls of the hole and not touch the tiny little pin or do you drill out the pin inside the tiny hole also. Also what size drill bit do you drill it out into if you dont mind me asking.

[@TunerwithKids]

Remove the hex bolt at bottom and take the bearing and spring out. Drill through from that end. Use anything bigger that the existing opening.

[@mangoop2397]

@@TunerwithKids after drilling out the expansion valve. are you supposed to leave the ball and spring out to flush the system, or do you put them back in before you flush.

[@TunerwithKids]

Leave it out but out the heat bolt back.

[@AlphaDetoxMedia]

I saw the mess coming before it happened. How hard is that crwp to clean up?

[@TunerwithKids]

Easy, it all went to ground. Should have clamped the hose to the bucket. It’s solvent based so wipe and it evaporates.
