still haven't found the one piece "lever" for this parking break install !! crazy rear find? Has anyone found it online?

very usefull nformations. i have a 2012 mercedes benz ml 350 how can i check the ATF oil level? what are the difference ways to put ATF oil in the transmisssion? is there an area to put a dipstick to check the ATF oil level? like we check the engine oil level.

I believe the Type E coupler is much simpler with a vertical operating pin to lock the knuckle in place. The E, F, shelf, and tight-lock(for passenger cars) all need to be able to couple together and work together.

Awesome!

Love it!

Love your videos!

so did u use all 10L?

I’m helping out a friend with his town car and I’m replacing the AC compressor for him but I noticed the cooling fan fuse was blown so on these cars is the cooling fan wired in series with the compressor or is it just a cooling fan alone?

Great video. Very useful. I have an S1 but it’s the same principle. Good angles in filming too. So I could actually see what you were doing. Thank you.

Great video. Can you talk about your scan tool? I'd like to kit myself with it. Really effective

Hey. I have a question. My brake paddel stays lower than it should be. I've looked into the master cylinder and the brake oil. What do you suggest ?

thank you so much for video taping all this in detail

I swear I never comment on videos, but this is A1. Thank you for this!

How did you drain the compressor oil? Is there a port on the bottom of the compressor?

Going through this right now. What did you torque the compressor mounting bolts to the engine to? Same for the hose to compressor torque please. Thank you kindly.

Nice job. In the end, was it cost effective to repair instead of buying a new one?

I wonder if Pag 46 isn't exactly the same as the official pump oil, because the stuff recommended for my vacuum pump is "46 viscosity vacuum pump oil" and it feels like PAG 46. But if I were to use PAG oil in the pump I would use the clear stuff, because the way you know it needs to be replaced is that it BEGINS to be cloudy. The stuff's cheap and easy to replace, so it's a disgrace the condition they let your machine get to!

Has anyone ever managed to get the ebrake adjusted good enough to effectively stop the truck?

Great vid, I think I have a similar problem, low side pressure is 80, and my high side is 120. Does sound like a compressor control? When I bring up rpm I don't really get a change in pressure. Static pressure sat around 90 psi both sides. Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks

Hey John I'm restoring a 1961 Bentley continental which is pretty much the same as this however in my car as soon as the car is put into gear the servo moves and fully pulls the brake cylinders as if the brake is fully applied was hoping you would have an idea why this happens.

Is the gaskit that was on old intake manifold reused in combination with the new intake manifold? Or was the old one thrown out and just the ones on the new intake manifold used?

Excellent video, very detailed.

Don't use RED thread locker! The next guy is going to have trouble getting them apart again. Blue Loctite is correct. I am in the process of doing this job myself. Also, no need to mess with the spring. The actuator arm will come through the back. Also, up here in the rust belt, nothing is that clean on a 20 year old truck.

Links to the parts and adapters used would be great

How do I get rodeo mode

Thanks mate, 2011 ML350 and I have the same issue.

Howd you drain the oil through the bottle?

What’s to sense getting that bearing press kit if your gonna use the press?

Hi John, do you have any videos on removing the lugs on the tires ? Just bought a 1960 Bentley S2 and heard the lugs are right and left handed. I’m afraid to damage something 😄 thanks for any info I’ve learned many things just watching your videos. 👍🏻

What if I dont have all of that to hook up to tell me what it is? I need help. It's so hot and I dont know what to do

Exactly what I needed, well done, Thank You.

thanks ! this piping diagram might help me, for some reason my oil injection no work well maybe you have any hints

I kinda cheated. Instead of pulling the entire dash out. I located where that actuator was at the top of the dash and cut a big hole through the metal where its at. Similar to what people do with Trucks/cars for their fuel tank *trap door*. Since they break a lot. This makes it where i just have to take the top dash part off.

I have a machine that recovers 300g,but inside of a sistem is 550g. What i need to check to get most of refrigerant recovered?

I wonder if the process would be easier if there was a port at the very bottom of the system and fill it from the bottom up as you would do your stern drive with oil on your boat.

Hi, it seem's like I have similar problem in my W164, but with some differences. On mine, air conditioning work proper on lowest set of temperature only. When I'm trying to increase the temperature a bit, the evaporator temperature is going down into -2 degrees and then AC is going to turned into a heater. Evaporator temperature is going up to the outside temperature and there is no more cold air flow. I tkinh that my solenoid valve is stucked open and not control the "power" of AC compressor. Do you know if there is a need to suck the gas from the system before I dismantle this solenoid valve? Thank you in advance for help

Are you kidding me !

I need your help for something plz are you available

Did this fix last weekend and this video made it very easy, I did it in a 94 before and in my opinion, the 97 was "easier" to get the dash off, due largely to this video, also it was nice to feel my AC was cold

I have 2 sets of ac gauges and the high side quick couplers don't fit the high side port of my 2010 ML350. Can you please tell me why and where can I get a coupler that fits? Thank you so much.

Thank you John for the most informative and explanatory video on how to wrestle successfuly with these parking brake assemblies. Attention to the tiny, but important details left really no questions in my mind. This information will really help me when I take on this project!

Aint that from not serviceing it at proper intervals ? The filters need to be changed , someone skipped that too long , thatd flourescent die from recovered ac systems aint it ?

How much torque do you use to tighten the accumulator to the evaporator? Mine keeps leaking from there … idk if I’m over tightening it or what

Hi John, did you manage to find my email address? You'll find it in the about section of my email.

Hello. Can you tell me what parts i need to buy to perform this operation? Especially what connectors i need to byu.

Hi, my email should be in the about section of my channel.
