Thanks! However, tge whole plug/connector was melted together. Gave ne a good fight.

Is there no need to center the rack before installing how they say to do with the hydraulic racks?

That is awesome! Just ordered one. Getting that conventional fitting into a cramped u joint is awful. Hope it works..thank you sir!!

So first I wanna say thank you for this video because I could actually see what you were doing and I can change my blades by myself now. It looks like the short blade is in front of the driver and the longer blade is in front of the passenger, is this correct? If anyone can answer this question I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance to whoever answers this.

love it. hope to see more astro stuff from you

These cars... the design was somewhat admirable, you wouldn't BELIEVE the crap I could cram into the back of mine: entire kitchen base cabinets, 5.5x3 windows, 110 sq ft of bundles of oak flooring; I SLEPT comfortably in the back of mine on several trips between my home and my kids' homes 1000+ miles away in places like rural Utah, Idaho and Oregon where there were literally NO HOTELS. When I went to buy the said window off Facebook Marketplace the seller told me some story about stuffing a 8-point buck into the back of one on a hunting trip w/her grandpa in 2010. But, sadly, they're Chevy's. So the under-the-hood elements and everything else about them are literal CRAP. And the gas mileage is laughable for the size they are. Too bad, so sad.

Oh HELL NO you did NOT just pull that outer tie rod like that. Im fuckin dead inside rn. The amount of time if put into getting mine out is stupid. That had me shook.

This is next i think after watching your videos. i removed the oil pan, installed a new one, and im waiting for my 24 hours for the gasket to dry. While doing this work i saw some suspect liquid im thinking might be tranny fluids. Pause. Lol . I wiped everything down and will be checking it tomorow. If it is the tranny pan is next. Yeeeee and thank you for your videos! 😅😅😅

Thank you for you help i got mines taken off and installed a new one today !!!! GREAT TUTORIAL!!!!!!

Thank you so much for your help i just did mines!!!!!!

Thanks! But it's kinda messed up you didn't give your fuel system new fuel to consume.

thank you

I wonder why my light bulb works, but the blinker and brake light don't work. The runner lights work. Hmmm.

Just did this on a 2002 Astro. 13mm for bolts through the starter housing. Breaker bar, short wobble extension. Was able to wiggle starter fully loose but hold off on that til you have the following handy: 13mm and 8mm for the nuts on the electrical posts. I recommend a penetrating oil, 13mm box wrench, and 8mm deep socket. Wiggle starter out and around and 13mm box wrench to break, then finger loosen. Then the 8mm can zip off quickly with a deep socket.

Could have covered this in a 15 second video. 25 foot back, knee hight adjustment, use screw driver here.

I don't think you actually got that kickback guard on.

Exactly how did you free up the stuck valves

I had to take a flat head to help unplug the plug. lol. Lot of dirt and grime

This saved me from a 3 month long mystery, I got 3 brand new motorcraft tfis and they were either doa or my car just kept burning them up. Finally found a good one (i was battling other issues too, so i didnt think to go back to the tfi again) then i saw this. My car runs again. Thank you so much

Thank you so much me and my sister we’re struggling

Much easier to just take the panel off

Thanks for taking the time to make and post the video. I have the exact same compressor but the belt broke. I need to take off the connecting rod to the piston to replace it. The replacement screw that hold the piston on (at the 15 minute mark on your video) is proving hard to take out. I tried a T45 torx but It is too loose and will strip the head. A T50 was too big and wouldnt fit in the head, What size did you use?

Thank you!!

So why is it happening in the first place?

Hello in 2024. I also am in Arizona, Apache county to be exact. Yes wind and dirt/dust are a real problem especially when the obligatory dust devil comes ripping through and they always do, almost lost the hood on the 87 that I am doing the wheel cylinder on while changing the spark plugs. That rear spark plug on the 351 driver side rear is a real treat to get done, I have found that it is done blind by feel. Thanks for the video and I wanted to say that once the brake line is loose and exposed wrap a piece of cloth over the end and hold it on with a rubber band or hair tie to keep all the nasty stuff out. Thanks for the video, I have not done one of these in 21 years and needed to be refreshed concerning the ins and outs of the job. Wish it went as fast as your video, lol. Take care ✌️

In your videos you tend to start out zoomed in to a small part of the car and miss showing where that is in relation to the whole car. Other than that, thanks for all the educational material I can use to keep my HHR alive.

Very helpful. Thanks .

I'll be attempting this Saturday, lords will. Great video, thank you. I'm so glad I found this. God bless!

Goodyear Goodyear job bye

No the fucking spring doesn’t just go in. 2hrs now trying to get the spring in

Thank you for the video. It helped me get my mom's key out. Again, thank you for sharing she's a senior and was worried .😊

gracias por tu video. Hoy fue la primera vez que mi 2003 Element hizo esto, afortunadamente estaba en casa, lo deje y me puse a buscar en you tube, vi este video, fui y golpie el dash varias veces hasta que el click se apago y luego arrancó, aún rengo que trabajar para arreglarlo pero gracias a ti se que es.

Hi

Is it the same procedure for a 2004 astro?

Hi, i have loose the whole part where the ingnition is located. Its moving slightly when i'm turning left or right turn signal, it moves also when i'm moving my key in ignition. I thought its easy fix and only pkastic needs to be fixed, but it's whole part.

Where did you buy your service manual?

Mr. Steve , you went after a suspension clunk on your HHR in 3 videos. I have the same on my HHR after replacing all Suspension items, struts and Steering rack after about 35,000 miles additional miles. Unfortunately I used lesser quality parts from Detroit Axle….which I will never do again. Did you ever find the clunk? I’ve got 330,000 miles on my HHR.

Thank you for the video, I have a 79 ford f100 with a 302 engine and a edelbrock carb. Replaced the fuel sending unit, and the fuel pump. Thought that would make it run, but it's doing the same as yours. Start while it's got gas poured into the carb then quit. I don't know if I put the pump in with the shaft in the wrong position? But that's what I have going on. Plus I'm NOT a mechanic or anything like one ! Lol I guess I will pull the new pump and bump the starter to see if it's in the right position? I thought well I can figure out the old school vehicles? But I think I need help! Lol thanks again friend.

Does anyone know what the name or part number is to that? I have the same issue on my 2010 chevy hhr. Does it work for all models?

Great Information, Such a well done Video! Thank You!

Thanks for the Post how much did you reses the windows in? Could you just leave flush to brick? is there a reason why you recessed?

Thanks

most unhelpful… cant compress caliper enough.

Wow... 333,769 miles on it and that was 5 yrs ago. What's on the clock now? Have you ever done a timing belt job on this 2.2L?

What if the door will not open to fix the door handle

I own a 2010 Chevy HHR. This explanation was GOLD. This video may be one of the best in KZbin history. EXCELLENT!!! A++.

It worked, thank you!

Thanks! This was my grandpas car model. He passed about a year ago and so now it's my car, but the battery is dead. I got it out in under a minute!
