I remember some guy named Cecil doing mechanical work……. I wondered what he’s been doing to keep busy. Probably just laying ‘round the shack ‘til the mail train gets back……. LOL Cheers! Whipple

Great video Cecil and Heather. The control arm replacement went pretty easy compared to the Chevy Cobalt and Pontiac G5 which i replaced the control arm on (G5). Had to cut the bolt out and cut through the rubber bushing and sleeve to free it up. The bolt goes through the chassis into a captivated nut which of course is seized solid and all spins. Great job Cecil. Cheers, Jeff.

Hello Jeff, Yes I got lucky with this little car...I also go around this car with an oil can and oil every bolt and not I can find, the ones in the frame I remove and add Never seize for future repairs. That sucks when the bushing seizes to the bolts. Cheers!

as a retired fleet mechanic(FEDEX) glad to see people besides myself still using permatex anti-seize as a fleet mechanic we used that all the time but most of our vehicles are Fords with exposed front bolt & nut the one I'm working on the nut I'm assuming is spot welded inside the cross member & hidden the bolt is free spinning guessing the nut broke loose any advice on it? other than using my cutting torch on the cross member to expose it.

What about the driver's side where the transmission pan appears to be an obstacle?

Is that an ingersol, or a Mac impact. I have one on each and love them for about 20 years now

Hello Tim, It's sold under the Mastercraft name..but I think Ingersol makes them. Thanks again. Cheers!

@@cecilsshadetreegarage7408 I noticed the frame on it and thought that looks like an ingersol and I think they built them for Mac tools also. I also forgot how old I am, I bought my Mac impact in 1988 and it’s still going strong. I realized in 1991 I made more holding the wheel than I did riding the creeper

@xjstwr Жыл бұрын
Yes, and if you used jack stands, then you can use the jack under the wheel to put it in the weighted position without lowering the car down. Thus making it much easier to tighten that bolt.

@@cecilsshadetreegarage7408that's an asshole response... You know there is a such thing as knowing exactly how to do something, but simply wanting to double check the tools needed... Example, I did my entire suspension on a Caliber a few years back. I had to stop with my car jacked up to run to the store for sockets, I needed 2 18 mm, but both of mine were deep socket so 1 couldn't reach the bolt... Another example is the driver side of THE EXACT FUCKING CAR YOUR WORKING ON. Imagine jacking your car up and taking out the first 2 bolts, just to get stuck at the transmission pan bolt... Let's not act like most of these cars aren't put together ignoring the need for future work. Let's not act like you were born knowing how to do this shit. And finally, so you know, the only reason you have fucking views is because of the people that don't know how to do this shit 🤦🏽♂️
