Faye's bubbly personality is why we're here. The car stuff is just a bonus. :)

[@aaronshall9258]

Right!:)

[@dudley7540]

She is a fun date!

[@jimpoteet1]

ok, we redrilled (different holes) a bmw crank holding tool for toyota V6 love your videos... you have great delivery and a wonderful sense of humor... hollywood needs your face...

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I love it when a plan comes together!

[@jameshutchins3396]

Yes support local machine shops! Stud or broken bolt removal, jig building, you name it. Even welding Love your videos! If I lived a bit closer I would hire you for your services in a heartbeat Keep up the great work beautiful!

217 ft lbs with No Cheater Bar!? Beasttt! 👍🏻

[@FayeHadley]

HAHAHA my cheater bar doesn't fit over the torque wrench!!! and hey! I work out!!!

[@JonnyDIY]

@@FayeHadley lol....I always just use my floor jack handle. Especially when removing one that had threadlocker on it

[@Texaca]

I use a large 6' plumbing pipe, it fits over any handle, it's one piece. my cheapo 2.5 ton jack from Wally world, has a 2 piece handle, I don't trust it to do the job. It's made of "Chineseisum", as AvE says.

[@robertcompton7626]

Love watching anybody enjoying what they do. This field can make you crazy. Can spend way to much money on tools you use once. Great insight.

[@abarragan2973]

I really appreciate how good your production is compared to your earlier videos.

[@bschema]

I like how you think outside the box to do your shop repair. For me as a certified RV technician I get jobs that require thinking outside the box for ideas to do some repairs. For I got some hand made tools to do special jobs over the years both in RV service and my own auto service work at home. Keep up the great service work!!

[@Ls2Finch]

This is what KZbin used to be. Entertaining and educational videos made by awesome people

[@je19662008]

Beautiful, smart, inventive, and bubbly! If I were only 20...ok, 30 years younger.

[@johntotten4872]

You had me at Home Depot Motorsports, great video Faye. Nothing at all wrong with making your own tools to save some cash.

[@misterphuzz]

I know this video is old, but I just wanted to comment that this video was awesome because it validated the same idea that I came up with on my own. Glad somebody else thinks the same way I do!

[@kenzo-bp2ze]

D'most happiest auto mechanic in the world!

[@Mikey-Likes-I.T]

great video! and Also thanks for the audio reduction... I seriously think that you are the ONLY youtuber that has done this.... nothing will blast out your speakers and eardrums out better than the sound of a power tool doing its thing. Keep up the good work!

[@mindlesswanderingoutdoors9286]

I stumbled upon your channel like a month ago by accident. I was watching some other automotive stuff and fell asleep for a couple hours and woke up and one of your videos were on. I watched one and subscribed. You are awesome. Cute, funny, and you know your stuff. Keep up the good content girl.😁👍

[@suzyjohnson4667]

You're cool Faye! This is American ingenuity at its best! Keep up the good work!!

[@Silent-Lucidity]

Nice job! Creative! It's so nice to watch someone having a blast and laughing. Cheers from Chicago!

[@kodessa]

Chicken cameo 😍. I cannot get enough of that bundle of joy.

[@FayeHadley]

Me neither!! :))

[@dannydyer9961]

The quality of your videos is so good. I love watching them. I really hope you get some generous sponsors soon. Toyota and Snapon would be a good start. Keep it up

[@hoonyfan2924]

So, I did something similar. As a welder who didn’t want to go buy a tool I’d use maybe a handful of times, I welded some bolts on a hook shaped piece I had laying around and a shaft. It worked great.

[@FayeHadley]

NIIICE!!!! I wanted to make a 3rd tool - the welded version, but I am a pretty bad welder.... I mean, it may work, but it doesn't look pretty :)

[@scflooring8658]

Faye I just can’t get enough of you!! You make my day!!

[@talltom1129]

After 30 yrs of wrenching, my toolbox has a whole lot of shop-made tools,that did the job at a much lower cost

[@aaronshall9258]

My father owned a shop, and I started working there at a really young age. I took in as much information as I could about his tools and what there were used for:) really odd stuff:) When he passed away a little over 20 years ago I inherited his wonderful collection of tools. I still have a few things I have no clue what there for or why they were made!:)

[@talltom1129]

I had old men showing me how to fix forklifts built before they were born. The factory didn't supply special tools, so we had to make them. Now I'm teaching myself how to fix old Kawasaki motorcycles, and those factory tools are also nonexistent! So,I make what I need!

[@heavymechanic2]

Anyone who has done a variety of repair work has learned how to modify wrenches and build gadgets to get the work done. I remember building a hub wrench for a farm tractor on something that resembled a monster truck, it was like 4-5/8 hex about 5-inches deep. These young people are taught to buy everything to support the marketplace, one of the secrets of public education funded by the government.

[@f.j.a.2396]

Faye, you are AWESOME! I've recently started watching your videos. I'm enjoying them.

[@Wayne_Nero]

You have the best laugh!, I can't help but smile watching your videos... Great channel 👍🇨🇦

[@omar_padilla]

Hey your ride is sounding nice, and good work on your homemade tool there's nothing like the feeling you get when something you create works how it's supposed . Can't wait for the next vid!

[@TheKnightDrag0n]

I wish this knowledge was available like 2 years ago when I try to change the timing belt of my 98 pathfinder by myself, such a nightmare to remove and then torque the bolt. 💖

[@57REDROOSTER]

I make all my special tools here too... But I also have all the tools needed to do it... I've had many years to acquire them it didn't happen over nite... Love the bubbly attitude you have... Silky at the end? Beautiful chicken anyway Thank you for the smiles you gave me

[@Carlitosway211]

You can sharpen your bits between each cut on a bench grinder. Took me a few times to get it down, but man, what a diff! Fresh cut with some drilling lube and they just keep drilling! The bits get shorter with time, for obvious reasons but they keep making holes! Nice tool you made! I have a ton of custom tools I've made over the years. Little ingenuity goes a long way!

[@donaldm9689]

Hey so.. you're awesome ?! You're series made my timing job much more comfortable. Also I made this tool and it worked perfectly !

[@FayeHadley]

I'm so glad!!! :)

[@bryancarrion5569]

Now that’s Innovation that excites

[@tonybelisle423]

Love your work girl you are awesome you and the ladies at all girl garage showed my daughter girls can do it to because I been a mechanic 25yrs now and tried to tell her girls can do anything men can thanks for the help plus with all do respect you are beautiful

[@MondayKeith]

I installed Underdrive Pulleys on my '96 Mustang GT; 4.6L. I used the old fan belt. I cut it in half; wrapped it around the pulley - counter to the force I was/am/is/will be applied. I held it in place with small pieces and strips of Gorilla Tape. I did not want to mess about with the belt moving about; slipping and/or falling off. On the Crank Pulley, I made 150 ft/lbs, and on my Water Pump Pulley, I made 20 foot pounds... I had absolutely no issues with the taped belt (old cut one). I do not think one needs to go to the store whatsoever... Pretty much every Car "Guy" (you too Faye) is doing their build(s) on a tight budget. This one costs at most a roll of Gorilla Tape. It's easy, smart, and the cheapest tool I've had to buy to date with my build. Cheers Faye. Like the video...

[@mikesauve9381]

The easiest way to get those crank bolts out was to make sure of the direction of rotation then put a socket on a breaker bar then turn the crank in the same direction till the bar touches the frame. Then you go inside and crank the engine for a second. The starter will break it loose every time. We did it all the time at the dealer

[@blacksheep6941]

Won't you still need a crank pulley holding tool to tighten the pulley for the reinstall?

[@jamiestuart6613]

Nice job Faye!!! I made the same tool, works like a champ! Can’t wait to see more.

[@robinhiggins2090]

Been missing seeing you doing a video love your videos thanks so much for taking the time to make them for us your awesome

[@rigjockey67]

knowledge and a smile ... the 2 best things to have

[@booneautomotive4174]

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the spot on All Girls Garage

[@brakedd]

making custom tools is half the fun of the job! bonus points if you can repurpose old parts - my favorite oil filter wrench when nothing else will do is made of a 1/2" extension with a small block Ford timing chain welded to it. It's called the mangler. custom tools FTW!

[@CaptureYouVideo]

Sometimes, I have NO IDEA why you are laughing, but you sure make me smile regardless... That's cool.. Awesome chick!

[@deraculandrac917]

If it's cheaper & easier to make a tool just do it! Great work Faye! :)

[@nickhoffman1743]

What bolts did you use? Like size and thread pitch?

[@markjohn5988]

Lets be honest who wishes their local garage had a faye? Such a cheery bubbly person the garage would be the happiest

[@lorenzotorres6783]

I think Im in love. Lol glad I found your channel Faye

[@markreynolds3850]

I made myself my own tool out of flat stock steel with grade eight hardware. . Works great on my 2003 Toyota Tundra . I used Rock auto for timing set..

[@wesleycook6921]

Sometimes you have to get creative You made a great alternative to spending big bucks on a special tool that you won’t use that often. Great job

[@jasonharrison25]

I made one of those with two flat bars that where maybe 1" wide or so. Joined two ends together with a bolt to make a V shape. Then on the other side I put the bolts in for holding the pully. This design allowed it to fit different sized pullies by spreading them apart and didn't require any large holes drilled

[@Texaca]

@Jason Harrison --- I'd like to see a picture of that "Rube Goldberg" device 👌

[@jasonharrison25]

@@Texaca unfortunately I left it in a wearhouse a few years ago. Its not really complicated. Basically like a large pair of scissors without handles and pins or bolts on the ends.

[@legitimateballer1236]

What are the thread length/size for the bolt?

[@Derekbitt1]

I just impressed you threw down on that 217ftlbs setting

[@LuisRamirez-ln3cj]

[@woohunter1]

I remember doing a timing belt on an older Honda Civic, didn't have a chain strap wrench, so I jacked car up, put a jack stand with a thick piece of rubber in between the stand cradle and crank pulley lowered most of the weight of the front of the car on stand, them proceeded to take the big bolt out. Sometimes you have to improvise to save some money.

[@Oxindole]

Love this. I made basically the same tool when I did my MR2 timing belt. Unfortunately the step drill bit I used was too small and had to manually remove enough material so I could get the socket through

[@woodyglendell7400]

Excellent work there! Oh and nice job too Fur Chicken.

[@robertbonner5973]

That tool was a great idea . Congratulations on being successful with that idea and the job . Also , your 4 runner is coming along great!

Very clever:) love your mind and your demeanor:) your an inspiration to so many people out there!

[@John-1984]

Most of the time, the homemade tool works better than the commercial tool anyway.

[@JT-ov2yr]

Funny, I did the same thing back in the early 1980s, used a 1/8" flat steel scrap I had lying around, and still have it today, except it now has multiple holding bolt holes drilled around the center crankshaft bolt access hole for different manufactures harmonic balancers that I have come across, then later I have had to drill out both ends to accommodate even more varieties harmonic balancers that I have come across over the years. I have made dozens of specialty tools over the years as you will too over time, nice addition to your collection. Great job by the way. (¼" was overkill IMO) Also, that looks roughly like a 1977 4 door VW Rabbit that you are driving there, is it? Great car, I had two of them over the years, still have one and retired the other at +550,000 miles on it, the floorboards 100% rusted out on it, when I would drive through a puddle, it flood the inside of the car, it was that bad.

[@georgedominguez7633]

Awesome!!! Best tools are homemade! Might want to upgrade to grade 8 socket bolts and black oxide nuts for repeated use. But great job!!

[@philipcable7518]

Loving the tool making vid!!

[@RM.....]

Wayyy too cool :). Great job

[@TargaWheels]

One-off special tools always beats store-bought tools. They're in a totally different league.

[@Fruit_Infiniti]

Oooh I wish I had one of these tools! Crank bolt on the Hyundai Accent is a pain to crack off, used a pipe wrench and ended up with a broken harmonic balancer :(

[@FayeHadley]

Oh NOOOOOOOOO 😭

Good job Faye . very creative.

[@chrisorcutt1825]

Girl you are amazing that was amazing thinking right there

[@marcgolbois1021]

Congrats on all girls garage!!!

[@kyleb3293]

To remove crank dampers I just get a long breaker bar and rest it against the ground, then I bump the starter. So far it's worked every time. For reinstall, I'll use an impact but if there's no room for one than it's the flywheel holding tool or whatever means I can come up with - like this perhaps.

[@laohantun7404]

Good job Faye.....special tools....

[@adamtrombino106]

Nice solution. I'm glad you figured it out. I have the 'correct' tool, but made a rig like yours and it's just plain easier to use. Far less of a chance of the rig slipping than the 'correct' tool, IMO.

[@inertiaforce7846]

This is the hottest mechanic I've ever seen and I need an oil change

[@JohnSmith-ry8qj]

Thanks Everytime I have to take the crankshaft pulley bolt out I need a impact and the only one I have is air powered so it becomes a big ordeal to have to bring a compressor, my father has made tools in the past to do jobs of tools he either could not get or couldn't afford to spend money on. I think you make great videos and I still use some of his makeshift tools I don't have a rechargable impact that one tool you made would save me from packing a 100 pound compressor, gun, hose and extension cord but I suppose it's only going to fit similar pulley's and you would have to make different ones for different engines.

[@modifiedG54B]

Take that tool back to the machine shop and have them slot the bolt holes so you can use that tool on more than just that vehicle. Just an idea
