Quickest way to remove and install hood springs.

Quick and easy way to install or remove hood springs

[@danielbrealey2924]

That was a great tip- and I'm a qualified mechanic of 19 years. Never thought to do it that way. On ya Lucky... Cheers from Down Under

[@ichbineinegluhbirne4141]

Amazing trick!!! I used rubber bungee chords because I didn't have a spare belt, but it still worked just fine...

[@luckysgarageshow]

Glad it helped!

[@ml.2770]

Spring: I will never amount to anything. Lucky: I'm gonna make this guy's whole career.

[@Joesmusclecargarage]

Springs are inanimate objects and do not have speech capabilities.

Sweet ride. I have a 1964 4 door wagon. I put a 2004 LS1 4L60E in it for my wife😜. Get more attention than Camaros and Mustangs and very practical. Good luck with the 2 door. Erik

[@richardrichard4394]

Tried it today worked awesome mostly with my 30 year old pulling on it have used chain in the past this is much better rubber gives you traction Thanks Lucky

[@steveveness3829]

G'day from West Australia, yep an oldie but definitely a goodie. The visual and audio delivery is much better than mine though,love it😉🙂👍👍

[@deatheragefarms]

Damn Lucky, that one's useful. Nice work!

[@dcrane62]

Thanks Lucky,...I have a couple springs I need to remove and this makes it look pretty simple

[@transam4555]

Boom chacalaka!!! That was quick and to the point thanks for the tech tip homeboy

[@natey881]

I’ve always done it with a sturdy screwdriver, thanks for sharing this belt trick.

[@rayjon237]

Needs a 65 front clip... .. love the 2 door wagons... now throw a l76 and a 6l80 in it...

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

Masterful demonstration. Useful Protip. Method to get them annoying garter straps off too.

[@ricgross5815]

OH YEAH, less than 5 minutes to do mine! You ROCK Lucky

[@michaeljohnson404]

Lucky goes beast mode on some punk ass springs. Your the man lucky, hope John didn’t get hit with any manhood flying off you.

[@snake_eyes_garage]

Nice. This should also work for the annoying brake pedal springs used on older trucks. 👍

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

This thing is Rad. Great find Lucky. Cant wait to see the build on this machine. Cheers

[@brianantoni1761]

love the shit that happens at Lucky’s garage ,looking forward to this build 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@chicagovasko]

Lucky thatnks for always showing us short cuts and showing bad ass cars.

[@dixie_bill]

genius. wish id seen this trick years ago

[@the_langss]

Thanks for the Video. That was great....You made it look so easy. Great Tip.

[@mcmc8496]

That is Jam up and Jelly tight! To borrow a phrase from my 8 year old...

[@davidjames2788]

That is a good tip. I'd probably end up punching myself in the teeth with channel locks. But now I know better.

[@gadsdonflag4289]

Super idea.....thanks!!!

[@MultiDriverman]

Looking forward to seeing more of this project!

[@hpower8311]

why didnt I ever think of that?! good one!

[@larrymorgan2635]

I used wedges instead of the washers, but I like this much more.

[@j.r.m.yr.s.l.e5293]

Hey Lucky, heard about the 6.4 quake the other day, hope all is well with you, Thoughts from NZ

[@luckysgarageshow]

David Dundas All good. Thanks

[@Timrsnakess]

I also have used the male end of a seatbelt, works the same

[@user-kf8qc7cx4n]

That’s a good one. Thanks Lucky

[@bennyfactor]

Legit tech tip!

[@MrDhess68]

Now that's cool! I'll remember that.

[@jeromefreer1258]

It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye. Great tip . Peace

[@BOOT]

Simple and works!

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Would be cool to get a wrecked camaro and take the full interior and drive train and install in the wagon. I'm sure some stuff will need modified but this would show everyone that they can make this work

[@all6t7]

Cool tip, thanks.

[@frederickdominguez4829]

Hey man awesome tech tip. And thank you for not saying hack. I'm sick of the woke crap. See ya lucky !!

Very impressive indeed.

[@gasratzcustoms]

Too easy!!!! Badass 👍

[@notj5712]

Ok, here's one for a tech tip. How do you remove a spring from a door hinge. I'm thinking specifically of a 65 mustang, but many are the same.

[@stevenvanheel3932]

Not J cutting torch

[@notj5712]

@@stevenvanheel3932 great, but how do you get it back in?

[@stevenvanheel3932]

Not J the opposite of a cutting torch- a welder

[@stevenvanheel3932]

Not J I’m just kidding, don’t take my advice and wreck your car lol.

[@frankm8533]

Damn nice little trick😎👊

[@mikepoint4983]

Boom shock A lakka . Great tip

[@kennypinkerton5818]

My 56 plymouth hood springs are vertical, and between the hinge bars (one bar outside, one bar inside. Recommendations?

[@threesquared6720]

What, no zip tie tips?

[@ulis_garage]

Kewl! Thanks Lucky!!

[@wills705]

Cool 😎

[@jerryclaypool2791]

That is way better than having a pair of vice-grips lamped to the spring and pulling as hard as you can while your helper hold the hood up as far as he can. The vice-grips slip off and you elbow your helper in the eye and you both fall off the car. Just sayin'...

[@ericfaley9019]

Nice tip

[@moparedtn]

Dang, Lucky gets all 'roided up in a hurry when he does strenuous stuff, eh? :-)

[@VideosByAl]

Nifty !

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Winner winner chicken dinner ! and no mangled paint !

[@colescrustycars]

Lucky, go grab one of your 1in ratchet straps. Just the long side. Dont even need the ratchet. Get whatever length you want, wrap it around your hand and use the hook same way your using the belt. Little more adjustable that way.

[@912ruckus2]

Using a brake spring tool worked far easier with new springs

[@jason-ge5nr]

'i think i pulled a muscle' oh please, you're tough.

[@lurch2332]

Genius

[@dougbruce3849]

I don’t think you have a muscle to pull…. Why use a vbelt? As opposed to a chain ?

[@mandocastanon2337]

Man bad rotator cuff I've been out of work wrenching for 3 months almost cause of that the pain from it, sucks, mine is bad enough I can't even drink a beer with my right arm anymore

[@setevn11]

I just use two screw drivers and pray I don't stab my face. I like this way better

[@hamreracing333]

Another way to do it is use a wire and vise grips instead of the v belt

[@cockasorrus7475]

Nice tip brudda! They red van is nice too!!

[@scottpella7419]

If I woulda' known this when I was a kid...I probably would of taken every hood spring out of the local bone-yard. Just because.....

Thank you American car manufacturers keep putting a cheap rods in cars 🙏

That's way easier (safer) than having the hinge on a vise...
