Thanks for that putting it back together is definitely the hardest part.

[@daviddubeck2436]

Great tip video. I'm glad you changed the broken lug stem. Makes you wonder how a 7 year old vehicle can have a broken stem?

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Yup! That's what I said. Someone may have cross threaded it at some point. Thanks for watching & for your comment. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@SeanBZA]

@@WrenchingWithKenny Been to Walmart tires or Jiffy lube......... Impact to remove, and impact to install.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

You're absolutely correct! They are the worst

[@glennfields8121]

Brother Kenny, I always appreciate your tips to make life just a bit easier. Thank you.

[@mikejerrett7354]

Yes not releasing the vise grips until its done is a great tip. 👍

[@Michael-yi4mc]

I love Kenny tricks of the trade. “ You don’t have to go bananas…”😊

[@haneyoakie14]

Very cool tip! Thanks Kenny

[@towmantowman]

Man i've fought with self adjuster brakes so many times. I also never thought of a spark plug plier set to collapse the outer ring of the cable. I always fight with a screwdriver and normal pliers to spin the outer end of the cable around so one of the 2 tabs is in the outer slot and then the other is just pushed in with a screwdriver then I slide it back out. Total pain in the butt but it worked for me.

[@stevewagner6373]

You Should have used a smooth jaw or fuel line clamp to show how to do it,for the people who love to over clamp the (vicegrips) witch cuts the plastic on the cable.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Good idea. I will make a point of doing that soon. Thanks for the suggestion & watching the channel. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@rosch1964]

i didnt know that... it helps... thx for showing us..

[@bobby9195]

Thanks for the tip Mr Kenny,it will come in handy 😊

[@willarddenton4360]

Great information Thank You

[@papabits5721]

Its the other side that's the hard one to get off, for me anyway. I will try this trick next time. I just did this job job today on a 2016

[@brianmiller-iz6vf]

Looks like that minivan has been sitting for while?

[@3rdpig]

If people are having trouble with that I can only imagine how much trouble they'd have with the P brake cable on a drum brake. Of course most of them have probably never seen a drum brake before.

[@deetee3153]

Nice to know, thanks Kenny!

[@georgebonney90]

Great trick,thank you Sir

[@merrillschaps2325]

It works well on drum brakes as well.

[@BRIGGS2710]

I noticed you don't use gloves. Then, what hand cleaner do you use?

[@davidweum]

Is there any part required for a wheel alignment? Asking for a friend.

[@thekeeneygarage]

solid

[@gerryhuff4624]

Thanks, I learned something new today, being I'm a DIYer. Is GM the same principle? I have a 2004 Chevy Impala

[@wingman8447]

Very good

[@WillieConner-o1r]

Tip I need to know players still wear for the rubber hose on the end of them. It doesn’t crush your cable.

[@WillieConner-o1r]

Caning spell, needle nose, vice grips put River hose on the end of it doesn’t crush your cable

[@WillieConner-o1r]

Sorry guys I’m done on voicemail. This thing doesn’t want to spell right

[@alenmihelcic8267]

I work only like that.

[@GaryLagasse]

why are the rotors so rusty like they haven't been used in quite awhile

[@iFixJunk]

What's the fix if, say, you DID manhandle it til it became "out of whack" and the pedal now does nothing? 🫢 Just in case......

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

It depends on the vehicle. There are certain procedures that can "reset" the pedal or handle .

[@iFixJunk]

@@WrenchingWithKenny Let's say it's a 2006 Ford Freestyle. For argument's sake.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I could look it up for ya. Is it just free slack now?

[@iFixJunk]

@@WrenchingWithKenny Thank you! No, not quite slack, but definitely not doing much
