hvac tec here: dont measure with the fan on. keep it off and measure at the lowest point. the gas will go down naturally and concentrate so you get a better trigger. the device also triggers off the oil, remove the oil before measuring. easy test is always to stick it into the drain under the car. for annoying leaks you can backfill with nitrogen to increase leakage. but you have to do a REAL good vacuum and refill before starting the compressor again or you will destroy it.

Ray, also an AC tech here (retired) as has been said by others the leak detector can be triggered to alarm by the penetrating oil you used in the valve, the same goes for many soaps and cleaners. To prove the point use the detector to sniff the oil can nozzle. For very small hard to find leaks using hi pressure nitrogen inside the ac system can greatly help . Also do not test with the fan running at any speed the leak you are looking for is very small fan air disturbs or dilutes the concentration of the refrigerant.

Hi Ray, I had an issue with a leak in my Honda Civic 2002 that would slowly empty the system after one week of filling it up. I replaced the condenser, receiver dryer and all o-rings several times. Multiple repair shops filled it up six or more times with refrigerant but the leak was still there. The last repair shop even tried leak detection with nitrogen. After almost one year I finally found the leak in the pressure switch which was leaking through the electronics part (plug). I have put a video with images on youtube where the dye is clearly visible inside the pressure sensor plug. The accord has the same pressure switch, might be a similar issue.

Here's what an impact your videos make. I was watching this video this morning and although I have worked on cars since I was a teenager, I don't do it for a career and I don't know everything. So after I started restoring a 77 corvette for my wife (was her dad's car), my son took to wanting to be a mechanic. He's 18. Thinks he knows everything but he's got a ways to go. Of course he has never helped me with the corvette in almost 2 years, but he wants to work on his car himself. 2011 Mazdaspeed 3. Today he was replacing his rear brake pads and rotors. As well as other stuff. I'm looking the calipers and recognize them as actuated calipers. Now I've never worked on these before and he tries to spread the piston with a spreader until I said he probably needed a windback tool for those because of the two holes in the piston that line up with the dimples on the back of the inside brake pad. Low and behold I learned something today and he learned something today after I just happened to watch your video this morning. Thank you Ray for everything you do. My Channel is starting soon too. Stay tuned.

I did a lot of brake jobs on 79-87 900s. I wore out 2 of the factory piston turning tools. I finally made my own tool out of some flat stock and 3/16" drill bit shanks. The actuator levers for the E-brake would always get sticky here in New England and the E-brakes would drag. SAAB had a seal kit for the levers. The shafts would get rusty. Eventually the secondary piston for the E-brake would get sticky. The caliper slides would wear and you'd get a shudder from the front brakes when you stopped after backing up. It was difficult to get the Gleitmo lube in those channels. 88-93 and 94 convertible 900 had the 9000 style brakes with the rear E-brake system. I hated the damn wheel bolts. I miss my 900s.

@@mlieser1230 heck I'm talking the late 2-stroke era🤣 Late 60s I guess. The good old days. The only advantage of the rear ebrakes was when ice racing the Saabs could lock up the rear tires in tight turns. Unless there was water on the ice and it was below freezing because then the cable would lock up permanently and that was not good. End of race for them. I finally put a high pressure valve on the rear Citroën brakes that would tap into the rear suspension pressure at the tap of a button on my dash. Wow was that a game changer because now I could lock them up in a tight turn water or not. Never lost a race again. Fun times.

He could lock up one or the other and/or both rear wheels for tight maneuvers. The free wheel on the transmission allowed for clutch less shifting. The Citroens were something.

What I was taught by my father and still do today is simply use a piece of rubber tubing that fits onto the terminal (porcelain portion) well and use that to lower the plug into the hole. Another thing I have learned throughout the years with all fasteners and especially do with Spark Plugs, I turn them in reverse until I feel the threads "click" and index properly and then gently thread it in. The rubber tubing gives plenty of grip to hold the plug and if the threads are binding for some reason it'll allow the plug to stop turning before a 15minute job turns into an all day, or multiple day project.

I agree. That is dangerous, using a power tool initially to run the spark plugs in. It would be costly to have to repair a cross threaded spark plug!

Use about a 9-in piece of rubber hose it slides down over the spark plug porcelain and put it in start the treads and then run it down with the ratchet this way you guaranteed not to cross thread especially in aluminum heads you don't want the treads get messed up then you've got a problem have a good day

I think brakes are the most important part of a car, especially if u drive it hard like I drive mine. Every time I watch u do brakes it makes me happy on the inside that you did mine so I can have 100% confidence in them. (And also cuz I saw it get done on video so I can have 110% confidence in them lol 😉). I really look forward to the next time I need something done on my car to have u do it and see ur new place!!! Congrats again!

I’m on the SE Texas gulf coast and good thing we don’t have to deal with is the rusted out autos. Most techs up north don’t get the luxury of working on clean autos. I specialize in Ford power stroke trucks. I just have to deal with mud and red sand. You are a good tech and yes always use top quality parts. Or factory OEM. Less problems, happier customers. Good luck to you.

@@pilsplease7561 Well welcome to the Big state of Texas. So much highway to cover. And the wide open spaces of I10. Storms happen like this every 10 years or so. The people that experienced the old storms retired and the new ones that replaced them don’t have a clue. It is not an every year occurrence. So many forget average annual temp in Texas is 69°. So when we have flooding nobody makes a big deal except the ones that get their cars flooded. Best remedy for that is sit your but down and wait a hour after it stops raining to drive.

Hello Ray. On some systems with handbrake in brake caliper like on this accord you need to make handbrake calibration procedure after compressing caliper piston to be sure that right and left handbrake are equal on nm braking force when car is mot tested. So press the foot brake ah hard(after initial pumping) as you can and pull the handbrake lever few times at max. You can check this thing at parking brake equalizer and check if equalizer is lined. Sure you know about that but just a little thing that can fail on mot.

I bought a hammer impact wrench back in the '70's when I worked on my dirt bike. Still have it and occasionally use it on stubborn phillips/flathead screws. Also my Mustangs (of the past) had the actuated rear brake caliper. I had a cube shaped adapter that fit 6 different slot sizes with 3/8" socket fit, and that worked quite well to screw the caliper back in.
