Rey Guiab, Dirt Mechanic - alis lagutok ng steering - kulang sa grasa

 Mr. Guiab shows how to DIY remove the lagutok of the rack and pinion steering.   Nothing was wrong mechanically.  Just that the interior were dry and no grease.   Easy to do removal.   Remove 4 bolts, tie rod end.   Remove 2 bolts at the top from the column. 

Remove the boot, remove the pinion and the guide.  Inspect the rack and pinion.  The difficult part are the lock ring removal and replacement

Repairing stiff clutch pedal

 Most mechanics would recommend a P40K transmission take down and repair.  But it would cost not more than P1,000 to repair this.   All you need is understanding the mechanical principles, having some tools and common sense.

The cause of the hard pedal would be worn out slave piston assembly, dirty hydraulic (brake fluid) stuck up spring.  

You can remove the piston and the attachment to the clutch fork lever.  Then remove the piston from the assembly.  Its either you replace the rubber, the piston (or sand paper the piston and the cylinder.  Then bleed.  With these procedures, the clutch pedal should work all right afterwards.
