Flat tire repair rescue by girl

 Do we find this in the Philippines?  Or in USA.  This is probably somewhere in Asia, say Pakistan or Cambodia?

This is a wonderful service and admireable for fair sex

The lady should however do some more weights to handle the heavy work.

Replacing brake and fuel lines of Toyota

 To prevent rusting, use 3/16 nickel copper lines.    Do not use compression junctions.  They may produce catastrophic spilling and failure.   

Do not position lines near torsion suspension parts or near hot exhaust.  

Locate them near the body   For Toyota, flare the lines....






Replacing Subaru lens, lens removal and assembly

 These parts are pricey.   The lens alone would set you back by P3,000+ and the whole assembly by P40,000.   

I got interested in this because water entered the headlight assembly of the subaru forester we had.   You have to find the tabs, remove the front grille and bumper, then you can remove the headlight assembly.

To remove the lens from the plastic body you can do:   1.   use a blowtorch (or hair blower) to soften the plastic   2   invent an oven (a box where you blow in the hot air for 15-30 minutes.

Carefully remove the plastic, clean the interior and polish.   You should watch the Pakistani craftsmen do this the lens cleaning









Black smoke after replacing turbos and injector

 It could be due to the intercooler.   Signs of defective intercooler:   black soot and oil at the underside from the leak.
