Tie a string around the spring an pull it thru the hole.
70s VW contraband 😂😂 reminds me of a Futurama episode….
use string
I guess I'm 2 years late on my method of getting springs on different parts and machines. I learned this years ago and maybe someone else might see the comment and will help them get s spring on in a impossible place
On your mirrow spring if you wrap a wire around the part or spring you should be able to pull the spring or part through the hole with no problem.
I used this method for 30 years as a printer. There are at least 50 springs on most printing presses. If you have some strong string that will work to.
My heart sank as that mirror head fell out. I think I even reached out to grab it. 😅
Good string would have pulled it through the mirror facia… just saying
The miror was diving me crazy. Nothing a screw driver like a snowmobile exhaust spring puller
Use wire around the button
1:02:00 – string or wire wrapped around and pull through the hole. I paused to comment so I don't know the final solution yet 🤣
Coker tires has them
maybe it's made for low profile tires?
1:02:05 I'd pull it thru with a string.
wrap a string around it
Its good to have a episode like this it may teach someone or be like me get to live out stuff you love
Put a piece of wire on it
you should have used a piece of string.!or fishing line.!
love watching this. better than netflix, from newfoundland ,learn lots ,
,keep on wrenching
Mustie, the Redline tires (47:50) that you tried on the Amante would look good on your Mopar convertible. They would "scale" well to that car. I'd stick with a radial tire no matter what.
That whole interior should have sound deadener installed after the metal repairs are complete.
Second skin audio!
CLR works good for cleaning rust and crud out of tanks
Usa un alambre amaralo y pasalo y jalalo y cai en sitio
great video to see thanks take care
thin cut inside the jaws of the pilers
re cleaning the fuel tank, pressure washer and nuts and/or stones in side the tank, is quick and effective at cleanning the crap out, after it drys a bit slosh some diesel around to stop flash rust. or wd 40 if you like.
its the dot 4 fluid that causes those bits to corrode and get stuck, if u use dot 5 silicon fluid you dont that problem even it the car sits. dot 4 likes water, and will wash away with just water. you have steel rubber and alloy, in those brake parts add water based dot 4 and get a nice chemical corrosion happning.
Disc brakes on your little sports car
Future reference…tie a piece of dental floss around the mirror part/spring….threat it through the mirror holder, pull it through
19:50 Ooof… I think someone put a tiger in their tank, and then forgot about it for 50 years. WTF is green liquid coming out of a gas tank for? Holy crap. At least my stomach has settled back down after the scenes where you went groping around in the graveyard that was a floorboard and a disaster at the fortune cookie factory. That was pure stomach torture… but oddly fascinating. You really got me with the " I may have a spare floorboard that will fit this."
Looks like a Pantera… sounds like a VW…
47:00 Max 6 years on a tire, they said.
These are fine, I said. 😎ðŸ‘
Whould use a vire to pull the spring true
Turn it into the Mach 5 from speed racer for real!
I want to see part 4!
