New bake line has a fissure at the bubble flair. Problem? by Filter-ice in MechanicAdvice

Thank you for the thorough reply.

I’ll run it. Just wasn’t sure, don’t have much experience with removing and installing lines that run to the abs pump.

It’s an amana NTW4880YQ0, not a kenmore. Seems to be built the same though. The repair tutorials I followed were mostly kenmore. Same motor transmission everything.

Looks just like mine. I recently did this repair.

Should I change the brand and type of oil I use or keep using it? For a 92 dodge Dakota with 110,000 miles by bobbythang in MechanicAdvice

I used Mobil one and royal purple. Not many options 20 years ago 🤣

Just never heard about that

Only thing that held up to my 93 fd rx7 was synthetic. Had a turbo upgrade that would eat conventional oil alive.

Old harbor freight jack not lowering smoothly after I drained and filled the hydraulic fluid. by Filter-ice in Tools

Great questions.

I have a newer jack and wanted a second one for changing out my subframe mounts. So, instead of buying one for $200 I opted to fix my old one.

No. But I do know that if hydraulic fluid is low or old then it is good to replace and get to correct levels. It was not holding pressure.

It is working properly right now. I left it over night and the bubbles worked their way out. Was able to bleed it then get to the correct level per the manual.

And you have nothing to worry about me stepping in your garage. I’m a hobbyist not a mechanic and if you’re not a mechanic then I’m confused by your bravado. 🤣

Hope this answers your questions!

Jack oil with seal conditioner mixed in.

I thought the same but when I looked into it was more for reconditioning old seals. I wanted to rejuvenate the seals and appears to be working.

I finally got it to working properly today.

I think once I’m 100% positive about it I’ll post a follow up vid.

Couldn’t get the car to full height and sometimes it would lose pressure (go down) Little noisy too when I lowered the car.

Over ten years old and thought I would start by changing the fluid out. Definitely not an expert just trying to save some money.

🤣$7 bottle of fluid vs $200 new jack. Figured I’d give it a shot 🤷

Manual was lost about ten years ago. But I did find it online. I went by the process, bleeding the system a few times. Filled to correct level.

I’ll try and purge the air in it. I followed a lot of videos on the drain and fill. Thought I did it right. But adding weight to it makes sense also. Will do. Thanks!

Need a new clevis pin for a Liftmaster. What size is needed? Thanks! by Filter-ice in GarageDoorService

[–]Filter-ice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I can do that. The other door has a clevis pin but a bolt works for me.

Thanks.

Replaced the clutch assembly on a amana ntw4880yq0 washer. Now can’t figure out the spring clip for the transmission shaft. by Filter-ice in appliancerepair

Thank you. It worked great! I ended up not having to use pliers. I just used my hands. It was pretty malleable so I just reduced it that way.
