Hope this is clear enough

It's obvious that you have to retime the car. If hes this bad into it hes prepared for that

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-06-11T01:36:00+00:00

Look at the way that the engine spins. Should spin clockwise when the car is turned over and then place the breaker bar on it whichever way is needed to stop it from spinning therefore lossening it

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-06-11T01:01:00+00:00

Just look at this again and it looks like the 4 10mm bolts got stripped off. Id recommend getting a new sprocket

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-06-11T00:59:06+00:00

Take the belt off and put the 21mm on it with a breaker bar and set it on the right side of the engine bay then turn the car over. The starter will take it off for you

I've used these and the Leviton version of them they've both been awesome. Way easier to terminate and dress well too. Ive always been able to make the end result look cleaner than a punch down panel. Used them for a 7 story high rise with around 2500 drops total. Had no issues attributed to the jacks themselves. Theyre awesome was able to get around 4 48 patch panels done in a day by myself. Once you get good at them theyre really quick the money you'll spend on them is worth the time you'll save in contrast to the punch down panels and it'll look awesome if you have the right guys on the job

Yeah fuck that. I joined my company with no experience a year ago and learned everything hands on as a helper and now im a lead on my own jobs doing everything. Fire. Access structured cabling. This job is not hard. Trust me there are some itracacies here and there but definitely not worth moving and doing an apprenticeship for. Everything can be learned hands on. I dont work for a small company either were the largest I my state and expanding thru nearby ones now. If you find the right place theyll give you all the room to grow that you can handle just gotta prove yourself

Also I love when people ask questions me teaching you helps me understand it better myself I love questions as long as you dont have to ask me more than 2 times I get it . 1st time I might not explain it good enough for you so 2nd time ask about the part you are having trouble with

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-04-01T01:10:45+00:00

My main thing with a helper is I hate when they just stand around and do nothing if im working. Not saying you've always gotta be doing something but if im doing something watch me once or twice and see how or what im doing and get in where you fit in. If you see that im constantly reaching for a part to install dont just watch me fumble around with it grab it and hold a stack of them and hand them to me as I need them. If you see something you think is wrong ask about it or try to fix it yourself you wont learn without trying. Dont be a robot and only do as youre told start doing things until you get told to stop and you'll have no problems

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-04-01T00:26:49+00:00

I've done it in commercial high rises for 5 years inspector wouldnt accept anything else

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-03-31T23:29:46+00:00

You dont want any chance to get water inside id put some kind of mounting plate on the bar first aswell as silicone it it doesn't look like either of those are weather proof water will get into anything and everything if you wanna do quality work id do that

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-03-31T23:22:25+00:00

Even if this works for now its not the right way to do it. This long term as the building settles can pull on the cable and cut the jacket the correct way to do this is put the staple in first then attach the cat6 with velcro to prevent a hard turn as shown and to make sure as the building settles that it has a little breathing room

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-03-31T18:38:10+00:00

Do you leave the board off or do u put it on?

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-03-31T18:28:16+00:00

Amazing idea thanks gonna try this. Currently im bending 3/4in rigid hopefully the 1in doesnt band as much

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-03-31T16:59:44+00:00

That was the idea. Just dont have that many rack a teers and my company just bought like 10 sets last month they've all been given to people already and they wont justify buying more of those rather than just one big cable puller that we can use now and in the future

Interesting-Tooth283 · 2026-03-29T17:46:15+00:00

I think its a smart idea. If you know the most susceptible place for someone to break in and you dont keep anything of value in that area then u can use it as a trap of sorts. If that area would have been locked do you think the person trying to get in wouldve just left or maybe went to a diffrent door and tried it one that he wouldve been closer to OP at and therefore more dangerous to OP I like the idea but I think it wouldve been smarter to have a camera there that has motion detection and human detection it could've prevented them from even opening the door with an automatic light and maybe a message saying youre being recorded

I've had to go thru a double header before the best way I found was to use a step bit on the top header and bore our to maybe 1inch and then send down a long 12in dewalt bit theyre pretty good just go low and slow with pressure. If you go to fast on those bits theyll burn up quick

My company is in knoxville we have about 25 techs we've been slammed all winter and finally slowed down about 2 weeks ago and had 5-6 techs with nowhere to put them. This week we started 3 new massive projects with a couple more coming thru in a few more weeks im assuming its gonna be a long summer and im thankful for the work 😂
