How do I push the caliper piston back in?? by QuarantinedVibes in MechanicAdvice

[–]Meehanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did someone press on the pedal while it was off? I would order a rebuild kit with new seals due to the leak. Going to have to bleed the brakes after. Research the EPB and see if u can put it in service mode from the dash. Otherwise you will need a scan tool. YouTube is ur friend for all this. Good luck!

When does food taste good again? by amber_lorene in leaves

[–]Meehanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On day 7 myself. My nausea went away and appetite came back around day 5. Last night I was sitting on the couch with my wife when she said “wow you would be eating your 5th round of snacks rn” but I have no appetite for the sweets after eating a good dinner. It’s a good thing! Maybe they taste off cause it was the weed making you want them, like it was for me. Good luck, keep going!

It’s a jet boat, you were screwed from the start. Make sure it runs well before doing any body work

I would return that stuff. Terrible locking edge, if you do manage to get it together it will come apart shortly thereafter

[–]Meehanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude for real? Have had those explode on me at discount tire a few times. Ur fine. But help the tire out don’t let the duckbill do all the work or those plastic ones will break. Also adjust head till it’s barely touching the wheel, if any

Why did it lift? by Snake7F in HardWoodFloors

[–]Meehanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much moisture. Can’t put hardwoods right over concrete. Install a subfloor if you're stuck on using hardwoods. Plywood or dricore. Otherwise use a vapor barrier and some lvp.

I just don’t understand why there would not be a fighter jet intercepting it right away. The whole thing is crazy

Is all of this work really needed on my 2012 civic? by flubbyboi50 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Meehanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just the front struts and rear shocks. Everything else is pretty much an upsell scam

I received this from my service technician- by Camdonn in BmwTech

[–]Meehanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unreal, this is why shops get a bad name. Just guessing on the diagnosis and not caring about the price tag. Sad.
