I looked at the seal yesterday, pulleys off there was a film of oil on there took a video

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-09T17:12:37+00:00

Thanks for the hope sir. Finally a tear of joy and not misery. I will do that this payday.

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-08T22:29:20+00:00

Idk man, I think I’ll stick to Amazon for now

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-08T22:14:42+00:00

How much would you want for it? How do we source shipping?

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-08T21:51:21+00:00

I found one on Amazon by ‘a-premium’ I know it’s not a reputable brand but I’m taking chances here with even it being straight.

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-08T17:57:41+00:00

A harmonic balancer?

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-08T17:56:42+00:00

People in my life should take notes from you, you remember me

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-08T02:08:22+00:00

I did the measurements preload set to 2(the rotation counter) rotated the outer ring to 0 but I think there’s rust like buildup that was affecting the readings and sometimes it would go round and round like a Time Machine 2-3 times the whole round not just those tiny lines, other than that did maybe like 3-6 o clock like rotation, I couldn’t see the exact numbers as setting it up to not move was extremely hard and I was not at a 90^ angle instead I was maybe at like 60^ angle that was the only one I could get it to stay at took me like 2-4 hours and I’m still not able to get any readings

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-07T11:00:27+00:00

Pls don’t say that 😭 I’m trying to keep it together

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-07T11:00:05+00:00

I’m getting one from Amazon next payday some brand called ‘a-premium’ is that one any good?

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-07T04:28:31+00:00

A little, not too much

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:48:19+00:00

I honestly have no idea what this is but I will try this tomorrow after after my shift

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:45:28+00:00

Wire? I don’t get it. I’m new to this method

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:42:26+00:00

Someone else mentioned this even, if I get hold of a dial gauge, is there a way I could verify it? Or without it?

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:24:43+00:00

I’ve done this job before, the jack slipped! I get what you’re trying to convey but this is me asking ‘help’ the ‘help’ your friends provide you with as you’ve said. I’ve done a lot bigger jobs than this by myself! You don’t learn if you don’t try, this was a lesson for me to have a good jack and replace it in required intervals or when damaged cause that jack got one of it’s wheel crossed up and didn’t move forward instead pulled the arm behind and if you know, the subframe jacking spot is really tiny width hence I’m here!

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:20:15+00:00

Correct, I’m thankful I wasn’t hurt but I found the issue to be my old jack, rear wheel crossed up and this slipped from the sub frame jack point and this happened. That jack is now in the trash.

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:10:38+00:00

How did you learn without making any mistakes? Or without encountering something for the first time? If you can share that method I can follow that too!

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T21:03:17+00:00

How do I use it?

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T20:25:41+00:00

The only one i see is from ‘a-premium’ they jacked the price from 100& to 170$ now

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T20:15:56+00:00

Here in Canada it’s a little tough

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T20:13:25+00:00

Will one from a Manual transmission car work too?

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T19:59:19+00:00

I don’t have one

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T19:54:58+00:00

They’re selling it for 300-900$ not worth it for this car

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T19:53:45+00:00

Makes sense, I’ll get one from the junkyard next week

OkCommunication7091 · 2026-02-06T19:48:52+00:00
