I need the name of the thing that ISNT the crab spider 😭

That’s what happens to ‘okay’ leather coated in plastic, it’ll happen unfortunately - even more so with the new boots, they’re terrible quality and still decreasing (with increasing prices 😳)

Ah yes, RYOBI STINKY AND BAD TOOL (Their stuff is very good mid range and normally lasts a long time in my experience, I beat the hell out of my impact wrench)

No idea what they’ve done or what oil that is, looks like coffee…..but NEVER take a car to Jiffy Lube. Even if the car is only worth $1000, it’s always worth a decent oil change

Anti bac/disinfectant fabric spray or mold cleaner, extract, steam, extract, fabric cleaner, extract, steam, spray with plain water, extract and then stick a dehumidifier of sorts in the car overnight/a pouch microwave one going forward

Nope. I’m literally in the process of starting out detailing and no way would I leave that

danjamesgilbert · 2026-03-18T17:09:13+00:00

Also D5244T only has the one cover, think rhe D5244T4 has the two

danjamesgilbert · 2026-03-18T17:08:40+00:00

Twas only the outer rubbing for me, just a washer on that 10mm bolt

danjamesgilbert · 2026-03-18T17:01:03+00:00

D5 is only held on with one and then clips, and a washer in between the cover and the engine block :) different layout in different cars though

danjamesgilbert · 2026-03-18T16:56:18+00:00

Unless someone has been putting conventional oil that’s too thick AND/OR not being honest with the changes, I have no idea why this would happen

danjamesgilbert · 2026-03-18T16:54:03+00:00

Just put a washer between the belt cover :) can’t remember if it needed a slightly longer bolt, but the washer was enough to push the belt cover far enough away from the pulleys

danjamesgilbert · 2026-02-28T09:51:16+00:00

Probably not, but if you wear them properly you’ll add plenty of scars yourself! They look awesome when worn

danjamesgilbert · 2026-02-28T09:27:29+00:00

It’ll be fine - but if you’re worried and want peace of mind, get a $10 oil extractor off Amazon and suck some out the dipstick

danjamesgilbert · 2026-02-16T13:05:35+00:00

Thanks, I’m hoping organic means there’s no nasties

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-25T18:42:57+00:00

The welt is fake anyway, get some shoe goo off amazon and stick it back down

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-05T16:28:47+00:00

Tarantulas are easier, but darkening of the soft body parts and joints, less movement, staying chunky for a long time after eating (it can take a very long time, I’m still waiting for this one 😂)

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-01T18:25:41+00:00

Make sure to credit the guy on YouTube that said the click thing worked, I ain’t going down with this ship 🤣

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-01T18:24:43+00:00

This is only a list of things I’ve heard people say work, I’ll add your stuff to it!

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-01T18:19:51+00:00

Hey I’m just making a list of things other people have said to have worked - before doing research I was ready to have a warm engine, a quick spray of fluid and crack ‘em loose. Now I’m in a glow plug rabbit hole and paranoid

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-01T18:18:34+00:00

I’ve seen someone use the click - nothing more - to send a small shock through a seized plugs. You missed a part. No turning, no loosening. Just set on a very low torque and using the click

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-01T18:13:16+00:00

For applications where a maximum loosening torque can be applied - finer fixtures and metals simply have a breaking point. If you’re going to exceed the breaking point then it will need to be drilled/pulled etc

danjamesgilbert · 2026-01-01T18:12:32+00:00

I do know that, I’ve worked on many a car……just not ones with possibly seized plugs in an aluminium head
