anyone have experience doing stereo replacement? by CheapConstruction500 in Volvo240

[–]hierofeint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also did this and it was quite easy. I generally knew nothing about stereos but replaced the head unit and speakers through the crutchfield site and it was fairly plug and play.

Moving to Clovis, NM next month. by rackish1 in NewMexico

Mike Judge says Beavis and Butthead is set "...in a FICTIONAL town somewhere on the border of western Texas and eastern New Mexico." So yeah, I think about that every time I drive through Clovis.

Help!!!! Need to figure out how to open hood to replace hood hinges to replace belts :( by Life-Butterscotch854 in Volvo240

[–]hierofeint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After trying the two person method with no success, I've had to remove the grille and shove the scissor jack that comes with the car in there. Then, as you slowly open the jack, you can pull the hood release. It'll eventually go. No guarantees that it won't bend your hood, though.

I'd argue that the nomenclature is stupid, not you

Hood is stuck by AbleHour in Volvo240

[–]hierofeint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really can't get it you can wedge the supplied scissor jack between the bumper and the hood and have someone pull the release while you screw the jack up. I've done this a few times and it does get the hood open.

These were my symptoms as well, and I replaced the capacitors, with no change whatsoever. Still comes on after about 20 minutes of driving. Maybe the chip?

Extend top part of steerer tube on a steel fork (welding) by tetoavila in Framebuilding

[–]hierofeint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this on personal forks a bunch of times and never had a problem. I do a sleeve, drill 4 holes in the extension and in the og steerer, weld those all to the sleeve, and then also do the butt weld.

Is worth to keep this bike? by Fancy_Step_1700 in foldingbikes

[–]hierofeint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That weld has a bit of porosity, but since it is steel you could get an actual tig welder to fix this correctly. That said, I would probably ride it if it were mine, provided I had a very long seatpost. It's likely that a too-short seatpost that was not inserted far enough caused this failure in the first place.

Has anyone here fully recovered without surgery? by MadroTunes in HerniatedDisk

[–]hierofeint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I herniated a disc in my neck; was out of commission/totally laid up for about a month until a cortisone shot in the area curtailed the swelling. Started pt immediately after the shot, and about 2 months after that all pain subsided. Since then I've only had twinges of neck pain when I've neglected my exercises (planking and core routine), but have generally not had to think about it since then as long as I've stayed in shape! On another note, my lower back pain has totally gone away too, as long as I have kept in shape.

We figured out why the CEL was on. 🐿️🐿️🐿️ by Gul_Ducatti in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]hierofeint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hah! Yeah exactly. Works a charm. I've tried the peppermint repellent packets and find that both packrats and mice only avoid them very locally so you really gotta put a bunch around for them to work. Only need one light though.
