Cripes...You can go out by bearings and an actual 8-12 ton press for your garage and still come out at least $300-400 cheaper than that....Fack thats pricey. Its like they don't want business and only warranty shit work to do! [drummer]
I did it by hand with bearing pullers and such. The job sucked a LOT so yeah get a press or take it down to the press out press in stage and have a shop do it for a small amount.

These expansion tank hoses are just such a bad design. Just give me a hose onto a barb, not this hard plastic junk that breaks if you look at it wrong.

What did I do today? Changed my sparkplugs and broke those fittings somehow.
Welcome to my life. I break shit on this car all the time. Don’t ask me how many headlights I’ve replaced.

I put in a panel filter, a license plate frame and Cobb Accessport Stage 1. Was gonna do an intake hose too but didn’t realize the 2016+ vacuum hoses are different so need more parts. Any tips? I was just going to use the whoosh cel fix kit.

If you are referring to the blue intake hose, I wouldn't get too excited. There wasn't much of a difference, not even in the butt dyno. That money wouldv'e been better spent on a custom tune IMHO

6 days ago, i had to replace the radiator fan assembly. ordered a brand new motorcraft one off rockauto (because it was the cheapest place i found, being $181 versus dealers quoting me well over $300), express shipped it since my car overheated tuesday night & i needed my car to be running wednesday morning. job was a pain in the butt and i gouged the radiator when taking the original fan out. it wasn't too bad. doesn't seem to have affected cooling all too much. still makes me sad, since it's a nice mountune rad. :(

HVAC fin combs are your friend. Make sure it’s the right fin density and be gentle.

Mountune sold a 17+ hose. They are no longer available.

Took my car to Murietta yesterday to have a section of the ClearPro 3M film that was badly scratched on a concrete parking block which showed from the front. They took the film off and NOT a mark on the paint underneath. This shit is STRONG! Forget PPF!

Detailed it for the first time in longer than I'd like to admit. It was super gross. Took just shy of nine hours and I'm still not 100% satisfied.

I know the feeling LoL... and it probably won't help to say that I prefer the first pic. (probably just the angle of the shot ;))

This tells me that it would probably look nice in a matte grey wrap even...

For the small section I had replaced, $156.40. When I had the car done 10yrs ago and warranted for 10yrs, it was $600, but to do it again now costs $1,200, but worth every penny for the protection it provides. There was not a mark on the paint underneath. I wouldn't waste my money on PPF, it's so flimsy and if your car gets hit by BIG insects, their acid will burn through the film and damage the paint. Will never happen with ClearPro 3M film! I have the proof!
