I remove the filter and keep my hands perfectly clean. Canister used worn engine oil filter. Also works for cartridge filter type.

This eBrake connector is almost impossible to disconnect - how to do it e-brake had an issue with the EPB not releasing on one side, it was due to connector not properly inserted or water ingress. Wiggle a bit the connector, make sure it sits secure. Be aware: I do not recommend trying to power the EPB with 12V directly at this connector to retract it for new brakes. There are reports online of owners who did so, then when they started the car, the EPB automatically moved and damaged the unit motor - had to be replaced. It is possible that the car no longer knows the actual EPB position.

This sunshade fully protects from side sun while driving - both driver and rear passengers such as babies and kids/children can be protected from heat stroke or sun burn. You can open the door but not the window.

Be careful if you order an inexpensive jack stand from Amazon for working on your car. Always check the welds when you receive the item.

In short, when replacing the tie rods on one side, adjust the new tie rods so the steering wheel sits straight when driving. Then replace the tie rods on the other side, and adjust again to have the steering wheel sitting straight when driving. Alignment playlist https://rumble.com/playlists/UOPMM9DOVhM

A trick to preserve the wheel geometry/alignment (almost) unchanged when replacing outer tie rods. Alignment playlist https://rumble.com/playlists/UOPMM9DOVhM

Why sometimes the steering wheel stays turned to one side (not centered) while driving in a straight line. May also cause 'pulling' to one side. Alignment playlist https://rumble.com/playlists/UOPMM9DOVhM On some cars equipped with Yaw sensors, having the steering wheel off center when going in a straight line can fool the Anti-skid system and throw an error code warning light for the Clockspring (SAS steering angle) sensor, especially on SUV vehicles. May also trigger SRS code and light and Active chassis code

A poorly made video to try to show how to adjust the geometry of the front wheels. I apologize for the length and quality. Once the alignment is done, if the steering wheel is still off center, you will need to reduce the tie rod at one wheel and to add the same amount at the tie rod of the other wheel. The steering wheel will turn to the side where tie rod length was added. Alignment playlist https://rumble.com/playlists/UOPMM9DOVhM
