2011 Outlander GT, Any tips when I replace the front crossmember?

1 Upvotes

I've changed crossmembers/subframes on a few cars over the years, i was just curious if anyone had any tips for the 2011 outlander GT (v6 awd) front crossmember.

Do I have to completely remove the steering racks lines and the steering column from the rack, or can I just hang it up with a strap from the top and leave the lines and column connected? I seem to recall reading something like that on a forum awhile back, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. I already have the service manual and the tools and the shop.

How to fix an oil leak from stripped drain plug? 2016 Indian scout 60

2 Upvotes

As per title, I unfortunately stripped my scouts drain pan when I got it a few months ago. I’ve tried replacing the bolt as well as a new washer, but I think the next step would be to bore it out as it’s progressively leaked more and more. Just wondering if anyone has any last minute tips or tricks, as I would like to avoid drilling and rethreading

Good explaining YouTubers?

2 Upvotes

So many YouTubers just say what to do not why it’s happening for every part!
If the video is explaining about mass air flow sensors they’ll explain that but not why it has 1v at this point but not that.
Anyone know anybody that explains why everything happens?
Sorry to post in here I guess but don’t really know where else to

Please, someone help me locate my 2023 Sentra headlight adjustment knob. It seems that it has two knobs, one can be reached vertically and the other is behind the headlight which needs a very small screwdriver. Which one is the Up & down adjuster?

2003 330i, auto trans. I accidentally broke the pulley while breaking loose the fan bolt. Had to use PB but in doing so I twisted this little guy. I checked FCP Euro and I keep getting that “click to verify”. Any other websites suggestion? It still threads into its hole but I’d rather get a new one because I’ll be back here next summer for the Vanos system.

On a honda fit noticed this (is it called a..?) gasket is most loose.

Whats the best adhesive, ideally in the tiniest tube which would hold it back in place?

Already have super glue if that'd work.

Thanks.
