Nissan Pathfinder - Navara / Frontier - Brake disc / rotor & Pad change
Nissan Pathfinder Navarav Brake disc / rotor & Pad change using EBC pads which apparently reduce the dust level distributed all over your nice wheels. Changing the pads and discs yourself in my case saved just under half the cost of having a local (none main agent) garage do the job. You can manage this with a basic socket set, Flat bladed screwdriver and a good old hammer.

Removing Brake Rotor Screws That Won't Come Out - EricTheCarGuy
I think the title covers this one. Honda's are famous for this so I made this little video to help you should you be in this situation. Wear your safety glasses when you do this or whenever you hit things, getting crap in your eye sucks, trust me. Impact drivers can be found at your local tool supplier. If you don't have a hammer I don't know what to tell you. This doesn't seem to require a long explanation so I'm going to stop typing now.

How To Replace CV Boots - EricTheCarGuy

This one is a request from more than one person so I'm happy to bring it to you. As I said in the video I personally don't see much point of replacing just the CV boots anymore as it just makes more sense to replace the axle, that's just how I feel however. If you do want to replace the boots I hope this video will help.

Replacing Rear Brakes, 2002 PT Cruiser - EricTheCarGuy
Replacing Rear Brakes, 2002 PT Cruiser - EricTheCarGuy
http://www.ericthecarguy.com/
Most of you know that the rear brake shoe videos are among my most popular so when I get a chance to video a job like this I always take the opportunity. This one is pretty typical of an American car in my experience and I believe to be a pretty straightforward operation. Also covered in this video is jacking up the vehicle and putting it on jack stands because I get so many requests for that.

How To Install Replace Headlight and Bulb Nissan Maxima 04-08 1AAuto.com

2003 Nissan Altima S - Camshaft & Crankshaft Position Sensors
2003 Nissan Altima S 2.5L W/Automatic Transmission
PROBLEM:
INTERMITTENT NO-STARTS & ROUGH-STARTS WITH NO DTCs SET.
A LOCAL AUTOSHOP HAD REPLACED ONLY THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, MADE SURE NO DTCs PRESENT AND OPS CHECK GOOD.
HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RETURNED.
NOW, THE SAME AUTOSHOP BELIEVES THAT THE FAULT IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLEX PLATE, WHICH MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AS WELL, ACCORDING TO HIM.
ESTIMATE IS AT ~$750.
The mechanic didn't try to replace the Crankshaft sensor alone, he went straight for the Tranny drop. I figured go with the cheap fix first. If it comes back, then we will look into the Flex Plate.
I replaced the recently replaced Camshaft sensor & the never been replaced Crankshaft sensor. So far, so good.
Replacing the Camshaft sensor is a 2-minute job.
The Crankshaft sensor will likely take 30 times as long.
It seems like the Old Crankshaft Position sensor I removed was a bit high on a resistance check, when compared to brand new sensors. With too high a resistance value, the sensor may not make use of the full voltage it is receiving and/or it may not return the required amount of voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which will lead to irregular engine operation or a no-start condition.
Both Camshaft & Crankshaft sensors are the same part number. The 3rd version of the sensor is encased in metal, not plastic.
The OEM part number is 23731-6N21A ($44 us)
The old part numbers were encased in plastic. These part numbers should not be used: 23731-8J005 & 23731-8J006

Nissan recalls that problem to reprogram the ECU. What happens the crank sensor electrical terminals seep oil into the crank sensors plug. The new metal crank sensors correct this problem. Location of this sensor on the back of the motor is difficult to change and you need gorrilia finger grip to depress the connector green lock and remove the sensor. Depending on your cars Vin# Recall Campaign # R0712 NHTSA# 07V-527. Hopefully your factory warranty replaces the sensor no charge 5yr/60,000 mile. The campaign only covers the ECM reprogram. The ECM reprogram makes both sensors act as one so either will allow the car to start. Stalling and not starting is a safety risk.

How to Replace Front Struts Part 1 - EricTheCarGuy
Well I'm finally getting this one up for you, sorry. It's been a busy week and I just haven't had the time to finish this one up but here it is in all its glory. Yes, it is something besides a Honda, in fact it's a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. I do work on other cars just not that often since I know Honda's and Acura's so well. I hope to do a broad range of videos covering a wide range of subjects so keep watching, eventually I'll get to your request. For now enjoy this video and if you use the spring compressors I did in this video be careful, like I said in the video I've seen people get hurt doing this do take it seriously.

How to Replace Front Brake Pads and Rotors
Front brake pads provide up to 70% of vehicle stopping power. In general, front brake pads wear out twice as fast as rear brake pads, 2 to 1. Disc brakes have a definite braking power advantage over drum style brakes and performance is not compromised as much when wet. Some disc brakes utilize cooling fins in-between the braking surfaces to maximize cooling efficiency. Replacing brake discs can vary depending on the make and model of car or truck, two wheel or four wheel drive. Always replace brake rotors with top quality or OEM (original equipment manufacturer) brake rotors, some less expensive brake rotors can squeak and not dissipate heat as well because of their inferior metal quality.
