I love YouTube

[Grumpy]

I had a plastic bezel break on driver's side seat on one of my cars. Looking at it, it seemed that I would have to pull the seat but I found a video showing how to replace that part without removing the seat. I would have never figured out how to remove some of the clips involved without breaking something. Amazed that someone would take the time to record something like that.

If someone has a thought or need, chance are it's already documented out there.

Found a YT on how to take the drawers and shelves out of my new fridge to give it a deep clean.

I was also amazed to find it right there.

Puts a Chilton manual pic to shame.

Those were always a huge ripoff.

 

[DogWhisperer]

It would have taken me some time, but I'd eventually figure out what the ring was called (bezel?) and then found it on YT. If you don't need crazy tools most people can figure a way to fix just about anything with the help available online.

True, but they were far cheaper than getting a service manual from a dealer.

Yeah, the service manual for this particular car is $300 and it's 3 volumes

Before taking on any major project, I always go to YT to get an idea of how to approach it. I would have ruined the front trim replacing the front bumper on the GMC if I hadn't looked first.

I have learned to repair a front load washer, a front load dryer (two separate issues), a tow behind lawn vacuum and countless other stuff. Lots of auto repairs as well.

I graduated from YouTube U Magna Cum Laude!

They're good for videos on Gun Repair and Modifications too.

We use it for a ton of subjects. Our garden is producing spectacularly since researching everything we plant and riding on the coattails of others who nailed down pest practices.

Prior to YouTube, we just continued to do what was passed down generationally only to find out our generations were just winging it.

Helipng the widowed neighbor go through her houses presale inspection report helped me learn something. I'm pretty good with doors and windows, 84 has a great training program and I was the door and window guy for six months, the factory reps teach you a lot. Both of our houses were built by the same local builder almost 40 years ago using Andersen Narrowline windows. I've looked at using Andersen's Renewal program to replace all of my windows, but that will cost a bit while being far less intrusive than replacing the whole window.

In any case, she had two windows where the strings that keep the windows up were not retracting. Found a youtube that explained why and how to replace the "cartridges". It was courtesy of a place that specializes in door and window hardware. What would be 300-400 hundreds looks to be a hundred or two if you hire a guy.

Linking that vid because the company associated should be in any handymans list.

 

[GURPS]

Yeah these are great ....
I've looked up a couple of things for my 2003 Expedition

You can learn a lot from ' restoration ' or repair videos ...

Dead Dodge Garage has popped up in my recommended's lately

Watching Jamie go through his trouble shooting .... he recently was fixing a 66 Charger someone else had ' restored '

In my youth, I always preferred motors manuals. Chilton had a tendency to leave an important step out. All Data is a good source too, but like many, I look for a good YT first.
