Rich i enjoyed the video my mother has the same car. what type of
butterfly is that you use in the video? is a CH a good brand of
butterfly and do they only make them in 3/8
Fixing and replacing my fords brake cable I’m unable to remove the headed
screws is it essential to remove these with a regular wrench?
That car is one speed bump from braking in half. .It’s very nice of you to
fix it for the owner though.. Take Care..
Thanks, again great video, gotta get one of those ?
With a name like you have i though you would appreciate this one.
Good eye yes there is.
Yep im sure you could loosen the handbrake nuts with the console on, but
your a kind man and let us see the jiggerly bits :-)) You got some smashing
views :), i felt like the car was upside down. Ahh rust with a hint of
metal ha ha :-), looks like its been through hell. Nice to have new parts
to work with, tell the owner to buy a bucket load of rust killer before the
car vanishes in a pile of dust 😛
I am doing the cable on my ford territory. Not easy, but a lot easier than
the escort. I get frustrated at all the bad engineering design I see. Not
too many smart people in the industry
It is a 3/8 butterfly impact wrench.
the body is badly rusted,too much salt on the roads there.cold climate?
It is a different one .
Rich, Nice job, you were lucky with those bolts. We have the same problem
here in Michigan. I hope that you replaced that sway bar link for the
people while you were there?
Nice work Rich , hope you got your tetanus shot? That East coast salt can
really eat up a car. Also it appears they had a broken rear sway bar?
I think one more season and this car is going to be retired.Shame because
it only has 80,000 on it.
I though my camera was a goner because as i was videoing rust came down on
the camera and jammed the lens.After using a little bit of compressed air
and gently pushing on the lens i was able to get it back in working
order.,,,it was a close call.
looks like that swaybar end link rotted off also i am in western pa so our
cars arent much better
is this the escort u did the head gasket/ head work or another one?
Ya but i bet those cables from the dealer fit real well.
What an intro! I was looking for Spock and Captain Kirk! Always save your
nut(s)! Great Video!!
Eeek, sounds like your camera needed a clear cover, or put a mirror on the
ground and aim the camera at it from its tripod 🙂 Dam good shots, i
suspect a better view than you had yourself.
Those cars take a beating up there!
Beside the sway bar link, I think I see the carpet at 05:00, above that
rusted floor pan. I like Escorts but that one has serious body cancer.
Is there a broken anti-sway bar mount on that car?
What kind of air impact is that, looks cool. Great job.
whos car is it ?
where is the brake hose that connected on the suspension?
Thanks rich for another great escort video!! I’m a rookie mechanic who just
started out so I love watching your videos for little tips and tricks here
and there! I have a 99 escort so these videos really help me out. I have to
see what’s going on with my escorts parking brake
