I was worried about what it would cost to get my leaky car sunroof fixed. I took a chance and watched some related youtube tutorials. Turns out cars like mine have a sunroof drain on each side and they get clogged.

I just ran a piece of scrap wire down each drain and now when I pour water down the sunroof gutter, I can see the water running down the drains and dripping under the car doors.

That's what "Youtube university" is for, not for proving that the earth is flat.

I drive a #Jeep, so I am constantly repairing something. I recently replaced my axle shaft. The new one came without the lugs pressed in, so I bought a tool to seat them. For weeks, I battled codes and ABS issues. There was no way I was taking the wheel back off, so I tried everything under the sun.

When nothing else worked, I finally removed the wheel and inspected the situation...only to find I had not fully seated a stud. It was hammering my wheel speed sensor. #notamechanic #oops #cheap

My BB has been dead shot, so it was time to swap it. What bugs the hell out of me is that I have Deore crankset with SLX power meter left arm and it doesn't fit with standard 3 spacers on 68mm BB shell (axle is to long). I had to put extra spacer in, so I can preload the left crank arm... #Cycling #NotAMechanic

๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ› ๏ธ They say I'm not a mechanic, but with a little creativity and a roll of duct tape, I can fix anything! From broken handles to leaky pipes, my "mechanical" triumphs are proof of the power of duct tape.

Check out my profile for some photos of my latest fixes, and let's celebrate the ingenuity that comes with a simple roll of tape! ๐Ÿ˜„

the dread of having a bunch of #bikeWrench-ing to do that's all stuff i've done before but that's also all super easy to do wrong and not realize it until i'm 50km from home
