I am trying to bleed the clutch on a 2010 tacoma 2.7. Every single how to video of this make model and engine shows the master cylinder beside the brake master. It is NOT there on this truck. Here are examples of how to videos showing the master cylhttps://youtu.be/Dn2WnaHlXfQ?si=_pnfMA35TtyyakLdhttps://youtu.be/0ZZmVji6CXI?si=Lrc6HEFzZz2k69EbEvery how to video I find shows the resivious and master cyl right there in front of the firewall, regardless of engine size or year. I followed the line from the slave cyl up the engine bay into the firewall... no way you have to tear apart the dash to top off fluid so wtf? Plz help. Pic is where it isn't
>>2686587Pressure bleeding from the slave cylinder up sometimes works. What sayeth Toyota forums?
>>2686587Are you able to see your master cylinder under the dash? I had a 93 Ford ranger that had the slave cylinder mounted at a pretty steep angle and it wouldn't build pressure while bleeding it. Ended up having to remove the piston from the cylinder and using a syringe to fill it up, worked just fine after that. I think there are some master cylinders (like my rangers) that are designed to be bench bled.
>>2685943If you have to bleed your clutch master cylinder you probably have a leak in it.Check the firewall inside the car and see if there is fluid running down the pushrod.
>>2685998lmao I know for a fact at least mustangs had entirely mechanical clutches (cable) until 2005. Wouldn't surprise me if other cars still had them too.
>>2685957Find your clutch pedal. What is it pressing?
I want to make a dehumidifier for a small amount of chemical/plastic (1kg or less), likely using a (thermoelectric) heat pump in it somewhere, if only to be more efficient than a heater. The pictured style of liquid desiccant dehumidifier is a design I'm strongly considering, though I imagine it will be more complex. With peristaltic pumps hopefully I can avoid corrosion. Otherwise I may make a dry desiccant rotor, or just have a self-enclosed box where heated air flows over the substance and back over the cold side.Thermoelectric isn't the only option, I could try a small compressor or try to make a stirling engine, but that's just making things bulky and complicated.Anyhow, my main question is with regards to heat pump topology. I was originally just going to pipe the cool fluid past the hot side of the heat pump, and the warm fluid past the cold side of the heat pump, but a lot of these diagrams I see have a heat exchanger before this (circled in red).Does this kind of heat exchanger make it more efficient? Does it depend on the kind of heat pump I use? Is the extra complexity worth it? I can't search for it because "heat pump" and "heat exchanger" are terms loaded with HVAC implications. This is not an HVAC thread.
>>2685144>Does this kind of heat exchanger make it more efficient?i'm presuming relatively warm vapour absorbtion thingy from the right in deep blue must be cooled down to make the vapour in the air on the left condense and vice versa, which is done with both the heat exchanger and an extra cooler. you need to actively cool and heat less with a heat exchanger so yes it will be more efficient but to what degree i'd really need more informationand i really hate psychrometrics, always have.
>>2686575>i'm presuming relatively warm vapour absorbtion thingy from the right in deep blue must be cooled down to make the vapour in the air on the left condense and vice versaYes, the dehumidifying action requires cold concentrated desiccant solution, while the re-concentration of the desiccant requires that that dilute desiccant solution is heated.>you need to actively cool and heat less with a heat exchangerYes but if you send a heat differential into a reversible heat-pump (like a peltier) and use that heat-pump to reduce the heat differential (i.e. equalise the temperatures) that heat-pump will act as a heat engine and produce power, not consume it. Obviously it will generate less power than is maximally possible, but it would offset some of the energy costs of the heat-pump as compared to just wasting that heat differential on the heat exchanger.Maybe it's technically more efficient but the process of generating power from the heat differential makes the temperature equalisation significantly less effective? If I had a good model for a peltier I could simulate it.

>>2685772I did taste, didn't seem off but not great either, it stayed with the ginger hop this whole time so I guess you could call it sourit formed inside the bottles as well and there is little bit visible floaters aroundcan you show an example of what you mean?
>>2685991Nta but brettanomyces infection can look like that and is sometimes used for sour beer. Does it smell of a barnyard (or band-aids)?
got an irish red going, all out of wirlfloc but that's alright. hit my pre-boil sg dead on, should come out to 4.7%
Bottled almost 10L of anise-cinnamon-molasses herb wine with a bit of ginger and bourbon vanilla. It’s still kinda sweet since I overdid the SG but the taste of the spices is pretty well pronounced still, a bit like sweet liquorice at first then a slight gingery aftertaste. 17.8% abv.Is there anything that will make it taste less sweet without making it too sour?

>>2682326I agree. My wife put her purse on a shelf that was on a shared wall with the garage. Right on the other side of that wall was our HRV. It was close enough that he keyless entry would work but it wouldn’t start. >>2682085No offense but I’m having a hard time buying your moms story. What make and model?
>>2684242>No offense but I’m having a hard time buying your moms story. What make and model?Toyota Rav 4. Maybe she had the keys in her jacket pocket, started it then decided she wanted to change to a different jacket. Its been a while back so I dont remember exactly what she said. All i know for sure is she went to eat at a restaurant in the next town over (15 miles or so away) and called saying she must have left her keys at the house. I found them and luckily we were having propane delivered by the co-op that is close to where she was eating. So I handed the keys off to Frank the propane truck driver and he handed them off to my mom at the restaurant. Lol. The perks of living in small town america...
>>2681978Even better is literally just push the clutch first and think about what you're going to doYou could even shift to a lower gear and still drive at safe speeds, not great for the engine but if you absolutely needed to stop somewhere else safe you could do it (e.g. if this happened in the middle of a busy major intersection and you wanted to get out of the middle of 8-16+ lanes of traffic before stopping).

any good deals here? never been

>>2685393I think 'nards is British slang for a scrotum, e.g.,"It's so cold, me 'nards have shriveled up!"
>>2685393Is menards like the bass pro shops or cabellas of a hardware store? I went to a cabellas when i was a young buck and never forgot it.
>>268539310% back. Lumberyard is reasonable, it's kind of in between a dedicated home builder's yard and retail. They're better than HD, Lowes, and Ace but worse than all the specialty shops. >>2686278No it's the walmart of hardware stores. Cabellas are a 3 story camping gear carnival.
Love Menards for building materials. Not so much for tools. They tend to have a lot of cheaper off brands, though that seems to be getting better. Went through the hardware dept for the first time in a while and they had some Milwaukee, Kregs and Bessey stuff.For actual building materials, they just have a ton more on hand than HD or Lowes. You can literally pull up with a couple trailers and drive out a few hours later with everything to build a home. No one else seems to keep trusses and big LVL on hand ready to go. They're also the only big box with outdoor lumber yards around here.
Is there a router bit for a dremel-like with these measurements?

Some advice, ask yourself if you really need something that thin and couldn't do it better with a table saw using the kerf width. Tiny bits like those break if you even look at them too hard. Make sure and have an extra or two on hand before you start.
if i have a fireplace, why do i need a chimney? can i make something like this that will let the smoke out to the side?
>>2668410you'll also need a ventilation port to feed outside air straight into the fireplace otherwise it'll just be sucking out warm air from inside the house and sucking in cold air from outside the house to feed the fire.

greetings i need to fix a second hand mower, problem is the deck belt keeps twisting and going off the pulley + catastrophically getting jammed between the brake and pulley.Today i dismantled the deck, checked all bolts and belt retainers, adjusted the tensioner and brakes and after all that it mowed for 5 minutes before it jammed again.It is this style deck, with the middle shoot, opposed blades and twisted v belthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vteXRZcaWWwDoes anyone know what could be off here?Is this just a pos design i should not waste my time on?
>>2684107when the deck has been used, do the bearing heat up? A symptom of over-tightening?
>>2684110as visible in the video the pulleys cannot be aligned by designit is a twisted belt that runs on two different levels>Are any of the pulleys warped or bent?ive observed like 1mm runout on one on the outside. this doesnt tell shit about the v groove thou>>2684131it cant run long enough to check, over tightening is impossible since the tension-er is a springthis might sound like im a dick, but im really not looking for general answers that google shits out. im asking about the specifics of this deck design since i know we have small engine guys herea new belt is 80€ and i paid like 250 for the mower, so dont want to buy one if its not the issue
You don't have the belt running correctly or you are twisting it the wrong way. Check the diagram and try again.
>>2684448i have, just like in the video. diagramm doesnt exist. with the belt V being in the pulley v there is no other way to insert it
>>2684059Is the belt you mention falling off a new belt? Pulling from my ass, maybe the belt is a particular angle for that 180 spin and you bought the wrong belt. Also get a crapsman mower, fuck whatever that is.

It's easy to clean so shit doesn't build up. All those crevices and grooves are a fucking meme. Double well sinks are another meme too.

I've always said I wanna make a pallet shack. Take free pallets at work and make a shack out of them. I did. For free. No power tools. All I bought was a box or two of nails. Used a hammer saw pry bar and a hand drill. It's functional. Mostly waterproof. Right now I put my garden tools in there on a bench.

But we'll see how it takes Wisconsin winter. And if I try to improve it, I'm gonna just rebuild it. It doesn't look great yeah but it's good enough one for a first attempt at making a structure definitely learned lessons.
>>2685116The main problem in winter will be icy snow putting a lot of weight. The flat design can't handle it so well. even a slight slope in 1 direction would be good, and easier to clean snow off off. IDK how you made the walls but honestly if you found a solid cover like plaster that you can paint people might not even notice lol. 3rd world problems require 3rd world solutions.

Posting this here since /adv/ is useless. I'm 23 and I want to work in construction/repair. What skill should I learn? I have only ever worked in a factory and as a sales clerk in a supermarket. I live in Belgium to give you some context on the union laws and job market. So yeah, I have no idea no where to start or what to expect. I also have no technical background whatsoever other than that it seems interesting to me and I would like to learn about it.

How do i minimize turbulence between two pc fans in series? I need more static pressure for my pc exhaust fans because the case does not have proper intake fan and have heavy dust filters. In theory stacking two fans together will double the static pressure when the airflow stays the same. As far as i know there should be some breathing room between the fans and you dont want to stack them directly on each other. But the question is shoud there be some kind of channels or fins between the fans to make airflow more laminar and efficient?
>>2681292So turn the exhaust fans into intake fans. It's as simple as flipping the fans over.
>>2681730>positive pressure>air sucked inWhoever made that image is kinda stupid.
>>2685420Maybe, but they are just saying that the fans pull air in to create positive pressure pushing into the case, and the other one has fans pulling air out creating negative pressure that pulls air in. The whole point that escaped your nappy head is that one filters the air going in and the other does not.
>>2681234if you dont give a shit how it looks, set up a 20" box fan with an ac filter and make a cardboard manifold to the front of the case...you definitely won't need a 2nd fan...keep the back covered when its off and dust wont be able to get in
>>2681440flip each of the fans so the exhaust becomes an intake and vice versaalso, take it to the stupid questions thread on /g/, this is a stupid question about technlogy

I'd never get one of these as I generally don't decorate at all, and storing it the rest of the year would be miserable.
