That intro is 🔥
Jesse deserves an award (sharp Jeep Spider gears?) LOVE the intro!!!
Ray no joke this is easily one of the best videos yet….great editing even better commentary…..perfect for both the Pro and the DIY guys/gals…..I’m impressed….have a good night my dude !
I don't mean this in a nasty way Ray but it's good to see you struggling it just proves to us diy ers that it's not just us that struggling and you are still filming not hiding it so people can understand why some jobs take so long and cost as much as it does you can't be expected to work for nothing. Great job buddy
I felt his pain i this video. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
I was so happy when the sensor turned! As if I was working on it!
I can assure you that as a mechanic for decades, we all had says like this. I'm glad to finally see a video of what it's like to be a real mechanic where nothing goes right. Now you know they earn their money.
Me too Paul and how he didn't swear Is beyond me lol
@@andyellis307 I generally don't swear much, but I was doing it for Ray on this one! Some jobs really need it!
Good to see customers from the old shop coming to the new shop for Ray to work on their vehicles.
Good mechanics are like good Drs. Trust is the reason you'd drive 2 hours to see them..
@@blacksheep25251 Yes.
Today, I drove 45 minutes to the vet that has been seeing our pets for 30 years. I had to put another 13 y.o. dog down. 😭 The second one this year. 😭😭 I won't consider any other vet to serve my pets' medical needs. 30 years ago, Dr. Patty was a 5 minute walk from our home.
@@williampope3531 Sorry about your dogs. That's sad. I put mine down I couldn't get another. So my Son did. He is never here so I'm raising his puppy..
@@williampope3531 My white shepherd died this year also,, but I did not even have a chance to put her down,, Kept hoping that she would get better,, and then I guess she just gave up,, She went from being normal to dead in about 2 weeks, My guess was lung cancer,, or some kind of cancer,, very traumatic for my family,,
@@williampope3531 I'm so sorry for your loss. We've lost four pets in the last two years, and our 16 year old dog is about to go. Its never easy. I hope the memories and joy help heal
Flogging needed in this order - Accountants - for cost cutting on production line assembly costs, Designers who will never have to do this and Engineers for allowing this to happen. Excellent work, Ray.
Exhaust fittings on EGR valves and O2 sensors are the bane of every DIY mechanic. The heat from the exhaust gasses and the harsh environment they have to live in will always effectively "weld" the threads to the fittings. I felt your pain every step of the way and I congratulate you for sticking with it until you succeeded!
An hour long Rainman Ray video? Christmas has come early.
Rite!!!❤
Whew this one wore me out. Good job Raymond 👍
Correction… An hour long *part 1* Rainman Ray video
J W, you stand corrected and maybe just maybe we’ll get part 3 🤯
The long format videos are making my day! Thank you Ray! 🍻
Agreed! Anotha!!
I got a bit dizzy watching this video then realized I was holding my breath as you struggled. This was a tough one for you Ray. I hope as you continue it gets a bit easier for you. I don't want to pass out.
Being a retired diesel mechanic of nearly four decades, I love the fact you show many times you must disassemble and remove components A, B, C, and D before you can remove or repair the actual problem, and that not every nut, bolt, clamp or connection is easily accessible and often seized or broken. Keep up the great work.
In 1974 I remember complaining there was no room in cars to work on. Ha ! Now I look back and dream of those days.
Not surprised there were people that complained cars had "no room to work on" especially in 1973/1974 as the stupid smog crap and hoses were introduced only a year ago at that time. Making it somewhat harder to work on land yatchs, but man I'm only 22 and I wish we still had atleast big engine bays with smog hoses in the way unlike the squished like a pancake engine bays that we've had at least since 1995 with the introduction of FWD shitbox domestic "EuRoPeAn StYlE eCoNo BoX cArS🤡". Lol At least a 1996 Honda Civic was still super easy work on being those are compact cars, but nowadays I think Honda went down the same route of Planned Obsolescence and "hey, let's make this as difficult as possible to work on". Lol
Here's a tip. The hottest part of a gas flame is at the very tip of the inner light blue flame. It appeared that you were holding the torch a little too close to the threads to get maximum heat out of it.
I was scrolling thru the comments and just noticed I commented the same thing. Good eye.
I have two points to make. First is, if you allow yourself to to join sympathetically with Ray through out this vid you will feel the tension of the risk he is taking and his persistence to resolve the dismemberment of that final sensor and his relief that his efforts were well rewarded. Well done Ray, fine entertainment! Secondly, if allow yourself to expand your time vision, Ray a few hundred years ago would be a mechanic working on a Stanley Steamer and 400 years in the future he would be repairing our space ships! Some people are born to do what they do really well. Father, provider and entertainer! Bravo!
Better than a plumber under the sink...wearing a lose pair of old trousers.
See my post. I must have.
The old torch-o-matic wins again have a great evening
Are you a Technician????
@@precisionautodiagnosticsre8109 why, sir, would you ask me that?
Ray, you have a mountain of patience! I have been watching you work for months now, and putting myself in your place, I would never be able to show the patience you have shown. Bravo to you man!
The word is Endurance too. : )
James- exactly what I was thinking too.
Did not hear any expletives either. I would have used up most in my inventory.
Ray , Your ability to remain calm and struggle through that O2 sensor removal with a methodical approach was admirable and exemplary . Having done work very similar to what you do for close to 40 years I could feel your pain all the way up to northern Canada.
We get way worse up here. Monday I spent 2 hours on 1 bolt . It was that or breaking it and never coming out
Hope that calm patience caries over to your being a dad to that sweet little girl! Kids grow up and learn all kinds of ways to try that patience!!! 😁 There is a reason why some species eat their young!! 😱
Same, I'd lose my shit the first 5 minutes of working on this car.. How can you remain calm and not get discouraged is beyond me? I know I am probably older than you (50) but even in my 30s I wouldn't tackle this.. CUDOS to you for the daily struggle you go thru and also document on youtube.
On a second thought just set the Hyundai on fire and collect the insurance and get a Toyota :)
@@Richie107😂
"Let's not fight anymore." I have never laughed so hard at one of Ray's lines. Bargaining is one of the stages of grief, right?
Loving the new shop videos, really pleased you are making it a success. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
I wholeheartedly agree. 👍
Have you noticed he sounds much happier? There's a joy in his voice that wasn't there 3 months ago.
I miss the doo doo phone call sound every now and then tho.
@@hariranormal5584 Ray joked on South Main Auto What's Wednesday he was going to add the phone and doodlydoo in post, at random intervals.
Think you should invest in a door closing mechanism for your workshop entrance door, make it easier to drive past 😂 some sort of dampener or spring.
A sliding door with appropriate safety measures?
@@stephenhookings1985 or simply close the door 🤯
How about a wife unit? Or even a child unit. 😌
I was thinking the same thing
Us had a garage door opener like mr o no more getting in a car 4 times super cheap versus getting in and out
As a former aircraft mechanic, I can assure you, aircraft maintenance goes like this sometimes, too. (not that pilots ever see that part) Good for you for powering through.
I worked on aircraft for >15 yrs. and am convinced pilots suffer from delusions when talking to the maintenance peoples. You fly, I fix
A&P myself. Literally had a pilot squawk "Oil temperature will not move until 20 minutes after engine is running for first start of day" I diagnosed the "issue" as a short between the yoke and the seat.
As a former aircraft design engineer, I thoroughly appologize on behalf of all of us about the shit we make yall go though (even though I can absolutely gurantee that you've never touched anything I've ever worked on), especially when it comes to the flying (heh) spaghetti monster that is every singly aircraft hydraulic system I've ever seen.
Unquestionbly one of the most painful teardowns I've seen you do. Your stick-tuitivenss wins you an award. For myself, I ask why am I so tired after watching this video? You are an inspiring person that keeps perserverence at the top of getting it done. Thank you for the video.
Ray you should get one of those electronic bolt induction heaters. They heat up quick, and it only usually takes a 10 to 15 second burst to get a fastener glowing red hot. There is a good one called "The Bolt Buster". Just a thought. I'm not a big fan of using a torch if I can avoid it, that's one reason I love the induction tools.
Been thinking of getting that tool, but very expensive
We have one at worn. Worthy it’s weight in gold.
Very expensive. How expensive exactly? Like $400 $600 or over $1K expensive? Looks like there won't be way cheaper but reliable ones for decades it seems like as they are relatively somewhat new.
A tip when using a propane or MAP gas torch, don't hold the torch so close to the work. Those inner blue cones are the partially burned gas, you want the tip of the inner blue flames just touching the work piece, don't smash the flames right up against it. It still worked, but that's too close.
loving the direction of the channel and your shop. Also, the longer format videos (over an hour) are awesome. hoping for more!
This was so anxiety provoking. The best video I’ve see in a long time. Thanks for taking us along with the struggle. I need to watch it again now that i know you got the o2 out so i can relax while watching.
Your struggles with the smog system is literally why my Dad stopped working as a mechanic. Big hands and tiny hidey-holes are not good work mates. He became a planner at Boeing. I have been watching your channel for HOURS! (Miss you Dad!) Thank you for explaining step by step and not yelling when I can't keep the flashlight straight!
i hope the person who owns this car appreciates all the hard work you have put into this car so far!
Hi Ray great video and a very honest video. So many times this 'one thing after another' type of nightmare only happens to us who are DIY mechanics! Other professional mechanics might have binned that video because of the problems that have arisen. I get that you don't want to be beaten and glad you have put it out there. Us DIY's can take a large piece of solace from your efforts and determination to find a way to solve the problem / problems with the car.
Hats off to you for such a difficult and inspirational video!
Kind regards,
Carlo
I completely agree with this. This kind of problem after problem repair has happened to me more than once.
Hi Ray like your video's, here one trick I found some where, for the o2 socket use a hose clamp close to the o2 sensor tighten the hose clamp to give a little support to the socket from expanding. That worked for me one time on a Rav4.
You need an induction heater with different attachments . No open flames and it's so easy and quick. When you first get one you will wonder how you managed without one
We used these on a much Bigger Scale to Remove Turbine Bolts--Power Plant Operations, a Must have in Power Plant Mechanics...
Neat idea, could have heated that O2 sensor until it turned liquid. It can't be stuck if its liquid....
his open flame burned the outer sleeve of hose already, no fire shielding blanket very dangerous.
This is basically nearly every time I have worked on my vehicles or equipment.
I don't miss those days of working on those cars that are so tight I'm so glad I'm retired now I
Your pain experience on this one definitely comes across here. The relief when that O2 sensor turned was palpable. Subscription confirmed and like given, you've earned it!
As a mechanic myself, this was painful to watch. Props to you Ray for cutting the wires and going to the point of no return. I was honestly releived when the o2 sensor broke loose! Lol!
So was I, I could feel the tension rising what a relief when it let go. I have had them come out with the threads still in place from the manifold. Car designers should be made to repair these vehicles after they have been on the road for a couple of years. Good on you Ray well done.
This is going to be so great. Having the sound of your family in the background is fantastic!
Much better than the disgruntled hissy fits in the background at the old shop. We will miss peeetaaahh though.
He is blessed
I’m heard the little ones in the background too
It’s so awesome😂😂😂
Ray, you are the man baby!!!! I thought for sure that O2 sensor was going to snap!
Good work Ray. You showed the public what we can encounter every day just doing our job! Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Wow now thats more like it (the struggle) I think that was one of the hardest RR I've seen you go through, keeping it real ray and not edit the bad times we go through I applaud you for this. As always love your channel and quality craftsmanship you exude until tomorrow peace
Hi from uk ray👋👍 loving the new opening to RRR 👌 Can't wait to see what we get into on this one but as always you will have it so thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍👋
If you add a hose clamp to the O2 socket to keep it from spreading you get an excellent grip on it.
I'll have to remember that tip. 👍
Great tip!
Sometimes if it's in a well or behind a heat shield like this there's no space to do that. Found it's better to just chop off the wire, use a good impact rated deep well socket, and hit it with the 90 degree impact. Loosen a bit, tighten a bit, loosen a bit. Like he did with that EGR male tubing fitting. Gotta be patient and work that rusty threads back and forth with some lube once in awhile.
Just a friendly suggestion from a 30-year veteran.
Get yourself a box of birthday candles.
Apply heat until very warm but not too hot and then apply the wax as close as possible to the threaded area.
The wicking effect will in most cases likely loosen the threads.
This is a trick that my dad taught me
Love your channel, Ray. Even my non-mechanical wife enjoys watching. This was a great episode - feeling the tension, anxiety and dread of what may happen kept me on the edge of my seat. A bit long, but I'm glad you didn't split this one up in this case. Well done!
Hi Ray. Living in the UK and dealing with rusted fasteners regularly, I invested in an induction heating kit. Very useful and safer than fire!
I'm definitely loving the in depth videos. Your diagnostic process is second to none. Great to see you doing so good.
It appears Ray uses the open door to bring air into the left rack. If you look you'll see the fan in the door. All of us are concerned because shit happens and running into the door with a car would be bad shit. So, Ray maybe a new door jam, fan hole or we told you.
Great content Ray! You have helped me a lot and are a valuable resource we all care about. We want the best just like a dad. Being a dad when you see someone you love doing something wrong is very hard.
Jamb.!
@@winksongs That's right! Proper spelling is my jam.
I'm always available to help a nation in difficulties. Now that I've assisted you all in the spelling department I'd suggest you stop electing orange faced, bald, repellent, halfwitted, nincompoops as president... Just a thought.
we had an '05 kia that went 200k miles with OG plugs, timing belt, and only one new serp belt. Black ice totaled it. Saw in the junk yard a month later with half the motor missing. The timing belt was still in good shape!
I have no how i found this guy, but glad I did. I'm old school. I like all of what I see.
You show great perseverance and no foul language. Keep up with the videos as you are showing the viewers real time issues. You seem to be doing well in your own shop. Keep it going and enjoy your new business and Christmas with familyy.
hi Ray been watching you for bout 2 yrs really enjoy your videos glad to see youre in business for yourself now hope you do well it amazes me how easy you make it look to get in tight places keep up the good work
👏👏👏👏👏 totally feel your frustration, the applause was for keeping the camera rolling through it. Great video Ray! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
OMG...what a vid. As ASMR, like I was doing it myself. Not smellavision, but my neck hurts, hands, whole body hurt. I seriously felt it. Awesome! When that O2 broke loose, whew. I can un-tense now. Thanks for the awesome vids. Your patience is phenomenal. Know you surely must punch the wall of cam. :)
That service door is an accident waiting to happen. Lol I can't believe I watch your videos pretty much 100% and it's enjoyable to watch. Being a maintenance technician, I like seeing ways to diagnose and problem solve. Someday, I'll be at your level. Take years to get there. Excellent video's man.
This is the Ray I love watching. Great diagnostics and logic. Excellent problem solving and risk analysis.
Good work on the O2 sensor that was one heck of a bugger to get out. Loving all the content and keep up the great work
It’s nice to see us DIY’ers are not the only ones that get to that point. Thank you for being the excellent guide and show us that this even happens to the best. Love the channel
That moment when you said "see how I kept my hand open so I didn't punch a hole through my knuckle". I looked at my knuckles and all the scars from previous hole punching endeavours and nodded.
I use O2 sensor socket to install but I never use them when removing them. I always cut the wires and use deep solid socket to eliminate the flex from the slit...(You made a Mountain out of an Ant hill!)
All I can say is you have the patience of a man that I’ve never seen before awesome job Ray keep up the good work all I know is that I would’ve probably ended up breaking something or cutting something and the shop is looking good👍👍
Ray I'm amazed at your job knowledge all the different parts of an automobile and these little things that you know they can only come from wisdom of age in training like to know how many years you've been doing this oh well. Keep up the great work contents great as usual and you sure and Hell know what you're doing as usual love your videos! As always mile marker Mikey Trenton Michigan.
With a problem like that sensor and working in some contorted position for so long, you have to be in a world of physical hurt. Another problem being solved by the only tech stubborn enough to stick with it until he wins. Great work, great video. Thanks
EGR problem very common in uk one of the first things we look at !
PB BLASTER! Is a decent penetrating oil and I use it often... BUT, I Just wanted to share a little bit of My nearly 30 years of experience as a Tech.. I have found that the best rust remover for situations like your EGR valve tube flare nut is ....
USED BRAKE FLUID...
Not kidding.
I have taken a pair of needle-nose pliers that sat in the mud for months and would not even close when I hit the handle with a hammer and after 2 hours sitting in nearly black brake fluid from my old truck they were usable with one hand and the spring that made them pop open by themselves was working properly after about 5 minutes of use...
In the over 20 years since I was given this advice I've never found anything that works anywhere nearly as well ....
Happy wrenching DIYers !
Such awesome patience, I would be throwing stuff all over the place. Thank you for all your brilliant video’s 🇬🇧❤
oh ya I would have walked outside and sent that o2 sensor onto the overpass
I used to work in a welding shop and one bloke was so strung when things didn’t go his way he’d be throwing grinders and gear around the shed.
Nah, I wouldn't have thrown anything unless like that O2 sensor like broke off in the manifold. THEN I would be one very unhappy camper. Doing exhaust manifolds is bad enough, but imagine being faced with now you have a job to replace that rear manifold. Holy moly. The job hardness level went from about a 6 to an 11.
@@brnmcc01 yeah I’m hearing ya,this fucker had a temper like a bear with a sore tooth 🦷,it was determined he would be better for site work installation which settled the shop down a heap,everybody on edge when he was around.
As I watched the beginning of this video I was thinking that Ray hardly seems to get many seized bolts on all the cars he works on. Then the video started to go south and I could feel his frustration and then relief as the O2 sensor came out. I really felt his pain in this video.
Good evening Ray. May the Do dee Do’s be with you.
May the doodly do's and clicks be with us all
Aye I miss em but these longer vids are making up for it
I am not a mechanic so I will always be in awe of what you have to go through to make a living. I can't imagine what you were going through just to get those things removed. Hats off to you
Ray, all I'll say is welcome to my world with regards to how the first part of the santa-fe job, here in the UK, corrosion/rust and a lack of room for access are normal conditions for almost all vehicles and machines. I've had nearly 40 years in this trade and jobs go like this almost on a daily basis and the customers rarely see or realise what's involved in getting the job done. As the saying goes "Every job is only a broken bolt away from an all day ordeal"
Ray I love your skill and attitude. Question. How much extra time on a job does it take to include you video taping?
?
THAT was an intense video to watch. I can’t even imagine trying to do the work. God Bless you, Ray, for your persistence and willingness to show these challenges on video. And thank the Good Lord for professional mechanics to save us from having to tackle issues like the ones addressed in this video. I would have blown my brains out before I even came close to freeing that sensor.
An hour of Ray? I'm down! Just let me make some popcorn first!
Im 10 minutes in and just realized this is an hour long
I like this series of vids where you are self employed - much better than the dealership ones - you are less stressed due to extraneous noise and phones and jerk coworkers.
once you heat the bolt - fitting whatever - tap it a couple times with a wrench or little hammer - helps loosen the nut.
Gotta love it when a bolt gives way after wrenching on it for hours.
You can never turn back, you must push through to the fray, onward to victory. May your car enemies never know your blood, sweat or tears. May you ride chrome and shiny, and if you fall may your spirit ride gloriously into VALHALLA!!!
well isn't that special!
I was so nervous just before that thing turned. lol
Ray I was feeling your pain just watching this video from home . Alot of people will never understand the difficulty rust can cause to a simple bolt or part when it comes to automotive repair . Another Great 👍🏾 video !!!
Great video Ray, love the new intro..
Just one thing.
Way way way back in school, my physics and chemistry teachers kept reminding us students the the hottest part of a Butane gas flame, Bunsen Burner, is just ahead of the tip of that blue part of the flame.
Inside the blue flame is still cool with unburnt Butane.
That was one intense day Ray...... Salute and Great Job buddy !!!!
Your manner in over coming objectives is amazing. I can still here my dad now saying some choice words to the Hyundai and auto gods!!! working on difficult engines
Nice work, had most of us on edge I’m sure. I think you’re holding the flame too close btw , the hottest part of the flame is at the tip of blue point.
You my man needs an induction heater, its perfect for stuff like this :)
Thanks! You've provided my family with great content and commentary. We've been watching for two years now and we love your shenanigans and commentary and you've inspired my wife and I to get back to wrenching on our vehicles again. Keep making them nice n'shiny Ray.
wish future cars would have the engine on a slide out so all these parts could be got to. Some FORD designer should be on that.
My man uses snap on everything except a rigid half inch impact, love to see it
Just some information for you Ray if you didn't know Home Depot sells a Lincoln Electric portable oxy-acy torch kit for $300~ and you can exchange them out for prefilled tanks at TSC etc. I have it for my small engine shop. The Acetylene cylinder is 10CF. The Oxygen cylinder is 20cf. #1 size at TSC for both cylinders. It cost me about $75 to exchange out both cylinders.
Months later I now find out why my rear intake bolts were not there. Take the throttle body off to avoid coolant leaks, brilliant!
I do not have the patience, or digital dexterity, for a job like this. I admire Ray’s abilities, while feeling frustrated for him. 😮
That was the most intense video Ray. Thought the sensor was never going to let go. Time to relax yourself
Exhausting day. I had been asked by my brother to do his on the Kia Sportage which is similar or the same. Your efforts have just help me make the decision.. em bro I love you but NOT TODAY THANK YOU.
Good job Ray! Cant wait until part 2. Don't leave us all hanging.
As many cars as I have worked on, I’m still amazed that they are made so hard to get to different parts.
One tip after heating, apply paraffin wax to the nut, it won’t evaporate like PB and will provide lubrication.
I'm sure someone mentioned this in the sea of comments already, but those little oxy/map torches are AMAZING for tight spaces. For someone like me who only needs a torch for heat a few times through the year, they are cost effective and less cumbersome than an acetylene setup. And they will melt steel quite easily! I actually just did an O2 on my car a few months ago and used it. Too bad I buggered up the threads and had to tap them out....
Great Vid "" I just went through the same issue on my Granddaughters car, I just cut the wire and used a 7/8 " x 3/4" drive deep socket and a lot of prayers and it worked.
driving past that open door makes me so anxious especially with bigger stuff..... I hear scraping and crunching every time... in my soul.....knowing you took it out....lol
Not only was that sensor damaged inside, it was bent on the outside, you could see it swivel as you undid it.
I have the same O2 sensor socket. Was going to pitch the thing, and found out that all I needed, was to add a stainless steel hose clamp, so the gap in the socket did not spread. Some people round off the corners of the sensor, and by adding a hose clamp, it give you something to grip on to. Great video!
Ray, in my shop we have used every lubricant on the market for frozen bolts until we found Kroil penetrating oil. This stuff is remarkable. I disassembled a Hemi engine that was sitting underwater in the Mississippi River for over 15 years. Sprayed it down with Kroil let it set a few hours sprayed it down again did this three times. Then using an impact tore it down using an impact. Used the heads and bare block to make a coffee table. Get me your address I will send you a can of Kroil to try. Take care my friend, say Hi to your lovely “Wife Unit”
Sometimes when shit isn't going to plan, walk away take 5 minutes and try a different attack method. Good to see you persevering.
I have been where you were on that sensor, there was a sigh of relief when I saw it turn, I can relax now.
Makes my BMW look easy to work on. Enjoying your channel Ray. Learning a lot.
I found myself straining along with you and tensing up just watching.
I like & enjoy your stuff, & being originally being from Michigan, breaking parts loose from rust & salt parts is not fun. But your using the right stuff on these Northern cars, & you will need to heat & spray more than a Florida car. Have a nice Christmas & keep Praying for God's will.
