So what is the purpose of having Nicole Fisher and Gloria Garcia working for your company? are those two girls anti-Customer Service does Astro even consider Customer Service?
👀
I'm here because it's a SMA video
got to get our sma fix for the week better than drugs i swear long time member got the coffee cups tools but no sticker ugh lol
I'm here,to support Dr. O and his amazing work. 😊
I like the "You don't even feel guilty going to church Sunday!" bit at the end LOL
what does that sentence mean? is it a reference to some movie?
@@lordjaashin assuming it's because you didn't have to curse while getting the bearing out because you have the fancy astro tool.
It's hard for a man to speak to God on Sunday while Sundays are basically the only day he has to work on his car
I'm a long-time SMA subscriber. Bought an Astro LED light for home garage use a few years ago after seeing it on SMA - I love it. Of course, now it's become the "family flashlight" so I'll probably need to buy a second.😁
I've used this technique a few times. My recent Snap On flyer had some overcomplicated contraption, one for Ford and one for Subaru. They were like 800 bucks each. I see these having a limited life span in a pro shop, but the simplicity and cost are superior.
SMA makes it look so simple....... lads and gents the great MR O!!!!!👍
Smartest move Astro Tools could ever make is getting hooked up with Eric O. If Eric says it's good you can take it to the bank !
I have one of these Astro Pneumatic Nano's it's a fantastic tool. I was able to do a thousand-plus dollar timing chain service on my car with it and I don't think I could have done it without it...the tensioner was really stuck and on the firewall side of the block.
I wanted to say that hitting it with an hammer after it cracked loose would be enough.. but you are to honest haha nicely played sir!!
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Love your vids 50 % off the time all the time 🥳
Eric and mechanics across the rusted hills of NY know the struggle. Steel hub, aluminum knuckle + 6 month's of road salt is junk
The real problem (besides the criminals spreading salt) is that the manuf wants it to be a failure. A coating of anti seize on the hub would protect it for life, but, no. That's doing something right.
It should be federal law that all fasteners exposed to heat/water have anti-seize applied from factory.
@@TheGuruStud That'll jack prices up more. Also antizeizing them all when most will probably never be undone is kind of a waste IMO. It would be nice if they did at least key ones though.
Regardless it should no way be a law. If a company decides to do it and succeeds all is well. Additional government fiddling is pretty much never the way.
That being said if most manufacturers weren't s-bags, right to repair wouldn't need to be a thing either, so....
Kind of rambling.
Just did this method on my Mazda CX-5 for both front bearings.. worked like a champ! they were stuck on good too..
Eric O's the MAN.... I always learn something new watching his videos.
Even when your hair is grey “ you learn something new everyday “ 👍
Swearing optional.
Only thing I don't like about it is you have to pound out a stud, which can be a pain in it's own. Unless I'm missing something.
Astro needs to up the production of the thor ive been waiting for 2 months now and it's still on back order
Jersey tool had them in stock today
@@andrewgonyou9903 I'm going to check them out right now
@@bplotts1 Thors are in stock now but definitely sell out fast.
Yep!! Eric O is the only mechanic that when he says...."TRUST ME" I will TRUST HIM!!!
Speaking of Astro, you guys need to make more bits for the Big Nasty air hammer. It was very hard to find a long (~18") bit of the right shank diameter, and even then the one I eventually got had to be ground down to fit correctly.
Yup, working on that!
I got an AJAX branded one because it was available
@@andrewgonyou9903 So did I, strangely, as a special online order from Walmart! It didn't quite fit, but I ground down the shoulder near the flared neck and it works OK. That one is a spade chisel, I'm still looking for a long version of a narrow hammerhead.
@@AstroTools You can't find this bolt kit anywhere. Out of stock on Amazon & don't know when it will return?
Astro should open a store on Amazon (Canada too) for the home-gamer...
They already have
Very nice. I could have really used this tool last year when I was removing the hub bearing to replace the rear wheel cylinder on my 92 Cavalier. It was the original hub and it did not want to come off. I finally got it off but spent a long time doing so and with a lot of swear words added in. I will definitely pick this up when it comes out.
You could try just a regular bolt and a nut and if you're feeling fancy some sort of padding so that the bolt wont leave a dent. I've used this method with just regular bolts and nuts and it works great! Instead of a boring chore bearing replacement is now way more enjoyable.
I'd purchased some Astro Tools stuff previously, but didn't really search it out as a first choice until I saw Eric use them on his channel.
What? No BIG NASTY needed? I'm amazed! Love SMA & Astro Tools!
Mr O has a lot of dedicated followers, good idea using him to demo a tool.
What's up with the Thor air hammer? You still making them?
Agreed and seconded. Where are the impacts and hammers? Been outta stock as fast as they go in on Amazon and haven’t come back in eons. Whattup?
@@monkeywrangler5200 I got my Thor impact wrench on summit racing it's cheaper over there
I really want to see how well these work on a Subaru rear wheel bearing, like the ones found on an '06 Outback. Those bearing assemblies get horribly stuck, I had to buy extra hearing protection because of how much time I spend using my air hammer on them.
(I live in Maine, btw. I thought my 2017 would be easy to separate, but salt belt rust proved me wrong.)
I tried this method and every other one I could find on the interweb when replacing both rear bearings on my 2017 Impreza. Nothing worked. The hardened grade bolts I used like this video BENT. I even borrowed a "Hub Buster" from a neighbor. Nope.
After spending a whole weekend researching and trying methods that failed, I gave up Sunday afternoon and started to remove the knuckle to take in to my mechanic to press it out. Removing the knuckle took about fifteen minutes.
When I had it all loose except for the parking brake cable, I had a thought. I placed the knuckle with the bearing facing down on two jack stands supporting the backing plate. I threaded the long pressing bolts (I had bought extra) through the knuckle and into the bearing from the back side. Then I hit these bolts with my four pound hammer to drive the bearing downward and out of the knuckle. The bearing popped loose on the third hit.
I went straight to this when I tackled the other side and had the old bearing out in less than an hour from jacking up the car to ready to install the new bearing.
or a '16 crosstrek 🤦🏻♂
I bet the bearings will still separate on those.
Southern Ontario resident here. I just ordered a set and will try on my 15 outback. Going to try on the rears in the next week or so. I did both fronts 2 months ago. Biggest Pita. Only thing that would get them to budge was a 10lb sledge. Tried a bolt then a hub buster. The only result I got was a separated bearing. Then the 10lbs sledge showed up for work. 5 min of angered post setting hits and it budged. After that it was easy. I drove a cold chisel between the spindle and bearing assy. Dropped right out. Definitely not a job if your worried of brute force. I also wish I had big nasty as a backup.
@@joelveilleux98 don't forget lots of anti seize compound on the new one where it interfaces with the knuckle/hub whatever you wanna call it. Makes them easy out the next time around.
@@joelveilleux98 Please report back with your results.
MY PROCRASTINATING DAYS ARE OVER SINCE WATCHING THIS AWESOME UA-cam CHANNEL! THANKS MR. O 👍 FROM MICHIGAN THUMB RUST BELT!!!! 🔧 🔧 🔧
What the?! I thought this was SMA! 😂
AstroTools: You can thank Eric O for the sales of two of the 40SL lights, one for me, one for my son. Had them about 3 years now, no issues.
ERIC O and ASTRO tools for the win. Looks like a great tool we will see. Eric will definitely attempt to destroy them for science of course 😉 😀
Used this same method recently to pop off stuck rotors using a couple bolts and nuts from TSC.
I tried this with galvanized bolts and nut from my local hardware store. Stripped on me (cheap stuff). Ram 1500 has a terrible knuckle to attempt to do this. Hard to find a flat surface. Anyways used an air chisel and dug into the knuckle a bit, enough room for a regular chisel and a maul. Not ideal and I would have been pissed if I paid a shop to do that. But the damage was done by yours truly, everything mated up just fine with the new hubs went with SKF both side. It was a learning experience, I was maxing out at pads and rotors previously, which I've become quite good at over time. Live in the east coast of Canada lots of rustys and crustys up here commuting. Ever use a hydraulic ram between the knuckle and hub?
What a great idea.
I was always afraid of getting caught beating off something that did not want to be beat off in the first place.
that's what she said!
You could definitely get arrested for that.
... and that's why you need to go to church on Sunday
The salt doesn't stand a chance
Got to have those because without the foot it is hard to keep straight
That little SAID WAS A WHOLE BIG BUNCH 1000 POINTS Mr Magoo Milo, Maine 05 05 2023
Tried something like this on a dodge 2500 and the unit bearing split in half. I was already expecting it though.
Just bought this set 78834. Thank you Astro Tools & Thank you SMA!
Thank you @South Main Auto Repair LLC & ASTRO TOOLS! This tool kit works great! Just replaced both rear hubs on my 2013 Fusion. Knuckles are aluminum and the Hubs are steel. We know how that goes!! This simple, yet effect tool & method works like a champ. No more beating them out with a sledge hammer for me! I worked as a Ford tech. from 2006 - 2013 and I sure could have used these back then. Did dozens of Hubs to earn my living & had to Air Hammer & Swing on them just to get them to budge a little. This kit is so graceful. Lord Jesus, I am so thankful.
A Technician has to work faster.
If you use book time and have to monkey around. You're working harder for less.
I devised a method when I was a first year apprentice.
Bought a specific hammer. Bang bang bang.
Then rebuild it.
In those days.
these didn't work too good on my impreza, the PCD on the hub was too tight effectively push on the knuckle
I always leave one of the hub bolts halfway in, put the socket with extension against the control arm or frame. Get in the car and turn the wheel
#Boss
Thought for sure I found an SMA video. Nope, Astro Tools. Subed to them.
Someone stole AvE’s act! Some of us still have not forgiven Denis Leary. Just sayin…!🧐😎😜
When I order the Wheel Bearing I also order the backing plate but you need to do the job today.
Some GM bearings have a slot so I use a 3/4" bolt by hand and it only takes a turn to bust it loose.
I'm outside Utica so I know your pain :-)
that tool looks like a bolt and nut
Looks can be deceiving.
can there be a "BETTER" commercial? i doubt it,,real world, real job, real tools.
Great,
Made some jack bolts for removing bearing and sprockets on industrial equipment. I just used a smaller nut, like a flange nut to press against.
nice someone's brain's earned some money.
Good job marring the inside of the hub and causing every bearing that gets put back into that spindle to fail prematurely.
Tried a few different tools, should have bought this one, but I am about 3/4 of the way through the hub cutting it off 😅
I tried your method I learned from another mechanic on youtube that did the same thing and it worked.
What? No beating, and no torch?? Are you SURE this is South Main Auto? 🤣
Not that you really need them, but where do you get the little end caps, you label them "foots" in the drawing, to place on the end of the simple hex-head screw that you can buy in any hardware store?
Currently unavailable on Amazon.
Take my money......where can I purchase this
Seen you using your own bolt to do this a long time ago, seen this tool on Amazon and got it 6 months ago, haven’t had a seized hub since. Maybe one day , lol
If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you Handy Dandy. 😎
What a guy! Awesome vid. I love your vids.Say hi to miss O.
Ingenious, but a slide hammer works also!
what are the feet made of? seems like these are sold out everywhere. couldn't I just buy a bolt and nut?
I don't want to feel guilty going to church Sunday.
I wish I had that when I replaced the hubs on my Subaru....
guys and gals would that work on the dodge ram 4x4's bearing stuck in the thingy wow i think i need two sets
I've used this method as a last resort and now it's my first resort. It works.
Waiting on hammers and impacts to come back in stock. Much like this, easy choice to buy! When they coming back?
Thor impacts are back in stock currently, but do sell out fast
@@AstroTools Can't for the life of me think of why😆
02:10 "no swearing" well what if you just want to?
I would rather watch Eric O beat on it with big nasty for an hour. Cheers
Very cool bro. Now it's gonna be a snap.👍👍
Viva SMA
Scotty Kilmer said only stupid people do this
Thanks for this video great idea
You are so Full of it your eyes are Brown, the Dollar is Dying!
This is an LLC comment with optional ts to pronounce.
I never feel guilty and Sundays are for sleeping in.
I’ve spent many with many different techniques to get off a corroded hub and this looks amazing. I spent 1.5 days trying to get a ford aluminum knuckle off.
That sounds fun
I finally secured the famous Astro 1894 Thor impact gun! Thanks to Eric O. or else I’d never have known it exists!
Will this tool work on Asian cars and trucks let me know thanks
I like it for the FN awesomness!
i wish i knew it the other day when i broke the reverse hammer;D
A beautiful thing!
Is just a bolt and a nut can buy any hardware shop lol
I know thats right, south main auto is the channel
He is the best mechanic in the world. I actually have purchased one of your products solely because he used it. It's the Astro 52SL flashlight. Paying $50 for a flashlight is insane but it's been worth every penny. It was a life saver when the power went out too.
How do I buy ? Can’t find them on the internet
Funny they’re out of stock.
What’s the impact he’s using ?
When will the 498K be available?
I still feel guilty going to church
Thanks ! Excellent!
Thank you so much for this!
I did it that way on the rear of a Grand Caravan that lost rear wheel and 4 of the 5 studs broken, so the slide hammer method wasn't going to be a good option without punching out more broken studs and finding more bolts and nuts
What episode is this from
I tried renting it with a manual puller a hydraulic puller nothing worked I heated it with a torch...wooww great tool I bought it for $40 canadian Yoolon 78834 Hub dismantling tool and in 5 min it was was removed it's wonderful thank you for the advice and I love your simple and easy video thank you
Might I ad no throwing of tools.
currently unavailable on amazon...definitely need these for the Rochester weather!!!
It's a miracle.......
You’re the best!………
Great video thanks for the info
Amazing video thanks for the profesional tip.!!!!
