Loved the "be cool" reference.. especially with the follow up "Nah.. we just shoot people here"... cant have to many Pulp Fiction references 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well allow me to retort.
Just kidding, I agree.
That must have been a sight, 2 rednecks in suits of clothes at a fancy French restaurant.😂Them joints never give a real man enough to eat, thus the pizza joint afterwords! Been the victim of that scam in the big city before😢 I'd love to see the bill for that deal😂 I'll be laughin all day thikin about you guys eaten pizza in the back of a Chev2500 pu in suits of clothes 😂
Came down here to comment on this after laughing out loud. You beat me too it. Mr. O., as always, delivering.
I love the little jokes, slipped in here and there ;) "Old Mr Floppy, that's not something you want to be called." You have a great sense of humour Eric.
You have me cracking up “Just kidding we shoot em” good stuff. Thanks for the video.
Ok. Fine. I’ll just wait here.
Great video. The wife unit was seriously laughing during this segment. She loves your very unique descriptions of things as you move along. Loved it Mr. O. Nice job.
😂 "unique"
if was having that work done,, there be a lunchbox going in.. looks like he tried & said............,,@@SouthMainAuto

Part II is coming soon :) ua-cam.com/users/shorts05zObyCG5ZU?si=v6nsgokS6CsXRCmm
@@SouthMainAuto MR O GOT FANCY ON US!!!! ..........excuuuuusseee meee....does it mean when we watch your channel.....we have to eat our ice cream cones with our pinkies out???
As a retired machinist & Tool & Die maker you have one of the most co-ordinated pair of hands learned over time that I've seen in years I highley recomend teaching in an industrial shop for teanagers and or high school level when you get the urge to retire Your so gifted and need to pass it along , God will reward you for saving lives and teaching the young how to help themselves in this ever changing world.....just a thought Eric!
The Dog is my favorite employee at SMA. He never disappoints.
Many of the parking garages in Manhattan, especially lower Manhattan, were built almost a century ago. Cars were much smaller and weighed much less back then.
I bet those 12 point bolts have made many mechanics question their life choices.
those mechanics probably said to themselves "wtf was Chrysler thinking"
I just did my brothers front axle unjoints, contemplating taking a match to the thing and walking away
I'm running to hf now to pickup a set of 12 point deep impacts...dammit!
Spent years living in Manhattan... a few months in Washington Heights, then some time in Harlem, then SoHo, and finally the Upper East Side. Funny thing was that despite all the traffic and constant construction noise, when living in SoHo someone had a some chickens and roosters in our building...you'd hear the sounds of the city every morning along with this rooster every single morning. Miss that place, but not enough to go back to live. We've talked a bit before, but it's fascinating to see the difference from upstate compared to the city. My brother went to med school in Manhattan and then residency in Rochester. Completely different New Yorks.....but the rust remains the same, lol. -- He now is a big deal in Southern California; soft as hell now.
Eric 0’s greatest hits of one liners 😂
Came for the tech talk. Stayed for the banter. Great video.
I'm with you Eric O all the way, people in large numbers at the same location at the same time walking in different directions gives me the creeps 😩
I need my personal space and plenty of it - thank God I'm a country boy 🤠😅
Pizza and beer with family on the back of a pickup in a big city:
It doesn't get better than that!
“Mr Floppy” “theres something you don’t want to be called”
Absolute Genius!!!!!!😄😄😄
I used to deliver buns for Wendy’s restaurants and I had to go into New York Cities like Queen’s and Brooklyn and I could never understand how anyone would live like that on purpose! I even delivered to your closest Wendy’s in Bath,I almost stopped by your shop to say hey but I didn’t wanna be “that guy” who rolled up in your lot with a full on 18 wheeler.
3 Free Tip Friday tips in one video. Outstanding!
Bonus tip for you married guys: wear gloves when messin' with gear oil. Wives, for some reason, aren't as, shall we say, enamored with the smell of 90 weight as we guys are.
Now I can speak as an old guy used to old soap technology, though things change, but washing your paws doesn't get the smell out. Not really.
And for the love of dog, don't get any of that stuff on anything that's gonna go in her washer! A smart man will keep an old, serviceable washer in the garage. Not that I claim to be a smart man, but I liked to up my chances of finding love in all the right places. I mean, it's bad enough trying to get jiggity with the mother of your children after she spawns them; don't kill your chances altogether by bringing weird smells into the bed chamber.
Free advice from an old guy. Even older than Eric.
No trip to Manhatten is complete without getting a "dirty water dog "--YUM !!!!!
Fun fact - Half inch is between 12mm and 13mm. May have worked better than the 12mm on some of the bolts where the 12mm was real tight. I've watched a bunch of your videos over the past few years and really enjoy them.
Mr. O, you were 30 min from me! I’m over the GWB in Bergen County NJ! I don’t travel into NYC much at all for the exact same reasons you mentioned. EV’s are a MASSIVE fire hazard! Could wipe out the entire garage.
Nailed it in one, Brian. EV fire in Luton England a few weeks backed destroyed the garage. The heat from the burning EV batteries is so great that the steel reinforcement in the concrete starts to melt and the structural integrity of the building disappears, and down it comes.
First two minutes in and it sounds like an urologist nightmare. Swollen nuts and a twisted hose. 😱🤣
Tool box nearly 4 feet away?! That's may as well be nearly thirty feet away!😊😊😊 I know how that is! Feel for you, I really do!
Just learned from the Richard and Teresa educational channel about the importance of cleaning the tubes. Nice
A restaurant that needs a suit doesnt need me init 👍🏻
I envy you , where you live. Where I live in South Jersey, it's becoming wall to wall people. All a PITA. When I was a kid, 70 years ago, we were lucky to see a car once a week drive down the road by our house. There is such a thing as "the good old days".
Where in south jersey specifically?
I liked Chatsworth, a small town in the middle of the pine barrens and only a few cranberry farmers
@@ricebike I live just outside Cherry Hill. Townhouses going up all over, not to mention the warehouses. Chatsworth is starting to build up also.
@@rjb6327 grew up on the west side of Cherry Hill... Just the proximity to Philadelphia that makes that area dense
Still gaps in south jersey to build on past deptford
I prefer the smell of new diff/gearbox oil to the old burnt up crap🤣Cheers Mr O waiting for the re-assemble.
Had to laugh at the thought of Eric in a suit, in the city, in a2500 H D. Mountain Mafia comes to town. Wondering to myself, WTF was he thinking? Then it dawned on me, it's a Thanksgiving thing, "Thank you, Lord, I'll be home tomorrow and I don't have to live like this every day."
Good thing you went out before tearing into the diff, that usually takes a couple of days for the smell to wear off. Glad to see I am not the only one who tywraps the shims and the bearings together. I learned that trick from Crawford Clements, way after he had retired and just piddled around doing what he felt like doing.
Enjoyed this one.
Several of my Fords suffered from crusty lug nuts in the PRMi. The last example was on my wife's Fusion. Dorman to the rescue. No problems yet as they are one-piece nuts.
May or may not have spit beer out with the shooting comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love your " story telling" and I knew you were gonna sing a lyrics to " blinded by the light" cracked up by a duece , another runner in the night !!!!!!! " Manfred man" hahah
Rust ? Ain't hardly any rust on that ...
Piece a cake..👍
After an electric scooter caught fire when plugged in to the plugs next to the parking spots for block heaters at the apartments next door, they took all the plugs out and issued a notice of no electric scooter on property and all EV's must be parked 100 feet away from any building on the property. I essence making so you can't park your EV on the property. The only guy living there with an EV (Chevy Bolt) traded it off for a Chevy Colorado within a week of the notice.
I've been watching some of your videos from 7-8 years ago. New ones are great. Definitely more comfortable in front of the camera.
Glad you like them!
I love the music that plays when you take The Dog for a walk.
I'm hopeful there will be some brake clean action later in the video.
The 'be cool' pipe😂 "just kidding we don't use that, we shoot people" - Eric O that made me laugh out loud
The John Madden of auto repair.
Always a good day to watch SMA
You are the best mechanic to watch on UA-cam
Eric you are my favorite youtube personality. Very educational and very funny.
25:00had me rollin. We would definitely get along 😂😂😂
Still cracks me up the Dawg has his own theme song. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you Eric! It’s a pleasure watching a master at work. And the commentary, hilarious!
so, your brother tried to push you out of your comfort zone. he was trying to introduce you to something different. variety is good for the soul and it's the spice of life man. LOL
I got a "kick" out of your description of your trip to NYC and I can sympathize with you! Nice work!
Thanks for sharing your hilarious take on high dining in the big city, followed up by pizza and beer in a suit. Sounds like a night to remember 😂
They don't want your Eevee in their garage because Evie's burst into flames
Eevee evolves into Flareon according to my kids. 😂
Thanks for the good repair videos Eric. You keep my families fleet of vehicles up and running on the cheap. Oh the power of the internet.
There are some good things on the internet.
So true if people can learn a little maintenance u save alot
Same here.
You are very fortunate to be able to have Eric work on your cars! I would give anything to be able to have Eric work on my cars! But I live 1500 miles away from his shop! 👍
Eric only works on my cars through the power of internet. I'm stuck being the middle man hahaha @@DirectCurrent4u
Always informative video. Remember if I can do it you can do it if you had Eric’s tools.
My great aunt lived in New York...she always used to send nice christmas presents over to us in the UK. She never married, maybe why she had money for nice christmas presents!
Slow day at work and was about to start looking for an old SMA playlist, and then the notification bell chimes. Perfect timing!
yet another educational and entertaing video love the comntary though out
Eric O making car repair fun again! Keep up the great work!
Glad you mentioned what I was thinking with the rubber mitts.
I use a extra long broom handle for both cleaning and seal installation. I've got a stiff rubber disc I screw to the end of the handle to scrape the inside of the axle tube as well. It's a jeep thing!😊😊😊
Not only do I learn awesome tips and tricks of your years of experience, but I laugh my #%@%@ off !
Thank you!
thanks for taking the time out of busy schedule to keep us entertained
Watching a lot of your videos Eric it seems the rust belt over in the USA is much the same as here in Scotland. Nuts and bolts are always a crusty shadow of their former self.
I have done a lot of these. The easiest way to get the bearings out of the knuckle without the correct puller is to put the rear lower 12 point bolt back in 1/2 way, stick a deep socket on it, start the jeep, and turn the steering to push out the bearing. I have also found that dorman replacements for those 12 points sometimes hit the axle and need to be ground down a little.
The newer JLs have the FAD front axle disconnect. The older XJs and YJs had the CAD.
Eric, you love the big Dawg! Shes a sweeeet heart❤
@8:57 No EVs. That's because they are prone to catching fire for no reason and when they burn, it is very hard to put those fires out, especially in a crowded garage in the middle of the city.
Something that the electric vehicle proponents don't mention when touting them as the greatest thing since sliced bread and the saviour of our world.
When did you people start becoming so concerned with water 😂.
According to a study by AutoInsuranceEZ based on data from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), EVs are involved in just 25 fires per 100,000 units sold versus about 1,530 for conventionally powered cars and 3,475 for hybrids.
@DD
Ok, then why do parking garages in NYC restrict them from parking there?
Been there done that stuff for about 30 years ( north jersey) hated it. Moved to sw Florida. Good luck my fellow rust centric mechanic
You went to Le Bernardin on 51 st. Yeah that is a serious upscale place. The EV’s are too heavy they had a collapse downtown a few years ago because they loaded too many EV’s on the roof of a garage. I was a chauffeur to wealthy people, they went to LeBernardin all the time. I prefer dive bars! Great video. My 2016 Wrangler had the front driver side Axle seals go 2 years ago under the extended warranty.
Good to see you back and making videos, sure did miss them and your humor.
When did I stop?
Everybody is getting nervous of ev fires in small places. I think you're going to see a lot more of that in the future
Definitely until the local fire departments can get a foam dispersal system setup on a regular fire truck that will put out these ev fires. Insurance companies are going to not want anything to do with them
Or is it weight?
@@earlestes8649Foam doesn’t help.
@@earlestes8649 gotta let the EV burn out... most places are removing exposures and let it burn
Fire extinguishers now exists for batteries fires...but they cost a hell. Better put the costs on insurances rather than on fire dept to carry a lot of these expensives extinguisgers....
Several years ago I bought a set of SAE "fits all" sockets and also a metric set. Every once in a while I blow the dust off them and pound one on a rusted bolt / nut. SAE won't fit, pound on a metric!:) The internal fascists are very sharp and grip like crazy. And I'm sure craftsman designed them to be pounded on!😊
Thanks for not shooting us when we make questionable comments!
rain man was complaining because it was 51 degrees he went and bought a heater and a heavy coat and hat
That tool box is 4 feet away, up hill, both ways, in the snow, during a Noreastah! LOL
Big Nasty, Thor, any Lisle tool! It's a great day. We want Vic😂
Bam Boom Splash In Your Face !!!
LOL !! Looking forward to part duex !
“ as always thanks for the post “
We work on alot of Jeeps, every time when we replace the front ujoints i always recommend replacing the wheel bearing, and change out the 12 bolts, to new 6 point.(aftermarket)
'No EV's' in the parking structures, are a result of them potentially going into thermal runaway, thus ruining everyone's day. Love the background music when you 'break out the dog'!

People? I was raised on the south side of Chicago. It was great growing up there. But today I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico. I have gotten to really hate people! Thanks for the great videos!
I love watching these and remembering my younger days doing my own work, now my hands are not as flexible.
25:07 we're with ya Mr.O! 🤣😂🤣😂
😏
I love how "the dawg" has its own theme music 😂
Thanks for the video. You always make them entertaining and informative
Glad to see videos flowing out. If you ever get tired of the cold and snow you'd make a killing in Florida. Severe shortage of honest and good mechanics down here.
Too flat.
@cgmoog Actually North Florida has hills, they pale in comparison to the mountains but 700 feet above sea level is far from flat
"Too big!" "Too big!"
Yeah...I've heard that before too...
...from my bathroom scale :)
I’m with you, been to Brooklyn twice this year and there’s way too many people! I’ve been fortunate in finding parking on the street for my F150. Obviously not much street parking in Manhattan!
About damn time. I’ve been waiting all week for this.
I like those axle shaft centering things. Its always a struggle to keep the long side axle shaft from dragging through the crap in the axle tube when pushing it back in.
Suit ... fancy! Great video Eric!
Man, you take care of problems as efficiently as a hit man! I reckon them parking garage people are worried about EV fires.
If you don't let them in, you don't have to worry!
Insurance rates are going get a lot higher for EVs.
According to a study by AutoInsuranceEZ based on data from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), EVs are involved in just 25 fires per 100,000 units sold versus about 1,530 for conventionally powered cars and 3,475 for hybrids.
@@DD-DD-DD Yeah, but how many of the ICE cars are due to arson? Kid pinches a car, runs it round then torches it to remove the fingerprints.
The other problem - that those figures don't/can't acknowledge is that when an ICE car burns it's relatively simple to put out. Deprive it of oxygen or fuel and out it goes.
When an EV battery goes into thermal runaway 1) it develops its own oxygen, so there is no stopping it burning, 2) and it burns as hot as hell, around 2000C, which can destroy the re-inforcement in concrete and 3) the gases it gives off: hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, as well as carbon monoxide are much more deadly then the gases from ICE fires. People need full PPE hazmat to deal with those fires, and people nearby need to keep UPWIND of the fire to avoid being poisoned. No wonder the garage operators don't want EVs !
Ask a firefighter if a fossil car is "easy" to put out. They are not. Full PPE is necessary for EVERY fire, so that's bogus.
Hyundai's catch fire by the thousands.
No, fossil fires are not mostly arsons, those would be classed differently for insurance. These are fuel rail leaks, mostly.
EVs are switching en masse to LFP batteries which are much safer and have other benefits.
You're falling for a lot of FUD misinformation.
Possibly, but they are also considered about weight. EVs are significantly heavier than a standard car.
Damm Eric, you make this job look easy peasy! Ahh, the power of UA-cam video!
Good project.
If you're ever bored and want a road trip, Bottisti's pizza in Amsterdam is the best I ever had.
nice one. look forward to part 2.
Thanks for this video Eric I am going to have to do this to my buddies 2010 Jeep. Lots of good info.
BAM, BOOM straight in your face! Got todays best laugh :D
Great video /a fellow mechanic
love it , you make work fun. enjoy your humor you would be a great teacher in a vocational school
Hero this man. Imho. Long time subscriber. And he still is.
Ah yes. The music is back with big nasty. Love it. Keep up the great work Mr. O.
Another great Video. My wife owns a 2021 jeep wrangler unlimited willys . Jeep just pass 10000km ( yes from ontario canada eh!) And having major tire cupping issue. Dealer said my fault for not doing tire rotation lol. I told them you can't fix it then I will. Put it on my hoist and turns out the front right u-joint clip was out of it"s groove so the u joint wasn't running concentric. I replaced the u joint and install the clip correctly and replaced the Firestone with BFgoodrich and never had any issues after.
Love your videos. You are a top notch mechanic!
Cheers

Where I'm from, cars accumulate miles. Since you use kilometers, do people still call it mileage?
@@stevenkerwin4041 lol were all mixed up here. You can say both. Mileage or Kilometers. Speed and weather is in metric but weight and length measurements are imperial.
Thank you for clearing that up. I'm a Detroiter, but my job is in science/metric.
I appreciate the crowbar with the screwdriver handle.
Eric,
Great video - thank you!
I cant believe someone put that brake hose on like that.
And I cant image you in a suit - in Manhattan

You totally got me with the do it like Micheal Jackson lol.
I’m actually about to replace my axle seals on my 2016 jku. Couldn’t have asked for a better early Xmas present!
Two comments. I do quite a few of these a year. To get the stuck carrier out, use the rag trick. Feed one over the top and turn the pinion, so the ring and pinion eat the rag. It will walk the carrier right out.
Second, get a long pipe, and knock the seals out from down the tubes.
Rock and Roll cafe on Bleeker 25 years ago or so. CBGB around the corner. Good time
I can definitely smell that job all the way in Indiana 😊
