Nice to see you not skimping on the fluid film, pretty sure the shops around here lube with salt water and JB weld.
As a donating watcher, I just enjoy learning about cars. I'm not a mechanic just fascinated by the people who can do it. Cars were a mystery to me, well the inner most workings of them. It's a learning channel which I find very entertaining and informative. Keep u p the honest work and know your appreciated for your skills and knowledge.
Your "Bro" voice cracks me up every time and it's spot on to the stuff they say too. 10/10 👍👍
Move that noisey compressor into the office area. Tell Mrs. O it's for the recording quality. Then move your sleeping duds into the garage!
The second that air compressor kicks on, she will move Mr O. to the couch ! Lol !!! 😂😂😂
Poor Vanessa! 😟
And Mr. O thought that compressed canned air wuz cold.........
Wife: OMG PLEASE no UA-cam car videos tonight! I can't take anymore Hoovie or Doug or Cleetus.
Me: There's a new SMA video.
Wife: Oh OK. Eric O is alright.
😍👌👍
yeah, the others are more "annoying/spoiled/punks" than not and I don't watch them too often.......... I'll just stop there ;)
At least here you can actually learn things, pickup tips and tricks to make life(jobs) easier and be entertained to boot!
Lol, funny you mentioned that. My wife recognizes him simply by his voice now, as I've watched so many of his videos!
Sorry Eric I don’t think your a hack. I think you are one of the best mechanic I’ve seen.
I did a wheel bearing on a 2011 prius yesterday. Wouldnt you know it, I was able to get the bolts out with my 3/8 electric ratchet, and the bearing came right off with a slight pry of my pocket screwdriver. God bless Texas.
That is a true story, but holy hell mucho respect for you and all the guys who deal with rust. Thats a whole different ball game.
Here in deep South Texas I don't deal with rusted cars often last time one came in I struggled to remove them bolts had to take out the torch not fun
Did the hub bearings on my '07 Silverado when it was barely 4 years old, and I STILL had to beat them out of there with the air hammer (in the pre-Big Nasty days). Not much comes apart easy in the Northeast ... unless it's a catastrophic mechanical failure in an engine or differential!😁
You should've done a PT Cruiser for a RAW, UNCUT vid - we'd have had multiple expletives to enjoy. I call it the "PT CURSER". What a poorly engineered pile of dung. I swear some engineer built this car because a mechanic ran off with his wife ...
taxes mate, Albany seems to like to take apart the wallet (not that i have a problem with all the taxes, just some) up here. Then again sometimes the counties can get rough with property taxes as well.
smitty smithstone welcome to new york where they use more salt on the road than all four oceans and thats just for a 1/2 of an inch of snow eric o area gets pounded with snow so its 100 times worse than Youngstown new york. but maybe you just got lucky, after all, it was a chevy
"Crapsler Petrified Turd" enough said.... my buddy had one didn't make it to second winter before rims rusted past "factory" tire beads and all 4 were leaking like mad :)))
I asked why the hell he bought a crapsler.... (he drag raced for 30+years, Chrysler pro-stock, other vehicles and dragsters) we then agreed upon everything being total garbage now days ;)
old chrysler's is what i used to build. Ah the old 64 polara with the 426 max wedge that we switched out for a 440. Threw a rod in that car. Way to much lift for the springs my old man was using. Besides his third gear didn't match the power curve and he threw the rod before the new gears came in. Sometimes i miss the track... who am i fooling, I always miss the track.
know someone that has a PT CRUISER or should I say A P(piss) T (tanked) CRUISER (for a bruisin) Chrysler need I say more
You mentioned people called you a hack for how you removed wheel bearings. All I gotta say you fixed the car didn't you? Haha
I watch Because of moments like this 13:06
😭
Torque stick FOR THE WIN!
hey 50sKid! dig your channel too! yea, I'm a sub... but, I agree, torque stick is plenty close.
Sean Savage thanks man!
Folks sure do have lots of requests when they're not paying for it!!! "Build a separate compressor room". (Insert eye roll!)
Heh...back in the day, lightweight wheels were made from magnesium (which is why they used to be called "mag wheels" or just "mags.") But people eventually worked out that if you drive on a flat for a while and the rim kicks up enough sparks, they catch fire - and they're _really_ hard to put out safely (they tend to explode if you put water on them - then all the pieces scattered around start a bunch more fires.) So as far as I know, it's pretty much all aluminium or some sort of aluminium alloy these days.
All I can say is that the torque nazi’s probably aren’t as thorough as they say they are. No one “torques” every nut n bolt on their repairs. As you gain years of experience and wisdom you know what you can get away with. I call it my calibrated elbow.
I do. But I do mechanic repairs for fun, not for monetary gain.
Most things should be properly torqued, in particular wheel nuts.
Anyway, great job.. I got this done in my car as I kive in scotland and everything gets rustwd as well.. no way you can do these things with hand tools here.
Try that in aerospace lol good way to get fired.
@@ericschreiber1847 nah, good way to get sanctioned by the FAA
@@jonarmedpiandsecurityoffic9051 FAA doesn't step in unless there's a failure and the investigation leads back to say someone improperly tightening bolts that lead to a engine failure during flight. So yes, you'd be fired first as your employer wouldn't want the negative attention it would cause them. I know because I've seen it happen where I work.
eric o sounds like you need to build a special rubber room for the crybabies and stock it with burger king coloring placemats and bingo crayons, lol or pizza hut used to have nice ones too in the 90s. lol southern folks wouldn't make bank if they came here to do work and you be Rockefeller if you went to Arizona lol great uncut and raw dog video
Ohh and I’ve had a laugh this morning went to a regular customer has a 2009 Honda Civic who got towed last night for a suspected broken timing belt or fuel pump failure(breakdowns guess) how he came up to that diagnosis I have no idea. Car turned over but could hear no fuel and deffo no vrrooomm sound for timing belt failure. 5mins later swapped out pump relay and car fired in to life like a champ. I have a box full of relays collected over the years so gave her the option of getting a new relay or throw old one in from my collection she chose the second option. Anyway as she is a regular customer and through the family I look after 5 of there cars didn’t charge her. Lives 1/4mile away from me and 5 mins of my time. Think sometimes a no charge is worth it in the longrun (what’s your opinion charge/no charge)
Especially considering that car does not have a timing belt ;)
South Main Auto Repair yep it’s scary some of the people that work in the breakdown industry. By a fisher price tool kit then let loose on peoples cars. Things I’ve seen over the years will make you laugh cringe and downright shock you 😂
@@SouthMainAuto I'm from the South and I think your doin just fine!
rust is everywhere!!
you can't nearly find any classic barn finds because of Rust
At times it's good business.
@@SouthMainAuto I never worked on one of them I thought they did have a belt? Forgive me master I am but a part timer poor choice many years ago now I am just an MD with a mechanical fetish.
that was pretty quick. i just picked up a spray can of fluid film. never used it before but if eric uses is....it must be the beez kneez!!
Buy it in a gallon jug and get a sprayer, you will love it, trust me :)
Best stuff going. Im hooked on the stuff. Lol. Even got me a nice fluid film t shirt the company sent me. Great product
Menards now carrys fluid film..under $10 a can..
With all the rust you inhale I bet you don't have to take any Iron supplements....lol
I thought he might be allergic to the rust dust.
I think you should build a special room for some of the guys who complain about air compressor noise in automotive 'how to videos' that take place in a shop...
Shhhhh.... your talking to loud!
Jeez an 09 without ABS?Thats sad....
You should wrap your power tools in a blanket when you use them to keep the noise down. Lol. Just joking. Great job Eric. Favorite UA-cam channel ever.
Someone in the comment section is like.... “BROOO, YOU FORGOT TO EDIT THE VIDEO”
I miss the "bro" voice character!
Now, that is good. Ha Ha
Tell Hannah what I tell my nursing student daughter: I changed her diapers, she will be changing mine!!!😂
Hearing aids are no fun. After operating noisy tractor-trailer rigs, an abrasive waterjet machine, noisy air tools (impacts, grinders, wrenches) my hearing is bad. Glad to see Eric using earplugs and safety glasses. Interesting to see, had no idea those bearings included the studded hub. Ya learn something every day. Thanks, Eric.
A lot of front drive cars now a days have the whole hub assembly that includes new studs included. Much cheaper that way.
You are kidding right? Instead of buying a regular bearing for $20, you now must buy a whole hub assembly. They are never cheaper.
They are easier to install however, as you no longer need to remove the steering knuckle.
You didn't pay attention in Science class and I slept through my Spanish class. WHO KNEW!
Well DANGIT TO HECK!! You didn't put ear protection on the microphone, and now I CANT HEAR!!
😁
Hahaha!! Southerners!! I'm a southerner!! I'm gonna call the shop, and ask for free advice, now!! We'll fix your little red wagon!! And we won't have to douche it with brakekleen and kroil!!!
Cricket season in Michigan starts Aug 15th and runs till Sept 15th. No tag, no limit and catch and release is allowed.
Also I was once told by someone they could run faster than me if they were mad than I could scared. My reply was 'I don't think so because you'd be slipping and sliding on the crap coming outta my pant legs'.
Feed it taters Eric. I liked them bearings a lot more when you were able to bolt/unbolt them through a hole in the (GM) front hub. But oh well ya gotta roll with the changes. 17 min bearing, not bad.
I am going to step out on a limb, and say that you have done that at least one other time before. Great video Eric.
1 or 1000 times ;)
I'm not worried about your air compressor noise Eric O not sure why people complain about it your a mechanic in a mechanic shop
I was shocked to see the cv axle not rusted to the hub assembly. Thanks for bringing us along, an sma video makes the day better.
Broooo - you gotta get my voice an octave or two lower. Just sayin'.
;)
Like the raw uncut video's.
Love this man! More raw and uncut would be great. I can imagine people learn a lot more from these compared to others.
Hah ! ... That's the first time that I've heard an American say 'Aluminium' instead of 'Aluminum' ! Well done Eric. :-)
It is for my friends across the pond 👌
Just did a major service on a BMW 1 series 2.0 petrol 4 banger and to change the 2 rear spark plugs you need to spend a hour ripping the plastic covers,metal scuttle panel cross brasses and 3 metal injector lines off. Absolute chuffing joke. BMW wanted to charge the customer nearly £600 for it my bill came to £235. I’m a mobile mechanic now and after that I’ve just put the prices up 😂😂😂
Over here in the good old Uk we had a the Hillman Avenger total POS even the one called the tiger with the big V8 small block rover motor 🚘
The stoner makes a cameo appearance here and really wants to know “So, where can I score some of that Kroil aerosol, dude?”
Usually NAPA or Amazon. Definitely an aviation supply if you have one near you. Spendy stuff though
Jacksonkellyfreak Thanks, but it was a joke bruh. The stoner actually prefers PB Blaster.
Yeah, when you broke out the air hammer to knock the bearing loose, I was like "HUH?!"
I should probably mention that I live in Florida. 😛
I hear down there they take them out with a plastic spoon....
Sometimes you can pull 'em out by hand. Save the spoon for your ice cream. 😁
You do "SPICOLI" from "FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH", very well!
But, you also do an updated "SAM DRUCKER", too!
Lol
You really are a RUST MECHANIC! Everything you fix is rust in different stages of decomposition!
In NY the rust starts the day you turn the key from brand new!
I always thought those were 4 ugga duggas, now I know they are 3!
I hear ya about the was southerners talk about rust, but I do have to agree with you. I used to live in Michigan and have to deal with all the rust crap. Now that I’m living in Louisiana it’s totally different lol
I left a picture of my wife’s rusty crusty Subaru on your facebook page the other day. Connecticut uses the same crap to treat the roads in the winter. I feel your pain Eric.
So for the complainers why do they even watch the channel if they dnt like it but that just goes to show how much time some ppl have if they like to watch something they dnt like..keep the videos rolling no complaints here!
A room for the compressor ...what ? 😒 It's a garage... it's supposed to be loud and for those who feel the need to correct you about every fart stuck sideways they may want to start their own Channel 😁
Back in the day on the T bird they had polycast wheels to get them off a TSB said to loosen the logs and drive until they make noise
ewwwww "polycast" not just the t-bird had those....... penetrant while it was still hot from driving and kick backwards like a mule at top and bottom of rim tire ( with blanket or something over it!)
Ears protected, Eyes protected but your lungs full of Heavy rusty metal🤣🤣.
Great healthy job we've got!
Pfff come on Dan looks like all the cars you get are off the show room floor haha
Show us the rough stuff that comes in will ya, you know, the ones growing mold on the floor!
@@SouthMainAuto Eric if someone applies for a job at your shop. How many vaccination shots do they need to get?🤣🤣
DiagnoseDan well, TETANUS for one!! Maybe flu, ricketts, measles, and parvovirus too!!
South Main Auto Repair ROUGH STUFF?? Really!! I saw a blooper reel where he was shooting a video, and a dust particle got in!! It almost landed on him!! He is quick!!
Thank god for FCA, if everyone drove a Corolla, you’d be spending more time hunting and fishing.
not to mention I'd be broke haha
Well you won't hear me say anything about using an air chisel b/c I'm a born & raised NY mechanic and had the joy of working in rust belt of Fulton & Montgomery counties. Use whatever it takes to get the job done is my moto! Nice easy hub w/brg definitely easier than replacing just the brg. Great video!
We replaced my front driver side one 3 weeks ago. We had to beat it off. It took a hour. I need to get some of those tools you have .
Hey, Eric! How about showing us the torque sticks work reliably? After using the stick, you could show that a torque wrench set 10 ft lbs heavier actually turns the torqued nut. (That was a torque stick and not an extension you used on the lugs, right?)
even torque wrenches are not 100% accurate on the vast majority of wheels studs and rims!
why do I state that? because they're never perfectly clean, proper thread pitch, nor proper rim/lug seat left on anything, due to others ramming them on and off at all sorts of torque levels............
torque sticks should be "set" with one impact gun and held at the exact same air pressure for the most accurate torquing, but as mentioned above everything needs to be in "perfect
shape" which is almost never but off assembly line
The rotor hat area was clean until you sneezed on it. Lol. Get well Dr. O
I'm quick on the draw but not first. :-(
You may not be first here Glenn but you always be #1 in your mommy's heart
Do you notice a difference in brands of bearings? I usually try to buy Timken if I can, are they worth the premium?
I think they are but no here sells them local. I have had good luck with SKF and Moog also
15 min (wow) and 2 cans of brake kleen later.
Your Right Eric! It sounds like a shop when the air compressor is running Good Job!
1 minute and 50 secnds in you had that dejevu look on another vehocle you were taking the wheel axel nut off moment there I thought it was an old video of your I clicked on
compressor what noise. Its your shop its not like you need to build a special room for it, Like you said before your doing this so people can watch and LEARN, You also have to feed your family because even though you do alot of work the overhead is nuts no a days, SHop rebr insurance home food wife kids..need I go on people calling in for advise while you work...what you scotty now? lol
Oh when you said compressor comes on inoportune time reminds me when you said people were complaining of the car DING DOOOONG and the Dreaded PHONE and the people blaming you for your acid air and anting reinbersment for a new tire...Remember that from last year
Yeah that fellow with the bad air issue. Still laugh when i remember him.
I hear ya about rust. I live outside of Syracuse and just put a new rear bumper on my 06 Silverado. Without my trusty cordless impact wrench and penetrating oil, I don't think that job would have been doable for me. Oh and a sawzall for some of the brackets that wouldn't "cooperate". I watch some videos of people in Arizona that don't have rust and wonder how nice that must be. Gotta give her the old heat n' beat routine around here. I hate salt.
Sawzall? Try an angle grinder, or better yet for one hand operation, a die grinder for the stubborn bolts. I use a sawzall at work and find them hard to control with one hand holding the sawzall and the other on the workpiece.
No compressor so no die grinder. And I really need to get an angle grinder
Ahh Syracuse I used to live there cars rotted out became junk in about 7 yrs if you did not rust proof them , then it only slowed it down . Only thing I miss is Heids and chiefs baseball .
Great Video, incredible work, shame all garages aren't as good as you xD
thats okay, i've been yelled at and also called a hack, for having an easy time with hub assemblies. the last one i did was on a 02 malibu and it just fell right off. we dont use in salt in oregon so it takes along time for things to get stuck.
I'm in NE Ohio and I always use my version on "Big Nasty" to remove wheel hubs.
People were complaining about how loud your air compressor was?!? I have a 30 gallon direct drive, as in NO belts, that is LOUD! I usually don't notice when yours kicks on unless you complain about. Yes I hear it come on but it is an expected noise for a facility that uses air powered equipment...
A guy from florida had an interview at our shop in PA. I'm pretty sure he had a peek at some of the cars we work on and he said, "Flock that!". Never heard from him again! Lol. Guys fron the south can't hang with rust.
I see big nasty on the thumbnail I click fast lol
Finally raw and uncut let the curse words fly Eric O.
Well I'm a southerner but you won't get any hate from me. Seeing how lots of you NewYorkers either move down here or snowbird for the winter, we do get some rusty stuff to work on. And yes, in my youth it was a comedic and humbling experience working on them.
THOSE THAT CAN DO ,THOSE THAT CAN`T COMPLAIN GIVE THE WHINERS SOME CHEESE AND TELL THEM FUR GET ABOUT IT
Raw and uncut👍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍👍
hi guys, another great video, raw and uncut,,, splendid, cheers
My 2000 Navigator spent its first 16 years in Long Island. My brother gave to me, I flew up and drove it back to Kentucky. Took it for an oil change and the guy said, "wow, how did it get so rusty?"
I looked under there and if it had more rust on it, it would have also had barnacles and sea urchins! What do they put on their roads up there in NY?!?
Which came first the car or hammer? Love that saying SAFETY THIRD ! Or a trick Grandma taught me!
I'm impressed with the speed and quality of your work, years of experience I guess! One question: when you're using a 'bar to hold the hub as you tighten the center nut, don't the threads on the studs get damaged? (Obviously not or you wouldn't do it! But isn't it a risk?)
I have a Avenger SXT , that was a barn find here in Australia, 08 with 193000 klms every thing still clean and markings from factory and I have to replace the bearings from sitting for 5 years , I just wanted to say how much I am grateful on showing me how.
Great video! gonna help as i have to do the wheel bearing on a toyota levin bzr tomorrow
As a southern gentleman I say rusty trails to you.😁 I had a Pennsylvania F-150 (1991)everything was a pain.
I live in Upstate NY too and one of the first tools I get when I am working on my truck is a deadblow hammer. Of course I own an 02 Tundra. Much more rust comes off the frame, there will be no truck left
You mentioned Hannah studying nursing. There are some similarities between nursing and mechanics. Just different chassis the parts, ECU, wiring, pumps, cables, etc., are installed in.
I put my compressor in the laundry room in the basement Eric , and run a line out to the garage , works nice but scares the wife when it kicks on.
You shouldn't keep her chained up down there then!
haha, I do that when on longer home remodel/repair jobs. I run hose up laundry chute or through unhooked heat duct/boots. I have forgotten them on before overnight and of course it pumped up in middle of the night, which resulted in middle of night cussing call :))) whoops
I wouldn’t want that in the house when it blows up
I love your impression of the Napa cartoon parts dude...lol
If Hannah has to come patch you up “Welcome back to the South Main Nursing Channel’. 😂😂
Now you did it!! You said Dodge Avenger, sounds like it should be a cool car!
UNSUBSCRIBING!! again!!
I edited it! I must have been eatin a sammich! :-P
NO I DID NOT! Go watch again sir...
South Main Auto Repair fixed it, Dr O. Lol
South Main Auto Repair P.S. Sir is my dad. Call me ROADKILL! And, you have to draw it out, and sound dramatic, when you say it.
Sorta like "rrROOADKIILLLL"!!! KnowhutImean??
I bought a 1995 Dodge Avenger when it had 7,500 miles or so on it, it was about a year old. It was a cool car, a cool 2 door car that was fairly sporty. It was made in Illinois in a factory owned jointly by Chrysler and Mitsubishi. I enjoyed the car and my son ended up with it and promptly totaled it out. Yeah now they are just a bottom entry level 4 door sedan that is the least sporty car you can buy. Makes you wonder why Chrysler has been in trouble for years doesn't it.
I love torque sticks they work amazing Eric O
Surprised you didn't get a little excited or give a little sigh of relief when that CV axle moved nice and free from the hub when you pulled the nut. I was totally expecting that to be rock solid.
Love the "Full Metal Jacket" references. "Clean, perfect, Bolt smooth" LOL, Always entertaining Raw and uncut...
I think you spent more time cleaning up the rust then you did hammer in the bearing ! BIG NASTY for the win, AGAIN !
Wish I'd found your site sooner, would have saved me a ton of work! I am not sure who is giving you are hard time but I'd say ignore them, they probably work on go carts 🙂.
What? No slide hammer? Lol! Brake clean and Big Nasty in one video! Now that’s a true SMA vid!
Hey Eric, I have been watching your videos for about a year now and have noticed that you have doubled in subscribers, great job, I was just watching a video that you did in 2015, and you where decided that you reached 2000 subscribers, I can imagine how you may feel know, great job Eric👍
You are a working man, not a Hollywood wimp. As for the air compressor, I like to hear it run! Poop on those who don't!
Always a great video! I've used you vids and the information gathered to keep the 2009 carryvan on the road. Wish me luck on my ebcm replacement due to a C2200 fault (which I saw your video too) lol. I might try to open that EBCM up and just see if I can find any cracked solder joints or smoked electrical components. It doesn't look like anyone online rebuilds them that I can find.
I got news for the whiners that compressor isn't loud you have to holler over mine. Raw and uncut with BK BN and a carbide burr can't get much better.
Great video!! I really don’t know why I thought that they were pressed in for this car.
QuickFixHere 6
Thought you had forgot about the brake fluid! He, he.
Brake clean Steve not fluid.
Of course, my bad.
Hmmmm.... So the phone and the guy on the electric cart are show props... I get it now. LOL And you kept your gloves on the whole time :D Great video Eric. Raw and uncut and still good.
Why do people moan about your repairs or usage of tools, the result is spot on.
I'm not sucking up to you, just my opinion :-).
Love the Raw and Uncut co....I mean video Mr.O ;) Appreciate the different style!
Thanks Eric keep up the good work
"I can run faster mad then you can run skeered" Hahahahaha
