Nothing like a nice rusty exhaust video to start the morning. Tell the guy you'll give him his money back for the air.
I got literally the exact same parts for my Nissan Altima, and I didn't even read or see your part's list. Learning from UA-camrs really helped me hone the ability to work on my own car, so I really must thank you for the help!
Love your videos! I'm a retired mechanic who still messes around at home , l have nice little shop with a lift. Was passing through your neighborhood last week on I-86 on my way home from Massachusetts to Michigan, yeah the rust state! Believe I seen your brothers shop along the way , I figured you were down there somewhere also, I waved and drove on. Carry on with the great videos and nothing worse than spoiled air!!!
welcome back Eric o. again sorry to see Hannah gone . she did a great job in your videos.
I bet Eric misses her too. I wonder how many times he caught himself saying "Hey Hannah, can you... oh wait."
ha ha ha . yeah really. maybe he'll put mrs. o. to work more.
Hannah will be missed, great banter between you two, to bad josh wasn't in more of the vids.
Free air, you don't see that anymore, your videos are always entertaining. Thank you sir.
Just to show how relevant this video this; thank you for posting this. Like many other Altima owners, this is now on my immediate todo list for my car. All the other videos under "2014 Nissan Altima Catalytic Converter replacement" show numerous entries to replace the manifold in the front of the engine, not the actual converter. Thank you for making this, THIS answered my question of how to replace this on my car.
just wanted to let you know i had the same experience with my searches and after seeing this video i decided to call a nissan dealership. they confirmed there are 2 catalytic converters on the 2014 nissan altima. bank 1 is connected to the exhaust manifold. bank 2 is the one replaced in this video.
"Your air ruined my Wheels" The life and times of a small business owner, coming to a theatre near you soon.
Should have offered the guy a refund for the free air like you do with the people who complain about a free video.
Fuck off
@@BigFurryCat are you the guy who didn’t get his refund for free air?
🤣
@@BigFurryCat Do you think it is possible for you expose your butt hurt any clearer??
Its like people that give a thumbs down. If you dont like the video do not watch and move on. Its free and helpful to many people.
maybe they expect bikini clad dancers in the background go figure
This answer always fascinates me..How do I know if I like a video before I have seen it?
Eric, the company that makes all those tap and die sets and the rethreading kits that people rebrand is LANG. They make a ton of stuff that gets rebranded by everyone.
I guess everyone has a bad air day from time to time.
Thanks for the video, Eric!
You are an artist with that torch Eric ! If you could figure out a way to rig up a shade on your camera I would love a lesson on how to "nip off" a rusted nut without cutting the stud like you show in your exhaust manifold videos.
I may have to stop watching this. I keep seeing good tools and have to go buy them. The light that you have there is very bright and I like it that it is adjustable for brightness. Also had to get the scraper. Thanks for the good videos.
Corrodious the god of rust was watching over you on this job.
Eric great to watch your video this morning i have been flooded out of my house since Sunday because of hurricane Harvey and watching your video gives me some sort of normalcy thanks keep them coming.
i worked in 3 garages in my life .one close to that was a gal wanted to sue the city for getting a flat in town . i repaired her tire and told her it would cost about 1000 bucks to get a lawer for a 15.00 repair. i asked her what ever happened to bad luck. your story made my day thanks . by the way , i used to live in up state n y . i like your vids.
Kids off to college A +, catalytic replacement A +, Eric O. A + mechanic. I love the SMA Channel.
Eric O you have cursed me. I'm in process of replacing water pump gasket and every step I find myself asking " would that be good enough for Eric O? Damn you! LOL, I'm teasing. I have learned so much from your videos and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us common folk. Another great video. Thanks.
Thanks Mr O. Learn something new every time I watch your vids.
You should have told that guy that the reason his wheels corroded was because he doesn't rotate the air in his tires regularly. Must be done every 4000 miles.
AND the blinker fluid MUST be changed every 1000 miles!
Incorrect sir, you HAVE to replace your winter air with summer air and vice versa to avoid wheel corrosion!!! 😂😂😂
@@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032 Oh that's rIGHT! I totally forgot about that!
The firing order for a 1998 Nissan Frontier
This video makes me so thankful i work on cars in the south... i cant imagine having to deal with all that corruption every time i was under a car.
Eric O. Rocks!! Wow. All three of my vehicles are rust-belt vehicles, and they all have the original catalytic converter... The newest one is a 1996.....
Han Skinslo well I think you wash your car after going through the salt brine most people don't do that
I'm in Massachusetts and have a 2010 altima that has no rust on undercarriage that one in your shop looks hammered
I filled up my tires at your shop a couple weeks ago and now my wife left me...... Not going to lie that was a good one hearing about that dudes wheels.
Sorry to hear that, maybe let the air and she will come back?
Some people just have no shame. Instead of thanking you for the free use of your compressor, he tries to get a free set of rims too. Give a mouse a cookie and he's going to want a glass of milk.
This, pretty much nailed it!
No good deed goes unpunished
It's not the six cans of fix-a-flat He Used. Its YOUR AIR. Thats Good You Showed Him The Water Separator. NoW Who Told Him it Was Your Air.??
The Body Shop...maybe they want your tire customers.
The exhaust.....egh... the air story, ya can't make that stuff up.....Too funny!!!
Dracula untold said it all
No more free air buddy!
1 A-hole always ruins it for everybody. Problem solved. Great videos buddy. Really enjoy them!
Eric, I stopped by the shop and got some of your free air and now I have a P0420 code. What will you do about it?
That is insane that someone, even a customer, would accuse a shop of a faulty air compressor for causing rust in their wheel. In a day and age when free air compressors at gas stations or shops are disappearing like public phone booths, these kinds of low life people are ruining it for the rest of us. Eric O. May not want to have that air pump accessible anymore to the public because of this complaint so we all have to suffer because one bad apple spoils the bunch. Atleast Eric O. Remained professional with the individual and stood his ground. He even took time to show the individual his water separator to prove that his unit was in top working order. Thats what separates SMA and Eric O. From other facilities. He handled the inquiry with dignity. Great job Eric O.
'I've had this kit since Moby Dick was a sardine.' -Eric O., 2017
BTW: some day you're going to have to teach us how to do precision violence with an oxy-acetylene torch like you do, Eric.
Maybe you switched to winter air too early?
bigeandkenna hilarious. Winter blend
maybe he need to drain that fucking shit lol
Lol
Perhaps you have the air filter on your air compressor in wrong!!!. Billy Bob and Sue, You know the Garage down the street? Yea, they said that would filter out the good air and the bad air would go into your air lines.
Just Keep Smiling Mr O... People never cease to wow and amaze!
This has become my favorite show to watch now !
Just did a converter on 1.6 l chivvy..............grinding, cutting, snap on impact gun, the quick disconnect cleaning wheels....everything !
I just cut off and ground down the exhaust manifold studs.......center punched and drilled about a sixteenth and blasted em out with the old nasty snap on impact hammer gun and pointed tip.
I'll put nuts, bolt's, lock washers.
Same problem though.........all that honeycomb material just decided to wad up and clog the outlet !
I think I like your show so much because of the misery loves company thing ?
I'm also jealous of all the sissy electronic boxes though.........
I used to have a big box......Sun interrogator !
Man have things changed, love the Bluetooth, Aultel, Pico and relative compression hookup bluetooth !
Keep up the good work !
Your also doing an amazing job filming !
You could use a soundproof studio for some jobs, several cameras and cameraman, lighting, better borescope capability, editing on the fly etc.
But you know what ?
It's excellent just the way it is !
And, your a good actor and a funny comedian..........
For mechanics, I guess ?
Thank You !
60 years ago I worked in a Union 76 station/garage, in Pasadena, California. We had an elderly lady customer that the owner had known for 30 years, who once a year made an appointment to "have her automobile serviced", and insisted on having the air changed in all 5 tires. We changed it every single year that I worked there. The car, I think was a Rolls Royce from the 1920's. She was a retired silent movie star. Nice lady, used to come in every week to buy never more than 5 gallons of gas, and spend about 2 hours talking about the old days. I think she was Miss Daisy, before I saw the movie!
That job went pretty smoothly considering the rust you deal with. The of nerve some peoples children... free air and he's going to try and blame that to get new rims. Your suspicions were correct. My truck blew a head gasket in the area of # 7 cylinder. Doug will have the parts this Friday. Progress!
Thank the lord for a shop having an air hose for folks to use free of charge. Reminds me of the 60's & 70's when all filling stations had an air hose and water on both ends of the pump islands. It's really amazing how the self-service idea ever got here because most gas stations had a garage stall or two and that service at the pumps would bring in vehicle repairs. Maybe for today's shops that are worthy should go back to the idea. Provide compressed air and water for those folks on the road so they get familiar with the shop's location etc. Same thing when you used to get a couple bags of ice when you bought items at the liquor stores. Now they want to profit off of it or no ice.
15:20 Should have told him that his corroded rims contaminated your airlines and air tank from the backair when he filled his tires
Since Moby Dick was a Sardine. You are the best Eric O.
I'm a simple guy, I get SMA notification, I get ice cream cone, thumb up and watch...
how do you get notifications?
With free air of course
Love ALL of the doctor's content here on the South Main Auto channel but I must admit to lovin these vids the most. Good old fashion rust bustin and fixin complete with the one liners that make Eric the most entertaining technician on youtube.
0iiiii8kkki
Great video Eric sounds like the free air dude not only wants free air but new free wheel's. Next time tell him never mind I will be nice.Keep those videos coming.
Love your videos. Your family are good sports, including your pets.
i liked watching that, i'm buying an 06 nissan and they are replacing the cat converter. You made it look so easy. I hope it comes out as well as yours did.
Thank you so much for the videos, I got my first chrysler tipm because for watching your videos I was able to quickly run the test to make sure the repair went correctly
I seriously could hear you talk about that guy telling you about your bunk air...this is hilarious.
Love your videos because I am learning more and more about service work.
And your loyal subscribers should gift you a new ball cap! With a snappy SMA patch on the front!
Kind thoughts from a viewer living across the Niagara River, in Ontario!👍🏻👍🏻😁
A good deed never goes unpunished.
Those brake and gas lines look immaculate
"Since Moby Dick was a sardine!" Now how many years did that take for him to grow up? Love your quotes Eric. Ross
I'm so glad I dont have to deal with too much rust here in Montana
Exhaust work is always interesting. I like attempting some sort of semblance of the original configuration, but it never seems to work out that way.
I changed out the bed on my ford pickup, all the bolts and nuts were insanely rusted. I coated the bolts and nuts with liquid detergent dish soap liberally, let it sit overnight and the next day they all came out super easy. I do not own any air tools just impact driver.
Don't worry about the electrical fire smell. We bought several 20V DeWalt 1/4 impact drivers and drills that were not brush-less and they smelled the same way. We have 1 each 20V DeWalt 1/4 impact and drill that do not smell that way.
I would also recommend for those out there doing this to replace the front cat at the same time, the 2.5 was known for the front cat to disintegrate and the debris gets sucked back into the motor as well as clogging the rear cat and o2s. From looking online they usually go out at about every 60k miles and it is pretty common.
Yes this is true, the 2009-2016 Nissan car models have a problem with the CATs going out way earlier then they should. Replaced both on my 2010 Nissan Altima 2.5 (QR25DE) at 105k and replaced both on my 2012 Versa 1.6 at 120k. Luckily mine lasted a while but have seen other owners have to replace much earlier at around 40-60k. Read on forums that the problem is a Lame ECU that causes the engine to run rich and it burns out the CATs. Also problems with bad welds that cause exhaust leaks and this can damage the CATs.
Completion music! A nice touch! Good job sir.
Some people have a lot of nerve. Never ceases to amaze me. I know you Eric, you held him there at gunpoint and said use my free air or else .
Love the torch action, Eric! Ever hear of a "Cobra Torch"? I was playing with one today. That sucker can cut through steel cleaner than a plasma cutter! ua-cam.com/video/bBWy3SPFGe4/v-deo.html
-another super detailed repair you did -most mechanics would NOT re-thread rusty bolts or reface flanges
-they would just bolt gaskets together and send car out
BTW -your FREE AIR deserves FREE REFUND ~~
When your torching and the rust pops and it hits the webs of your fingers thats the best feeling! Gets the adreneline flowin!
Another great video Eric you got the bow out practicing yet feel the coolness in the air and getting excited and exactly how slick is penguin snot
I think I will try that Harbor Freight Impact after seeing it in action. Its ok to be a disgruntled mechanic on Monday. Oh wait that's been taken. Bad air? gimme a break. Some people just like to gripe about useless stuff. Thanks for making awesome vids Eric you rock.
The rethreading kit is made by Lang tool they make for snap on Mac craftsman etc those things are great
i'd love to see more when you remove rust and fix it, it would really be mesmerising
getting back to normal whatever normal is - eric o :)
Just replaced all the stabilizer bar links, rear shocks and the torque strut mount on a 2008 Altima. A cut off wheel sure makes quick work of those rusted on nuts by splitting them in half and knocking them off. Way faster than trying to unscrew them...
I liked your video Eric. Down to earth every day life in a shop ,your the man eric
Great Video
When you mentioned the Air- I was wondering if it could be Condensation...
You mentioned about a Water Separator; I Think - But could there be Condensation in the Hose?
I wonder why He would Keep Coming Back for Free Air - If He's Not Satisfied.
Kastar is the OEM for that thread chaser kit, they sell it under a lot of brands. I believe you will find it for the best price under the Craftsman label, but that one has no warranty. No idea if the tool truck versions have warranties.
Great video! Style, class, humor along with rust, fire and bad air! Thank you
Got the 1/2 inch going to giver a try as I need to swap out a control arm right lower front the original bolts are seized in solid and my air impacts in Waverly ny along with all my other tools torches pullers presses and everytool in mysnapon rollaway and top box
Glad your back with videos
Love it. Thanks for another smile. Keep them coming.
Best tone to the ears when hearing that seemingly 100% fused bolt to break loose!
Nice gravy job. Everything came off a lot easier than I thought it would.
Need to put in a pure Druidia air system for those picky customers. I know a guy who sells them, he can get you a great deal. He works in the valley with my uncle Murrey, his name is Lone Starr.
When I ran a under car shop in Boston, I learned if you had to reuse a orginal gasket, coat in wheel bearing greese, it will seal better
Exactly what I need done! Same car. I am having an issue of no acceleration and when it does she is very sluggish! Almost to the point of wont go. Hope it's just the one converter. Isnt there 2? How did you know which one it was?
Did the new pipe not need a heat shield? Hope you get some help in your shop soon.
Must be that New York air I love your show great stuff.
After banging around on the cats, should you start it it and get rid of junk that might flow into the cats after replacement? I used to do that as a backyard mechanic....
What light stick thing are you using seems pretty nice!
Any suggestions for someone without a lift. only a flat concrete pad... a small pad... just feel that 4 jack stands are a little unsafe
Iam coming for visit to your shop next week driving from Toronto
"since ol' moby dick was a sardine" Watching at work and pretty much just died laughing... I don't know who is funnier, Eric O. or Ave
Awesome video. What kind of torch is that and where do I get one?
It's definitely different to see the rust you have to deal with over there. Here in California that pipe wouldn't normally rust out in the life of the car.
1970chevelle396 unless it had rot gut air in the exhaust
Good to see you eric
Great video....
Curious....with all the cheap CATs out there.....are there brands you recommend that work decent, and don't reset the dreaded P0420.
Seems to be there's an awful lot of them out there on the market that are made in Canada.
You mention throwing o2 sensor codes after taking them out; I have a 1996 Chevy c1500 and took out the y pipe to have a friend do something for me (Lets say it would be illegal in your state). After putting everything back on, it surely did throw a o2 heater code. By the way, do not buy o2 sensors at a junkyard. Also, spark plug non foulers do work for keeping the CEL off, in case you were wondering.
Gotta love that salt belt crust. Still have my wife's old car from when she lived in Illinois. It's a nightmare! A GM product and from the rust belt.
Eric, on the 'cheap' roll discs I just pop a drop of the 'ol Loctite 406 on the back & they're good to go! I've had them fly off down the driveway at a gabillion miles an hour!
I think hot glue would also work.
I did an oil change for a guys truck yesterday, and he came back today, because I forgot to grease the door hinge, that wasn 't even squeaking. he never mentioned it to us while in the shop
The half inch impact is pretty stout too love mine its terrific
We charge by the pound for fresh air. But used air is free! PS.. Did I miss something or did the new one not need the heat shield?
Shame on you for having "faulty air", Eric. Tell the jerk to go down the road and pay for the non Faulty air. "ever since i used your air"....... Best one i've heard in a while.
Awesome video....the narration is very interesting
Jeez, you threw that right in there all zippy zap like! Glad things are back to "normal, whatever that is!" Thanks!
Looks good and ready for the upcoming rusty season!
Hey Eric. Can I suggest the idea of filming with a go pro attached to the noggin? Might make making videos faster to cut down on the time the repair takes!
You have to love "ever since" automotive!!!!
Let me get this straight , He used bad air on 3 of the 4 rims because they had leaks in the tires but all 4 rims need to be changed , So the 4th tire/rim was effected by a air transfer leak from the front axle to the rear axle via a solid steel conduit ?
Did you ask if he's been driving around with the winter air still in his tires?
