Totally agree, TV, in general, is a joke. UA-cam has been my go-to for great content for a few years now. I was so happy to see Edd make his comeback here.
Edd, as a person involved in lighting for television and similar industries for many years, I am able to say with some authority that the lighting for your videos is excellent. None of the scenic elements, in your case shop equipment and cars and parts and so on, are blending into any other. It’s quite refreshing to see. What stimulated me to write is the scene where you are disassembling the steering ram. Your media blast box is behind you and lit from inside, making it clear that it is, indeed, a media blast box! Brilliant! So, kudos to whomever sets you up, you make good looking videos.
I'm glad that I'm not the only YT viewier who notices production values / or lack of. There's nothing more certain that 'dyed in the wool' camera and lighting people notice 'issues' that others do not. Nowadays - everyone with a mobile phone seems to think they can make a video. The term 'broadcast quality' is no longer respected. In the old days anything below a defined standard would not make it to 'air'. In exceptional circumstances an 'amateur clip' (eg. from VHS) could be transmitted in news reports but they were always clearly captioned as 'amateur footage'.
Brilliant to see Paul back in the workshop. Now thats a duo I can get behind. A question for Paul: What would be your dream car to work on and what has been your favourite to work on? A question for Edd: Where do you buy your parts when they need replacing? Do you stick to manufactorer spares or are you comfortable buying elsewhere? Pros and cons of this?
You know what I've just realised... in all the series of Wheeler Dealers, even when they're in the USA and have "made it" as a TV show ... at no time did Edd have as good a working space as he now has in his own UA-cam channel. It just shows you what the focus was before... and that now we're focusing on what's important. I'm loving every one of these episodes. More detail, more knowledge, more passion (and more Paul!!!!) :)
Yes, the episodes fly by way too fast. It's wonderful how UA-cam has democratized video entertainment. I am a firm believer in supporting those that support your kind of entertainment. Milwaukee battery tools are now my go-to thanks to them supporting Edd. I also picked up a set of Ringers from Amazon.
Sympa de voir Paul au garage, excellent duo en perspective.. j'adore toujours autant la chaîne.. encore pleins d'autres.. bien le bonjour d'un français
Awesome that Paul is back working with you! I’ve watched you on TV here in the States since Wheeler Dealers first aired and first let me tell you what an inspiration you have have been to me furthering my confidence in tackling projects! “Having a go at it” as you say! Whenever Paul was mentioned I always wondered “Who is this wizard Paul?!? And why isn’t he on the show?!?” I’m really digging Workshop Diaries and it’s good to actually meet Paul! Side note: I’ve watched all the other shows he’s been part of as well!
Edd, I'm so glad that Paul and you are back in business together! Side note: a few days ago I've found that Mustang's ad where a woman who looks like a secretary is looking for an affordable car in a GM dealership. Then, 2 or 3 years later Lt. Frank Bullitt is driving a green 1968 across San Francisco's streets.
Ford made these power steering units in cars for ages. I had one in my 1968 Falcon that I rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt and then finally after not being able to ever stop it from leaking I ripped the whole assembly out and went to manual steering. I was extremely happy to remove the whole dreadful system. Great video.
I love how subtle you have Americanly themed this episode, it hasn't gone un noticed, Mad Anthony's Café T-Shirt, this is Michael Anthony's café (the Bassist from Van Halen) The slide steel guitar music, and of course the Mustang itself. Thoroughly enjoyed this Sir!
My Dad worked at the company that used to make all the special tools. The ball joint splitter was easily my favorite, and I bought one. All the rest of the tools I could just borrow, make all the difference working on the cars.
What a neat trick with the snipe nose pliers and hammer to remove the split pins. I have always either got a pair of pliers over the eye and pulled and twisted, or a pair of side cutters and levered them out, sometimes working against a screwdriver. Ed’s method looks easier and quicker.
Hi Ed on the ram rebuild kit why does it seem to come with a circlip that's an external type not internal like it was used. You can see why as at bumps where the circlip holes are show that it's ideally to be used externally and why its hard to get your pliers on as the holes are where they are not supposed to be. Might be worth going over it in your tea and biscuit section about the differences for those that are not aware. Paul great to see you back keep it up 👌
Great to see Paul’s 🖐 🤚 back at work 😂 The subscribers have shot through the roof Edd!! Well done good sir! It goes to show your fan base is still loyal after the years of absence!! Class!!!
The Mustang brings back many memories, I took my California drivers license test in my Mom's brand new 1966 Mustang 289, 4 speed in 1966. What a fun car to drive around. And back in the day if we would of had our wits about us, we would have re sealed the power steering ram and control valves, but we just bought new. Of course they didn't cost 850 pounds then. Thanks Edd for another great video.
Hey Ed, something that I do when sliding new seals passed a thread is to cover the threads and the sharp edges where the outer of the ram shaft is with electrical tape during reassembley so this reduces the chance of the new seals getting damaged. Good video as always. Thanks
The video has been made super short, I have not lost detail, although it seems unusual to you, I tell you that I have no idea about mechanics, but my curiosity and my taste for cars is great. Greetings from Jaén (Andalucía), from a follower.
As the owner of a 20 year old Japanese car where every ball joint nut is seized solid with rust, watching Edd undo those steering rack nuts with a ball joint tool, a ratchet spanner and sod all resistance is most frustrating 😁
When everything is leaking like it kind of keeps everything free of corrosion. But plenty of classic mustangs are not in that good shape and are a real headache to take things apart on. the rear leaf springs are notorious for not wanting to come out for example and usually need to be cut out with a sawzall. First time I did my front suspension ball joints was really hard.
I've dealt with rust on cars since the 60's and the best solution I've found is heat. Favorite tool in my workshop is my "smoke wrench," if the heating tip isn't enough, the cutting tip will be. Old sayin is "it can't be tight if it's liquid."
It looks like this Mustang hasn't spent any time on salty roads and all that leaking oil surely helped. In countries without salt, they nearly all look like this. My 2000 model Corolla looks brand new underneath, just a bit dirty. It's swings and roundabouts really.
Very interesting. That system is identical to the one on my 1978 Mercury Monarch and I too have a leaky system. I will be watching closely when you do the control valve!
So great to see you back on our screens! What a great piece of production you are all putting together, it must take a lot time and effort to them out each week, lots of kudos to you all. I did notice that the more clickbait head line "chocolate sauce in my range rover got 2.1m views! Maybe more of these will boost the bank balance 🤔 I'm no expert 😉.
Thank god you have your you tube channel Edd me auld China as I won’t be watching the new series of what’s that show again any glad you were true to yourself and the fans and stuck to what you were doing on the show best bit of wheeler dealers was yourself explaining what you were doing in Lehman’s terms and I just don’t think the new guy could ever replace you not in my eyes anyway your a legend mate
Now I'd never doubt your skills as a mechanic, but there's no way you got that circlip back in on the first try with a pair of picks 😁 Even with proper circlip pliers, they have to slip out of the clip at least 3 times and you have to stab yourself in the finger with the pliers themselves once. I might be willing to believe if you hadn't shot the circlip all the way across the shop once, but everything else has to be editing shenanigans😉
Thank you for Mustang Power Steering repair, it will be invaluable for when I fix the steering on my ‘66 Falcon, I can’t wait to see the control valve video.
Close up camera work on this is a work of art. And could only be done on this show...Excellent. I am wondering, why has none of the big movers and shakers taken you on? I mean you have the history of excellence in this field.
I’d do far more on my own vehicles except I never seem to find space to reach the sketchy bits with a tool and then actually apply force with that tool. Ed does, even if it’s a laborious 87 1/4 turns to remove a nut. That’s talent AND patience. Ed and the team not only find the optimal angle and sufficient space to do what I cannot they also manage to shove a camera in those impossibly tight space in such an exact manner as to film the whole thing and then it ceases being skillful and becomes sublime 😂
Nice work Edd. Fun to watch as I just did this work on my early Ford with this system as well. My heartbreak is I needed to replace the Hydraulic Hoses also. The 'main' ones are not reproduced for my model and the replacements took a HUGE amount of fiddling. Although things are working and leak free, I am not happy.
Well , I'm certain you'll always steer us right Edd . You got the wish we all have had , for that "second pair of hands" . ( A kind of Penn and Teller Act . ) By the by , they do make a dandy snap ring removal tool for those tiny holed rings and it's quite cheap .
This is why I don't wach TV anymore. I absolutely love your show.
Your videos keep me happy on grey and rainy days.
Thank you :-)

@@Ampex196 actually you can even made (and was done) movies with a phone, but still the light & sound needs to be well looked after
Paul's part in this episode was epic, such a great contribution to the video and such a critical role. Well done Paul! (Edd, you were "OK") 😉
Man, I thought the camera was going to pan round and he'd be playing us out on the Hammond organ as well as holding the camera.
Didn't go un-noticed how much effort went into filming in tight spaces there. Your efforts are appreciated!
Brilliant to see Paul back in the workshop. Now thats a duo I can get behind.
A question for Paul: What would be your dream car to work on and what has been your favourite to work on?
A question for Edd: Where do you buy your parts when they need replacing? Do you stick to manufactorer spares or are you comfortable buying elsewhere? Pros and cons of this?
Silent vids ahead..🤣🤣
Laughing my butt off at the end when Paul "lends a hand or two" Great job on rebuilding the ram.
It nice to see Paul jumping in there to help. Hi Paul🤗
Yes, I liked seeing Paul lend a a hand or two! Nice job, Hi Paul!
So glad to see Paul and Edd back together
The work on the sound is amazing. There are lot musical videos that doesnt reach this level of quality ^^. What a great crew.
I think UA-cam changed their sound as well, many new video's sound much crisper than usual. Ed's are on another level though.
Yeah! Great episode Edd! The addition of Paul was the spice that turned this episode from perfect to epic! Keep him coming!!
Worth the time watching from beginning to end, like with M539 Restorations
Great seeing Legend Paul back part time…needs to be full time!
I'd definitely second this. Great to see Edd and Paul working together on a project.
You know what I've just realised... in all the series of Wheeler Dealers, even when they're in the USA and have "made it" as a TV show ... at no time did Edd have as good a working space as he now has in his own UA-cam channel.
It just shows you what the focus was before... and that now we're focusing on what's important. I'm loving every one of these episodes. More detail, more knowledge, more passion (and more Paul!!!!) :)
Wow that was 27 minutes that just flew by. Really enjoyed this video. So chill and relaxing - and what a gorgeous car ♥♥

4:45 to 5:32... These little sequences are gold.
It wouldn't be a Friday without a trip to the workshop. Always perfectly timed with closing down the work laptop. Happy days!
Nice to see Paul's hands back to help at the end Keep Safe you two.
I love that the frame flash comments became a thing :) Loved the end. Good thing you had some help!
I'm very happy to know that your videos now have PT-BR subtitles because your TV show is still successful today. now I will watch here every day.

i dare not miss a single episode. love you Mr, China keep up the great work
Great to have you back you and Paul are truly professional 👏
The cheeky little reappearances of Paul should absolutely continue with occasional featured episodes. I love all of it.
No wonder old yank tanks don’t steer so well with all those joints !! Another great video Ed 👍
Great Job Edd!!! We love the way you explain what and why you are doing these repairs and the intricate way it all comes apart and goes back together.
Love the seasick Steve style music, the camera work and the legendary edd China therapeutic commentary.
Damn you for making this look easy! Always the sign of a great teacher.
Ed is the best of the best in many ways. Foremost in the way he is a pleasure to watch work. Thanks!
It is great to see you with Paul again, what a team you both are !✌️
Edd's grown extra hands......multi tasking guru.
26:56 Ohhhh so thats how Edd can work on so many projects at once, wondered how one could be so productive.
Great Job Edd and Paul. Nice to hear another great British UA-cam car channel willing to "get the funk out" Cheers from Oz

Nice to see Paul again, I'm looking forward to see him more often.
Remember riding in the backseat in downtown Detroit, in uncles brand new 1964 mustang convertible!!!! What a great little car
favorite part of the week to watch and learn. Thank you
Just a tip, spin the castle nut round when using the ball joint splitter to avoid the top of the nut splaying under compression
Watching Edd fixing "stuff" is a great way to start the day 😍
Nice informative video and nice to get a glimpse of Paul again I hope
to see more of him in the future😃😃
It's Friday, it's Edd, aaaaaand relax 😀
Bless you for this brilliant masterclass on power steering & suspension work
Another brilliant video well done. Very nice to see Paul back! The dynamic duo love it!
Ford used that system on all the Falcon based cars in the states. From 1960 to 1978.

Top work Edd and team. I like the second set of hands at the end to help install the nut .
Hey its nice to see Paul back! Don't forget to due a spray can overhaul on that steering gear! 😁😉
Before watching your videos I already like them as I know this is good content
"That...is a job for another day" is quickly becoming my least favorite phrase.
I don’t know, I use it all the time now 😀
Hear…Hear!!
There’s no day like the present.

Glad to see you and Paul on you’re own channel miles better than Brewer taking all the credit for you’re hard work , keep them coming Edd 👍🙂
Some fabulous macro filming there Ed, brilliant!
WD should have been 3 hours long, 'Mike' 10 minutes max ! Wonderful talent Ed !
Great to have found you again. Excellent format and content. Will binge watch and looking forward to future episodes. Cheers
Super education as always when Edd is going... Love your videos, much better than Wheeler Dealers...
Hello edd,
Geez there’s lots of seals there huh!!..
Love your show since wheeler dealers buddy
Close up camera work on this is a work of art. And could only be done on this show...Excellent. I am wondering, why has none of the big movers and shakers taken you on? I mean you have the history of excellence in this field.
Bang up job as usual Edd! Easy on those chemicals though, it appears you grew two extra arms for that idler arm..😏
Super Lube! That's good stuff. Useful for so many things.
This is timely as the power steering on my 64 1/2 is leaking too! Time to give it a go!
So good to have you back, brilliant as always (soooooo many ads?) 👍
Good to see Paul's hands at the end 👍
a friend has two single side post lifts...they work great and give lots of clearance. rated for 5000lbs.
Great quality show Edd, keep the episodes coming! 👍
Good to see Paul make a cameo appearance.
I’d do far more on my own vehicles except I never seem to find space to reach the sketchy bits with a tool and then actually apply force with that tool. Ed does, even if it’s a laborious 87 1/4 turns to remove a nut. That’s talent AND patience. Ed and the team not only find the optimal angle and sufficient space to do what I cannot they also manage to shove a camera in those impossibly tight space in such an exact manner as to film the whole thing and then it ceases being skillful and becomes sublime 😂
Great video as always Edd, but at 23:00 it really looks like the lip on that second rubber seal is not seated properly...
I noticed as well. I'm thinking it will likely correct itself when the ram slides inward?
He must have assembled the whole thing at least twice, to get the wide shot and the close-ups. Hopefully the wide shot was the final assembly 😃
Nice work Edd. Fun to watch as I just did this work on my early Ford with this system as well. My heartbreak is I needed to replace the Hydraulic Hoses also. The 'main' ones are not reproduced for my model and the replacements took a HUGE amount of fiddling. Although things are working and leak free, I am not happy.
Well , I'm certain you'll always steer us right Edd . You got the wish we all have had , for that "second pair of hands" . ( A kind of Penn and Teller Act . ) By the by , they do make a dandy snap ring removal tool for those tiny holed rings and it's quite cheap .
Lee Iacocca must've really loved ball joints.
The dream team back together 👌
