I owned and operated my own garage for 10 years, recently sold it and I still watch SMA. My wife says why are you watching that, you already know that, I said you can always learn something. Great channel Eric.
Mr. O your videos have personally saved me over $100 when I watched how to replace the ignition switch on a Chevy Blazer. I don't know what I like more, your liberal use of brake clean, or the sound effect when you show us the can. Keep the great videos coming. I thoroughly enjoy each and every one.
@@SouthMainAuto And doing a great job. Too bad I live so far away. (Western Canada) As a retired mechanic, I'd love to 'chew the fat' . I so respect your skills and attitude!
After watching many of your videos I know one thing for absolute certain. I am sure glad I live in Texas where corrosion isn't a problem like it is up North, screw salted roads every damn year.
Hey, Eric, I like your videos when you're diagnosing problems It helps me think of ways I can find problems. Anybody can turn a wrench and replace parts that why we have so many parts changers.
Better getting "never seize " on yourself than Blood! It doesn't hurt to think of the next guy either ; as your current videos seem to imply. Am glad to see you wearing the necessary PPE.
Just had to replace an 09 acadia's rear wheel bearing a couple days ago. No shop or fancy tools, just an air uga duga and ping pinger. It refused to give up the ghost, and was such a painful experience. And to top it off, had the pleasure of the e brake cable and pads to have fun with. 10/10 experience. ^.^
New to your channel, awesome videos! I can't get over the number of hub bearings you have to change. I live in western Canada, it is rare to have a hub bearing go out...mind you, we don't near have the corrosion issues you guys do. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with 187500 miles, factory hub bearings. Anyway, again really enjoy your videos!
Thanks SMA! I'm doing my rear bearing hubs this week (great vacation) on my 2000 Grand Prix. Hopefully it's similar enough. You've also helped me with replacing the water pump on the same car after seeing your video for GM water pump replacement. Which is the first video I watched of SMA and got hooked almost 5 years ago!
This video is a life saver! I have a blue 2005 lacrosse that has a bad wheel bearing on that side! This will be my go to video for when i do it myself, thank you so much!
Top work, no hamburger face, no eggs in a basket, but a squirt of the good stuff, sat watching in the rainy UK 40mph winds , eating my evening meal at 7.30 in the evening glass of red, and this, my idea of a great start to an evening, Keep it up Eric O its all good. Dave
South Main Auto Repair absolutely yes! if I still lived in England. I would be having fish and chips and beer draft and my smokes and big screen TV with SMA at the Pub. oh yeah :)
Thanks so much for this video. Being from upstate NY the videos I watched on how to replace a rear hub all showed the hub coming out no problem. Your trick to hammer it till it spins did the trick on my rear 2014 upstate impala limited. I would have been stuck without this video.
Great video,very helpful, I struggled with removing a rear bearing on my 05 Grand Am last night and failed.Today I'll attack it with the impact as you did. Thanks for this helpful tutorial, its going to make my day go a lot easier.
Good video, when the hub fell out I thought "this is going too easy, similar bad is coming" I've never tried rotating the bearing ask like that but that'll be normal now, thanks.
Good timing Eric O. right before I heading off to work. Big Nasty "Astro 4980" is on beast mode yet again. A + informative content, no coffee yet for me but soon. Thanks for the video
Eric thanks for the video...you are a true professional and entertaining to watch. Fun fact about the Buick Lacrosse. Here in Canada, they had to call it the Buick Allure....because LACROSSE in French translates to" " self gratification" So GM produced two sets of literature and all those different emblems to keep from offending our French brothers. Even funnier though was that later post 2009 they sell the LACROSSE in Canada. Go figure.
Who can possibly dislike these vids? Bunch of haters, probably can't even change a tire...if you dont like this stuff go watch Discovery Channel "mechanic" shows. Keep those vids rolling Eric. Kudos for the hard work you put into your video production alongside your REAL mechanic work!
Eric O, excellent video. You are great guy as you listen to your subscribers what they ask or comment. That's why you're popular guy! you definitely deserve over a million subscribers. one thing I like to point out that, you remembered things when your subscriber asked : - safety glasses, ear protection. awesome!!! we want you around for years to come! cuz us subscribers love every video you put out!! :) I recently did the rear brake job on Toyota Camry, tough, tough job. brake shoes AND brake pads as well. those were so tiny, hell of a fiddle job! Ugh!
You are awesome....I've learned so much from your vids. I watch your vids all the time..Your delivery/demeanor is the best....Please keep up the great work....Loving it
Yes good point. I’d go as far to say that applies to any of the American made vehicles anyway. Shop wanted 1000 bucks plus cost of parts to replace 1 rear hub assembly and rear brakes on 2017 terrain. Did it my self in an hour and a half. 225 bucks in parts.
The instructions on my 2011 SRX said to remove the ABS sensor too, but just using my own sense and checking with some measurement I've confirmed that you don't need to at least on that one, it sits right behind the reluctance ring, and won't interfere or be harmed by a wheel hub assembly replacement.
Lol you made that look easy. Every days a school day, first time I’ve seen the air chisel used in this way..... cracking ( no pun intended ) many thanks
Eric...PLEASE ...always wear your hearing protection whenever you use those air tools. AND wear a dust mask when working with grinders/sanders and around brakes. Believe me...you DON'T want to end up with Tinnitus or lung problems. I speak from experience...do it for Vanessa and the kids. Oh yeah...great video as usual!
Happens to some people, doesnt with others. My grandfather, died in his 50s. Hole in his heart (native american) and lungs were blackened with shop dust/paint etc. A friend of mine decided to try out welding in his early 30s, he didnt wear a mask. 1 of his eyes are seeing blurry, permanently now. (He closed his eyes, turned his head to tack, light went through his closed eyelid, on the side facing the weld)
I love Regals. Ive got a 03 LS. It came with the grand touring package. Full leather, 16 in aluminum wheels, rear spoiler. Gonna drive it til it wont go no more.
It not really the upper intake manifold that leaks coolant. It's the lower intake manifold gaskets which used a nylon gasket carrier (which is dissolved by Dexcool) that causes the leak. Replace with either the Delco or Fel-Pro lower intake manifold gaskets which have an aluminum carrier design and those fix this problem. The plastic upper intake manifold of the original Series II design had problems with the EGR passage melting. That caused a leak as well. ATP makes a good replacement plastic upper intake manifold.
Excellent! Can you show us how clean the inside surface where the new hub seats has to be next time? The outside surface can be seen pretty good, it's just the inside.
Great video worked like a charm for me! Only one issue,while putting it back together the last bolt I tightened with a socket wrench and broke the bolt! Now to find a replacement bolt! Lol
Also, rust and corrosion are interchangeable. Rust just refers to iron oxide, which has the brown/copper color we all know and love. Other metals like Zinc and aluminum corrode with a whitish buildup. All oxidization causes an expansion effect which locks shit together, so it all sucks. Iron metals are porous enough though that the rust can just go through the whole piece over time. Aluminum and zinc corrode at a basically negligible rate after they get their initial coat of patina.
Let's see: Loaded for bear - two antibiotics, four painkillers, lack of sleep, can only take hot or cold beverages, a week off from work, pain so bad that a broken foot suffered 12 years ago would be preferable - Tonsillitis, yep, but South Main makes it much more bearable and somehow puts a smile in my face.
Yep, it unfortunately true - In one 24 hour sequence, went to my Physician and the ER, the latter lancing the daylights out of the swollen tonsil. But South Main always give me an anticipation like opening a VERY large box of assorted chocolates and choosing and picking the piece and taking the first bite, knowing that is going to be good and never a disappointment.
Just got the 216QL in from Amazon. Haven't had time to use it. "Big Nasty" will be here next week. 😱 Love this short and to the point video. On a side note, Mr O is only a few uploads away from 400 videos. Eric you should change the channel name to South Main Film Studios ! 😎
Watching Eric clean out that knuckle sounded/looked the dentist picking at my teeth. Lot's of rotary air tools and a reasonable amount of picking out schmoo with a pointy-ended device.
eric i'm surprised nobody pick up on the one thing you didn't do..But i'll let them figure it out on there own ... not going to say .thanks for the vids bud
"Step 1 - remove the tire" , step 2 - Remove the wheel as well ;-) Only kidding Eric, these sort of videos are great - especially helping with the tricks to remove things that have welded themselves together with corrosion.
We've got the President, Big Nasty, AND Wearever Gold in the comments section now! :D Miracles never cease - a GM component designed with the tech in mind! Amazing!! Boy, does Big Nasty make these jobs easy or what!?! Best invention EVER. :)
Good video Eric O , I have been watching your videos since you have been on You tube , and would like to say thank you. But the anticipation on your little red project car is killing me, when are we going to see some videos on it. And I know your a busy man with customers cars but was just wondering and keep up the good work brother, you would make a killing and love it down here in Tucson Arizona, no rust and things just fall off in your hands when unbolted. :)
I've been telling him what you just said for years. The Red Honda will give us some good videos but how about, as Prince would have said: a "Little Red Corvette. baby you're much too fast.
Eric, i know this R&R of rear wheel bearing hub was from a while ago but i wonder did you torq the mounting hub bearing bolts to spec? i may have missed that? maybe your impact drive has an adjustable torq range??
It seems like you do quite a bit with GM vehicles. This Buick's design is very similar, if not exactly, like my 2008 Impala. Do you have a video doing a complete parking/E brake repair on these types of vehicles? Edit: Actually, after watching the video, where was the parking brake? Usually, the parking brake shoe sits inside the rear rotor.
I am doing the same at the moment but there are nuts behind the bearing housing which are damaged by corrosion. Probably been on the car from the factory.
I pascribed, I mighta have put some neverending seize on that hub before combobulating it back on with my torsionally correct pewmatic thingy. Couldn't we sell a brake pad replacement job while we were in there? Thanks enjoyed your fix it movie
You do a wonderful job on your video and you have a good personality for it. When reinstalling the wheel bearing hub assembly would you see anything wrong with using high temp wheel bearing grease instead of Fluid film on the wheel bearing bracket? This would keep it from corroding and make it easy to remove the wheel bearing assembly in the future if needed. Thanks.
I hate hub assemblies and wheel bearings in general. One of the worst jobs you can do in the rust belt :/ Especially if you don't have strong impact tools available.
when you said dont forget to pump the brakes it reminded me of a day at my shop one of my employees didn't pump the breaks and went to back out and just so happend the advance auto truck pulled in the door and he hit the truck cost me 2 new bumpers and cost him his job i let him go it wasn't the first time he did it but got lucky the first time and didnt hit anything

Very instructive and done at a pace that suits me. You are very meticulous which I find a rare quality nowadays. Keep it up.
This guy is good, but you should watch some of the Chris Fix videos, you also be amused....and learn a few tricks here and there....
Hey, Eric, I like your videos when you're diagnosing problems It helps me think of ways I can find problems.

I like the saying "If I can do it you can do it" but the truth is I cant do it! The videos are awesome though. They make it so I can do more.
You should have a talk show. You are just entertaining to watch. Great video as always.

8:46 - WHAT'S THAT RATTLE? Oooooooh yaaaaaaaa .....THE GOOD STUFF! Fluid Film.
Running through withdrawl after the krown video.
I'm amazed that just 4 small bolts hold the wheel hub on! I've always thought you weren't supposed to use a air impact wrench to tighten lug nut?
The impact he's using has a torque stick on it. This tool prevents over-tightening the lugs. I use them in my job, and they work.
At 9:30 you put Loctite on the TORX bolts. Why not anti-seize instead?
Big nasty makes one of the worst jobs to do in the rust zone nice and easy. God I'm so jealous. 😣
Nice one Eric. Don't forget to sleep some time.
Eric, i know this R&R of rear wheel bearing hub was from a while ago
