- In this video I replace the front wheel bearing and brakes on a 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser. It is a press in bearing but overall a pretty easy job to do. -Enjoy!

Generally, when "nothing goes wrong" like that and you get that sinking feeling, you realize on the test drive that you were supposed to replace the wheel bearing on the other side!!
Been there, done that (on my own car). 😛
@@michaelblacktree Would be a lot worse waste of time if you replaced a perfectly good bearing in a gear box, say 1st gear, when it should be 4th?
The thing us, if that was the wrong bearing, the way it came apart it needed to be replace anyway . Cause it would have went bad very soon
🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌
I always replace both if one goes bad the other isn’t usually to far behind.
You know you're an SMA fan when you know the way back to the shop!
I was thinking the same thing!
I look forward to seeing the Dollar General and the ball field.
And just about all of downtown !
Handy to know when you live in the England. 🤷♂️

How I wish he would come down here. All of the mechanics around here seem to be of the parts swapper variety.
That small little town probably has the best maintained vehicles around
Or moving West. Like all the way to Oregon. :):)

Eric, when you retire from SMA, you can open a shop down South. Every day will be like a holiday.
As a dude in northern Illinois, I am jealous of your rust free shit

He'd bore everyone with tales of "you lot wanna try working up north, it's grim up north, you lot got it easy down here etc etc"
Wow, that was a different take on an SMA bearing replacement... Usually it requires 14 different kinds of penetrating oil, a torch, Big Nasty, a few breaker bars, a sledgehammer, several drifts, two assistants, an angle grinder, a Sawzall, and several carefully edited choice words to get the job done. Keep up the great videos!
And this came apart smooth as buttah - for an 11 YO vehicle in the rust belt. But as someone else said up thread, likely NOT from around there initially.
I was thinking 'and a few choice words' mixed in...
Im up in central ny and once in a while we get lucky but not to often. I just did a rear wheel bearing on a 2015 suby impreza today and i had torches big nasty and my little snappy ph3050b trying to get one air hammer wedged in behind then giving it the beans with big nasty also heated it cherry red about 10 times. It was one of the worst ones ive had in a while. Not fun at all. Especially when u see guys down south just give them a light tap with a small dead blow. Lol
@@dylankinch2735 Having seen Eric's channel for a few years now, I know that even a 3-5 YO car can require Big Nasty, just o remove the bolts at bare minimum. :-) Thus, my comment that this car was originally not from here and not here long enough to develop the crusties.
@@johnhpalmer6098 thats the truth man. Like i said once in a while we get lucky but most of the time around here in utica ny every job is a fight. You may be correct on this being a southern vehicle. Everything went very smooth
I miss the "BAAA" when we see The Film being used... Nice video, Mr. O! Thanks!
Then what's for lunch Mrs O , then think his name was Vinny one on the battery scooter
I didn’t like the sheep noise so much. Just person preference.

That's what she said.
The wheel bearing coming off easy is called television magic
This guy makes the best car repair videos and his voices seems to be relaxing at the same time
Pleasing to the ears
@@danh2134 facts
That's just his PROFESSIONAL attitude about his work and he enjoys sharing with anyone. Love it.
I actually found his voice in his earlier videos to be annoying by comparison
Great radio voice.
I feel robbed - When I read wheel bearing and PT Gasuser - I though Big Nasty, torch and a beating - none of that. Great job Eric - I bet you beat the book rate on that one.
Of all the times I’ve heard the phrase “in theory or theoretically “,this is the first time I’ve seen it all come off and go back together flawlessly! Unicorn in the rust belt.
I can’t be the only one that would be downloading every episode Of a South Main Podcast right? Love the vids!!
Right you are, when you want to know this is where you go. The price is always right when you do it right the first time. Sherlock(Mechanic of Auto) show. Starring Eric and family.
Love when a plan comes together without a hitch.
You are the only mechanic that clean and lubricate everything before assemble the component. Wish that I live in your area.
Watching older videos and spit out water when he did the Brak-Clean sound the 2nd time cuz he missed the first.. ;) LOVE IT!
Long time ago I worked for a Monro muffller and brake shop as a rookie. Did pads and rotors on all four wheels. Did not pump the brakes. Backed out, and frantically pumped them, lucky there were no cars parked behind me, and went up over the curb. Customer watched the whole thing. PUMP YOUR BRAKES! Learned a nice lesson that day, I always pump them now, and have flashbacks when I back out of my garage when done a brake job.
Did the same thing years ago working at a dealership in Vegas . Wasn't as lucky bumped two new cars together
Always nice when Mrs. O makes an appearance and the cruze tune's a real toe tapper. Yaaaa.
A new video from SMA and a cup of Monday morning coffee. It couldn't be better.
nothin better than a good ol nuts and bolts sma video👍
You got that right.
Man I'm glad I live in Texas, almost all of our hub bearings come out that easy.
Feels like the good old days, getting back to the brake jobs.👍👍👍
I love work, I can watch it for hours. Especially Eric O
Man, you're cranking em out lately.
Love the sparks coming off the socket when you were removing the bearing! SMA and his light saber!
Don't you wish "nothing ever goes wrong" while working on vehicles. Entertaining video.
1. NAPA really, really does need to sponsor this channel
2. If this PT Cruiser is going to spend anymore time in upstate NY, I'd like to see a 1 or 2 year chassis follow-up video to see how crusty it gets. She's looking terrific right now.
3. Always a pleasure to see a SMA video notification!
No brake clean sound effect, no rust, no big nasty, no torch cutting bolts, no fake cuss words, an easy looking job. I'm mildly disappointed. Mildly I tell ya! Lol great work, Mr O
Funny, I think I know my way around your little town, ha ha ha. Each time, you do these pressed-in bearings a little differently. It's nice to see how a skilled tradesman has various options.
Thank you for your Enlightenment on these newer vehicles 23:55 23:55
It was a very interesting procedure for me being my own service mechanic on many things gs myself learning more information about things such as this good info and thanks from one gearhead to another skilled professional
Definitely an import. Imported from south of the salt line.
It’s my goal to one day visit New York and bring my rust free car to Eric and have him do some maintenance on it 😂 I don’t even have surface rust being an Arizona vehicle
Or not winter driven?
EricO doing wheelbearings wow, i thought those days were gone. In my head i was thinking along the lines of you walking up and down the bays "fix this fix that im going hunting"'. The struggle most be real lol.
Love the every day repair videos keep them coming.
Great video as always I was hoping for Big Nasty in there maybe to put the tire on 😎. More videos like theses please!! I don’t watch cable anymore just the sma channel! It’s your delivery and entertainment that we come here for!! Thanks Dr. O!
Fun to watch and truly entertaining.
you are just a diy guy with the right tools
I once put the wavy washer under the nut.... Discovered it many years later when I was taking it apart for something else... Sometimes I worry about myself.
I didnt know bearings like these existed before watching this channel. Ive only ever dealt with hub bearings or axle bearings in solid axles.
Another satisfied SMA customer.
I love these. I wish you did one-a-day. Not a computer is sight. No diagnostic problems. Just pull out the wrenches and go. Yea!
Good segment, Eric. Thanks. I plan on stopping by your shop this August on my way to Canada. Just want to shake your hand and buy some merch. Cheers from Moyock, NC.
Surprised that bad boy is still on the road, looking at the comments here, everyone else had the same thought.
A video with Brake Clean......100% satisfying. Now I can sleep at nights
Thanks to you I'm becoming a better Mechanic everyday and I'm just being in the business for 1 1/2 year. I have a long way to go but I'm getting ready for this amazing trip.
That's one of the reasons he started this show. All the vehicles he was working on were not done right and he knew he could show anyone how to do it right.
Sherlock (Mechanic of Auto) show.
Starring Eric and family.
18:10 - Eric gettin trolled by the impact gun... LOL 🤣
All the vehicles featured on SMA have “the big” (insert displacement) engine, no matter the size.
Like a "big salad" on Seinfeld..lol
Wait for the electric vehicles someday "I've got this 2026 PingPong with the BIG 65Kw battery; needs brakes and a rotor."
There's another guy who does youtube car repair videos who has said he can't understand why anyone would want to watch someone else just removing bolts so he leaves that part out of his videos. Well dang, the way you do it that's often the most interesting part of the whole video!
I felt that line... "I don't even have the torch out"
Glad you got a taste of our easy suspension work down this way. I swear there's people who make 80k a year doing nothing but suspension work around here.
Love the upload schedule, always happy to watch an SMA video whenever they come out. Keep up the great work Eric.
What you can dislike i dont understand...this is a man with big knowlege who works in extreme rust area and its extremly difficult to work on thouse cars...in my area is a lot of old vehicles and they are rusty till that stage that if you want to do a clutch job and need to remove sub frame you cant back that frame....chasis will worp...
I want to see these people who dislike these videos...to make their own..
Keep up with good work you are awersome!cheers..
P.S. this post is abouth all videos ...
It’s always concerning when things come apart easy and nothing breaks. That’s when I usually smash my fingers. 🤣🤣
I've found if I bleed early on with any repair, it goes much smoother. Automotive Gods require their blood sacrifice.
Bought an 02 PT Touring, new. What a piece! It ate brakes, tires and clutches. Headlight multi switch died. About 48 k started using oil. Turns out it was a known issue. Chrysler solution was telling you oil consumption of 1 qt per 500 miles was acceptable! My numerous Nissans used 0 in 3k! My mechanic buddy told me the cure was pulling the pistons, throwing them in the trash because the oil rings would be coked solid. That solution was good for another 40k or so. Changed to 15/40 oil which reduced consumption to 1 1/2 quarts in 3k. Drove till 100k and got rid of it.
Ah nice way to start a New Year SMA brake job.....And bring back the music to the break clean.....
Yeah.... a Double combo video, just what I needed on a sunday instead of bloody football!!!!!....this video also reminded me how good an idea it is to use Rust Prevention sprays....
Wow. One that has survived
😂😂😂😂😂
We called these the Pathetic Turd Cruiser here. Even in Australia - the rusted...
Waited for the other shoe to drop - yep, the RIGHT shoe did drop. Tisk tisk tisk. Time for you and Mrs O to come to South Texas and come take care of our rusty rides here. We do need a Diesel mechanic since most of the smaller shops won't touch them.
I am a retired mechanic, in 1984 I made a tool very close to the one that you are using.
However, I made the tool so as I would not need a slide hammer. I still have the tool.
Enjoy watching your show learn a lot watching down in the Cayman islands
No salt on the roads down there. Man do I miss Spanish Bay Reef -great times there. Best diving in the world IMO.
Greetings Eric, I've been in automotive repair since I was a youngster and I'm always learning more thanks for taking us along with you and sharing your knowledge. 👍
Nice to see something went easy for you! Put a red light in Josh’s stall so he knows there’s a high quality video production being filmed at that moment.
I replaced the whole assy from my low mileage spare front end. A month later that bearing cooked too. Can't find a new assy so I'm doing the new bearing per your video. 150k plus miles on the car. Everything came off easy on the first try so this time was easy also. Great video.
Great job Eric, that's how it goes sometimes, straight forward, not often in our job , take care
“I always thinks it’s bigger than it is” Now that sounds like a personal problem to me Eric 🤣
The job is SO much easier on a hoist. Shade tree mechanics only wish. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks 👍
Not much to say on this job, went quite smoothly !!! If only they were all like this, work would be a pleasure !!!!!!! Well done, Eric !!!!!!! Now you can enjoy Mrs. O.'s lunch of 3 pork chops, mashed potato's and cream beef gravy, mixed vegetables with home made french fries and spicy ketchup !!!!
Very thorough test drive. It shows you take care of your customers.
The pt cruiser knows everyone hates it so it tried to be nice to you so you would love it.
That's probably it see how it holds up when it's in the rustbelt for a few years
@@neilmurphy845 don’t ruin it!!!
@@disturbedrocks1996 haha more like PT loser that's what Alex on car throttle calls them
@@neilmurphy845 But have you ever driven or worked on one? These cars are decent but built to a price ( About $ 14,000 in 2006 )
@@bobroberts2371 no I've seen lots of video's on people having to fix them how come a Nissan Micra would of cost roughly the same price and there brilliant cars so is the VW up or the fabia and the Dacia sandero there all brilliant very reliable car's there all around 14,15 thousand euros don't know what that is in dollars
Two months ago I did front brake pads and rotors on my moms 07 Honda Accord with the big 3.0, I put it in reverse to back out of the driveway (forgot to pump the brakes first), talk about panic, I had a garage 50ft behind me. I yanked the e brake and slammed it in park which made quite the racket with the parking paw grinding. I quickly looked around to make sure no one saw me. I knew better, just forgot. He's right folks, do not forget to pump them up. It's not for the faint of heart.
A steering wheel puller helps push calipers back. The inside and outside pads don't interchange. Timing belts are known to cause cursing. Your Rear, tail lamp sockets may be used as a test light.
I have never seen a PT Cruiser that agreeable. Normally an oil change isn't that easy. Great videos.
I keep trying to get my brake clean to do that sound effect but I must be doing something wrong. I'll keep trying because everyone says I should be learning from these videos. Thanks Eric!
Welcome to Eric's homage to Seinfeld's famous "Nothing Happens" episode. Nothing bad happens except a "so bad it's good" physics joke regarding Newtons. You know, "Newtons" - the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second, named after Sir Issac of dropping apples fame!
Plus, the long awaited return of the Brake Cleaner sound effect!!!
Superb!!
PS Do you guys know how rare a physics joke - bad or good - is? Kudos to Eric!!!
Man you made that look so easy. Great video. I had to replace one on a friend's pt cruiser in my parking lot and had a heck of a time with the lower control arm.
What ? A video without big nasty !!! It appears that 2021 is looking good.. Thanks Eric O.
Better send vinny to buy a scratch off lol, how many people are gonna go bananas over the cotter key lololo
It was good hear it called a split pin! Here in the UK a cotter pin is something very different used to hold a pedal on a bicycle crank.
What a comedian you are. Everytime I use Brake clean spray I expect the music. I like the way you take the time to explain yourself in your own special way. Keep up the great work and stay safe up there.👍👍👍
There`s your problem lady, it`s a Chrysler. I too am addicted to brake clean...lol...no sheep sound for the fluid film? lol
I was waiting for something to go sideways, figuring maybe some other shop loosened all the hardware and bolts but couldn't get the bearing out so the owner passed it on to you. Must be a nice to fix cars south of the rust belt... Good and instructional, as always. Thanks, Eric!
Ooh nice! Hope to see the special edition big nasty!
No this one was not even rusty :(
@@SouthMainAuto :( no worries, the wait will be worth it when the right moment comes. Thank you for everything you do!
My favorite Channel yet as a mechanic love your Channel
You mean someone's been maintaining their PT? That's awesome 😎
I almost died when the brake cleaner came out and no fanfare. I am used to PA and NC cars. PA cars last 10 years, maybe. NC cars last 30 + years, unless run into a ditch. :)
Done plenty of those bearing races at home. Slot it at a diagonal with a dremel and cutting disc, then whack it with a chisel to fracture it. Takes a few minutes, but not a deal breaker for the DIY'er by any means.
Wow!!! It seems to be one of the better cars I’ve seen as far as rust is concerned!!!
Was nice to see the brake clean make an appearance. But you forgot the sheep sound with the film! Come on Eric your slipping. My life is simple, I look forward to little things like that. 😂
Your are on a roll, 3 videos in 3 days!
Sir I like the way you do stuff , very professional .
I owned a PT Cruiser. I had to replace front wheel bearings, tie rods, and ball joints on almost a yearly basis. That Cruiser is the reason I'll never own another Chrysler product again.
"You always think it's bigger than it really is." True that
Live in the UK and I f?! *Ing hate pt cruisers, got a shock of a dodgy plug wire on one and got a dodgy foot from another! Don't envy you dude, every one I've worked on stuff NEVER works out that easy. Keep up the excellent work, nice to see another pro at work 😁
I worked on this platform since 2003
I can do these jobs blindfolded !
The Turbo SRT4 neons are an amazing car
And even though I'm an old fart , i built one for myself and enjoy drag racing it
11.50 @ 125 MPH in the quarter WITH a front wheel drive manual trans 4 cylinder is crazy fun!
Keep rolling out those videos your advice is the best advice due to I have my own shop in Chicago but your videos Is what keep me going with all these cars that we have in Chicago
I love this video. Well done, Eric.
I almost got lost when you turned right instead of left. Woah! Then you turned left and I knew where we were. Whew.
And nothing went wrong. Must be an import from the South where salt is only used in the kitchen.
Thanks for taking us along Eric. Love your videos.
You make it look so easy, That is a pain in the ass for me, but you are a professional.
@20:30: I‘ve had that „heck of a ride“ once after the shop forgot to prime the brakes on my motorcycle. Scary moment when you grab the front brake and they‘ve replaced it with the easy-squeeze version. 😂😳
At least I was able to go between the lanes and stop after pumping it twice without resistance. No accident or damage.
Since then I have always done a quick brake check after any service on any vehicle.
It’s going to be time to replace my front hub bearing assembly soon. I need to get one of those sliding hammers. I borrowed one when I did my wife’s car. “Easy peasy”. When I did my rear bearings, I only had a hammer, a punch and swearing.
I noticed that Yukon depot sticker on that locker that’s my depot. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep em coming.
i think i am blessed got a sma video on my b day the day is complete thank you
FINALLY! Brake kleen noise! Just missed the sheep sound with the fluid film
Why do I always click on every video. I dont think I've seen anyone else do so many brake jobs or front wheel bearings and yet I still come back for every one 😂
The Brake clean but is great. Almost like Gtoger and the drumbeats!! Eric producing great content as always
