You are a wonderful dad, god bless you.
Scotty what’s the hanging pressure washer your using and where can I get it. I’m gonna buy it ❤️

My wife 2005 Toyota camry makes a rattle noise only when placed on gear , i had them change the timing belt and the tensioner, and drive belt tensioner the VTI and the noise persist ! What is your suggestion ?
"So why not be like me..fix everything yourself..you'll save a fortune..you'll have peace of mind knowing that it was done right"..👍👍👍💪
But we don't know what Scotty does. Some of us were not allowed to take shop---lest we learn a useful, practical or marketable skill.
That's why I have always done as many car repairs myself other than rebuilding an automatic transmission. Then i quit buying cars with automatic transmission. Never even needed a clutch replacement on my manual cars. Had to replace a clutch pedal cable a couple times on a Geo Spectrum. Took less than 15 minutes, and they're cheap enough that you can just keep one in the trunk. And a hydraulic clutch doesn't even have a clutch pedal cable.
Until you mess up and need the dealer. Everything fine as long as you know wht u doing, but would not recommend anyone to just start doing everything themselves watching youtube videos
@@akulkis I’ve been driving manual transmission cars and trucks for 20 years. I’ve had to replace the clutch on two different occasions on two different vehicles. No clutch lasts forever unless you’re flipping cars every few years.
@@clyde9659 I disagree, youtube and internet are enough to learn anything and you would be much better than the dealer technicians if you have the right tools.
If I wasn't so old, Scotty could have been my favorite Uncle.
My new 85 Camaro, greased it every 3k miles with oil change.
Sold to my brother 15 years later, all original front end parts in perfect condition. Northeast
That's awesome!
I'm the same age as my uncle
As a kid I bought a used root beer brown, tan interior 79 Z28. That's the only Chevy , where I thought, this is awesome. Looking back, it was. The most impressive thing for me, was that console shift. It was as buttery as a Lincoln" Handled well, SMOOOTH. Definitely one of Chevys best. Then the 90s came. 👎

Go to Pep boys for a wheel alignment and I guarantee they will tell you that either control arms or ball joints are needed.
Mechanic: Get out of here!
I uses spray silicone on rubber and plastic. Lithium is petroleum based and can degrade rubber. Lithium grease is preferred for metal-on-metal applications, not metal on rubber. Oil and grease attract dust and dirt, so just don’t “spray and pray.” If you incidentally lube wheel studs you should decrease the torque on the lugs by 15%. Don’t go crazy with a pressure washer, it can force water past seals, once I saw someone knock their carburetor loose with a pressure washer. To lubricate truck leaf springs I use hot dirty motor oil and a brush.
100%
and you do not put lithium grease on the lug nut bolt threads...........gezzzzzzzzz
@@johnbielenda7336 but those wheels are self-changing right after the last nut falls off.
I use used motor oil on my Shackles on my horse trailers plus my rubber tires so they don't dry rot and if I got any leftover I use it on my horses hoofs and legs so the Flies don't eat them up!!!!
Scotty, back in the late 80s I would use a torque wrench on my aluminum rims. I always followed the proper values in the spec sheets. Once I decided to spray lube on the bolts to make the nuts easier to remove. Well, I found out that it allowed the torque wrench to over torque the nut and stress the wheel studs. Had two of them snap. Bought two new ones and nuts, then cleaned the others with solvent. Found out the torque values in the spec sheets are for dry threads only and that you can over torque the studs if you apply lube.
interesting. i put the Permatex anti-seize paste on my hubs and lug nuts... i usually just tighten the lugs enough to be sure that they are removable on the side of the road with the normal hand tools in the jack kit.
i never thought about the anti-seize allowing things to overtighten
Most fasteners have a wet & dry torque spec. Wire brush the rust off the wheel stud & apply light coat of antiseize (for us rust belt drivers) and reduce the torque setting on your wrench by 20-30%. 👍
True.....I use wd40 which i then wipe off with a rag thus cleaning the threads and leaving a light film of WD.....has a good feel for me when i torque em
So true of the one guys post, use antiseize sparingly. Won’t mess up the torque.
Always wondered about that. I also lightly put wd40 and wipe it. I use the standard wrench thinking that this is built into the design. I keep a pipe in the car to remove more easily. Never had a problem.
Another tip: I use anti-sieze compound for keeping the rims from sticking to the hubs. The little brush used to apply the anti-sieze compund eliminates te overspray of grease.
Yep, I had a miserable time getting the factory rotors off my car. I slathered the hubs with anti-seize before putting the new ones on.
Almost Anything you dont want to stick rusted froze.
I've had the same issue with my f150 for the past week. sprayed some white lithium near the leaf springs and bushings and it stopped immediately. Scotty is awesome.
I did the same with my mustang. No squeaking 🙏
Most older Ford's have plugs that look like set scews where grease fittings should be.Just remove the plugs and put grease fittings in. An old Ford mechanic showed me that my old 66 Mustang squeak like crazy,it's an easy fix.
I just did my daughter’s Corolla oil and filter. Checked tires, hinges lubed, fuel system cleaner. TN car so no corrosion yet. Next year when she moves to Knoxville it will be time for fluid film!
Fluid Film - excellent product !
Tip: Spray the wheel, not the brake rotor.
Exactly, then you don't get grease on lug threads.
Tip: use a thin layer of brake caliper grease. No spray...
@@reubenmorris487 aka silicone grease
@@Mr.Z1776
Greese on the lug threads isn't a problem. In fact, I don't just put grease on my lug threads, I put anti-seize compound on them (grease PLUS finally powdered copper/and or aluminum). I've never had a problem with lug nuts staying tight, and they are never difficult to remove when I *WANT* to remove them, because they don't corrode (because of the grease), and the grease doesn't overheat (because the copper and/or aluminum improves heat flow through to the lug nuts, just like thermal grease on a computer CPU heatsink).
@@reubenmorris487 is that red grease?
So it's actually a "Corroda"?😂
It’s always fun to watch Scotty because he has such a loveable personality
Scotty, I just discovered your videos and spent hours reviewing them. All I can say is I wished I had an honest, highly knowledgeable and competent mechanic such as yourself. Your amazing videos have made me more of an informed car consumer armed with the great knowledge and tips you've made available to ALL car owners or potential car buyers. I'm sure your retirement is well deserved and may you be richly blessed with spending it with family and friends for many years to come.
Don't retire Scotty! We can rest when we die. Just scale back. If you go, it'll be a sad day. ,😢
Can I put this on DVD? Please Please Please.
I share same sentiment.. Scotty ...am also Scott by the way🥰
Scotty is the man!
"All I can say"... Plus 2 more paragraphs!
Come on Scotty, you always give good advice. The wheel is sticking on because of corrosion in the aluminum wheels centering bore and the protruding centering flange on the hub assembly. The salt brine gets between the two dissimilar metals (aluminum & steel) and electrolysis starts and speeds corrosion in-between them. Spraying grease on the center of the rotor like you show isn’t going to do much to help. Sanding the wheels centering bore and applying grease will slow that problem. Might as well rub some Never-Seize on the wheels studs as well. ~ John B, the New York body man, 50+ years
I did saw a Real life Car mechanic use anti seize stuff on wheel studs. Looks like it is the best way to do it.
Use Aluminum or Copper anti-seize on the back of your wheels to stop them from getting stuck on. Put it on 1 time and you're done for at least 10 years with no worries of the wheel getting stuck on.
Keep up the good work Scotty. Watching from Nigeria, in Africa
hello and thank you!
I’ll bet that Scotties kids would not dare to buy anything but Toyotas !!’
He bought the cars for the kids lol
His grand son buys a lot of different brands.
They would be written out of the Will!
His grandson once bought a BMW😁
He would take up smoking just to put a cig out on their necks
That’s normal for us Scotty. Never seen a braking system that is less rusty. I’m in southern Ontario, Canada.
I know the pain, I live here as well.
Spray your wheels/brakes off as much as possible during winter and they won't look that way
Yes I live here as well and change my wheels over between summer and winter myself. I have never seen less rust than what he had there but I do lubricate the surfaces so I have no issues. Also, 2009 Volvo c30 driven all winter has no rust, probably because I get it oil sprayed regularly and spray wash the salt off regularly. Cleaning and lubricating, folks.
Great maintenance video, Scotty! One word of advice for viewers is to be careful with a pressure washer, especially with the 0-degree tip. You can cut through bushings (and your shoes/feet!) if you aren't careful. Just something to be aware of.
I would recommend spraying that grease on the corresponding spots on the wheel instead of the rotor. Less chance of getting it on the working surface of the rotor. Also good time to Mop n Glo your tires 🌟😁 🌟. I'm surprised Scotty wasn't spraying those bushings with that ATP-205 he's so fond of.
Yes I thought AT205 was the ultimate rubber preservative ?
Need more info on the pressure washer. Absolutely need one of those.
Grandfalls Pressure Washer
Get a gas one.
costs $309 bucks...
@@76reliant Yeah there expensive, also a long pipe and accessories will cost more too.
Whoa, that 0 degree nozzle... might be a little too... ouch... for the rubber bushings. That thing will take off 30 year old chewing gum. I can imagine what it'll do to a piece of car rubber.
Yes Scotty! I want to be like you. And fix my vehicles myself! Scotty you are an awesome mechanic!

I won't argue with.
I like the pressure washer setup! But I wouldn't use lithium spray grease on those rubber suspension bushings.
Lithium is petroleum based, and it tends to speed up rubber and plastic deterioration. I would use a silicone based grease which preserves rubber. Plumbers use silicone grease for rubber faucet valves o-rings.
There's silicone grease spray but I wonder if the other chemical ingredients that allow the silicone grease to stay liquid will deteriorate rubber?
Many valve cover gaskets are made of silicone because it doesn't deteriorate from motor oils or petroleum based oils.
Scotty is usually right about what he says BUT NOT ENTIRELY this video time. In one of his previous videos he says LITHIUM GREASE is for Metal on Metal use. And it is NOT suggested to use Lithium Grease on Rubber or Plastics since Lithium is a Petroleum based Lubricant and can Degrade both of these rather than Protect them such as the Creaking Rubber Bushings in this video.
Exactly right. This is actually an ASE Maintenance and Light Repair test question. Rubber bushings should NOT be greased with petroleum lubricants.
Correct.. use a heavy silicone spray on anything rubber or plastic
We love Ya, Scotty!! You have given us years of Joy!!
I have the same car, doing the same thing also in MA and the creaking is driving me nuts. Fortunately for me all the mechanics I have taken the car to have been honest and said there is nothing wrong. Now I know what to do.
Just spray all of the rubber bushings with silicone lube. There is usually no need to remove the wheels. Easy.
@@wholeNwon Thank you I wasn’t looking forward to removing the wheels.
You could use AT-205 Reseal that rejuvenates dried out rubber
Love Scotty honest as the day is long.
Here in Wisconsin a lot of folks like to use Fluid Film to prevent rust and corrosion. Give everything under the vehicle a good coating before salt truck season and you'll see a big improvement.
I love Scotty but I despise lithium grease. It inevitably dries out and turns to hard particles. And it looks bad on door hinge and latch hardware. I use Lubriplate for grease on door latches. LPS 1,2 , and 3 for general purpose lube. A quality anti seize for the brake disc and hardware. And silicone spray for rubber bushings. If I’m assembling new rubber bushings I use silicone grease like DC4.
I can't believe they got rid of zirk fittings on almost everything except 3/4 and 1 ton pickups. The old vehicles I used to own never needed any suspension work, they were greased every time I changed my oil. I bought a 1/2 ton about 5 years ago and was amazed they make trucks without fittings.
A leaf blower works great to dry things quickly after powerwashing.
Scotty, if you decide to retire, you will be surely missed. Especially your sense of Humour. Best wishes.
… well, … I’ve heard you never put a lubricant on lugs, as they’ll allow the nuts to loosen, even if properly torqued. Also, the corrosion should be removed from the hub and the inside of the removed rim to insure a cleaned, flat surface in order to prevent lug nuts from loosening … I had a Honda Odyssey with aluminum wheels that needed this done once a year - almost lost a front wheel …
I put a tiny amount of silver anti sieve on all lugs on our boat trailer. Check torque after 50 miles. Never had an issue and we boat in salt water.
Same here. My cousin is a seasoned mechanic and he said the same thing. Never on lug nuts.
I put a drop of engine oil on the thread of the lug nut 🔩 for decades.
Then torque it to OEM spec.
Never have any problem.
Only note that the studs and the nuts looks like new everytime during winter tire change over.
I am getting sick and tired randomly some mechanic over tighten those lug nuts to over 250 ft/lb on a manufacturer spec of 87 ft/lb wheel when buying new tires with installation.
@@loktom4068 that sounds like a better idea. Thx for sharing.
I've put anti-seize on lug nuts for over 40 years and never had one come loose. I don't put lube on the shoulder where the nut contacts the rim though, that's where I want lots of friction.
Had a 67 Cougar that someone put grease fittings on the ball joints and control arms so it was easy to keep lubricated.
I Love this guy Scotty . Honest and smart
I have always used anti-seize on wheel studs and center hubs. never a problem
Me too...for 50 years
That CRVs intake hose could have dry rotted and has some cracks in it, also the knock sensor goes back on the k24 and drops gas mileage terribly. I have an 03 accord and replacing the knock sensor increased my gas mileage from 21ish back up to the 29-30 it used to get. Also replacing the dry rotted intake hose helped with my rough idle because it was cracked in multiple places.
Great advice
Nice. I was taught to use anti-seize on the front of the rotor/back of the rim to prevent it from corroding and not being able to remove the wheel in the future.
Scotty you’re a national gem!
Living in salt land, you must wash it every day before putting it to bed. Clean the crap out of the underneath, brakes spindles shocks, all of it. It will help save your car. Even if it's snowing out do it. Salt will destroy a car in 18 months.. If they put that liquid brine solution on the roadways. Holy crap> Have had that stuff eat through the wiring harness. Another great video Scotty.
I spray loads of silicone lube on all the rubber bushings and parts every time I’m working on the car,all the gaiters etc
Really soak the rubber parts
Yes! You are the Man Scotty I learn so much watching these videos
The reason tie rods and ball joints don't need grease is because the inside is now plastic rather than metal so you don't have to worry about binding and what not. Also never grease your stud threads because lug nut torque specifications are set to be torqued DRY and not lubricated. Never over tighten your lug nuts
Exactly and tighten them to spec (torque wrench) in the proper pattern.
Too right, Michael. Grease or lube of any sort will affect stated torque readings AND too, any 'lube' on the wheel studs will potentially loosen the lug nuts!
scottie has all the joy...of a child...thank you scottie....
You're the man Scotty!👍
One thing about your video blogs! Your son's cars are working right. For you making your videos. I really injoy watching them! Thank you! Scotty!😊
Scottie get well my friend. Your the best in this crooked the industry.
Thank you!
Very neat garage
Hey Scottie I can see that power washer compromising that rubber bushing especially when they get old and stiff , if it splits than you have a real problem
That stuff works great on door hinges and latches too... also the sun roof slides!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Love what you share! Thank you!! Love all of your videos 🙂🥰🙏
cheers from holland .this vid is the best ever
Scotty to the Rescue!! 🥰♥️🙏 Love this man... He's amazing; a great and honest mechanic 🙏🥰
Dont ever retire!!!!!!!!!! I need to watch more videos! Keep making more!!!!
Never wash your radiator or air conditioner coil with a pressure washer you will bend the fins making it hard for it to cool.
I was warned that putting lube on lugs could cause the bolts to stretch when getting the nuts to proper torque.
Thestargazer the studs yes, notice he didn’t get it on the studs. The studs is the part you want to avoid.
Nice curb rash on that Corolla. Some people just don’t care about their cars.
Good advice as always! There is great satisfaction in fixing your car right and economically.
White lithium grease story: Control arm ball joint squeaking -- good, no play. Pierced joint rubber seal, squirt in white lithium, RTV to plug hole in seal -- no squeak. A little life extension at low cost...
Good info. I'll do the same to the bushings on my 12 year old vehicle. A a few sprays of that lithium grease should do it.
Every video I learn something new. Thank you so much kind sir!
Buy a $1500 winter beater and keep your other car for dry days…
Thanks Scotty! My car has been squeaking when I go over speed bumps and over the curb to my driveway. Not a big deal but not nice. I bought white lithium grease and sprayed all of the rotating points where the springs and such are mounted to the frame. The squeaking went away! I appreciate the info you shared. Thanks!
Thank you, and most Appreciated for All your hard and Informative Work.
dONT even THINK ABOUT leaving us Scotty. Your my favorite . from a fellow engineer & master tech
Wow! Nice to see this!
Thank you Scotty your knowledge is greatly appreciated 👍
For an old guy, Scotty has not lost his jacking skills!
This guy simply can't be beat!
Scotty is in love with his pressure washer. Ain't it great when you find something that really works.
That might be hs son's pressure washer? Good one for sure though
Hello Scotty... ...I put a light coat of synthetic break grease on my lug nut seats and on the lug studs. Never have to fight with removing lug nuts. Never had a problem with lug nuts backing out.
I would never allow lube of any kind to get on stud threads of lug nuts.
Thank you for the video
THANK YOU SCOTTY FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!
This was very helpful. Love your videos. Thanks!
White Lithium grease is what I use for squeaky garage door. I learned that from the garage door guy.
I always keep a can of lithium grease around. It also works well for door hinges, slides, and latches. Lithium grease was made for these applications where low-speed high-wear contact surfaces are. I also keep a can of "dry" silicone handy for weather seals, door locks (older cars), etc.
I just discovered this video and Scotty! Very entertaining and informative... Thank you so much! You're awesome!
Good job!
My brother used to spray white lithium grease on main and rod bearings during a rebuild. Good stuff.
Great Video
Best mechanic on youtube 🤘
Just given this a whirl today, will see how it goes on my next trip!
I wouldn't use a pressure washer anywhere near rubber seals, especially the table mounts. Best to leave it be. I do agree with lubrication on rubber for noise prevention only if it's necessary. I would only use a lub that is not harmful for rubber too. Some may dry out and eventually crack the rubber. I was actually shocked that Scotty put a pressure washer near those mount bushings.
I agree. Pressure washes are useless as cleaners in 90% of cases. Sandpaper for the rusted sections, air blower to clean it out, followed by some bituminised anti rust aerosol to seal it. I'd actually apply it to those parts when new as a prevention.
I use a pressure washer the same way. I just blast out the dirt and the gravel and whatever loose crap is sitting there. It works awesome. You don't sit there and run a bead concentrated for one or two minutes and that's not what he did either.
Great editing
You are the best ever Scotty.Should come visit us in Australia sometime.
I bought a 76 Plymouth that had been hit hard on the passenger side. It had spent all its life in Arizona, never get any salt on it. The owner asked me if I wanted any parts, he knew I had a Plymouth Duster. He wanted the disk brakes for his older Barracuda. I could have the car free of cost IF I removed all the brake parts and returned them to him.
I was amazed when I started tearing it down. Once the wrench snapped the bolts loose I could turn them with one finger! After struggling with rusty cars in Wisconsin all my life, that was like working on a new car.
I saved the engine and trans because they were identical to my Duster. Headlights, ignition system, wheels, all the bulbs, radiator. I sold the hood and trunk lid then junked the body.
Now, if I plan to buy a used car, I search for one from a state that doesn't use salt.
I pull my breaks every 6 months or 6 K miles since I live in Central NY state to make sure they look OK and everything is moving. Fun stuff.
Love you Scotty God Bless
I'm also a Masshole. I use anti-seize everywhere, not just lugnuts.
Scotty your videos are indispensible !! The other tool that has saved me a lot of time and money over the past 25 years is the Plews grease needle. At 150K on my 2000 F150 a tire tech told me I would need new tie rod ends and ball joints though no unusual tire wear . On the lift he yanked on the wheel and was astonished no free play in any direction. He'd never heard of grease needles. Two pumps of grease once a year and some spoogy exudate . Now at 350K starting to get a little up and down so might only get 400K on the ball joints and tie rods.
Scotty, you will be sorely missed when you retire. I fully understand what you mean 😢 about changing locations. Moved from Plano, TX to Luverne, AL and everything rusts out here. It has been a constant battle.
Does a 2012 Toyota corolla have ten year coolant in it
Good stuff
I live up here in the northeast. And when I do a Brake Job, I don't rely on that petroleum jelly in a packet. I used to use anti-seize, just because of all the salt that's used on the roads around here! I enjoy watching you're videos & content. I & my brother used to have a shop together. Surprisingly nothing ever came back. And we could do it all at an affordable price !!!
I have the same corolla and same color and it happens the same to mine, thanks Scotty now I know what to do😊
When I first started to buy aluminum alloy rims (in the 70's) I learned that the rims would weld themselves to the rotor and wheel hub. Also those steel lug nuts, with the polished stainless steel caps on them will weld themselves to the lug holes. Rather than do what you do, I use a Never-Seize compound. It's a brush on silver material. Since using this I've never had any problem.
in the country I live in, they use an incredible amount of salt on the roads in the winter. winter can be harsh. not like in alaska then but hard enough somewhere
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 👨🔧 Scotty
you are the best mechanic , and i don"t even have to drive to see you . Tkyou .
I used to work with a buddy who was a long time tire shop veteran. He freaked when I put lubricant on the wheel studs.
I considered his point of view for a long time. But it is ultimately an inclined plane. Metal on metal. Back in the day, a certain auto manufacturer (whose name is heresy on this channel) used to put left handed thread on the left side! I think the important thing is to check your lugs on occasion and rotate your tires every oil change?
Love White Grease ,,when i get going i use the whole can,,,,,,door hinges anything that moves or is a rust trap ...Love that hose to 👍🏼😎
