A real mechanic at work.... no cussing, no anger, has all the tools he needs and uses them and does just what is needed to accomplish the ordered job. A good example to follow when working on your own car.
As a mechanic in central Texas...I thank god I never see rust like you do on practically every car. Love the work you do Mr. O. Keep it up buddy!
The absolute best auto repair channel on youtube. Real world examples. Cars rust and you have to deal with it. Much more useful than the channels that work on new cars or on cars that were taken apart, put back together and then filmed. Love it.
Being a retired truck mechanic I sure enjoy watching your you tube videos.
You're very knowledgeable and talented. I'm from the Chicago area and I'm quite familiar with the road salt issues. Any young mechanics starting out should be watching your videos because you're quite the teacher.Keep up the great work Eric and stay safe.
I think I speak for a lot of us but I really enjoy that you talk to us like we are right in the shop with you!!! It’s great 👍 👍thank you!!
Rubber tire valve stem works miracles for plugging brake hose banjos.
Keep up the GREAT work SMA
No internet, no TVs, no phones ....... but uploads the best vids ever just proves Eric O can fix anything ! As he rightly says ....... I’M THE BOSS 👍🏼😁😁
Imagine a certain someone from north Carolina trying to do that job. That someone would be on the floor crying because it is so hard. Love your channel and your way of doing things.
just a returned free tip friday, if you remove the 4 differential mounting bolts and let it down the whole way no suspension removal is needed to gain access to the wheel bearing bolts. much faster and easier. as always keep up the great videos.
Good video, straight forward and, as mentioned, clean language. It amazes me manufacturers don't make this part out of SS given what it takes to replace it. They greatly extended the life of exhaust systems by going SS.
I’m an Apprentice Mechanic in Ireland and not gonna lie I’ve gone too some of your videos and I’ve learned more through your videos than I did in my 2 recent collage phases so thank you is in order
Favorite part - "anybody ever hugged a porcupine" and "I'm just hitting stuff now" Eric O. you are by far my favorite mechanic that also produces videos. Maybe we get can you a roadshow.
I understand Mr. O, sometimes you’ve just got to sleep or you’ll end up breaking stuff! I just love your channel sir, I’m a mechanic for Home Depot tool rental and I repair my coworkers vehicles on the the side on my days off for extra scrilla. You have helped me diagnose many vehicles and just want you to know that I’m very thankful for your time, may God bless you and yours!👍🏼
What a creative design, use a flex washer to offer some 'give' to the system, so applied torque reaches a plateau. That would also reduce the chance of early bearing failure when the assembly robots ovetorque to align cotter pin holes. Cool.
All european cars have used this design for decades now....You americans are behind the times with car tech chum lol
Korean know how.
@@NLJ1953 No actually..... The bellville washer was invented by a French man over a hundred years ago... but as it goes with automotive applications was used on Peugeot and citroen cars before Korean cars were even on the market in Europe!!!
Thank you for being awesome that short cut was perfect! I took off the lower A frame ,shock and trailing arm and I got the axle out of the way to get to the 4 bolts holding on the bearings in and tapped it out with hammer. Thank you for being awesome. I use PB blaster too spray on the bolts
The sheep sound for the fluid film is fantastic sir
Yes it is!
Its not baaaad is it.
I agree! Love that sound effect!
Yes that sheep sound is funny everytime
I can't use it in my own garage now without that sound effect popping into my head! 😂
I really appreciate the internet, when I see nice job like this. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Great video series so far with the Santa Fe, it brings back some memories from when I was a parts guy at a Hyundai dealership. That body style of Santa Fe starting in 2007 had known issues with rear hub & bearings. There's a dust shield that supposed to cover and protect the side of the bearing, but the ones that were put on in the factory had a gap that allowed dirt, grit and crud to get in and destroy the bearing. They were also prone to front sway bar links wearing out, fuel level sending units failing (they have two) and rear differential coupling units seizing. Very popular vehicles though!
Had no idea. Thank u
Yes, experiencing those exact issues on my rusty/crusty 220K 2007 Santa Fe, I have two of them , one I purchased new and am the original owner, and both have fuel level sending unit go bad plus the rust issues. however, one of them is a manual 5 speed !
Hi European Santa fe 2007 4WD owner here, at 200.000+ Miles I have changed sway bar bushes and rear hubs at 250.000 miles..No major issues if you wash and take care of your car.
I liked the music added at the beginning. When you say the " jiggly bits " it puts a smile on my face most times.
David E.S. Most men, and some women, just have a natural reaction of smiling at the mention of “jiggly bits” 😂
Thanks again Eric. I let my students see real world repairs. And the fact that you show US the opps moments is GREAT. Have a good weekend sir and rest up
Brooks said when he hangs out on the weekend he only frequents venues with BRASS bands.its good to unwind when you been hammered (on)all week 😎
Well played sir
wish you lived in my area,im in nb canada but watch your shows all the time,you are the best mechanic i ever seen every job you do is perfection or you dont do it,i wish all shops do that qwality of work
Not sure how many of these comments you read, but I want to sincerely thank you for these videos. I've gone from knowing absolutely nothing to knowing a little about maintenance and repair :). I even went out and bought some tools! Who knows? Maybe one day I will even use them. Thanks again. You've got a friend on Long Island.
I was that involved with this videeo that when Eric said "Close your eyes" as he sprayed the brake hose, I did!! 😊 What a nit wit I am. 😂🤣😆
but he didn't!
I was more than half asleep when I watched this one last night, so I'm watching it again this morning over a cup of coffee!
Lol. 23:17. I'm an ex army mechanic who went into teaching and that is one of the issues with the lockdown and parents.Kids lie easily and often because everything is immediate to them with very little thought of the future.We spend years getting used to the ways they use to get out of work. Keep the faith, do the best you can, dont let it get you down..
Too True😃
They use the same ways of getting out of work we did. Only the names change.
@@InsideOfMyOwnMind He said "kids", he didn't specify generations.
If there is a problem with a kid, I look at the parent....My daughter is married , 24 and she still asks permission if she visits, to use our things or eat our food.
Thanks for takin the time to bring us along Eric, it is appreciated. Living in a remote-ish part of the Scottish Borders I see a fair bit of rust, but that is another level, think I’d be pissed working on that crud everyday.
one of the main reasons i like living in the south... that rust don't play!
I love that you take the adage that anything is a hammer depending on how hard you want to swing it to heart. Pliers, airtools, screwdrivers, sockets, ratchets; I think I've seen you use everything.
Yeah I think it was "Every tool has a hammer side, even a hammer". Sort of related to "Don't know which end of screwdriver to hit a nail with".
All this rust makes me so glad I moved south. So many years spent working on the family's rusted cars. So much money needlessly lost having to replace said cars that ran great yet were so rusted they were dangerous.
Working on my Santa Fe that back rotor getting off was a nightmare on mind too!!!!also working on cars with a lift compared to from the ground,like a lot more satisfying!!
I Just did the same on my 2009 Sonata. Those dust shields, backing plates are expensive (130.00ea) but necessary and a dealer item only. Nice job with the videos too. I always check to see if there’s a time saver video prior to starting a pain in the A job. Thanks again
Hey Eric, a small tip for you. I always use some lock wire to pull the cable clamp fully back and time it below the parking cable mount. Install the cable end then remove the lock wire. Occasionally a piece of lock wire gets stuck under the arm, its a small piece and it will fall out on its own.
I've done brakes a bunch myself over the years, but I always enjoy your videos. I live in upstate South Carolina and I am fascinated by all the crusty rust in your vehicles! Cars don't rust very much around here.
Greetings from Europe, I live in France and I have a 2007 Sante Fe wonderful SUV if you take care of it. No salty roads and wash car underneath, no rust ! Tires and disks may last easily 100.000 miles. I have seen Santa fe make up to 500 000 Kms (400 000 miles) with no major issues. My rear hubs are OEM mounted and now I have to change them both at nearly 300 000Kms. I have only changed disks and pads so far :D
Thank God 🙏 for fluid film. I coat all my cars undercarriage twice a year and not even my winter daily which is a 1995 Toyota Camry looks nothing close to that rust bucket.
Eric the king of working on rusted gems. No other subscription comes close to SMA
That convex washer for the castle nut is like a crush washer on a muzzle device. Pretty smart design, I think.
Always good to see another video where Mr O is kicking the crust buckets tail!!!!! Always good to see big NASTY!! I been wanting one for a while. At 20:20 on them actuators we use muriatic acid. Just dunk them for 15 min and wash off with water to neutralize the acid. Gloves mandatory. Frees em up like a charm. Cleans all rusty parts fast!
Thanks again Mr O!
That domed washer is called a Belleville washer or spring. They can be used stacked to give higher or lower spring rates depending on how they're stacked - alternating way round gives lower, same way gives higher.
Eric, thanks for another 'entertaining' video. I know you say it is for entertainment, but I learn so much seeing how you overcome problems. More tools in my kit! Thanks!
I was told years ago that the clips/screws on the rotors and drums are installed to prevent them from falling off while the vehicle was moving down the assembly line
It happens , Having an angry day. Your speaking my language after doing this work 38 years. It just happens sometimes. Its good to walk away a minute sometimes. Retiring in 5 months. Fleet manager of Con Ed downstate. Plus owned my own shop. The pains suck. Be well Eric. Excellent videos. Always give yourself a break a cup of coffee, because it will catch up to you if you don't. By the way I bought 2 SMA coffee mugs for the garage collection. I also think you are an excellent Mech/tech. You have a great family be well.
Always a pleasure to see the special rust wrench being put to good use.
Wish you'd done this video about three weeks ago, so I could've watched it before I did this same exact job on my Elantra. At least it was gratifying to see that I'm not the only one who struggles with getting parking brake shoes on, or to get the hub lined up with its bolts.
I like that term "HANGRY". I've been there and know what that is like! Little stuff starts to eat at you and you want to break stuff just because...your hungry and tired and just plain had enough!
Awesome as always, hang in there and hope you are feeling better.
Your fight against rust is always amazing, this was definitely on the easier side this go round.
All my best to you and the family.
Super helpful video. You made this shadetree Dad's life a lot easier!
Eric, you give me the confidence to tackle some things that I haven't done. Thanks !!
Hi Eric,
"Trust me!", you're beginning to sound like a car dealer❗
It's a good thing that we've seen enough of your videos to know that we would trust you with whatever work that our vehicles might need.
Thanks for another great video. Stay healthy!
Brake clean , Big Nasty, and fluid film sounds in the same segment, my week is complete.
Brake clean and sheep sound all in one vid.. I can now die a happy man..thanks Eric O.
Found another video that is going to help me out. I thought I watched the right video about the Santa Fe rear bearings, but nope. Must have been a different year with the ABS ring inside the bearing. I got all prepared to get the bearing out, and the ABS ring was in the way. I was trying to figure out how to get the CV axle out so I could get to the bolt heads. Came back to utoob and your video was suggested on the side. Just what I needed to see. Thanks!
Also, thanks for the tip on gravity bleeding. I'm doing the rear calipers on my daughter's Rogue, so she'll be able to spend less time helping me if I gravity bleed them first. LOL
I was 24, working in laboratory of Dr. Margret Hunter. We were working on the biochemistry of blood. One day at noon she said, "I am going home. I keep making mistakes, noting in going right, and I know from experience the day will not get better." And she did. Eric O. says, at 44:37, "I find it is best if I don't work when I don't feel good." Right you are.
Great job Eric, keep up the work on the Hyundai!
Somewhere here I have an old school drum brake tool that’s headed your way if I can find it. It’s perfect for putting those springs on the nail with one hand and your chin. ;) The old tools are the best ones.
Love the vids and sarcastic comments. Keep it up - best repair channel on YT
"I'm talkin to ya like you're actually doing this..."
I am, Eric, I am. Thanks for the video showing me which rigamarole I actually needed to take off on my Wisconsin via New Jersey model. Not everything, just the wheel bearing on mine, but still, all the same rust.
Nice to hear the correct pronunciation of Aluminium!
He just does that to be humorous.
@@reecenewton3097 Possibly, but as to the pronunciation, as far as I know, it rhymes with "sunday", easy!
Yup can confirm I bought a snowmobile and it didn’t snow. Next time I’ll just get tracks for my atv and register it as a sled in NH. At least if it doesn’t snow I have an atv to use come summer.
There and alls you got to do is give the rotor a little tappy, tap, and she comes right off!!! Yea I think he ran out of sheep in a can.....Nice Job Eric always ice to see you working on southern kinda cars!!!!
id like to thank you for all the videos you post ..im a disabled mechanic that works at home ...i learn alot from your videos....maybe someday i can return the favor...its a hobby i enjoy very much i dont know what else i can do...id just be sitting around the house rotting ,,,lol
Yes! Brake clean AND fluid film noises. My day is complete.
Love the new addition of music now and then
Love your ad libs when you’re deeply engrossed in your work.
Great video you learn a lot of little tricks by watching how everything is done.
i have a 03 Santa fe i had to do a front axle and had to take everything off and use a 20ton press to remove the hub and i had to get creative to get the other end of the axle off. the splines had all kids of rust in there the 20ton press had a work out. i still have to replace something like the spindle and do a new wheel bring and hub. the rust for the up of Michigan and the northern part of the lower part of Michigan. and doing all four breaks on it was a joy, but one going thing all the slide pins moved free. i was surprised of that
“It can’t be seized if it’s liquid” hahaha love the commentary Eric. Thanks for all the videos.
Yes got a saying for every occasion. I respect a little bit of "banter"
That is an old saying, every mechanic whether auto, truck, or heavy equipment, everywhere can appreciate and uses.
Really enjoying this series. Thank you.
I just went through all of this, knowing my '11 SF GLS needed backing plates and the complete parking brake assemblies on both sides. I originally sent it in last week and had to rebook it a week later because the axles were seized in both hubs. The shop wanted to have new hubs and axles on hand in case they destroyed the originals, plus he is one of the busier and well known to be trusted shops in our small area (Windsor, Nova Scotia, higher up in the rust belt). Over the summer, I ordered two complete backing plates (OEM Hyundai parts) that included everything including the actuator. My AC also died in the spring, so I ordered a compressor and condenser from Rockauto. I should have added two wheel bearings/hubs and two rear axles, because in the end, they had to be pulled from the differential as one assembly, they were seized that bad, and I had to pay for the overpriced local parts from the shop that did the work. This was after I had the drivers side apart about a month ago, trying to replace the parts myself. I failed miserably, mind you, I don't have a hoist, and most of the work was done on my 44 year old, construction-abused knees, and I didn't have nearly enough leverage, even with a breaker bar, to get some of the fasteners loose. It ended up costing me alot more than I had planned on spending, but at least now it has a new 2 year MVI sticker on it and working AC, and the parts they bought are lifetime warrantied. What frustrates me is given the right shop to work out of, I have the ability and tools to complete the work, which typically saves me a lot of money. However, all I have is an attached garage, which, granted I can do basic stuff like oil changes, brake work, and tire/wheel swap-overs. 2 years out of high school, I had completed a basic MVR mechanical course at the local community college and started working at a small Ford dealership in our local town. However, I was only 18 when I started that job, and the shop foreman was a prick, who clearly had a dislike for me. I only worked there for 9 months, and I did learn quite a bit. But I ended up going back to construction work with my father after being laid off in the winter.
I got one coming in the shop next week, warranty subframe on the rear. Gonna pull out the torch and just cut everything off.
Absolutely brilliant! Sorry you had to wash several tonnes of dirt off the bottom.. but good work!!
I like your attention to detail when it comes to Lubrication,wire brushing parts etc, excellent camera work too!👏☘
just so you know some of us watch on our wife's profile. my name is Eddie , from Mississippi been watchin for a few years now . keep up the great vids been a lot of help and entertainment !!!!
On an information sharing note - that axle washer can be referred to as a spring washer - unless Hyundai calls it something else which is always possible.... LOL Eric great video as always !!!
Or maybe you like the name "springy springy steel thingy"...
I just worked on an Outback that looks just like this. I live in Oregon, where we don't get rust, but for some unknown reason, despite the fact that you can't stick out your arms without touching a perfectly "good" (or at least rust free) Subaru here, the person decided to buy one from ALASKA. Ugh. I put a steering rack on it, which requires removing the rotten exhaust system. Somehow I only broke one bolt, and it was one of the spring bolts between the cat and rear exhaust, so it was simple to replace. I don't know how you work on cars like that every day, but I hope you charge more than book time.
You do good work Eric. Thanks for giving me the confidence to finally tackle my moms old car. Rusty grand am up here in Canada. Two seized sliders, two ground down caliper bracket bolts, two piston rebuilds, two wheel cylinders, and all new hardware, and 1 new line, and that thing stops like a dime :) Nice safe ride for my mom to finish the summer with, until the rust finishes eating it alive.
You were good
I went through half my life not knowing how to use a "ball-peen" hammer. When using an expanding fastener, you put the ball on the fastener, then hit the face of the "ball-peen" hammer with a second hammer. I don't doubt there are many occasions when this little bit of knowledge would be useful.
Losing a car to get Mrs "O" sounds like a win to me...I'll bet she will last a lot longer.
" it can't be seized if it's LIQUID " 🤘
That one had me chuckling.
Gawd brake videos are my favorite by far!
rotate the rotor/drums hats around while air hammering if they're junk or rubber mallet/soft dead blow if trying to save. the rust usually breaks up and cleans off enough for them to slide over the shoe.
Hey I have to ask this .. do any of your customers ever look at the videos of their car being repaired by you? and or do they ever question if something was done or not?.. I'm not a mechanic but I sure have learned so much watching you work.. man its a shear pleasure to watch your videos..
Nice job, lots of work done to it. The rear coil springs look like they may break soon because the rust is eating on them.
I have a 2010 V6 AWD, I just bought the loaded backing plates, time you buy the plates, the parking brakes and hardware the price difference is negligible, and there's no messing about with trying to save old parts, just swap the new plates in and hook up the cable.
I just put a hose reel and an extension cord reel on the ceiling in the garage at my house, they're both very handy!
Proof that leaving all the issues on a car until the last minute means one big repair bill instead of smaller ones :) - personally I couldn't drive something that rough for that long - bet that Hyundai drives so smooth now! No idea what that brown crusty stuff is though... Greetings from Australia! :-D
Always good to watch a pro
Love your video’s! Used to be a mechanic, but mostly love em cause you’re easy on the eye 😜
I am a Kroil fan-boy. I learned a long time ago that, given a day or two to soak in, Kroil will release just about anything.
I too have a Santa fe (awd) and this video is very helpful. Can you please make a video for starting cranks 5 seconds or more till it starts . I will appreciate the information .
Great video, I am doing just tires, oil changes, alignments and the occasional brake job where I work but can't wait to do the more interesting stuff. Very nice and informative video.
Above and beyond with the camera work.
Best tool you add to any shop! The Flaming Wrench.
michael shampine called a “hot wrench” in Cali
Late night videos, we don't hurry the job...right Mr. O?
Enjoy the work...we know you do! 👍
I had a similar problem with the 2004 Dodge Durango and the parking brake broke and made a terrible grinding noise. I didn't want to spend the money to fix everything so I did a parking break delete. The regular brakes worked just fine. I realize you can't do that in a shop especially with an inspection but I told the guy I sold the vehicle to, there is no parking brake.
Yes the sound effects are back, I honestly missed them in your last video.
So did I
Me too
I don't envy USA mech's at all. All that rust!
Man, if an inspector at the "Dept of main roads" here in Aus sees a bit of surface rust ANYWHERE on a vehicle they have kittens for days.
We call it the "roadworthy kit". 4 tins of Degreaser, silicon spray, and 3 tins of gloss black spray paint.
Is only a problem east of the Rocky Mountains. I was a mechanic in California and never had to deal with rust like that, except on a few cars that came from the east. If I grew up east of the Rockies, I would have become an electrician.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 Heh, I've been working as a mech for 12 years but never got qualified. Now I'm looking to start an apprenticeship as a sparky.
@Samuel Lim999 Oh, I'm well aware of why it is so. It's just amazing to see the differences in organisations.
Same goes with your police, you get pulled up on a bike or car over there, often just have a chat with the officer, get a verbal warning and you're on your way. Over here, you get pulled up by a pig, you're getting a ticket, period. The only question is how many ticket's you're gonna get.
There are areas west of the mountains that have bad rust problems, anywhere near the
coast of Washington state, onshore flow of salt air and you have serious rust, I've had
to fix all manufacturers frames with fish plates and channel, so it's not just in the east,
I grew up in Toronto, and watched my first car dissolve...
As a married man I'm going to wager that Mrs. O is the boss. AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!
Rust n crust. Feels like home! (Sweden) :)
Turning the key on my Subaru has become an act of faith. As the engine grumbles to life on this fine New York morning, the yellow check engine comes on , as it has everyday for the past three years, and the same questions swirl in my mine. Is this the day that tiny head gasket leak turns into a gusher? Is this the day that the catalytic converter chokes closed for good? Is this the day that one speck of sand too many works it's way into the cracked CV joint boot, causing it to seize up at some bend in the road and send me spinning into a ravine, not to be discovered until spring?
I intimately know everything wrong with this car, I feel the squishy brakes and the engine straining to get up a hill, and I hear the ominous grinding sounds coming from under the right front wheel well. But I can't afford to do anything about it to ward off those looming disasters.
And I am not the only one, there are a lot of folks in this predicament.
Page 60 of the June 2020 edition of Car and Driver would like a word.
Even pending doom sounds lovely when you memorialize it!
Hi Carol
My name is Jeff
Subaru is like Toyota in some ways. They run a long time.
Keep the Faith😊
Forgive me , Caroline
Living in New Mexico I buy old cars that are rust free all the time. Have too many of them. I usually pay $1200 for a mechanically clean example that just needs some tlc and minor items addressed.
Sorry to get off track but I noticed you have your new lifts. Awesome.
Yes with new lifts Eric is a full inch taller!!!😃lol
