lol
I get a kick out of when we overlap similar vehicles.... (mine isn't public, yet. Next week if the editing goes well)
This might well be the most double entendre-laden video in SMA history. Even got the Mrs. in on the action. Well done.
I been saying that the last few videos! I hope it didn't take me 5 years to actually notice it.. lol
So true. He had to biting his lip all thru it
It's actually adorable in a way ... I mean that genuinely
It's hard not to when you've got another man's leaky shaft in your hands.
She’s getting a pay raise!
Who knew the axle shaft seal could include so many inuendos, love it.
The test drive was beautiful! I enjoyed the music with it. Another Great SMA 2 part video. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Here's a mechanic with an on-the-go lifestyle. One day, dining at a three-star restaurant in Manhattan. Next day, getting a Jeep back on the road. Another reason to be grateful we live in the USA, where hard work can be rewarded.
Nice to see the country near Avoka: thanks for including.
Mrs O is a national treasure! Thanks for the entertaining video! 😂
Your janitor did a fantastic job cleaning up that differential case overnight. Made it so you could go right to work. He deserves a raise!
I still chuckle every time Eric says, "Hey, it's that guy!"
“Grab my shaft..” “I’ll guide you in” , “ I am innocent” Love this couples’ interplay.
Dang Mrs.O stole the show swinging a hammer and hitting what she aimed at every time. Etic you best remember that before you get her upset. ;)
You should see her and Mr.O on the other channel with a compound bows. If I remember correctly she won 😅.
I see that even Mrs O knows how to drive it in 😂🎉
I couldn't wait for Part II to drop, and I wasn't disappointed! The first few minutes of Eric and Mrs. O, were priceless!
The BEST helper EVER !!!! Well done Mrs O !!!!
K. My Wife and I are are both gigglin' at the beginning of this one lol
Part 1 of this procedure was nice and family friendly. As soon as Mrs. O makes an appearance things get spicy.
That's true!
@@SouthMainAuto ... Any prognosis on when the shock absorber eyes may bounce off?
@@SouthMainAuto Sounds like a happy home to me!
Eric, you are a fantastic mechanic and teacher. I've gained majority of my repair knowledge from you. Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for the folow up on the axle seals. Need to do trans flush and seal change on my sisters Camry before too long. Found out today that my land lord and good friend of 15 years passed away this morning. I'm feeling very beside myself. He was a very old school guy, much like yourself. He taught me some good old school tricks, and even let me borrow some tools when I got in a pinch, solid guy.
Lovely to see Mrs O has picked up the basic engineering skill -- "Use a Hammer", has she gotten to the lesson of "If that one doesn't work get a bigger one"?
This was a great two-part series. I really liked seeing the beautiful scenery on the post-job test drive. The double entendre banter was pretty funny, too! 😊
I always love the banter between Eric and Mrs. O. 🤣
Conversations like that will get you marched up to HR.
The innuendos in this video😂 were priceless. Keep up the good work
Ah! The classic fill the rear end and hear the pressure relief sound. Been a few dozen episodes since I heard that. Priceless!
It’s always good to pull out occasionally!! Great advice as always over at South Main Auto teaching valuable life lessons and skills while repairing vehicles with the “innocent” Mrs. O. Good stuff!!! Yall are the perfect couple!!
"you just wanna pull out here occasionally........to make sure its going in straight"
i was laughing for a minute straight!!!! 😂😂😂
I only have one thing to say…you have a good life partner! She is a good helper!
Growing up in the Bronx, we could have long guns, but we couldn't have pistols. We did have "* Be Good Sticks", and that's what we used to protect our block and keep it safe for the old ladies going to church.
Mrs. O is a troublemaker with shafts and whatnot.
Been watching you work on cars for ten years, finally bought me a SMA hoody.
Thanks Eric, enjoyed these seal replacement videos, it was nice to see your lovely Mrs. O showing off her huge muscle power driving the seal home and really loved your test drive showing me the beautiful countryside.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
Glad to see Mrs. O can swing a hammer. Not everyone can do that with that level of efficiency. Beautiful country up there. Looks like fun roads for one of my sports cars. Love your videos. There are still some old ones I have yet to see so I watch those while binge watching waiting for your next new one. One of these days I’ll get to them all.
You and Mrs O are a great match for each other. Great video!
Good to see that everyone's pull-out game is still strong. Great couple of vids.
you can tell when Eric likes a car, it gets extra fluidfilm
Another great video! The innocent Ms "O" makes a good second hand! She needs a raise for working in the shop! The conversing between the two of you during the seal installs was priceless! I also loved the test drive scenery! Much more scenic than NW Ohio... Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Thanks for helping the regular joe doing maintenance on their vehicles and the pit falls that could happen and ways to avoid them.And wishing you and your family and friends a very merry Christmas , take time to enjoy your family thanks for all you do
The innuendo is thick in this one. Me likey . Mrs O is a saint.
I liked the driving through the country in a Jeep with music sequence. Just like Matt's Off Road Recovery, except your video has trees, crop fields, and the mountains are shorter. And you didn't pull some tourist's overweight pickup with undersized tires out of the sand. So maybe not "just like" after all. Could you do a "rescue" video for April 1 next year???
"R" rated seal installation. Nice!
"Don't pull out yet". That's the reason I have a daughter turning 21 next week. Best thing I ever did
So Eric is recommending the pull out method in order to drive it in straight? Uh okay.. 😮😂
Lovin the Music and drive around your fine country. Another Top Video from a Top Husband/Wife combo 🙂
Thanks 👍
Mrs. O swings a mean hammer. Nice to see the back and forth jabs.
The Mr and Mrs O show with special guests, the performing seals...😮
The innuendos in the first 5 minutes were crazy.
I've used a bar clamp (cheap little $8 job you use for woodworking) as a makeshift case spreader. Spreads it just enough to get the diff in and out without too much drama.
Awesome vidjeo, as always.
Mrs. O loves to embarrass Mr. O! Love it. He gets flustered and has to think before he answers. Love it! Go Mrs. O!
I like it when you are test driving with some calm music playing in the background. Your landscape looks exactly like ours. Only the cars and trucks are different....and for sure the continent 😂. Greetings from Bavaria/Germany 😊
South Main Auto.. The classic "grab my shaft, I'll guide you in".. Hilarious!! Oh and yeah it might be China.
The lovely Mrs. O was on a role! Good job Eric!
Beep beep.. Hey it's that guy! Love the part you go test the jeep. Nice country scenery with some good tunes playing.
Great video! I humbly suggest putting the differential shims in two ziplock baggies with oil. Then zip tie them to the side bearings they belong to. The shims are a little bit harder to get started when putting them back in...and it makes a little bit of a mess...but they go in nice. The oil helps them to stick together. This is a benefit when working on your back in a driveway.
Oh boy….the inuendos…classic SMA. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Another job well done better than 90% of all the "certified" shops keep up the good work
lol, the innuendo was rampant in that video. Always a little humour along with the education... nice.
Back in 80’s. I made a tool to install inner seals. A piece of All thread, 2 nuts and too washers. The part that holds the seal was a slice off of a
small piece of pipe welded to a washer then I drew it in with the nut and all thread. Worked in jeep dealership.
The fact that you torque shit up because of the youtuber's pressure is hilarious! 🤣🤣😂Loved that little ride with the beautiful sun at the end Thank you.
You need to run for president!!!
Enjoyed you taking 'er for a rip - Upstate NYS scenery is so underrated!
Great job. Smooth running.
The Jeep looked fairly clean underneath. Hopefully the owner's using what you use under your vehicles.
Nice start today.
Beautiful drive, lots of farmland, really nice looking area.
Good one Mr. O.
It's always nice to see Mrs.O.
As an acute o c d viewer I do appreciate the tywraps going the same way.
Good idea in going with both U Joints (while you are there) as only doing the one that was bad just doesn't seem like the correct methodology when the labor is mostly already being paid for. Sure wouldn't be the smartest thing to do in not buying the second U Joint and a month later, its time to. Love those nylon tie straps with the "Christmas tree" to secure something down.
You're one of only a few that actually correctly says "pound-feet" 🙂Another great video. Love your very capable seal driver operator. Great job, Vanessa!
I have always heard it said Foot-Pound. Curious as to why you say pound-feet is "correct"
@richardl4556 That's what they taught us in trade school . Makes sense, as it's the amount of force you apply per foot of the wrencn or lever you're using, hence pound feet (pounds per foot). The metric equivalent is Newton Meters, same format. That said, I've never ever heard Pound Inches but likely it would be considered technically correct. The measurement of torque is Force times distance. But either is acceptable according to a website I just consuted. 😄
Thanks for the New York back road tour. We see a lot about New York city but not much about the state. That's my kind of country.
That Jeep looked good underneath knowing its environment and when it’s most likely used.
Love you working together. Can't believe Mrs. O is wearing a light-colored sweater in the shop?
Once you have the caps off, wad up a rag and hold it at the bottom of the ring gear. With your other hand, reach around and turn the driveshaft counter-clockwise and the carrier will walk itself right out into your hand.
What I've got at work for using a 3/4 drive socket like that , is a 1-in pipe with a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter welded on the end of the pipe. That way the socket stays on the pipe the whole lot easier to keep it centered that way. I'm an industrial mechanic and we use our 3/4 sockets to seal drivers all the time.
23:09 ... FUN FACT: mixing factory Mopar gear oil rtv (black) with Mopar transmission rtv (orange) makes them smoke ... thats freakin' awesome!
They have a great relationship, something we need to see more of. Mrs. O has just enough sass to keep Mr. O in line and is great partner, he does the physical work she keeps the office in order and Mr. O well fed.
Have you 2 gone deer hunting yet this season ?
I'm getting way too old to even think I could do that seal manipulation especially laced so beautifully with innuendo. New York State was hot the night the Jeep was complete, I guess. Great Vid.. cheered me up no end in these times of complete stupidity and greed.
Now now you two stop being naughty
Keep it clean 😊😊😂😂
2:08
“Your involved!”
Mrs O. 👍👍
Thank you Mr and Mrs O for helping my marriage thrive.
I swear those giant-ass sockets make the best seal drivers. I have a bunch from Montgomery wards. remember them?
Your little drive at the end reminded me so much of my family who lived in Rome, Lee and West Leyden. They are all gone now or moved away, but it was a nice reminder.
Great job Mr. & Mrs. O! And thanks for the drive around at the end. Beautiful. Who knew New York could look like Missouri?!
Mrs. O swings a hammer better than some guys i've worked with .....
You should see her butcher, chickens and deer 😏
I had a driveshaft u joint seize on my way home from work one day. Eeech Eeech Eeech I slowly crawled home. My first time dealing with needle bearings.
As always, great video, Eric. I always get a chuckle from your humor. You and Mrs. O, make a great team. I'm looking forward to your next video and receiving my SMA zip-up hoodie. It will keep me warm in the hangar as I work on my jets!
Looks like someone during the test drive didn't want to go back to work. Enjoy Eric.
The last scene should have been a fade in to Eric still driving but returning to the shop at dusk/sunset to find Mrs O standing outside with a big hammer in her hand.
Driving country roads with good music. It's time out of time.
LOL
The secret side of Mrs O. Reveals itself…..😂😂😂😂
Mrs.O getting a bit of stress management engagement releasing any errant frustrations there might be. She's a great helper too Mr O.
Great job. Love watching you AND Mrs O working together. Always a good time.
Nice work and a great test drive checking out the scenery ! The upper PRNY is a piece of gods country !
As always “ Thanks for posting”
This and about six bucks will get ya a cup of joe at Starbucks if you have one there. Have a good weekend !!!
made a driver for my seal driver from heavy wall 1" square tubing and 1/2-13 bolt welded to end(same as regular driver handles) and saved me several times when I was a fleet mechanic....partner found it an wanted me to make one for the fleet shop he was in...been 15 years an still going...linemen have no shame the way they treat a vehicle....
Love the countryside drive. Have a neighbor from up there. We're in TN.
Keep on FIXIN' stuff man, you're Legend already-
and the Mrs. gets honorable mention!
Now I see who has all the muscle Mrs O !!!
I refuse to join Tick Tok , Great job as always and also Mrs O , Toy Story time was great memories , Etcher sketch and drawing ding dongs ? I could only draw stairs and gave up, and went to build The Visitable Model Wankle Rotory Engine with real moving parts..
Not only do we learn some free Tip fridays here at SMA, we get to enjoy the shop Kitty change the mood of things. PRICELESS , Thanks Eric O for the memories and laughs .
Feels like two of those sockets , a short piece of all thread and a couple nuts, and you'd have yourself a special tool for installing those seals in a jiffy 😮
Never thought to draw that on my etch-o-sketch. The jokes on this one were pretty okay.
Not many people get to drive a car repaired by Mrs. O. That's bragging rights right there
I just watched this video. Looks like you are driving around in my stompin ground in Alabama. Cotton and cornfields are everywhere down here. Oh and by the way, I did enjoy the video too! Y’all be good and may the good Lord take a liken to you.
Mrs. O swings a hammer better than I do. You truly have a good one Eric!
Steuben Co is so beautiful all year long!
God made every state where we can drive down a country road. Great video.
There is too much content to comment on! Mrs. O full sending a sledge hammer showing her talents outside the office! She needs her own bay!
I never realized how much these Jeeps cost, I now know why folks fix them.💵
