Mate...you are Michael Jackson of mechanics..simply entertaining at its best...this is purely old school wrenching taken at entertainment level..like watching a good movie
Where have you been? No diagnostic videos posted for many months. Great to see you back. I was surprised that you didn't spray penetrating oil on the threads before you loosened the bolts, and also that you tightened the wheel bolts clockwise, rather than doing the opposites, ie 5, 2, 4, 1, 3 on a 5 stud wheel. The torque wrench just showed the wheel bolts were tight, but the airgun might have over tightened them firstly. Electric cars aren't selling well in the UK, so it's good that you stopped making videos about repairing them. Great work, thanks.
Dan . what can I say... Ive had my BMW 530d for 8 yrs. Ive watched countless youtube vids about replacing various parts. You have the GIFT my friend. You leave the rest behind. Thank you for your clarity and expertise
I don't work on to many European cars right now, but watching you I feel more comfortable dealing with them. There is only one shop around here that works on them and since the owner passed away they haven't been the same. My customers that do own them are very patient and don't want anyone else working on there car including the dealerships in New Orleans 60 miles away. Yes definitely more videos on mechanical repairs, and diagnostics, maybe more videos per week, although I know it takes a lot of time especially with the great video quality you produce. Thank you for taking time to make these videos they are greatly Appreciated!
When I was 13 years old began working at my dads tire shop. We were taught always tighten lug nuts using a star pattern. Did that method change? I love the video. I learned how to remove and replace these type bushing with a specialty tool I didn’t know existed. Thanks for all you do Dan!
Personally and I do not want to pick at the work yes I agree with the practice of as you put it a star pattern to tighten a wheel. It prevents the wheel snagging at an angle. I also think the snap on electric gun if you check in fact over tightens the wheel bolts even with only letting it dugga dugga a couple of times, they are far to powerful on bolts like that. The torque check at the end ought to have tightened the wheel bolts up more to the correct tightness. It only clicked due to it being at the correct tightness or beyond it already. From my experience it will nearly always be too tight. I would also recommend to the customer we did 4 wheel alignment although it was marked. If the customer declines then a premature worn tyre is not able to be blamed on us. Still enjoyed the content as always don't like to knock what you do just feel it is always good to get feedback whichever way it is.
Brilliant video, thanks Dan. It’s great to see mechanical repairs performed and explained with the same clarity as your diagnostic videos. This makes the work so much easier for those who find repairs daunting. I really enjoy your Chanel.
Another great video Dan! Even if you think they are common or regular servicing items, because people do it differently, there's always something new to learn or new discovery to be made. For instance, on this video that plastic rotating brush fitment to clean the aluminium part was a really good tip. In conjunction with giving a once over regarding the importance of SST (Special Service Tool) in certain tasks will educate young mechanics and DIYers - extremely vital and very basic but often overlooked. Many thanks once again for your excellent work and generosity in sharing the vital knowledge with us.
Diagnose Dan Fixed it Again now Diagnose Dan Wrenchin’ Again... Great teaching and content A+ This channel continues to be a stand out in its technical field.
THANK GOD they put that snap ring into place, to hold that ball joint in!! That way, the corrosion, and the unimaginable forces wouldn't be overworked!! Nice one Dan, thanks for sharing!
This guy shows the BEST video on replacing rose bushing - too easy - Thanks DAN - I was afraid to do it until I saw it - CTA 8692 works great for this bushing
DiagnoseDan you never cease to amaze, there are so many types of diagnostic work. And parts changers would tell you that you need a new hub. Great video. Eric O would have to break out the torch because of the rust lol.
Nice to watch a mechanic that does not get scared of a repair job just because it is one of those "Fancy" brands BMW. I own a BMW myself and do my own work on it. It is not a NASA science project to work on but you do have to sit down and be willing to learn how it operates. Good job and i am looking forward to watch more mechanic videos from you in the future :)
Mechanical repair is interesting to me. I like the variety. I’ve admired your electrical diagnostic ability. This shows that you are very well rounded in your skills. I think that you and Eric O came from the same mold.
This reminds me from when I had to replace the rear wheel bearings on my E36 318i and getting one of the driveshafts out of the hub was the hardest part. Changing the bearings was the easy part. It always reassures me when the wheel nuts are torqued up properly with a torque wrench and is more important with alloy wheels.
Its good to see Danny isn't afraid to get his hands dirty with the basic stuff. You should be a tutor at a Polytech Danny. No, wait, how am I gunna learn from you then? Great stuff as usual.
The mechanical videos are really good too! Love to watch other mechanics work, always seem to come away with new tips and tricks (like that plastic cleaning brush), so thank-you for that!
Really an excellent video showing the job replacement as much as can be, with tips and widely explanations about every step taken. I enjoyed it. Thanks Cody.
I’ve just watched a video of a guy struggle on the floor to do this repair. As I’ve worked many years as a mechanic on the floor doing it with it in the air using good tools man is that so easy excellent video 👍🏻😉🙏🏻
Excellent video how to do this bushing change, without having to change the whole suspension on the car !!! Quality guy doing quality work with excellent explanations.
This one really gave you a workout! Great to see the professor getting his hands dirty so to speak. 😁 Your hole cleaning techniques are also spot on! 😂
Great video dan and nice to see it done properly! I've seen countless mechanics/technicians over the years tighten bolts with the suspension hanging down in the unloaded position . This is OK for the bush you've just replaced as it's more like a ball joint but not for the rubber type bushes which you know will fail again in a very short period! Once again a great video and nice to see it done correctly.👏
I was going to comment on the lack of star pattern tightening but I see you have been berated enough on that. I guess my reason for commenting was that I am always in awe of your abilities and the way you explain your diagnosis , so when a "mistake" like that happens (You probably usually get the apprentice to do tyres) everyone jumps for joy! ha ha , "we caught the King making a boo boo!" Keep up the great video's and I feel repair video's are another feather in your cap!
Hi Dan, this is great to see. I reckon your videos are better than Wheeler Dealers, you deserve a greater following. Anybody who is a car fanatic will learn from your videos. Thank you.
Hey dan is that scissor lift good enough for a workshop or the two post one is a must have ? And great work again I'd like to watch more of these fix it together videos ;)
I was surprised to see you didn't use the ratcheting wrench on the removal part! I replaced all rear 8 bushings on my e90 and didn't have the 24mm ratcheting wrench at the time, so the removal and reinstallation took some time. I watched the entire video and didn't even need to, Lol. I think this came up as a result of watching one of your previous diagnostic videos. You explain what you are doing very well! Good stuff! New Subscriber. Thank you!
Very well made video. Clear and to the point. With a steel joint in aluminum control arm I would use a heat gun to make removal and installation easier. Aluminum expanding much more than steel makes it very effective. In addition I would place the new bushings in a freezer to further increase temperature difference.
Nice! Representing Cody's Auto Diagnostics! Hopefully we can get you over here to visit one day, one of our training events. 😉😉 Awesome to see the day to day Dan at work, and turning wrenches! You make it look too easy! 😂😂😊😊
What an incredible diagnostician you are. A great dad as well. May I humbly suggest that you use eye and ear protection when you use power tools? At 55 years old, I have tinnitus (constant ringing in my ears) from all of the shop noise during my days. Be well and thank you for all of the entertaining lessons.
Dan your videos are outstanding. The camera work is outstanding and the way you describe what you are doing is excellent. Oh and by the way the shirt is perfect. Cody’s videos are also excellent. Have a good one Dan ❤️
Love the German they make suspension work so easy even with thier 8 control arms 🤣 nice to see you representing Cody. Great video Dan looking forward to more repair vids... jay
Nice work Dan. Would like to see more repair videos on the (7) series BMW. I Own a 2006 BMW 760i Nice Car- but very complex. It has (5) Computers just to control the Engine alone. I perform most of the repairs- but need assistance sometimes.
Good to see you doing some keep fit at the same time, perhaps another side line for you! Great video about a simple enough job that would turn into a real fight without the correct tool and the damage that would cause as you rightly pointed out. Keep them coming.
What a great video. When trying to swing the control arm out of the way, does the spring have to be compressed to release the pressure? Or is the spring irrelevant?
Great video Dan to much work lol . Would of had to step up to half inch racket with long handle and deep well socket . I'm getting to old for the bull work . Did enjoy you adding some of the other shop related repairs though . Dan fixed it again , keep them coming .
I don't know how well it will work on that hub since it's an alloy, but I've found that bushings tend to be easier to remove if you give the metal surrounding hole they're pressed into some gentle taps any time it starts to bind in order to break the friction buildup from corrosion. Works great on steel control arms at least.
Great video but one thing you didn't mention and is worth noting... You should always torque all the suspension bushing bolts on the control arms etc with the car at normal ride height. If you tighten them while hanging you are going to cause premature wear/failure of the suspension bushes. Anyway, I have just discovered your channel and I love the videos, keep up the great work!
Only one fault in this vid... Star pattern for tightening BMW 5 bolt wheels and ~216nm tightening torque. As a personal anecdote though, I'd clean the wheel and hub mating surfaces too, cause beemers like my E38 like to shimmy given half an excuse. Also finally subbed, your channel is absolutely invaluable.
Great video - thanks for creating. Out of interest, when refitting the wheel, why did you not tighten the bolts diagonally, and it looked like the bolts were impact driven being the torque wrench setting as they all "broke" without visibly moving.
I work on German industrial equipment and when I comes to hammer they are a huge no no no no no they have jacking bolts, presses, or your hands for that stuff. I learned my BMW’s are the same way no hammering but the dodge and jeeps get a bigger hammer. Fire for the ford in the field lmao. Thank you for the video and educational.
Hi Dan, discovered your channel recently and in this video I noticed the Dutch plates; nice to see a quality channel from my home country even though if’s still 200km away from where I live. About this video, I own a similar model and I have yet to lift the rear to check, but I suspect the rose bush to be faulty and was hoping you could tell if I am looking in the right direction. Symptoms: after braking hard repeatedly to bed in new rotors and pads, my rear right wheel has a lot of negative camber and toe in; rear left as well but much less. Steering wheel is also off center, on acceleration the rear pulls to one side and on releasing the pedal it ‘snaps’ back... but drives straight otherwise without any noise or trembling. On visual inspection all other bushings seem fine, no play.
9,32 bushing mooves hard in the hub, i normally heat the outher ring so the bushing mooves more freely, just a little tip to avoiding your body from stress.
Great Video ~ when you marked the alignment bolt , it looks like you only marked the washer and the subframe of the car.. Is that washer attached to the bolt ? I'm very nervous about removing that bolt.. would it be best to make a straight line from the bolt , over the washer , and on to the frame? What if I unbolt the swing arm from the other bolt rather than the alignment bolt?
Nice video Dan! Great explanation and now I have a new tool to add to my arsenal. Finally picked up a pico as well! Again thanks for all your efforts to help us less experienced guys become better techs!
I've never seen any tutorial so clear and professional as this one! Good job Dan and thanks!
yea bro this man is wery explaining and advising you about any erors or posible mistakes
i would love to see more of your mechanical videos as well,
I might do a few more😉

Great repair video Dan, would be brilliant to see more
More coming!😊👍
Great Video ~ when you marked the alignment bolt , it looks like you only marked the washer and the subframe of the car.. Is that washer attached to the bolt ? I'm very nervous about removing that bolt.. would it be best to make a straight line from the bolt , over the washer , and on to the frame?
What if I unbolt the swing arm from the other bolt rather than the alignment bolt?
Nice video Dan! Great explanation and now I have a new tool to add to my arsenal. Finally picked up a pico as well! Again thanks for all your efforts to help us less experienced guys become better techs!
Diagnose Dane ,great lesson for hungry student,like me .Keep walking that way👉
