You didn't mention they made Brass Cannons. :-)
It would be nice to see Brooks USA make a Bearing race and seal installer tool kit..
I have a possible phone call solution 1 or 2 answered a week but you must earn the help / reward for doing something not just free free to many subs
If you put screw through the bottom b joint hole you can get the upper out
I bought the same exact ball joint press kit! It's amazing!!
I'm sure part of the reason this channel is so popular is because you show the struggle as well as the victories. In the end you always win. But yes, your a victim of your own success and folks need to realize your time is limited. Hang in there buddy.
wyattoneable yeah, that struggle is what makes it all worth watching, apart from the tricks & tips learned. It's just soothing to know all mechanics & technicians have similar struggles. I'm not the only one who has obstacles or things that go wrong. Lol
Its all in how you handle the problems.
Yes Wyatt, I agree 100%
I went thru the same struggle and as a DIYer, I learned ther hard way. I thought I had botched something and was gonna have to replace the ball joints again. That camber adjustment sleeve had me by the gonads. Left the alignment shop and was scared to drive it. LOL
ruclips.net/video/UXioZo3ymz4/видео.html
wyattoneable...hahaha, still trying to get his Bud Lite??
Grammar Lesson time: Your??? You're!! Their/They're/There! To/too/two... Butt head! not but head. Mechanics also know how to use proper grammar when they write. We pick up the mistakes in the comments. The mistakes hurt us.
"Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be used" Use them however will get the job done, that's what I do. Guys cut these cup adapters apart, weld them together, stack them - just as long as you know you may run the risk of chowdering up an adapter or creating dangerous less and optimal adapter sandwich. Just give us a call after for a replacement when you shoot one into lower orbit.
Haha I should send you a picture of all the chowdered up ones I have....errrr I mean custom cups I have. Some of them you can smell the frustration steaming off them still. Did you notice the little adapter rings TTX sent with their ball joints? Could have a ton of different sizes of those for popular ball joints to fit just one bigger cup and cover a multitude of bj's. I am sure you are all ready on that though, or heck for all I know you make them for Mevotech haha
Ever since Eric has been using Astro tools, I've been slowly (as money allows) building a collection. You wouldn't believe how many guys at work have fallen in love with your stuff! As an aircraft mechanic, I abuse them every bit as much as this man does, and the stuff just doesn't break! The 4980 knocked out a 1 3/8" diameter horizontal stab pivot shaft tonight in fact, when a 9x rivet gun couldn't!
So I am gathering you don't want phone calls??????... I don't blame you. People should have enough common sense not to. You give out tons of free advise and I thank you for it. By the way you are an awesome mechanic and person. Thank you for the videos.
So I told my boss that you told me it was OK to watch your videos at work and he gave me the green light. I'm happy to say I am now in the unemployment line watching this. You're the best Eric. You always know the solution to anything, even out of the shop.
See I wouldn't steer you wrong!
Dealership rule #1: never consult manuals, videos, or anything that isn't physically doing the job. Ain't nobody got time for videos when you can just break it apart.
I appreciate a man who will give a reach-around
Keep Doing it your way Eric. Most people would not have the balls to put their mistakes on video! I learn a ton from all your hard work!
I’m a 67 year old retired welder. I love to work on my truck. I’m always looking for something to do to it. Just replaced the u joints and inner and outer seals on that very axle. You are a master sir and I only silently laugh and shake my head when I read anyone criticizing your work. I absolutely love yoyr videos. Thank you.
Being a consummate Pro, watching someone make a mistake, then work through the process to get it right is priceless. We learn from watching someone think through and correct themselves. A lot of learning goes on there. Great job!
Mr.O ! You beat yourself up to bad for making easy mistakes! Lol! I was impressed with how easy the "manual press" worked removing the old ball joints!
Every time a RUclipsr calls wanting advice or which part to change, tell them it's a "classic symptom of a worn muffler bearing or needing headlight fluid" and hang up, no slamb the phone down! Sometimes you gotta be rude to get a point across! You have way more patience than I would! Love the vids! Ready for part III! Keep the vids coming!
"Not sure if there's enough throat on this thing" the new 78100 - Goliath Ball Joint XL C-Frame Press is on its way, sir!
😁👍Sweet!! Thanks Astro Tools!! Just FYI, looking at my poor pickle forks, I did not realize you folks made a BIG set of those too! Going to add them to my hit list and ask Santa... (AKA Mrs.O)
@@SouthMainAuto Hey, I just spent over $400 to astro because of you, they better send it. Lol
Well damn I want one too Astro!
Yeh you been hitting up some pretty big pickles with those lol .
Pickle forks on the way, they're not pieces of art but they get the job done.
You shouldn't get embarrassed when you're working hard to get the job done. Like I said the labor cost is well worth it on that type of work. Great job!
The difference between Pros and Hacks is simple - Pros catch their own mistakes, learn from them, and fix them. Hacks let the customer catch their mistakes, never learn, and let SMA fix them :-) You da Pro Bro !!
I appreciate you showing the challenge. I say anyone that does not makes mistakes is absolutely not doing or accomplishing a thing at all.
I don't think I'll ever own a Ford, but somehow you have a way of making these videos worth watching. Well done.
Such a pleasure to watch an honest mechanic work, warts and all. Forward your calls to Scotty Kilmer. He'll fix their problem in 4 minutes.
I just can't believe you don't have at least a couple of hundred thousand more subscribers. Definitely one of the best mechanics on RUclips.
Yup, my favorite channel . . . and of course Ivan's channel too. Ivan, you know, the kid who takes everything apart. Who want's to take bets on whether or not Ivan had the back off his first watch the day he got it?
We all have made the mistake of tightening the upper ball joint before the lower on these Fords Eric O it happens correcting the binding and memory steer before it was completely installed is what makes a good Mechanic @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
“Hey bro” lol think of it like this! You’re easy mistakes are most people’s impossible ones. Please always stay the way you are honest and a humble human that makes you an awesome teacher! Thanks for staying true and not editing that out! #realworldwrenching
Did not sleep a wink last night. Kept waking up looking for part 2 for more grandma quotes. Thanks.
Perfection is hard to come by Mr. O! Stop beating yourself up! You do great work.
Back in the beginning of the year I ordered the astro 94220 snap ring pliers you demonstrated in an earlier video , and I just tried them a couple days ago for the first time and they are the best snap ring pliers I've ever used . I'd definitely rate them #1.
These are my favorite videos on your channel; the videos where you make mistakes yet ultimately persevere-showing us little tricks along the way.
Who puts a thumbs down on this? Good info, nice guy, and shows his mistakes (and more importantly, how to fix them). I'll call the shop tomorrow to discuss at length... ;)
Damn!! I can't believe you still have YT callers!! I'm sorry you have to deal with that nonsense! 😔😔
Ohmy gosh Cuba, some days I wanna throw the phone out in the road. It has surpassed the stupid point and it is my own fault for starting all of this. I should have used an phony name and such but I never figured the people would really watch this stuff when I first started. Now I need to figure out how to deal with it is all...
South Main Auto Repair awww! Gee wiz! You shouldn't even have to figure things out, if people were considerate at all, which we know is dying out, you wouldn't be in this mess. I wish I knew of a way to fix this. You are a shop. You need to have a public #. Hindsight = 20/20 😔
It's always why I stayed mobile too. Anytime I had a shop, people would come to "hangout", like I don't have things to do, work to get done. Entitlement & people having nothing better to do is ever growing.
Yeah it is what it is, my only advice to you would be, if you decide to take your channel any further. Never reveal your read identity. Oh well, life will go on :)
The rudeness of some people is astounding. Just begin your vids with a statement "PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME FOR ADVICE". 99.99% of us naturally understand this and are saddened that you have to put up with this stupidity.
you could put in an asterisk pbx and a simple call screening system without much trouble.... feel free to hit me up if you want more info... Likely be cheaper than your current phone system too
Idk if he reads these or not but since I have stumbled across this channel I've been motivated again to work on cars and love watching these videos even though I don't even have any of these vehicles how he does things is so realistic not just some pretty show piece with no problems other than current ones needing to be repaired.
Nice tip on the ball joint binding. That would have stumped me for a while. Always learning from you. You Tube callers, stop calling him and go get your hands dirty. You learn twice as much from doing as you do from watching. Still waiting on that Discovery channel mechanic show featuring Eric O!
I am addicted to sma because Eric is a shop owner BUT shows the do it yourselfers what will most likely happen from frustration and carnage! I been working on cars for years as a hobby (just my own cars) and when I was starting out videos like these would have rocked! Keep it up Eric O!!!!!
I run my own shop here in the UK, Im the only one answering the phone and still trying to earn a living! I also get calls asking after the silver bullet, so I totally get it when your busy and the phone goes, and it’s a dead donkey call. REALLY gets to me..
You gotta figure it out somehow Eric, this channel keeps me going!
I run that brand balljoint in my duramax for the lowers. So far I'm pleased with them. I installed them myself at work and I liked how it came with its own cone for pressing them in. Overall appearance is nice and so far 6 months on 35s lifted 6 inches and beat on they are doing great so far!
Really enjoy your video. Stop beating yourself up, you're only human and obviously know what you are doing. Keep on wrenching!
You're very good mechanic, don't beat yourself up. Thank you for all your hard work!!
The important thing is how you responded to "doing something stupid." You stopped and corrected the binding joints, and some would have shipped it that way. Well done.
It is best when you make mistakes as we learn what is not right, how to go about identifying the mistake and what actions are needed to correct it. Every person makes mistakes, but not all identify them and correct them, please keep making real world videos with mishaps and all.
I've learned a job like this one has MANY steps, details and of course tech tips not shown in the manual! It can burn up a LOT of time and wear you down, which is why you double check that everything is back to where it should be.
Great job Mr. O!
You definitely make it look easy, despite all the rust and corrosion ! ! Keep up the good work! People are always looking for freebie info! Being retired, people walking or driving by will stop and ask for help or whatever when my house garage door is open and I'm working on one of our vehicles. Oh well!
As a relatively new subscriber and life long diy er I have to say I really enjoy this channel and your videos. Don't feel embarrassment if something you did wasn't right, you didn't edit it out, you owned it. Use it as "this is what happens if you get ahead of yourself with xxx of different types, and this is how you remedy it". You're human. Keep up the great videos.
Free tip Friday: that Astro master ball joint kit is the exact same kit as the Orion Motor Tech ball joint kit on Amazon.... The Orion kit is like 20 bucks cheaper. Made by the same company, only difference is the color of the blow molded case. Rebranded like everything else out there. You're welcome.
Thank you for not editing out your mistake. I would have probably have done it and not know how to fix it.
I have to give you props. You are a true man of Integrity, you show and admit your mistakes to the world. I totally understand your irritation with phone calls, between my grandfather and father they ran a service station for 30 years and I remember those calls then. It's crazy nothing's changed in 30 years and I'm sure with RUclips yours is much worse. Amazing the ignorance of people thinking you have nothing better to do than offer free advice all day because no-one matters but them.
Sorry off my soapbox. Btw the shakes and lose of words is from an internal poisoning from withdrawal of Mrs O. A big thanks to you sir.
Your forgiven..I'm doing this job right now on my 05 dually super Duty. It's been a mother trucker..ball joints both sides tie rod ends, drag link. You just never worry your very proffesional and very humble. You know more than I will ever know. Thank you for showing us rookies how to do it..
Great video Eric 👏 , Dont beat yourself up over a mistake, we have all done plenty in our time. Looking forward to part 3 .
I just did this same job on an 01. Let’s just say it took me more than lunch to figure out why they were binding up. Very nice work eric o. Oh, and I dropped roughly 3423 pieces of ball joint press kit.
The calls are a compliment, Shows they trust you. That being said... Yes. The bills have to be paid.
Hey! idea... Hire someone to man a (900) number and charge them the shop rate for the calls.
LOL!!!
Great channel.
Serafin Silva
Charge them the hourly rate of say $60 per MINUTE! That should nip the morons in the bud.
They’d just call the normal shop number
Thanks Eric for everything you do. We'll take the good with a mistakes because we learn from both. If you never made a mistake we would never find out potential problems we might run into. Don't be so hard on yourself thank you very much.
😆🙄I'm such a dork. I spent my afternoon trying to press those ball joints in the wrong direction...Oh boy...came back to verify I was pressing them "out" in the "correct" direction after wasting 4 hours going in the WRONG direction. Grateful for these tutorials. You know who to call if you ever need these dang-gum ball joints pressed out again.
Mr. O , you are a brave man. Most of us don't want to own up to our whoopsies. You man up. Nicely done. No one is keeping count. All in a day's work.
I didn't realize how many very nice tools astro makes I'm going to check them out whenever I need a new tool they have very nice tools.
I know this might seem a little bad to say this but honestly I'm glad that Eric O tightened the ball joints out of sequence. Why? Because over the last 3 years of watching the SMA channel, I've been very attentive on take Eric O's recommendation on quality replacement parts. He has always highly recommended the ttx ball joints and to think that he might have gotten a defective set right out of the box would have been devastating to me. I also respect Eric O for always being honest in his video creations. He makes mistakes like we all do but unlike others he always comes clean about it. You can actually tell through the video how bad he felt about making that mistake. He actually feels bad BECAUSE he knows we all look up to him for his quality workmanship. Honesty, no mistake or error would cause me to think less of him because no one cares more about his customers than Eric O. For that he has set the gold standard for all of us to strive to achieve. Thank u Eric O.
We ALL get it wrong sometimes..its part of being human. Its how we react/respond that is the key. You admit it,publicly and then explain 'why' and proceed to do it again correctly..RESPECT to you..and many thanks.
I'm just glad he 's not my protologist, although I have to say I would bet that he would be good at anything he put his mind that to. Thanks Eric.
Great video as always! Ball joints are one of the few things I haven't attempted to do in the garage with my dad.. strictly from a lack of the proper tools!
People quit calling this busy man. He does enough for you, posting these free videos.
Eric. Thanks for all you do. Sorry after all this time a few knuckle heads can’t take a hint.
Since I haven't seen it in the comments and you brought it up. The Snap On ball joint press set would've made it easier. Lol. As always great video Mr. O. You are the consummate professional sir.
Stop phoning, ffs. Or we will end up with no SMA
2nd that!
Hand out the numbers we can help.
WHATS' P WEDNESDAY THAT lS WHAT lT lS F0R!
Eric,
Good job! Real easy to bind the knuckle, no big deal. You had it figured out during lunch break no time wasted. The one who never struggles a tad is a liar or isn’t working. Press on with pride!
You beat me to it Eric, I was gonna say those installation tools that came with the ball joints should become a new addition to your ball joint install kit
I run into problems all the time when working on my vehicles. When you run into a problem, you teach me how to deal with it. So don't apologize for what happened with the ball joint!
We understand about the phone calls...of course you can’t answer the calls, you’re by yourself! Exactly! Pay the bills Eric!
Loved the video. RUclipsrs! Get a grip! The man's running a real shop, Enjoy his work.
Watch his videos. But, leave him alone.
How i see you are the Editor of your own channel you could have left the goof up out, but you didn't like you said your human, I started auto mechanic's votech school 1973 i don't know half of what you know, so i enjoy your channel and learn at the same time, 99% of us respect you.
I don't care what nobody says you're awesome. Soooo what you made a mistakes. This makes it even more enjoyable because you always find solutions. :)
I like watching your videos, even if I am not going to be working on that type of vehicle. I said it before, and I will say it again. You are too hard on your self! We all make little goofs! It's real easy when you have too much work, and not enough time. Take care of your self, and you make the best videos!!
Really sorry about the YT callers. Hope you can find a solution to the bombardment. Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos and thanks for the infotainment
1st off Mr. O', You did NOT "Screw Up", you were still in the Process of doing the Repair and realized something wasn't correct and reversed it until it was and were MAN enough to show it and not edit it out! (A Screw up would have been if you just kept going and finished the repair that way) But I guess that is what has made you the GREAT Mechanic/Technician you are today, striving for perfection, ALWAYS!
2nd, the "Suppose that's why I have Kids Today" comment, literally had me in TEARS.... Hahahahahahaha!!!!
As Always Mr. O', You Sir have the VERY BEST Channel on RUclips IMHO! THANK YOU!!!!!
Great job Eric......I know how you feel, easy to get a bit stressed when things don't quite go to plan but hey, that's what makes the videos even more interesting. Just after your closing piece to camera I imagined you pressing the stop button & having a right good rant off camera, I'd maybe even throwing a spanner somewhere!
Anyway, great job as always & you keep me entertained whilst I'm out on the road with my job - back in the South Island at the moment, in sunny Nelson. Fly home tonight, easy day tomorrow then away again for the weekend.
Take care. Until next time. Andy
The Brooks hammer is beautiful. I just ordered a 4 pound example. I'm sure the donation to you was very inexpensive and effective advertising. Good job on the F*rd ball joints. They can be a real pain in the ass. You are a good mechanic and an honest guy. If you were anywhere near me, I'd probably cut back a lot on fixing my own cars even though I have a ton of tools and two lifts at home. Stay safe Eric O. :)
Yep. Still burnt out. The Snappy ball joint press is worth every penny. I have also been saving wheel bearing races for years. They have pressed a lot of oddball ball joints and installed a lot of seals. Never throw away a perfect circle.
Great video, and completely understand about the phone calls, it's the same working on small engines people call all the time asking how they can do this or that and explaining to them how to do something over the phone takes time away from working on something your getting paid for, your not getting paid to talk on the phone. Keep up the great video Eric love them.
I appreciate your honesty with things. most would clip out the portion where they made a mistake, but you take it with stride. It's why I still watch the channel. As a suggestion with moving through mistakes though, maybe leave a note at the beginning of the video saying to pay attention because you made a mistake and corrected it, for those who are following along, pausing, and following along again. just in case they follow to that point and then bolt on a tire and drive away :D
Excellent point!!
For the upper ball joint, you can remove it by unthreading the rod completely from the press then thread it again from the lower ball joint hole. Learned from another youtuber years ago. :D
drove these type of ball joints with a big deep socket and a big hammer that we call the rushain and sweet was dripping from my brow but they went in and went together well. it worked.
What a ball ache. She's done and down the road until the other side conks out. Nice work
I remember calling you to let you know that I got the scan tool I won working and I talked lifts with you for a minute. Wasn't even fix my car related, but I still felt bad for taking up your time. Didn't feel bad talking to you when I was there though, you were very hospitable :)
Honestly I knew who you were and what you needed though, plus it is always easier to talk to someone when they stop in. As long as they can talk while I work :)
Dude ,between working on the cars and working on the videos, the hours u must but in I commend you sir . Who care what anybody says lol . Keep up the good work and you gave me a ton of free knowledge I appreciate that a lot thanks .
Glad you talked about 'memory steer' . I've been burned by several Moog joints that weren't installed and tightened just so, that had the knuckle just a bit too tight for steering return. Good tip, Eric!
fascinating, the "walk-away technique" works every time.
I love your videos keep up the great work! people need to understand your time is precious and you need to provide for your family no reason to keep calling your shop.
Isn't there a guy or two who like to stop by and just chat while you're working? Put them on the phone when people call!! :) Another great video brohan! BTW, you learn nothing from doing it right all the time. I've learned a lot in my lifetime.
Hey there Eric... At time index 4:23 where you were seeing if the press bolt would run along side, What you actually do is run the press bolt through the hole of the lower ball joint to press in the upper ball joint first.
Ah, the short C clamp when removing/installing a ball joint dilemma..... I almost shot coffee out of my nose when watching this when you said you've dropped the pieces a million times. I did just on one stupid ball joint on my '64 C10 this past weekend. Ah.....colorful metaphors such as Golly, gee and gosh darn. You should teach auto shop. But then we'd have to attend as they may not let you make video's. Thanks for the links for tools you use (and Astro) I may find some tools to get from Astro, such as a longer C clamp perhaps??? HONEY! I updated my list!
Yeah, I don't know how you keep up with owning a small business, having a wife and children and doing all these awesome YT videos. You must be busier than a one-legged man in a three-legged race, but the number of calls you get reflect just how desperate people are for good information and just how bad most of the other shops are. I'm glad I found your channel and sure wished you lived within a few hundred miles of me. I'd gladly make the trip for repairs. Thanks Eric and hang in there bud!! :>)
I don't see that as a mistake, I see that as a well thought out way to show people if you did do it wrong, this is what happens. Am I right or am I right? Because of you, I am going broke buying all these wonderful tools. When I called Astro about ordering some stuff and mentioned SMA, OMG, they are very familiar with you. Thank you so much for being you.
Yeah I like Astro Tools, great people to deal with!!
Just found myself yelling at the screen..... Thread the forcing screw through the lower ball joint hole while pressing out the upper it's way easier. Those TTX Terrain Tuff ball joints are bad assed, Only ball joints we've found that stand up to plowing duty on those trucks for more than a couple years. Got some some pushing five years now in a couple trucks that are still as tight as the day they went in.
I still can't figure out why people call you all day. Can they not see you are trying to run a business? If you charged for the phone calls maybe, but you cannot feed your kids giving out free advice. Keep up the good work and thanks for the entertainment. I suspect Mrs O might not have been so happy with your rubber glove how you have children comment. Nearly snorted diet coke out my nose.
I like watching other pros do it after I've done it to see if they're doing it right. Been doing lots of F250 front ends lately. Not a bad gig. They're 2 hours a piece. The slap on ball joint press is amazing. Air hammer them out, press them in.
Excellent video Eric - we all learn from mistakes.
Keep the vids coming.
Learn a lot from this video.
Thanks.
Set up a phone line with 1.99 per minute charge including waiting on hold.
I bet people will stop calling!!!
Man I love your videos and I learn something thank you keep up the great work !
I made a very similar mistake on the tightening sequence on my truck's Dana 44 when I did ball joints. As soon as you mentioned it was tighter than you liked I knew exactly where you went wrong.
I took it all apart because I was it was steering like garbage
I do most of my own work, even at 65 years old.. but.. Not this, not without a lift. Doing this on bended knee would seriously suck. Nice video(s). Thanks
I watch your video's because you don't edit out the mistakes so that I can learn what not to do or if I goon it up I know how to go through the process of finding the goon.
I can honestly say I never made that mistake! But then again I never did ball joints on a truck. Haha! I went to school to be an aircraft mechanic and don't do any mechanical work any more but like to watch you videos so keep up the good work. Also it's nice to see some who is honest and looking out for his customers.
I love the ball joint removal and replacement. Soooo much satisfaction.
by the way.. i never throw out bearing races and i pull the balls out of timing belt tensioner and idler bearings and i throw those races in the hydraulic press tools bin.. some of them go in the ball joint press box. you never know when one is going to be just right for what you are pressing. i also keep giant flat washers... 1 1/4" ID thru 3" id just a few of each size.. i also use moly graphite wheel bearing grease on my ball joint press threads.. just a little.
What? No brake clean? I thought I heard it crying on the shelf feeling left out! LOL! You’re human Mr. Eric. Heck everything I touched today went to poop so don’t feel bad. Thanks for cranking out the videos!
Brother, you definitely do good work! I like the way you never give up until you solve any problem! If I or you lived closer I would absolutely do business with you. keep up the good work!
Nice video. -- I have an F350 just like that truck - when my hubs went out i pulled the bearings out and went to the bearing house - biught new bearings and replaced the bearings - saved a ton of money - used that money to buy the special vacuum seal installer tool...
Everyone makes mistakes, it's what you do afterwards that matters.
RUclipsrs should not ring you up, they should search/watch your earlier vids for similar vehicle faults.
