    This was a fun, helpful collab with Donut and thank you Craftsman for coming in clutch with overnighting the tools I needed to make the repair! As you guys saw, I have moved to a new driveway and it's been pretty challenging to move over 1000mi away, all by myself. I hope to get back on track with consistent videos in the new place in the next couple months or so. I'm still sleeping on a blow up bed but my tools and cars are here so time to unpack and get the ball rolling. The new place will hopefully allow me to make videos more efficiently so more content for you guys!!! I appreciate all the supportive comments and the continued patience! This year has been a tough one!!!

    Years ago, I saw you put a tire under a car while you were working on it, and I've been doing that every time I change my oil since I saw that trick.
    Today, my car fell off the jack while I was under it, and it is with great pleasure that I inform you, I am not squished.
    Thanks Chris!

    12:27 Yup, VERY important step. If you ever take the shaft out, clean the old grease as best you can and put new grease in. A lot of people skip this step that could gain them quite a few miles/km from that bearing. If you're already in, do it, even if you have to drop everything and run to the parts store to get the grease. I've heard this story so many times "dammit, wish i'd changed the bearings when i changed the seal" and similar. If the bearing's not shot, just pack it with fresh grease, it does a heck of a lot more than one think.

    Hey Chris, glad to see you back. You might want to mention that some axles have C clips instead of bearing retention. For those, you'll need to remove the differential cover first. From there, you can remove the c clips from the end of the axle shafts. These are found on old Chevys for example.

    Another Chris Fix video I wish I had in my life about 25 years ago. The amount of money I could have saved in my younger years is staggering!

    Noticed the slide the wheel underneath tip, and the why behind it. It works. I'm living proof.
    Was swapping the front axle on my 73 F 250, when I was 19. Mild lift and 40s, 460, 4 BBL, tow truck 5 speed with PTO, and an MP 205 t case. Ended up with a SRW set off an F 350, and wasn't going to pass up the price. Take them. They're yours.
    My cousin walked in, talking to a friend, and decided to lean against the front fender, while I was setting the axle in the springs, shackle unhooked. Felt and saw the truck rock, and moved to GTFO from under it.
    Took a decent smack from the bumper and plow frame, broken collarbone, and 3 ribs. Cut on my forehead that peeled back part of my scalp.
    Because that 16 by 10 rim under the frame on each side held. If a tire is off now, it's under. I also Try to push the vehicle off the stands now, before crawling underneath, no exceptions.
    Spent a week in the hospital, donated my hair early, as reversing my scalping meant shaving part of it off, and was back in the sho a week later. 3 months of antibiotics as well, and a script for hydrocodone as well.
    But. It solidly beats being dead.
    Thanks Chris for always passing that tip along. It was usually what I did, but that day, I was rushing to get the job done, and almost paid for it with my life. For the last 30 years, I've always triple checked every safety item involved in every repair. If i can add anyrhing to that, it's this.
    Always try to rock your car, on the stands Before starting to work on it. Both times I had one fall, I'd forgotten that step.
    Got my hand pinned to a tree by my 81 Cadillac, installing new brakes, when I was 17. Ground wasn't level enough. Wind picked up, and it went sideways. Mostly incpnvienient, no major injury, but I found a different working location at my grandparents' place.

    So about ur insta story i think an amazing first car is going to be a w202 mercedes c220d. First of all this is going to be my first car cuz it is my dad's second car and i fell in love with it. I like it and i think it is alr for a first one cuz 1st it is increndebly reliable, VERY fuel eficient, it is safe enough for a 20 yr old car. The only downside is the fact that it wad made in 1999 so its very old, and that it is RWD instead of FWD since it is better in the winter when it is snowy. Btw love ur vids❤

    Hay Chris Fix.
    Great video on the axle seals.
    One thing I want to point out when I see the rear seals leaking. Is to always check the axle vent cap because if it’s clogged it could be letting pressure build up and that will push the oil out past the seals. On my Toyota I changed mine and when I unscrewed it I heard a poof that told me there was pressure. The seals weren’t leaking yet but it was just a matter of time.
