- Unstoppable Morgan has a problem with her brakes. She happened to be in my neighborhood, so we're tackling it together!
Check out her channel here: / @unstoppablemorgan
best person to have helped Morgan with her bronco
Brandon Jakubowicz
Can you imagine if it was Mustie1 ! The video would have been two hours longer I reckon 🤣
I dunno about that. But it worked out.
I think Wes would the best person to help with brakes on anything from my mother's Nissan Micra to NASA's Space Shuttle.
Even if he was nervous...lol
Great video as always Wes , looking forward to the next one
Unstoppable Morgan seems to have gained some recent notoriety, so count your blessings you fixed that truck and packed her off so quickly!!!
what happened?
@@katelights try searching “unstoppable Morgan arrested” or “unstoppable Morgan racist”
Yea, “ RUclipsr Falls in Love with Obsessed Fan, Instantly Regrets It”. EWU Bodycam. I was just watching this and thought She rang a bell. Sure enough, I was right. Glad Wes got away unscathed.
Imagine a world where a 24 yr old dust shield still exists in one piece.
One of my 96 explorer shields is still in decent shape. I'm in the salt belt. Looks terrible but in tact. The passenger one (which takes most of the salt) is in bad shape.
Mine are 22 and have the original paint. Other than where I dropped it off the jack once with the tire off, not a bend, nick, or spot of rust in them. Ahh Alabama.
Dust shield I was surprised that a 96 bronco isnt crumbling on wes's shop floor and the auto locks were still functional.
@@shaneharrison4775 Ford made great frames then. My 96 Explorer lived its life in the salt belt. I wirewheeeled most of the frame and it is still in very good structural shape. It has rust paint now. Not perfect but no holes. Sure there is plenty of rust but plenty drivable. Most of the steel lines needed replacement though. Most of the rockers are gone.
What's a dust shield? Oh that little ring behind the hub that I throw in the garbage when doing my brakes.. - guy from the rust belt.
Glad she got some good help on the brakes and that you did a thorough job on everything.
Good on you brother and hooray for Morgan being safe
How much luckier could she have gotten, to have found you out of 330 million people?!?!?
And Wes, detractors aside, you are one of the most knowledgeable mechanics I’ve ever seen. Oh! I love the dachshunds!!!!
I believe Wes, SMA, Pine hollow auto diagnostics, and Keith(forgot his last name) are THE most knowledgeable car guys in the internet world at least, I would put Keith first, he’s just from a different planet
Thanks for helping Her she’s a kind person also you have found a friend . You are awesome person n great mechanic 🇺🇸😎
Oh yeah, Mrs. Wes had that "I'm not impressed look" at the end. lol
It was the end of a long week.
I've seen the "pissed off wife" look tons of times. She wasn't upset. This time...
@@WatchWesWork Next video: How to pick up chicks over youtube. OH wait. That was this video.
I about died.. she ain't with the shits!
I wouldn’t let anyone alone with that chick
Morgan is a hoot and seemed to really appreciate your rescue and help! You are a kind man with a good wife by your side...she is a keeper, as you are too!😎👍
Bet the wife was thrilled about this project.
I was thinking the same thing. The wife was gained Morgan the stink eye the entire repair
I haven’t seen the needle scaler yet and the floor is really clean. This is weird.
🤣
Yeah, wassup with that? 🤣
😂😂😂😂
This guys a pro, thats why
It's like some kind of dream!
I had not seen your channel until you helped Morgan. Thank you for being a great human! I'm from Wisconsin so nice to see good neighbors to the south. Subscribed.
Welcome!!
Me too, what a great thing to do. Subscribed.
Love the shipyard’s queen watching over her dominion at the end.
Funny seeing the comments about Mrs. Wes being jealous. Guess these guys didnt watch the Taco video. Wes, good of you to offer your assistance. ALso pretty cool that you both used some of each other's footage in your videos. Im sure both of you will get more subs, too!
the live stream was fun, thank you for watching
I doubt she would be jealous lol
@@mrswes You should have been in it too!
She ain't got nothing on Mrs. Wes!
@@kevinritchie9227 I had to work...
California + lost house + hooks up with a welder who loses everything + has at least three dogs + talks in endless inane threads + exists off fast food + lives in a Ford Bronco....that my friends has the makings of a country/western classic. If you hate your parents, this is what you take home to mom!
Bro 😂
Those brakes really needed help. When they don't work, you'll wish you had checked them earlier.
Yep. Making money on social media off being a drama llama.
I'm a landlord so I get to see how a lot of people live. 3 dogs and a person living in a bronco! I can only assume that there was a pretty strong aroma to the truck and maybe Morgan too
It's 4 minutes to 5 am and you made me laugh so much so true and you could very well be so right about that but the mechanic should know first hand if there was an aroma or not but I would have to agree with you on that one
That's what I was thinking as well.
Yup.....a big distraction.....forever.
Well she does shit ina bucket so........
Yeah I imagine it really seals in the flavor
People helping each other, the world can learn from this video. Thanks Wes and Morgan. ;)
i love that comment wes "theres your problem lady" LOLOLOLOL
Most commonly stold RUclips mechanic line
Good imitation of Eric O from S Main Auto lol
Fairly certain you're supposed to flare both ends of the brake line, then realise you haven't put the couplings on.
That happens more than I'd like to admit..,
You’re missing a few steps there, you’re supposed to then get one on backwards and then get it right but forget the other one and then you finally get them both right only to realize it’s too short now
Oh yeah, been there done that...
And a LOT of cursing where's the cursing .lol
Been there! LOL
My uncle taught me the same technique for packing bearings over 50 years ago. I've used it on everything from farm tractors to motorcycle I've ridden to championships. Since they bought a hub with pre-installed bearing races, they didn't show how to drive in replacement races. I use a hockey puck. The hard rubber transfers energy and doesn't damage the race. Another good tool is a brass drift that allows you to fully seat the race without damaging it. When you restore the end of the drift make sure you put some beeswax on the grinding wheel to keep it from loading up with the brass.
Pup is getting some exercise. Why are these other four-legged creatures in my shop for.😆 There you go Wes you just did your good deed for the day. Nice job.
Wes that was very nice of you to help her out . You sir, are an amazing mechanic.
Nothing like waking up. Sitting down for breakfast. Opening RUclips to see a wes video. You just know today is gonna be a good day
For sure,guys awesome😎
Hope you enjoy!
I had to watch this again - you are a legend Wes.
Sheesh, the original "lovely assistant" was around to assist with brake bleeding, but then the "new girl" gets behind the wheel.
I would be feeding the original "lovely assistant" more than just pizza...
Great video, thank you sir...
She has plenty of pizza. Don't worry!
@@WatchWesWork Rename the channel: The Children Watch Wes Work.
Well, it was the "new girl's" wheel, after all...
Watch Wes Work
Hahaha, well good deal...
Bill Johnson
Yessir, you make a good point there... Hahaha...!
I actually watched this video for its social content about helping a fellow human being and not for the mechanical content. Best 40 min of entertainment I’ve enjoyed in a while. Thanks!
My wife also has that look every time I help a friend that happens to be kind of wild...🤣 Stay cool, my friend, the dog house awaits you for a few days 😂😂😂😂
I was hungry. My smile returned after pizza!
@@mrswes , glad to know that! 😁 All the best from this side of the Atlantic. Stay safe!
@@mrswes Female hangry is no joke. Men, always keep your ladies fed. If they say they don't know what they want to eat and for you to decide. IT IS A TARP!!! There is no way out of it, you will pick the wrong thing but, she will eat it. Picking the wrong food is far greater than a hangry argument about what she wants to eat. Pick something, feed her, give her hugs and booty rubs and everything will be fine.
I think wess wife seems like a really nice person and she knows her husband helped a stranger in need
She might be attractive, but no woman can hold a candle to Mrs Wes.
Very gracious of you to not only wrench on Morgan's Bronco, but to teach her as you were doing the brakes. I hope she gets back soon, that rear suspension needs some work. Nice to see she was willing to work and learn. RUclips network collabs are awesome. Even the dogs seemed to get along (mostly). Great Vid!
Wife was so impressed lol, yer a good man Wes, keep the love up
FIRST ONE I SAW THANKS TO NICKKI AND CAMPER HOW MANY DOGS U GOT AND WES WO IS A PROFESSIONAL LOVE THE COLAB U TWO DID TYVM
When you talked about unstoppable Morgan, shows what i know i thought you were talking about the English sports car called Morgan.
Chris Stephens
good point made me laugh
I heard of Morgan car
I was hoping it was a Morgan.
lol That's the reason i'm here. Stayed to watch anyway.
My hats off to you my friend for helping out a friend in need. Because a friend in need, is a friend indeed. ✌
Great fix Wes ,, good to be that you saw her video and were at the right place & time to offer the help.. She probably doesn't realize how bad they really were ,, litteraly life and death , for herself or someone else .. Vehicles are only machines that wear out ,, they need regular service and inspections of all areas of design ,, some problems can be frustrating with costs and delays ... but no brakes can be death..
.. I also Turned wrenches for many years and would have loved to had a shop setup at home ,, always was a dream but didn't happen ,, life changes constantly ..
...I hope that many road travelers watch your video's like this and think about vehicle maintenance scheduled into the plans..
And if they are in your area ,, you might be able to schedule a few in ,, you deserve the reference and clientele..
.. Again as a concerned viewer of some of these road warriors ,, Thank You for stepping up to help !! .. And a big Thank You Mrs. Wes ..for being the wife and person that you are..obviously a strong and secure marriage ..
..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....
😎
That is so awesome that you helped her out it just shows there’s good people left in this world
The almost big washers probably spelled the death of the Audi as replacing the inboard discs took an act of god. Morgan's drivers seat / toilet would come in real handy if her brakes failed suddenly.
You and the boss lady are ANGELS for helping Morgan out. God has blessed all of you again
Dear Mr. Wes.
Now look at that! The unstoppable Morgan really wasn't stoppable (in the true sense of the words)!
👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always. Congrats. Although it is already 24yo that Bronco looks nearly rust free (although it was driven in the winter and on the salt flats). Pretty amazing! I guess a good rinsing with water (pressure washer and/or hose) always managed to get rid of the salt/dirt.
This RUclips collaboration was nice to see and I'm curiously looking forward to watch part 2.(and, if course, the next part of the great crawler series too). I guess having 4 dogs in the shop was a premiere too. I simply love dogs.💚
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people and dogs.
Really nice of you to help her....nothing like showing up with all four brakes shot.
Man, I tried watching Morgans channel, but Holy crud! Nothing but freaking drama and chaos! That gal needs to get to a city, stay there, sell the Bronco, by a Civic, find a decent relationship, and for the love of God, quit RUclips! No amount of YT money can be worth the chaos in that gals life.
And I'm pretty sure your wife didn't care for her hanging out. I know how to read a woman's response...and she gave ya that special look when you asked her about the first collaboration!
Dude, never do that again! :)
Wes says THATS NOT RUST...
That is surface oxidation rust comes off in chunks.
@@johnmccallum8512 Blowing chunks now because you get to find out what leaves upstream
i am sO GLAD to see someone pack bearings the right way! ive missed seeing it so many use pre packed or machine packed ones. thank you wes!
That's how dad taught me.
I work in a shop, one of the "old timers" always packs the hubs full of grease. Tried to explain that grease doesn't flow or circulate, even when I showed him one of his hubs packed full of bright pink grease and after 5000 miles only two dark rings where the bearings are. I pack the bearings like Wes does, can't remember if it was my dad or his dad that taught how to pack bearings, I have passed the knowledge to my son.
hey cyber. Yeah him and Eric O
Talk about a "lost art". Packing a bearing in that fashion was the way I was taught by my Uncle Mike back in the early sixties when I was just a wee lad and just learning the enjoyment of busting wrenches (and knuckles). Still do it the same way even though I was presented a fine bearing grease injector years ago which still resides in its original box somewhere in my shop. Where I do no longer remember. I grease them the same way even when they are going into an oil bath environment. I also drill out, tap and insert grease fittings in all my "permanently lubricated " U-joints, tie rod ends, drag links, steering shafts etc. I've found that "permanent " means between 2 to 5 years depending upon severity of environment.
Thanks for showing her your kindness and big heart. At least she will be much safer in her travels now.
A sweet young woman giggling in the shop. I've never seen Wes walk so lightly and be happy to do the repair.
I like the chaos the extra pups bring. An old farm dog used to walk to my dad's shop every day, stay until lunch, and then walk back home every evening. He fell asleep under a car once and then freaked out when he woke up and was locked in. He made quite a mess of the place trying to get out. My bluetick hound is much more laid back and sleeps most of the time, UNLESS there are visitors. Then he can't sit still.
Love the videos of all you guys but especially the doggies! Excellent explanation and tutorial on the brake job, Wes. You are a terrific teacher and Morgan is a great and apt student! Now I am subscribed to her channel too and with winter in NY approaching may actually have time to watch! I did my first brake job on my 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe circa 1954 when I was about 13...it was somewhat more simple then, but not much has really changed.
Good on you, Wes…I know your affinity for ticking time bombs, but this one I would have left alone.
Way to go Wes, you helped a traveler to be safer on the road
Wes, if you weren't running a full-time repair station, you would make a phenomenal instructor at an automotive technical school. Great video. Cheers.
Hey Wes good job and thanks for fixing her brakes. I'm actually from Morgan's channel and saw you were collaborating with her to do them there brakes and I have to say that was a real stand up thing to offer to help her out. And with that you now have a new subscriber and I can't wait to start binging on your channel and catch up on your video's. Anyways I'll see ya when I see ya. Much respect!!!
I came from Morgan also, it's alot more chill over here..
Looks like you dodged a bullet on this one Wes.
Pretty good first uTube collaboration! 👍
I think so too!
Thanks for showing the spring steps, Wes. I always had a headache with my 88 Ford Econoline with them and the adjuster cable.
Lonely life living on the road. Your a good man Wes, and he’ll of a mechanic
So glad I watched this- you’re such a good teacher. Thanks for helping Morgan. 🍃
My day is complete.... purple anti seize sighting.
I came to your channel because of unstoppable Morgan. It was so great of you to help her. But I have to say I really found myself interested in your how to of fixing brakes. You are a funny guy and a great teacher. My dad was a a great mechanic he even worked on airplanes and you remind me of him. I will keep watching.
My mechanic brother thank you so much for emailing her and getting her to come to your shop I was in the comments on her life trying to help her there were so many people commenting she wouldn't see what I was trying to tell her to do and I am glad she went to an a1 mechanic like yourself I also want to become a RUclips shop mechanic I do classic car restorationI heard you mentioned you like that classic car work if you ever want to collaborate that would be cooland I really appreciate again how thorough you did her brakes wheel bearings I made sure it was together correctly 👍
Nothing like a global network of contacts. Great job helping and teaching another youtuber in need.
RUclipsr helping another youtuber is nice to see👍
Hey you! Glad to see you here ❤️❤️❤️
@@UnstoppableMorgan Thanks i was allready here for a while though. But you should visit other car youtubers also that would be fun👍
Very nice of you to help Morgan.
Glad to know she has good brakes now.
This is awesome Wes👍👍
Thanks Hank. Watching your crane video now!
Very nice of you to volunteer your services Wes. Definitely the right person for the job
The wife made sure to be "in the office" that day. lol.
I’ve done brakes on my own vehicles but luckily they’ve all had discs in all four corners. Drums look hard!?
Thank you for sharing!!
Hey Wes. Love your videos. Just saw her latest post where she’s having truck problems again. She refers to the fact she just wanted to get out of there (your place) and she felt uncomfortable. You may want to avoid helping her again.
No good deed goes unpunished
Been thinking about this, I don't know about the situation but she didn't have to accept the offer to fix her brakes and it seems Wes was trying to teach her how to fix them.
I watched part of that live stream as well and heard it clear as day. Of course it doesn't help that 3/4ths of her watchers are idiots and have no idea what they are talking about and she is also pretty much clueless. Watching her live streams are like watching a train wreck, airplane crash, and high rise fire all at the same time. No wonder she deletes them right after she is finished with them.
Glad you could help this young lady get her vehicle/home up and running once again. Hope she gets to see some good color. Thanks for sharing.
At this point in its history her 24 year old Bronco has transitioned from reliable transportation into a ticking time bomb. 0_o
Thanks for helping Morgan. You rock! I went to college in Chicago. Live in Salt Lake City now. I pulled wrenches in the Air Force and play with a Corvette as a hobby. Watch you now too. Hang in there.
You just saved a road warriors butt.. congrads on your good deed!
So awesome you took the time to help her Wes. Unstoppable Morgan you are an awesome assistant. You jumped right in and got dirty asking minimal questions and truly acted interested and caught on super fast. Well done both of you. I hope we see Unstoppable Morgan on another episode in the future. Travel safely
"My next boyfriend will be in to filming me" Probably not in the way you're thinking.
She's waaaay ahead of you on that...
@@blacksand357 Yeah, I watched both of their live streams at once. It was entertaining.
@Leroy Jackson Is that so? You clearly missed the joke. I married a girl like her.
@@TechGorilla1987 just waiting for Leroy there or someone to make a comment saying “I am a girl like her”
@@aterack833 should I be the one to make that comment LOL is it good or bad, if it's good I'll take it.
Glad you were there to help. Those brakes were in really bad shape. Her life was in serious jeopardy driving that thing across country. She wouldn't have made through any mountainous areas. You're a true gentleman and professional!
ford found off road dead
That's what it's all about, good people helping good people.
Awesome job man, what a great person you are. You make me believe in humanity again.
Two of my favourite you tuber collaborator together. Love the way you do this Wes .much love from the uk
I’m impressed Wes. I’ve been watching Morgan for a couple months now and she’s had her fair share of drama. Nice seeing you offer your help and I subscribed because of it. So far, I like your channel too. Thanks for being a good helpful person in a world of selfish what am I going to get out of it people.
I know those wife eye's lol so what u think then that look.😂😂
There will be blood!
Thanks for helping Morgan. Watching you makes me want to learn how to work on cars. I'm very mechanically inclined. But I too have carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis.
when he used that air gun on the brakes i thought it was a battery operated one and was like damn that's good
yes that's a really compact gun I thought the same
Great job wes its great seeing people help each other out and its also about safety of all of us breaks are the most important thing on a car/truck so its great 2 guys worked together love all your videos and your work u are a great guy
No way. Wes and wife are solid, just like me and my best friend, wife of 35 years, just nice to help
Nice job teaching her. She'll have that knowledge for life and know how next time on her own. 👍👍👍
Can you ask Morgan to come to the UK to have a look at my car, Wes? There's nothing wrong with it, but she can still come to have a look at it. Lol.
🤣🤣🤣
@@UnstoppableMorgan Can't see what you put there, but I hope it's three laughing faces. 😂😂😂
@@UnstoppableMorgan PS. South West Wales [UK] is beautiful this time of the year. I am blessed to live right by the beach too. 😉😂😂
Unstoppable Morgan
Here in the UK i follow a RUclipsr who lives in a converted ex-ambulance, his name is Connor, he also lives with his dog.
He's done a largish tour of Europe last year but he's been stuck in the UK due to Covid this year.
His channel is called Project Amber, ruclips.net/user/ProjectAmber
He's a top guy !
Great video. I have done brakes and bearings several times on my one owner Bronco. Loved the detailed coverage on the 3 screw automatic locking hubs. They are kind of rare. OEM on mine was a 6 screw but was replaced under warranty with 3 screw. When repacking bearings I only found 1 video on taking them apart and it wasn't very good. Hope your video comes up when searching for automatic locking hub bearing repack.
I took pictures before disassembling to be sure I got it together right.
I owned this exact same model and year as a kid. It's almost as if the Ford engineers sat around thinking "How can we really piss-off mechanics and DIY-ers this model year?"
Yeah this is not a fun brake job by any means!
@@WatchWesWork It's sometimes said the Lord 'watches over fools, babies and the United States'..at the rate she was going, you probably saved her life with those repairs. Good on ya.
From a canadian your one of the best north american mechanics ive seen so far.
Man, are you lucky you didn't get any more involved with her!
Hi, Came to your channel from watching Morgan’s last video. I don’t know much about either one of you but this video seems like something I’ll enjoy watching. So I subscribed. You have peaked my curiosity so I need to go back and see what the story is on this old dragline. I wish you luck with it. And, although I’m also fairly new to Morgan’s channel, I also would like to add my thanks for helping her. She appears to have a host of problems and seems to be content to coast through life, much like I would bet her Bronco has been coasting through stop signs until recently (bad joke)... If only we could throw on some new parts to people to get them back on course and going again, how simple things would be. In that general direction, I think you really helped her out and now she will at least have a more reliable vehicle on her journey! Here’s hoping she figures out where she is going and out to get there...
After seeing the livestream, I watched a few of her videos. That chick has got more issues than that rusty Tahoe Wes worked on recently. Yikes, RUN AWAY!!!!
She's doing fine.
Judge not lest you be judged
My first USA car was a 1977 Econoline (3 on the tree, 6 cyl). It had noisy brakes that worked well and I I just assumed that they were noisy because it was old (this was in 1996). 2 months and my miles later when driving through a town with mirror window buildings I could se, every time I braked, lots of sparks and some flames poured out of my wheels. My rotors were almost down to the fins, the pads were ...well there was enough of the backing plate to cover the piston! Broke lots of tools including a 16" G clamp getting the brakes the back together.
That style of brakes are kind of known for that. The abutment surface goes all the way across the rotor, so the pad can never come out.
LOL. .. Just reading through Wes' s comments.
What are the chances that you and I have the same name.
Regards from S Africa
Thomas Clive Greenall
Wes you just saved the lady that lady from a nasty trip on the Highway to Heaven great day thanks
I dunno about that, but at least we improved things.
You are awesome !!! Kudos to a great mechanic and a outstanding father !!!! God bless you and your family. Be safe and strong. You are a true American with so much hope.
I'd have paid money to see Wes's face when she said "sh*t"...
Glad you could help a fellow RUclipsr
I tried once and got emailed back our videos are released 2 weeks after we are in that area
So I was confused as to why they asked for help
That bronco is is great shape for its age
I'd just like to point out, Everything you did was correct (as always). Keep up the good work...
I bought a 10 acre farm in the Driftless. Beautiful country particularly right now in the fall. I'll keep an eye out fer that Bronco. Not to be impolite in any way, but she's quite the looker. You did an excellent job as always Wes.
Greasing the bearings is such a therapeutic thing to watch!
It's also therapeutic to pack them with grease. Especially if you have to do a lot of them.
Best regards, luck and health.
Meh, I have a packing cup. $15 and works better.
@@douglasjreynolds
But working with that is definitely not therapeutic. 😁
Best regards luck and health.
I have the packing cup as well. I'd rather do 100 bearings by hand than fumble with that greasy cup and then have to clean it.
@@WatchWesWork
👍👌👏Yeah!
And cleaning that packing cup isn't therapeutic too. 😁😂
The best part of waking up is Wes and his videos, but also folgers in your cup.
OK so 2 minutes in I wanted to check out her channel. Checking out her channel for 2 minutes and I want nothing to do with it. She seemed fun for a few minutes but then I realized she needs help and medication. I hope it's just an act
Sorry you feel the need to judge everyone, let alone from a few minutes of video. Why share such a useless thought? Make you feel good about yourself?
She is a recovering alcoholic who runs from her problems BUT... Sometimes you cannot help but to watch a train wreck either way your dude helped a girl without solicitation of anything besides honest collaboration
Hi Wes, I’m was sat here itching to profile that brake pipe to the right rear axle. It was killing me man. Nice job as usual. Chris. (UK)
The impromptu stream the other night makes a lot more sense.
I would eat off the bottom of that bronco compared to some of the ones I've seen. And Wes, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Not sure with that toilet though... :D Rusty salted vehicles would just ad salt to your food :D
@@valde3336 I was reading it wondering if that’s the “exactly” that they were talking about and got concerned a bit
@@aterack833 Didn't even cross my mind. Now I hope not.
@@valde3336 @aterack833 Are you guys saying she puts a new meaning to eat shi^? 🤪🤣
I would've never thought to turn a Bronco into an overland rig, but I'm actually super impressed! 😂
