Never gets old watching a master at his craft.
Unless the master is a baiter.
@@mattwhite6315 but if he’s a master it wouldn’t take long…
It may look easy, but it’s hard.
You know you are having a good day when the hardest part of the job is removing a cotter pin.
That bearing swap had to be some kind of record time.!!!
Wow! Impressive
yup, he is indeed fast , and good fast , not reckless / sloppy fast
@@MetalTeamster sloppy like Scotty
When he took that punch and made sure the snap ring was properly seated....I cried a little. It was so beautiful.
I’ve done a bunch of Honda front bearings and never not once has it gone that smoothly. Hats off to you brother
Any tips? Mine want to go in crooked.
I just replaced one of mine tonight went easy until it came to slide the hub off, broke the slidehammer had to weld it both ends and prior i slid on a 25lb castiron weight, which finally brought it off, my new bearing also came on crocked endend up cleaning some more used seafoam spray lined it up so that it started approx 1/4” used a spacer in the kit which had a inner taper close to the size of bearing center and The outside was just a tad smaller than the bearing, that made it go in straight. But what a job will go better next time.
Again..can't get enough of how you handle vehicles in the rust belt. You ain't just a mechanic you're a magician
I watch these not so that I can do it myself, but so that I can be an informed consumer and appreciate the knowledge and tool collection that my mechanic has!
Found Eric O about 6 months ago and have run through all his videos and now find myself in withdrawal. I am not a car mechanic but am fascinated by the complexity of his diagnostic procedures combines with the sarcastic wit mix in the repairs! Please make more videos! As a retired cop I find your automotive prowess interesting and entertaining! I also appreciate Mrs. O's attempts to keep your culinary habits in check as most of the tow / mechanics I dealt with preferred the high fat / caffeine diet we coppers enjoyed with predictable results!! I have found others in RUclipsland who mimic and some who even make reference to SMA but all hail to the king!!
Man it's the worst. I now succumb to videos I like but that I've seen a handful of times. I'll keep rewatching the interesting ones haha.
I found SMA about 4 years ago when I was recovering from back surgery and watching a TON of RUclips vids. Can't say I've watched EVERY video, but I've watched a LOT of them. Seen his kids grow, watched Hannah and Marie come and go, and the lovely Mrs. O and her commentaries.
👍, other worthy channels are "Watch Wes Work" & Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostic.
Guys far from a king but okay
@@dieseldabz7104 You had to make this comment? You any closer to a king than he is?
Just one of the many things I appreciate about Eric's videos, is he puts the make and model in the title. Even though I enjoy watching all of the videos, I'm a diy'er, only have a couple of cars, and when I want to repair something, it's nice to be able to search for videos about that make and model. Some of the other guys just list the video as "how to replace a water pump". But that's minimally helpful unless it's pretty close to the same car you have, and there's no way to tell without watching the first bit of it. Not efficient. Thanks again Eric.
I really enjoy watching your channel. I don't do my own auto repairs but, for some reason, I enjoy watching real mechanics do the work. Plus, there is absolutely NOTHING to watch on TV.
Thanks for posting, watching a craftsman pulling wrenches, never gets old.
Just discovered your channel about a month ago, been binge watching ever since!
I'm a diy'er and do most of my own work ie: engine rebuilds, ring and pinion swaps, etc.
Just did the rear wheel bearings and struts on my 06 Forester and have the cheapie version of that hub tool and can't imagine doing the job without it.
I've always had a problem with anybody working on my stuff....trust issue I guess (been burned too many times) but, you sir, are top notch!
Your thoroughness and attention to detail is impressive!
Now that I'm retired (and old) I find myself not wanting to do a lot of my own work as much, luckily I have a buddy that is a great mechanic and that I can trust.....I drive 51 miles to have him look at my stuff, don't trust the yahoos in my town!
You and he seem to be cut from the same stone, competent and honest!
Love the banter between you and the misses!
How did you fix the issue with the highway manners of the WJ?
Keep up the great work!
I love his channel also, he is good!
Lucky you. You have a lot of content to watch.
I wish I also just discovered this channel.. I have seen all content and every day I am hoping for new videos to be relaseed.. Best channel ever..
L
Love it. As Watch Wes Work says, always spend a little extra time to be nice to the next guy, because most of the time it's gonna be YOU. 😂
Amazing how fast eric gets these parts to do what he wants. Things move way faster in his shop than they do under my shade tree. I need me a lift and some fancy tools and zillions of hours of experience so I can be that good. Trust me if I tried to record me doing this job and showing you I'd have to edit 10 hours of footage down to about 2 hours.
I've been twisting wrenches my whole life and I'd have to edit a lot out just to make it RUclips friendly. How Eric does all these videos and rarely has a vulgarity slip out is beyond me.
There's tons of stuff on the internet, but when I find a video by you on whatever I'm dealing with -- I know I've found gold!!! You not only know what you're doing, you know EXACTLY how to describe it in a way others can understand, and immediately have confidence! THANK YOU!!!
I worked in industrial maintenance for 40+ years and when we had those press in bearings we would put the bearing in our blast freezer(frozen food factory) for about 3 hours are so and the bearing would slide in real nice saved us many heart aches!
I work in an acetylene plant so we do exactly the opposite, we take the machine outside on the forklift and heat up the housing to just south of the devil's anus after Taco Tuesday.
Great tip
Love his straight forward to the point mechanic videos. He also points out things not to during different times of the repair.
And can't forget the tips and tricks that "Grandma" taught him. 😂😂
That pull kit sure makes this a quick job no alignment or anything needed so much better than using a press!
Great timing! I needed my SMA FIX!
Boy that was the quickest I've ever seen that done. Nice work.
I've done at least six press-in bearings, and NONE of them went that easy. Well done!
“A little trick Me-maw taught me” 😂😂😂 sounds like something we’d say down here in the south. As an auto tech student I love your videos Eric. You’re a great inspiration and I learn a lot from your content! Thanks for taking the time to make these!
You know Eric one of the things that make your videos just awesome is stuff like the cotter pin. Most guys posting videos would have just deleted that stuff, they wouldn't want to look bad or something. But it's completely normal to run into crap like that, and honestly watching how you deal with it and handle it is just pure gold. I know a lot of this is for the video, but watching how you just take it in stride and deal with it even an older guy like me finds inspiring. I bet just making the video helps calm you down as well. The torch and spinning to get the race off is a great tip. I'm in western NY I feel your pain, and my favorite tool is the hot wrench!
Keep cranking them out, even repeats. Lots of vehicle makes, models and years to cover for guys to watch!
You make it look so effortless and easy.
Quick and easy for a master at his craft. Nice job Mr O! Thanks for uploading.
This job seems so easy when you’re doing it. Great tutorial
Glad to see a new video. Hope you and yours are well Dr. O!
Proper tools for the job make it so much easier! Great video!
I just spent two minutes of my life watching a guy fighting with a cotter key, and loved every second of it! lol...
Man, last time I did a press in bearing I had an upright press and pulled the whole knuckle. Didn't even consider grabbing that style kit from the parts stores. I believe I even used a cutoff wheel on the inner race. Thank your Mee-Maw for me, next one I do will go faster.
Thanks for sharing. Its always worth watching a master at work. Not to many left.
I’m always happy to see your new videos
Does my heart good to see such a consistently meticulous mechanic!
Eric, I always enjoy your videos and learn something I didn't know before. Thanks for your "running description." You make changing a wheel bearing entertaining.
Thank you for all your detailed videos !
This is same procedure to change my accords bearing. Its just...a beautiful thing to see your Favorite Mechanic work on your car.
It’s sweet to have good tools to work with, you make it look easy Mr.O, Thank You for sharing have a great weekend
It's always knowing the process.
You make it look so easy, having the right tools certainly speeds up the process. Press in bearings are a pain in the ass!
Having a lift is a huge help. Having to do that job on the ground adds so much time. Being able to stand at eye level with your work is a huge benefit.
@@ryanalexander984 yup I’m a new 1 year experience tech and what takes me an hour at work would take three at home without a lift.
Nice demo! Great camera angles. Thanks for sharing!
I truly enjoyed the reach-around performed by Eric !
That went smoother than I was expecting.
I’m on my third watch of this. Something satisfying about the ease in which Eric does this job.
It’s a great start to the day watching you. Just had an ice storm move through Little Rock so was sitting around looking for something to do. That was 16 minutes well invested. Thank you and have a great day!!
I am thankful for you, and your content. Thank you!
I never tire of a great bearing video. Thank you for posting.
Well I learned today you dont need a hydraulic press to change a pressed bearing great video
I cannot believe how easy you make it look especially getting that outer race off using an extension a socket and acetylene torch. 👌
That’s been my go to method thanks to Eric! Way faster than trying to press it off or going full cave man with the death wheel and risk cutting into the hub.
Looks like a brilliant technique. Do you think it would work with Map Gas instead of acetylene?
@@StevenSugref Should work.. I'd use the Sure Fire 2 from Rothenberg rather that the quick fire torch from Rothenberg may have to concentrate the heat a little longer than you would when using Oxy
@@andymacpherson7424 Thanks - I think that's the model I have, I'll give it a go the next time I'm doing a bearing
@@andymacpherson7424 I think, that the whole idea is just get the race SUPER hot SUPER fast so that it expands faster than the spindle deal and drops off due to expansion. Not sure how well it would work with a slower heating process. Awesome method regardless
Eric, I have owned 17 Honda's since 1988 and replaced many rear wheel bearings but never a front one. Most of these cars I put 2-300,00 thousand miles on them, Love them Hondu's
I've never owned a front-wheel-drive car. If I ever do, I will know how to change a front wheel bearing on one. My car has 420,000 miles on it and I haven't ever changed a wheel bearing on it. Great video!
Eric you are the king of wheel bearing replacement. I also love how you just cruise along like you can do it in your sleep
Love doing them on the car like that, great job Eric O !
The right tools make a difficult job so much easier! Thanks for your tips and lessons !👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you for posting this, all the other videos I have seen of people trying to replace press ins on Hondas have been nightmarish, but you make it look so easy, I have a 94 teg that I'm going to be doing all 4 bearings and hubs on, along with my tie rods.
Its all about having the right tool! Excellent job!
Fantastic video, as always. I hope you and the family are doing well and everyone is healthy and happy. You make working in the rust belt look way to easy. GOD bless brother!
The second best thing of waking up is having an SMA video waiting for you. You always make it seem effortless which makes it a pleasure to watch - even relatively simple jobs like this. Thanks, Eric.
What’s the first best thing?
😂 well..
I always look forward to your new videos. You make it look so easy.
Eric, Jon V. here. I always get a big smile when I see a new video up. I worked a lifetime in a machine shop. Press fit, shrink fit. OEM Sawmill Equipment. Rock On,
Now that's a lot easier them the old style Honda Accord front wheel bearing! The old style were a real pain in the butt to change out,(IMO) It would be nice if they were just a bolt on style. Great Job Eric! And thanks for sharing with us! Always enjoy watch Your video! 😎👍
Eric, you make it look easy peasy... A skilled craftsman with the proper tools makes all the difference.
"Beautifully executed" as they used to say in the shipyard. Enjoy your narrative and humor. Found this very helpful.
Thanks for the content Mr. Eric, be safe.
ERIC!!!!.....so nice to see a video, love the Honda's you work on.
first time I came across your content... you have a great attitude and disposition while working. You made that look really easy... and not even any swearing! Great info and tips! Thanks much!
Hello Eric, nice job as usual. Great sticker on your tool box. God bless our troops especially our snipers. All the best to you and Mrs. O. From Vancouver B.C Canada. Cheers
You sure make it look easy. That's where the pro part comes in...
Your videos are the first I look for when I open you tube.
You seriously deserve every ounce of success possible and then some. Every time I watch a video, I find myself gushing over how you just do everything right, because it's the right thing to do, no questions asked. Wish you were in Florida, I'd patronize you every single time I needed help.
I love watching these vids, I'm not a mechanic, these are just fun to watch. As well as times when you do something different , going to pick up that truck with your brother for example, this is a great channel, keep it up Eric O
Made my night - a new SMA video. Hope yourself and Mrs. O are doing well. Love to see Mrs. O cook up another venison dish!
I love that tool. I’ve only done them by pulling the whole hub out and doing them in my press. I’m not working in that trade anymore but still help my friends out.
Watching all the rusted out kick you work on makes me love the south. Very little to no rust ever unless you get a vehicle from the coastline of Florida.
Thanks for the great video! I used your torch trick on the race and it worked like a charm. I am especially thankful I caught the part about the orientation of the bearing (magnetic side in), thanks again!!
My heart goes out to rust belt mechanics. BLESS THEIR heart.
"Fig Newton Meters" was great. Can't wait to use that one at work.
You're awesome man! I love the commentary and the torque wrench sounds.
Seeing this for ages but still enjoy watching. Nice to know people are alive and ticking and facing up to the daily challenges. Notice Ivan and De Fazio doing first live show and reminiscing about jobs at South Main 🚘.
Wow ! Super job. What a trick to get the race off too.
Enjoy your content, and you are right! I did an engine swap; everything went smoothly. I only have 2 extra bolts and forgot to connect a ground wire up
I can always relate to your videos because of the rusty crap you deal with. I think we get it worse here in NJ because there's no safety inspection here to pull the really rusty stuff off the roads. My parents have a 05 GMC Canyon with only 40k on it that has holes in the frame big enough to put your fist through that will still pass NJ inspection because the money light isn't on.
Safety inspections do tend to be a racket in the other parts of the country.
At one time NJ had a safety inspection but I think many states now just do an emissions inspection and don't care about anything else. My cynical guess is that it depends on who has the best paid lobbyists at the state house.
always enjoy a video from SMA....thank you Eric!
I might could do it, but I'm too damned too old and slow. That' why we have pros like you. And for sure, you're most excellent!
As someone who took a college class in big rig repair but never worked in the field I like your video's, lots of tricks to pickup to repair my own stuff at home. :)
The old bob's your uncle derivations never get old. i have been advised, though, not to use it around my house anymore, I wore it out.
great demo on the power in Thor there .
You're great to listen to. I think I'm having my mechanic do this one.
I was all set to press the bearing in but after watching you do this my eyes have been opened! I have had that kit for years but every video uses the press. thanks for this very informative video and your top notch skillset.
A.A.T.W.!!!
As a bearing aficionado, I love me some bearing videos!
Is there a club for that?
@@SteelheadTed I make bearings for a living so that's why I say I am a "bearing aficionado".
@@bearing_aficionado ah, that’s less weird!
@@SteelheadTed 🤣
Those front wheel bearings to tell you when they are going bad. I put mine in the freezer and it helps them go together a little bit easier.
The race removal was my favorite part.
Love all of your vidjas, but especially the ones that have lots of ugga duggas! Thank you sir.
I always enjoy your videos, Eric. That's why I refer people on my tiny channel to you for expert advice.
Maybe not a recent brake job... but a previous mechanic long ago that put some anti-seize copper on the hub face? Great video as always Sir.
Eric, I enjoy watching you especially when you're doing electrical diagnosis, When I was working, I enjoyed electrical and wiring projects, I've learned a lot watching you Thanks for the lessons!
you make it look so easy, well done
Awesome!!! Picking up a wheel bearing puller kit this afternoon!!! Normally I sit on the garage floor with a hammer and an oversized socket for an hour or two.
Matey I just really enjoy watching,learning,well done cobba!
Tempted to drive over from Toronto to see if you can figure out the rough idle on my 15' Promaster city!! (work van) Awesome to see a Mechanic with skill, and experience combined with the power of diagnostic tools. A true Technician!!
Great video Mr O.
That was slick. Must help to have the right tools
Being from Az, not use to the rolling piles of rust and the challenges that SMA faces. And what I’ve learned is that I now love the crazy heat I have to deal with! Lol. Thanks for another great video.
You make these things look so easy.
