3 Free Tip Friday tips in one video. Outstanding! Bonus tip for you married guys: wear gloves when messin' with gear oil. Wives, for some reason, aren't as, shall we say, enamored with the smell of 90 weight as we guys are. Now I can speak as an old guy used to old soap technology, though things change, but washing your paws doesn't get the smell out. Not really. And for the love of dog, don't get any of that stuff on anything that's gonna go in her washer! A smart man will keep an old, serviceable washer in the garage. Not that I claim to be a smart man, but I liked to up my chances of finding love in all the right places. I mean, it's bad enough trying to get jiggity with the mother of your children after she spawns them; don't kill your chances altogether by bringing weird smells into the bed chamber. Free advice from an old guy. Even older than Eric.
Mr. O, you were 30 min from me! I’m over the GWB in Bergen County NJ! I don’t travel into NYC much at all for the exact same reasons you mentioned. EV’s are a MASSIVE fire hazard! Could wipe out the entire garage.
Nailed it in one, Brian. EV fire in Luton England a few weeks backed destroyed the garage. The heat from the burning EV batteries is so great that the steel reinforcement in the concrete starts to melt and the structural integrity of the building disappears, and down it comes.
Spent years living in Manhattan... a few months in Washington Heights, then some time in Harlem, then SoHo, and finally the Upper East Side. Funny thing was that despite all the traffic and constant construction noise, when living in SoHo someone had a some chickens and roosters in our building...you'd hear the sounds of the city every morning along with this rooster every single morning. Miss that place, but not enough to go back to live. We've talked a bit before, but it's fascinating to see the difference from upstate compared to the city. My brother went to med school in Manhattan and then residency in Rochester. Completely different New Yorks.....but the rust remains the same, lol. -- He now is a big deal in Southern California; soft as hell now.
Many of the parking garages in Manhattan, especially lower Manhattan, were built almost a century ago. Cars were much smaller and weighed much less back then.
You are very fortunate to be able to have Eric work on your cars! I would give anything to be able to have Eric work on my cars! But I live 1500 miles away from his shop! 👍
I envy you , where you live. Where I live in South Jersey, it's becoming wall to wall people. All a PITA. When I was a kid, 70 years ago, we were lucky to see a car once a week drive down the road by our house. There is such a thing as "the good old days".

Love your " story telling" and I knew you were gonna sing a lyrics to " blinded by the light" cracked up by a duece , another runner in the night !!!!!!! " Manfred man" hahah
I'm with you Eric O all the way, people in large numbers at the same location at the same time walking in different directions gives me the creeps 😩 I need my personal space and plenty of it - thank God I'm a country boy 🤠😅
Fun fact - Half inch is between 12mm and 13mm. May have worked better than the 12mm on some of the bolts where the 12mm was real tight. I've watched a bunch of your videos over the past few years and really enjoy them.
No EV parking is probably an insurance thing. If a battery has a thermal runaway it could do a lot of damage, as well as potentially closing the building for a week or more. Some hospitals here in Australia have banned EV charging in their parking lots. Not sure the risk is that high, but it only takes one.
After an electric scooter caught fire when plugged in to the plugs next to the parking spots for block heaters at the apartments next door, they took all the plugs out and issued a notice of no electric scooter on property and all EV's must be parked 100 feet away from any building on the property. I essence making so you can't park your EV on the property. The only guy living there with an EV (Chevy Bolt) traded it off for a Chevy Colorado within a week of the notice.
Had to laugh at the thought of Eric in a suit, in the city, in a2500 H D. Mountain Mafia comes to town. Wondering to myself, WTF was he thinking? Then it dawned on me, it's a Thanksgiving thing, "Thank you, Lord, I'll be home tomorrow and I don't have to live like this every day." Good thing you went out before tearing into the diff, that usually takes a couple of days for the smell to wear off. Glad to see I am not the only one who tywraps the shims and the bearings together. I learned that trick from Crawford Clements, way after he had retired and just piddled around doing what he felt like doing. Enjoyed this one.
Watching a lot of your videos Eric it seems the rust belt over in the USA is much the same as here in Scotland. Nuts and bolts are always a crusty shadow of their former self.
I used to deliver buns for Wendy’s restaurants and I had to go into New York Cities like Queen’s and Brooklyn and I could never understand how anyone would live like that on purpose! I even delivered to your closest Wendy’s in Bath,I almost stopped by your shop to say hey but I didn’t wanna be “that guy” who rolled up in your lot with a full on 18 wheeler.
Several of my Fords suffered from crusty lug nuts in the PRMi. The last example was on my wife's Fusion. Dorman to the rescue. No problems yet as they are one-piece nuts.
People? I was raised on the south side of Chicago. It was great growing up there. But today I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico. I have gotten to really hate people! Thanks for the great videos!
Hi Eric. Great video as always. No EV’s in parking structures are due to excessive weight. The parking structures were never designed for these vehicles. Also the political incorrect issue is of course fire concerns. Lol
G'day, Eric! Nice job!! Great sense of humor! Really enjoyed the video! By the way... I wonder, if you had misspoke yourself? Why? (Because... I didn't find a Mike's of Bleecker Street) But, there is a "John's of Bleecker Street", highly rated in many food blogs and websites as a top sit down pizza place in NYC. Noticed all their pizzas are full pies, there's no slices available here! Lol! 😉Thank you! Cheers! ❤✌🏻🛠😊
Definitely until the local fire departments can get a foam dispersal system setup on a regular fire truck that will put out these ev fires. Insurance companies are going to not want anything to do with them
Fire extinguishers now exists for batteries fires...but they cost a hell. Better put the costs on insurances rather than on fire dept to carry a lot of these expensives extinguisgers....
'No EV's' in the parking structures, are a result of them potentially going into thermal runaway, thus ruining everyone's day. Love the background music when you 'break out the dog'!
According to a study by AutoInsuranceEZ based on data from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), EVs are involved in just 25 fires per 100,000 units sold versus about 1,530 for conventionally powered cars and 3,475 for hybrids.
My great aunt lived in New York...she always used to send nice christmas presents over to us in the UK. She never married, maybe why she had money for nice christmas presents!
Glad to see videos flowing out. If you ever get tired of the cold and snow you'd make a killing in Florida. Severe shortage of honest and good mechanics down here.
You went to Le Bernardin on 51 st. Yeah that is a serious upscale place. The EV’s are too heavy they had a collapse downtown a few years ago because they loaded too many EV’s on the roof of a garage. I was a chauffeur to wealthy people, they went to LeBernardin all the time. I prefer dive bars! Great video. My 2016 Wrangler had the front driver side Axle seals go 2 years ago under the extended warranty.

@@DD-DD-DD Yeah, but how many of the ICE cars are due to arson? Kid pinches a car, runs it round then torches it to remove the fingerprints. The other problem - that those figures don't/can't acknowledge is that when an ICE car burns it's relatively simple to put out. Deprive it of oxygen or fuel and out it goes. When an EV battery goes into thermal runaway 1) it develops its own oxygen, so there is no stopping it burning, 2) and it burns as hot as hell, around 2000C, which can destroy the re-inforcement in concrete and 3) the gases it gives off: hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, as well as carbon monoxide are much more deadly then the gases from ICE fires. People need full PPE hazmat to deal with those fires, and people nearby need to keep UPWIND of the fire to avoid being poisoned. No wonder the garage operators don't want EVs !
Ask a firefighter if a fossil car is "easy" to put out. They are not. Full PPE is necessary for EVERY fire, so that's bogus. Hyundai's catch fire by the thousands. No, fossil fires are not mostly arsons, those would be classed differently for insurance. These are fuel rail leaks, mostly. EVs are switching en masse to LFP batteries which are much safer and have other benefits. You're falling for a lot of FUD misinformation.
@8:57 No EVs. That's because they are prone to catching fire for no reason and when they burn, it is very hard to put those fires out, especially in a crowded garage in the middle of the city. Something that the electric vehicle proponents don't mention when touting them as the greatest thing since sliced bread and the saviour of our world.

I use a extra long broom handle for both cleaning and seal installation. I've got a stiff rubber disc I screw to the end of the handle to scrape the inside of the axle tube as well. It's a jeep thing!😊😊😊
Several years ago I bought a set of SAE "fits all" sockets and also a metric set. Every once in a while I blow the dust off them and pound one on a rusted bolt / nut. SAE won't fit, pound on a metric!:) The internal fascists are very sharp and grip like crazy. And I'm sure craftsman designed them to be pounded on!😊
I have done a lot of these. The easiest way to get the bearings out of the knuckle without the correct puller is to put the rear lower 12 point bolt back in 1/2 way, stick a deep socket on it, start the jeep, and turn the steering to push out the bearing. I have also found that dorman replacements for those 12 points sometimes hit the axle and need to be ground down a little.
Another great Video. My wife owns a 2021 jeep wrangler unlimited willys . Jeep just pass 10000km ( yes from ontario canada eh!) And having major tire cupping issue. Dealer said my fault for not doing tire rotation lol. I told them you can't fix it then I will. Put it on my hoist and turns out the front right u-joint clip was out of it"s groove so the u joint wasn't running concentric. I replaced the u joint and install the clip correctly and replaced the Firestone with BFgoodrich and never had any issues after. Love your videos. You are a top notch mechanic! Cheers Steph Giroux
@@stevenkerwin4041 lol were all mixed up here. You can say both. Mileage or Kilometers. Speed and weather is in metric but weight and length measurements are imperial.
6:00 Became addicted to one bite pizza reviews after portnoy came up here to maine and learned about that channel. I couldn't find anything for mikes of bleeker street, but john's of bleeker street scored wicked high
I’m with you, been to Brooklyn twice this year and there’s way too many people! I’ve been fortunate in finding parking on the street for my F150. Obviously not much street parking in Manhattan!
Of course the seals are inboard at the housing. Even my old Ford Ranger's 7.5 inch different had the seals at the flange end. Much easier. On to part 2.
You make it look so easy and that I could do it. But I’ll have to take pictures and probably video and see how to get it back together. I would like to try on one of the older models that still has a distributor and no computers to mess with. It’s like you have to go through mechanical school and then electronics school.
Two comments. I do quite a few of these a year. To get the stuck carrier out, use the rag trick. Feed one over the top and turn the pinion, so the ring and pinion eat the rag. It will walk the carrier right out. Second, get a long pipe, and knock the seals out from down the tubes.
I see many mechanics who do a lot of gear work and don't have a differential case spreader. I could maybe understand it in the days when Owatonna tool was the only option at close to $1000. Now there are many options as low as $100.
I went into Manhattan last month while on a road trip. I know exactly what you mean. I was driving a Dodge Charger which was too bit for the streets. I can't even imagine a 2500.

I use a extra long broom handle for both cleaning and seal installation. I've got a stiff rubber disc I screw to the end of the handle to scrape the inside of the axle tube as well. It's a jeep thing!😊😊😊
Bam Boom Splash In Your Face !!!
LOL !! Looking forward to part duex !
“ as always thanks for the post “
Eric,
Great video - thank you!
I cant believe someone put that brake hose on like that.
And I cant image you in a suit - in Manhattan

Several years ago I bought a set of SAE "fits all" sockets and also a metric set. Every once in a while I blow the dust off them and pound one on a rusted bolt / nut. SAE won't fit, pound on a metric!:) The internal fascists are very sharp and grip like crazy. And I'm sure craftsman designed them to be pounded on!😊
Been there done that stuff for about 30 years ( north jersey) hated it. Moved to sw Florida. Good luck my fellow rust centric mechanic
Hey, the side of your toolbox looks like the side of mine - full of Rock Auto magnets!
I have done a lot of these. The easiest way to get the bearings out of the knuckle without the correct puller is to put the rear lower 12 point bolt back in 1/2 way, stick a deep socket on it, start the jeep, and turn the steering to push out the bearing. I have also found that dorman replacements for those 12 points sometimes hit the axle and need to be ground down a little.
Big Nasty II with the correct background music. Been missing that.
Another great Video. My wife owns a 2021 jeep wrangler unlimited willys . Jeep just pass 10000km ( yes from ontario canada eh!) And having major tire cupping issue. Dealer said my fault for not doing tire rotation lol. I told them you can't fix it then I will. Put it on my hoist and turns out the front right u-joint clip was out of it"s groove so the u joint wasn't running concentric. I replaced the u joint and install the clip correctly and replaced the Firestone with BFgoodrich and never had any issues after.
Love your videos. You are a top notch mechanic!
Cheers

Where I'm from, cars accumulate miles. Since you use kilometers, do people still call it mileage?
@@stevenkerwin4041 lol were all mixed up here. You can say both. Mileage or Kilometers. Speed and weather is in metric but weight and length measurements are imperial.
Thank you for clearing that up. I'm a Detroiter, but my job is in science/metric.
I bet those 12 point bolts have made many mechanics question their life choices.
those mechanics probably said to themselves "wtf was Chrysler thinking"
I just did my brothers front axle unjoints, contemplating taking a match to the thing and walking away
I'm running to hf now to pickup a set of 12 point deep impacts...dammit!
6:00 Became addicted to one bite pizza reviews after portnoy came up here to maine and learned about that channel. I couldn't find anything for mikes of bleeker street, but john's of bleeker street scored wicked high
As soon as you said French restaurant I knew you stopped for more food on the way home. It is cooked and plated beautifully but just not a lot of it.
I’m with you, been to Brooklyn twice this year and there’s way too many people! I’ve been fortunate in finding parking on the street for my F150. Obviously not much street parking in Manhattan!
love when the air hammer comes out
I’m actually about to replace my axle seals on my 2016 jku. Couldn’t have asked for a better early Xmas present!
Thanks for sharing your hilarious take on high dining in the big city, followed up by pizza and beer in a suit. Sounds like a night to remember 😂
The John Madden of auto repair.
The 'be cool' pipe😂 "just kidding we don't use that, we shoot people" - Eric O that made me laugh out loud
Of course the seals are inboard at the housing. Even my old Ford Ranger's 7.5 inch different had the seals at the flange end. Much easier.
On to part 2.
You make it look so easy and that I could do it. But I’ll have to take pictures and probably video and see how to get it back together. I would like to try on one of the older models that still has a distributor and no computers to mess with. It’s like you have to go through mechanical school and then electronics school.
Two comments. I do quite a few of these a year. To get the stuck carrier out, use the rag trick. Feed one over the top and turn the pinion, so the ring and pinion eat the rag. It will walk the carrier right out.
Second, get a long pipe, and knock the seals out from down the tubes.
Big Nasty, Thor, any Lisle tool! It's a great day. We want Vic😂
love it , you make work fun. enjoy your humor you would be a great teacher in a vocational school
Rusted 12 points are one of the few places I like spline drive. Pick one and drive it on.
Hero this man. Imho. Long time subscriber. And he still is.
Nice tire balance on the front left wheel!!!
I see many mechanics who do a lot of gear work and don't have a differential case spreader. I could maybe understand it in the days when Owatonna tool was the only option at close to $1000. Now there are many options as low as $100.
Thanks for not shooting us when we make questionable comments!
Rock and Roll cafe on Bleeker 25 years ago or so. CBGB around the corner. Good time
Free tip Friday on a Wednesday? Nice
I went into Manhattan last month while on a road trip. I know exactly what you mean. I was driving a Dodge Charger which was too bit for the streets. I can't even imagine a 2500.
Been a minute since I watched your home movies 🍿 But As usual pure entertainment....And well executed tear down....
BAM, BOOM straight in your face! Got todays best laugh :D
Great video /a fellow mechanic
