Glad I could catch another wheelbearing video. Especially only an hour after you posted. Keep up the great work!
I have a question for you I'm always wondering on that brake system with a Silverado what year does it go back to on that brake system with that locking out the back brakes cuz I just bought all the new rubber line hoses for the back brakes but I don't want to change all that if it's if it's just something you got to unlock cuz I did lose but the brakes haven't been working since I got the truck I think cuz the guy changed the brake lines so I don't know if it's the sensor or if it's the rubber hose lines cuz I got a 2001 in that truck used working on I think it was 2006 or 7 anybody knows please let me know
@@jimbrackett2375 Right........?
@@bloodybones63 I was just wondering if if there's a shut off valve for my brake system with the ABS system on a 2001 Chevy Silverado cuz I have no brakes in the back so I'm curious if it's got that sense of thing in them I needed the truck by the driver's seat underneath that's all I was asking if you knew that
Hub tammer usually works great to but a bit pricey from snap on
My son's gf was told she needed a new heater core and I told her that we should try the CLR flush so we bought the stuff and took it the mechanic nearby, he had never done it before but he was willing to try it and it worked. He watched your video on it to see if it was rear first..
The damn dealership wanted to charge her $2300 on her Trax. Bunch of criminals! Thanks Eric!
@Jimmy S depends on parts cost.
That's awesome. Your local mechanic will now have a new tool for his business so everyone wins
@Jimmy S I’ve done it in my XJ. it took a weekend to to do. It’s not hard but it truly does remove everything in my dash. Just a bunch of torx and philips and remembering how. i dont know how much a shop would’ve charged as i like to do all my work by watching youtube videos.
@Jimmy S dealers pump their labour rates up too. Dealerships don't make money selling cars.
I replace the heater core in my 1987 Chevette it took all of 35 minutes
I was experiencing some medical problems. Quite stressful waiting for the MRI brain scan and the results. I binge watched your videos, helped get me through some bad times. Thanks.
"And right after the snap ring hits you in the face, it will hide in a corner of the shop where you can't find it" wise words from Eric O
Words from experience.
@cody well dude I got a scar above my right eye from a snap ring snapping out
Both hurt and make you mad 🤣🤣
I've never been hit, but I have had to ask my service writer to get me a few snap rings, they can be impossible to find lol
@@codywichman213 trust me it hurts, not an experience I want to repeat any time soon 😂😂
"You could always tell the bachelor's, strong right arms" quote of the day by Eric O.
Yeah, he was doing a good job yanking it off. The hub, I mean. lol
I always try to even things out
I take offense, im just VERY right handed!
The left hand/arm is the sacrificial one.
(Not really offended, but I am very right handed)
Or just married too long
That's my strong hand....Hanson-Scary Movie 2
I just noticed when he does his opening “Welcome back to the South Main Auto Channel “ the captions says “Welcome back to the self made auto channel”. That is so perfect. I got a good laugh out of that.
“If you stall this and embarrass me I’ll punch you right in the face” that line had me rolling on the floor
I laughed at that one too lol
Licensed auto Tech here from Canada... Left the auto industry cuz I wanted to "work smarter, not harder" and went into IT. Cannot express the joy I see in all your videos, as I miss this work, but don't miss the hamburger hands. Keep up the good work and my hat is off to you.
No SMA video is complete without seeing the lovely Mrs. O !
I did the CLR flush on my neighbors Crown Vic heater core last week. He had bypassed the core due to pressure issues he said. I used a 12 volt electric pump and short hoses. Filled it up, let it sit for 20 minutes, fired up the pump for a few seconds...5 seconds on, off and repeat(core was clogged for a year and I didn`t want to split it..lol). Put intake hose in a bucket of water and let er rip. Then reversed the hoses and flushed again to be sure. Now has great flow. Much easier than ripping out the dash to replace the core. Less than 2 hours he was driving it again. Poor guy froze his nuts off going to work this past winter, no more. Thanks for the lesson Eric. Saved me a major headache with the dash, and his wallet. Stay safe guys, God Bless.
At around 5:00, when you were working at the bench, there was a Purolator oil filter box in view. May I suggest next time, leave a Fram box in view and watch the comments.
IF YOU CONTINUE TO RIDE ALONG ON JAY'S TEST DRIVES, THIS SUMMER WHEN THE ICE CREAM STORE OPENS HE COULD DROP YOU OFF AND PICK YOU UP ON THE RETURN TRIP. JUST DON'T LET MRS. O SMELL YOUR BREATH WHEN YOU GET BACK.......
Plus he might have to cover up his Mrs. O breath !
Why are you screaming?
That's funny!
You all were exactly what I was looking for. You were the only people that showed very detailed instructions on what was needed and how to do it. Thank you! You all are awesome!
Slo-mo action clip, Eric is getting fancy in his editing.
If you keep promoting Jay, he's not going to be SMAs most eligible bachelor for long!🤣
I just wanted to thank you for giving me the courage to tackle jobs i never would before, but also on that note sometimes I get in over my head when I realize I don't have the right tool to complete the job. Lol, keep up the great videos.
Stick shift= theft deterrent
Road test= tour of Avoca
Great buddy video!
Exactly. One reason I will drive stick shift until they are all gone.
Oh wow, Eric O in rare form, another great video.... also good work from the most eligible bachelor.
I believe Josh has become a celebrity at South Main Auto! 👍
Eric O, great video as usual. Great that you’ll take the time to share your patience and knowledge to pass along to a younger guy. Video’s keep’m coming brother. Fran
Great video. Get more useful information here than most other channels keep up the great work Mr O!!!
The Rusty Gap. Another great bar name!
yeah at the rest home
Oh baby! I got nervous seeing your steadying index finger so near the spinning cutoff wheel while you were cleaning up that snap ring groove!
You work on the rustiest cars I ever seen... and I live in Ohio! Great channel! You and Mrs. O are always a hoot.
Been watching your channel for years probably since 2014/15ish and wanted to say that you’ve helped me gain confidence in properly repairing my own car. I specifically remember you did a brake job on an impreza which happened to be my exact car, I was so excited that I could follow along and do my own brakes (even ordered the same platinum wearever from AA lol, which they are still holding up). Thank you Eric! Most recently I took on the timing belt, water pump, pulleys, tensioner on my car, I was nervous because it’s an interference engine, but it ended up going really schmooth and car runs great. Thank you
Great video! That went nice and smooth.
I have no questions, this is my comment and there are no concerns.😎
"I see how to do it. I'll remember that for the next time." Another of your great one-liners. Love it.
watching you heat up the bearing sleeve with a torch reminded me of heating up flywheel to remove bad teeth and replacing them by heating up the ring it felt so good watching the ring slide down on its own simply amazing thank god for a map torch.
and this is why Eric says "remember the next guy, when you do your work"
I work as an industrial electronics tech. We service the same 20-30 mills 4x a year...plus a whole bunch of other stuff, obviously. But I tell the younger guys all the time "Act like YOU are the next guy bc chances are good you will be."
After watching his videos I’ve been thinking about this more and more and try to go the next mile because I will be the next guy so waste 2 minutes now so save myself 20 later.
I had an instructor that called the snap rings Jesus clips. Because when you tried to remove them, they would go flying across the room "Jesus, where did that go"?
Heard that name being used about the clips that hold the window crank handle too!
I thought they were called Jesus clips because if you don't put em in right, that's who you're gonna go see.
The clip I’ve heard called Jesus Christ clips the most is spirallock wrist pin retainers.
The shop were I worked, had a mechanic that always said the same thing. He learned it from somebody!
I thought they were always called oh sh*t rings.... as in oh sh*t when they flew across the shop
You used your bearing race trick, and this time it when just so far. I REALLY like that you showed that, and then gave tips on how to prevent it. I like how when everything doesn't go quite perfect, you show us it, and how you get around it. Thanks for another great video!
I have a harbor freight bearing kit for years, but replaced the forcing screw with one from otc. Saved a few hundred dollars and haven't had any other issues
A cut-off wheel to clean out the snap ring groove... Pure genius.
My question is, why not just use a sure brush attachment for your drill?
@@inorite4553 Won't get deep into the edges of the groove to clean out the rust.
I’ve done that trick before.....
Love that you have your shop guys helping more , Its great
I hate RUclips ads, but seeing your videos now monetized and having multiple ads makes me very happy for you sir! Keep up the good work.
Holy hell..... This is the earliest I've ever been! AND only posted an hour ago and already 77 comments! Of course that part doesn't surprise me, Eric O, is one of the greats!!!
You know you've arrived when Big Clive from across the pond references you!
i like that ball joint mounting design
My grandmother didn't wear a seatbelt in her 93 years. Just put it on.. you never know who's looking at their phone.. and because physics.
I saw a minor fender-bender a few years ago that almost proved disastrous. Lady driving without a seatbelt was hit on the right side in a very low-speed collision. Inertia being what it is, she was slid out of the driver's seat into the passenger seat, so she had no control. I watched as her car slowly rolled across three lanes of traffic and over an embankment. She was lucky to only get a few bruises.
A seatbelt has saved my life at least three times. Wear the belt.
@@paulheitkemper1559 One saved my wife's life.
I have the astro kit.... its a pretty complete kit seems to have all the adapters your gonna need it works great and has a decent price. It does not have a race puller but I personally snip it off with a cut off wheel or a torch.... but next time I’m gonna use Mr. O’s trick that he used in this video!
Wheel bearing video gets a perfect 5/7 from where I am sitting. Thanks for doing another mechanical video!
I like the dynamic you have going with Jay. Comes across that he is more than proficient in his own right as a mechanic and I like his occasional opportunistic humour drops, great timing.
Not sure the best use is as a camera man and "go get me a...." assistant though. :/
But whadda I know? I'm not a mechanic or business owner and it's your shop so my opinion is worth the same as every other YT viewer armchair expert's - nothing! And we all know the saying about opinions.......
Hit thumbs up first. Then watch
Eric's description of forcing the bearing out ("brrrrrrp-ping!") at 7'12" was a pretty damn good impression of Zilly from Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines / Stop the Pigeon.
I have the Astro Pneumatic set and it is awesome. I have given it the beans many times, just keep the forcing screw well greased and it will work great.
This was the case of best case scenarios Eric.. Everything went smooth
Jay is moving on up with the video time and what about Josh missing him. Mrs. O has a new look rocking that cap. As always Eric another great video.
a lovely place to live and to work,nice job Eric.
SMA so smooth & clean, makes press in wheel bearings look like a breeze! Takes a couple times, but after that it's not bad!
every video i see, makes me more tempted to check out avoca and have him maybe do brakes or trani fluid change on my 20 ford fusion see about making a video on it
I just rewatched the extreme brake removal video the other day! 😂😂 great video as always!
I have HF kit and bought the OTC forcing screw as part of the OTC grappler puller kit and it works fine for a home shop.
Lmfao at the blurred out reveal from astro 🤣 Good one Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Its the ASTRO 1894!! Which isn't yet listed on their website.
Awesome video 👏🏻. Reminded me of replacing the front wheel bearings in my daughter’s Mazda 3, except nothing came apart easily on that car, especially the bearing retainer snap ring. And the axle was stuck inside the hub. Finally got-R-done tho.
Seat belts saves lives, famous motto in the State of Victoria Australia, Eric O, wear yours! Tah.
Oh man the slow-mo :-D Beautiful !
This made me laugh! Most repair videos people are struggling through it, seems like it’s a pleasure for you!
If you take an old towel and wrap it once around the pull piece of the slide hammer, you can pull/sling just the towel and save your hands from pain and abuse.
The towel in the brake pads you said "seems amateuish", there are many things I've learnt from being an amateur during learning phases that I still carry with my other knowledge that help me through.
Learnt a couple of things...mainly Pirate jokes.......These videos are bread and butter and most enjoyable.
Nice job and enjoyed the Avoca test drive tour as always :)
Hey it's great following yourself on these repairs. We could all see your work taking off the hub. Thanks for the show.
GOOD VIDEO ERIC of how when you use the proper tools the job goes smoothly WITHOUT damaging your parts.The bearing removal was classic.You backyard guys out there PAY ATTENTION!!! PUT YOUR CHISELS AND PUNCHES back in the tool box,haha.AND NO>>>the 3 pound harbor freight sludge hammer ain't gonna work{I bet your buddy told you to BUY THE 5 pounder ,,,,it's only 1 dollar more.haha Go borrow or rent the bearing puller set from wherever the hell you bought the bearing.And no ,don't buy the bearing at the wrecking yard.haha BEEN there done that.thanks ERIC
Pirate jokes and pixelated editing...moving on up aren’t we now?!
Nice!
Thanks for the video Eric. I see the caliper hangers are still hanging in there!
Good idea to include Jay into SMA videos.
My one and only bearing press job on an actual press ('05 Focus) I did NOT support just the inner race and proceeded to plough the guts out of a Moog bearing I spent $70 CDN on. I enjoyed the job so much I got to do it twice! :)
I scooped up one of the Astro bearing remover kits, works great, much better than removing the knuckle and pressing it out. Excellent video thanks fellas!!
Wow nice job Eric that went really smooth! 💪
Another quality video Mr O.
From across the pond.
Good tips and tricks in this video, and the guys are adorable so I hit subscribe. :) I never would have thought about the brake pads falling out while I was messing around. And the use of a cutting wheel to clean up the groove in the knuckle where the snap ring seats was pretty cool, though I don't think I'll be brave enough to do it. I will hit the inside face of the knuckle with a flap wheel though. I laughed when he hit the inside face of the knuckle with grease, just to stop people from losing it, lol, I won't be doing that. Crazy sticker collection in the garage. I like it.
Such a lovely little town!
Gonna be a good day. Thanks for the video.
Theres a special Kukko puller for that flush bearing race but the torch trick was most impressive! Thanks for the video!!
Another sma video good job jay
Jay does all the heavy lifting now.
Eric, you never fail to make me laugh. Bachelor has a strong right arm. LMAO
😂😂
I mean, unless he's left-handed of course lol
Over here in the UK, the bearing always comes with a snap ring provided and new a hub nut, the works! Strange how it varies all over the world!
I've been watching your videos for about a year, amazing content. Until just recently I realized you were saying" South main auto.channel" not " self made auto channel.
I had been waiting to see that torch trick again... Sadly, a propane torch,which is all I currently own, won't "cut it".
The dewalt impact wrench took that bearing out wow I'm impressed nice that is shocking the dewalt did it nice work also Jay and Eric O @7:00 @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
I want one for reasons seen in this video! Also a great option, the Makita beefy Impact Wrench
The DeWalt is a great impact, always was... Just the miLWauKEe guys try to make you believe it isn't
Tag teaming the Mazda zoom zoom bearing ! Great Job E&J
Thanks Mr. O, just finished my Mazda 6 front wheel bearings too.
appreciated your tip on how to clean out the snap ring groove.
-my puller came with a Big warning "do not use with air impact tools" (Ha Ha Ha as if!) I do anyway.
I recently bought that Astro Pneumatic Tool 78825 25-Piece Master Front Wheel Drive Bearing Puller Removal & Installer & it worked great. The forcing screw is beefier than the other cheap crap out there as the Astro's is 7/8" & the others are 3/4".
FYI: That wasn't Pirate on that truck, it was the symbol for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Glad you pointed out to not leave the caliper hanger in there. It made me laugh because I am now down to one.
6/$0.99 @ 99Only
Love what you do man hey try and set up a light on yourself anytime your on screen brings the quality up big time!
Some of the best things on RUclips happen right before you here "I can edit that out..." Makes me laugh every time I hear it....because it didn't get edited out. XD
Nice video! Having used the cheap sets successfully all I can say is used grease on the threads and don't use impact tools. Wind her up good and tight then hit round the hub with a hammer to shock the bearing loose and repeat. Once it's moved the first few mm it should keep coming out without needing hammered
This was a fun video and lots of good quotes. Put me in a better mood after I ran one of my finger joints over with a cut of wheel on the grinder today. At least it cauterized it and I wasn’t bleeding like a stuck pig.
Good ole bearing job baby😉👌
That slow motion 😉
Love the adverb "painlessly."
I laughed at the Milwaukee comment, seems like a little jab at the Milwaukee cult lol Great video as usual
I bought a brand new 1976 Firebird and later found a socket on the top bolt of the front shock.
I was a mechanic on B52 bombers. I found tools in many cavities of the fuselage and wings. I also lost a few tools somewhere.
These videos are gold.
Add to your account
We had that hubtamer at a shop I worked at. First and last time I used it. Removing the knuckle and pressing it apart in a press is the easiest and fastest way. Just trying to get that contraption setup is a PiTA. I always had hub/bearings done faster than the guys that used it.
Also always replace the hub. I’ve seen them where the OE doesn’t fit well with the aftermarket.
Isn't more work to remove the knuckle and use the press than using the hammer without removing the knuckle?
I used the Google Earth spy in the sky to find your shop. I drove around the "ground level" places nearby. Don't need your stink'n address. Nice town!
1/2 air impact, Astro Tools code name 'THOR'. Very cool, look forward to see it released officially!
The best tool is still the operating grey matter, can adapt to any situation. Time to get back on route 66 !!
Saw a Short of a mechanic heating the race but he had built a beautiful thing spinner that was about a foot high. Took about 5 seconds when spun fast, worked well.
Damn. You need a Milwaukee sponsorship. Channels with half the knowledge and 1/10th of the subs have one.
I took the Milwaukee comment he made as a jab at the Milwaukee guys lol miLWauKEe iS beTTeR lol
Great Video, keep up the great work. I am learning a lot from your videos.
