      I have a 2nd gen Cruze. Screwed on a should've been warranty repair. Never again GM. Can forgive the component failure. Can even forgive it being out of service for two weeks. Charging me $1000 for the repair after all that, at 20,000 miles on the odo? Will not forgive that.

    I'm retired military. Retired after 20 years. Worked as a automotive fleet mechanic. Worked on forklifts, tactical vehicles, firetrucks, generators and even a couple of lawnmowers/weed eaters. Used PPE most of the time but not always. Goggles we received were bad. They would fog up fairly easy making it hard to see. Ear plugs were ok. Impact wrench sounds cool but will do a number on your hearing after a while. Damage to hearing is not immediate. We received periodic hearing tests and eye exams. Hearing is not so good now. Just ask my wife. She'll tell you Im deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other. Had some close calls with my eyes. Crawling under vehicles in some austere conditions. Stuff falling on my eyes to include diesel, engine oil, anti-freeze, rust, dirt/mud, sand...LOTS OF SAND, and a 9/16 socket. Not all on the same day. 😉🤣

I am always impressed at Eric O's ability to guess the socket size need on the first try. Watch Eric nail it starting at 5:31. I have been watching since Trinity visited school _before_ she started Kindergarten. This is the _first_ video what if Eric can do it you can do it, i.e. Eric uses a Chan-L-Loc to squeeze the caliper instead of the $200 special tool, and THEN at 12:15 he uses a Cresent wrench (an adjustable spanner)! I am amazed to find out that Eric has one. He readily admits that he has $500,000 worth of tools. The DYIer can easily do what Eric does, right after they by the SMA tool-set.

      Ford Transit front bearings (2000-2012) used to be a real struggle, well corroded in. In addition, the bearing in its bolt-on carrier was supplied separate from the hub, so you had to pull the bearing off the hub and press the new one on. I was working on company fleet vans, so the bosses didn't want to buy a new hub every time. I usually had to resort to cutting the old bearing up and taking it off in pieces. Glad I'm retired now.

    First time I've seen the screwdriver in the rotar trick to tighten axel bolt. I may have to use that one. Usually, a crowbar between the wheel bolts to do that for me.
    I am also amazed at how the Colorados seem over engineered. My 1/2 ton Ram has 3 bolts for the wheel bearing vs. the 4 on the Colorado. And 5 bolts on my Ram for the wheels vs. the 6 on the Colorado.

    At 62 yrs. old the trips to the box for the right socket increase. I think it might be eyesight and maybe some old-timers! Oh well, l'll keep plugging along. Good job Eric

    Nice job Mr. O. Nice of GM to put the grease in that bearing's area. Sure made it easier for you.

    I hate that style of wheel speed sensor a perfectly good bearing being replaced for abs sensor problem. Is what it is we are at the mercy of engineers. Keep up the good work love your videos

    U used my idea with the wheel bearing puller. Pushes in the axle and pulls the bearing at the same time. Good job

    I'm from Buffalo, and I can't believe a '17 truck with 50,000 miles can rot out that bad that quick. I freaking hate salt... but that's awesome how the bearing came right out.

    Confession: I am 50 years old and have been a mechanic for 28 years. I was today years old when Eric O taught me that you can use the claw from your slide hammer and a push screw to keep a pesky axle out of the way. SMH, why didn't I see or think of this sooner? Thanks, Eric, for teaching this old dog a new trick.👍👍

    Eric, sorry but I have a bone to pick with you. Let me start by pointing out that I'm 70, a retired police officer and was also a NIASE certified mechanic back in the seventies before changing career. My issue is that I'm a toolaholic and have been in remission until recently when I started following your channel. You have the coolest toys in your shop. In closing just want to say how much I enjoy and learn from you. See you can teach an old dog new tricks 😉

    Another great … and entertaining … video. Thanks Eric. The appearance of a crescent wrench helps us DIYers relate … a little anyway. I checked out the Pakistani Truck Repair YT recently. Now those guys know how to get a job done with the tools they have. Dressed in sandals and “togas” . Please keep your vides coming.

    I can’t count how many times the old swivels went flying, after I got my Snap-On and MAC tools impact swivels in 3/8 and 1/2” I retired the old ones. But a couple of years later the pin in the impact swivel broke while I was guiding it and it took some meat with it. So lesson learned to not guide it.
