What a stupid statement. YOU watch my videos because of what I teach and even admit to doing this regularly. Then criticize the very aspects YOU watch for. You are an incompetent moron. Do you even THINK??????
Well, now that your (true colors) have emerged, you have degraded yourself for (everyone) to see. I surely did not post anything that has to do with detailed "aspects" of mechanisms involving the world of automobile repair, or of any kind of repair. All I stated was that I "believe" you enjoy hearing yourself talk. I did not condemn you at all. In fact, I think you are quite knowledgeable and helpful. Heck, Eric, the Car Guy likes to talk an aweful lot too! It doesn't mean I don't like the person. You both are very similar in that you like to talk "theory" more than anything else. Have you ever taken the time to watch one of your (or his) videos with an (open mind?) To put yourself in the place of the person watching? Information is a good thing, and so is "teaching," sharing things and even "learning" but when it gets to the point to where it goes on and on and one about one tiny aspect of any given subject matter (down to the inth degree) it becomes (boring). So, while you are a good "teacher" (to a point) you just plain are... a chatterbox. I will return the favor herewith and allow you to think tonight (as a homework assignment for you), just what the true definition of the insulting words you felt the need to put in your reply regarding what the definition of an "incompetent moron" truly is. It is apparent you are very sensitive to criticism of any kind. I would even bet that other people who have worked with you before would have found you somewhat difficult to work with. Thus, the reason for working alone. If you are going to place yourself on a public forum like this you surely have to expect to get some criticism from time to time. I am sure you get plenty of compliments and you deserve them because you (are) a good mechanic. But don't let that go to your head. As with all things in life, you have to take the good with the not so good and then wonder why it might be that (not so good) happens sometimes. Perhaps it boils down to the "You get what you give theory." Would you agree that we can never stop learning? Well, then... my point exactly.
ROTFLMAO- Oh no!!!!!!! Now I will lose my channel because you were so clever as to trap me into showing my true colors for all to see ROTFLMAO!!!!! I am sure people are much less interested in what you have to say seeing as have you have only 13 subs. I talk to teach people. YOU are the one talking above just to hear yourself. Look how you just blabbered on and on and on endlessly about NOTHING that helps anyone but your own ego LMAO!!!! Idiot.
BTW Congrats on making the cut for my next "Cat vs Trolls" video where I point out idiots! Your example is priceless!! Just deal with the facts- I AM PAID FOR WHAT I SAY and it covers all my living expenses times two, on top of my "real" job.! You on the other hand are just blabbering and are not paid a dime.. in fact, people would pay you to shut up. Deal with it.
Thank you for this! Just bought a 94 Pathfinder that needs some steering love. I have done a lot of stuff inside the engine bay but this will be my first adventure with steering bits. A tip I implicitly took from this video: stick a camera on a tripod and explain what you are doing. What a great way to take notes to bail myself out later when I forget what the heck I did, especially with greasy hands.
I watched this video about 4 years ago and was able to successfully replace ball joints and tie rod ends on my 1993 Nissan d-21 4wd. Today, I THINK I solved a problem related to that repair which caused the 4wd to disengage and make the truck jump. I don't think I would have been able to figure out the part about the round plate that you have to screw in to seal in the wheel bearing. I'm missing one of the little screws that holds the baffle plate outside of the one that I just mentioned. Don't know what happened to it. I'm also missing the snap ring for the outside of the axle. I absolutely would not have had the confidence to try this repair without your video.....and sheepishly, was even kind of glad to see your consternation when you encountered some of the strangeness. With all of that said, I'm off tomorrow to find a replacement snap ring and several of those little screws ( I think I may have stripped the one I have out a little bit when I forced it into the plate today. This is an awesome instructional video - and your encouragement about trying to figure stuff out on your own is not lost on me!
Schrodingers Box LOL. That was my secondary thinking, but normally the principle stands. Briandsmobile1 did a couple alignments one in his down and dirty alignment video. I now can out align my local shop. It's a good idea to know the wheel base of the back wheels and this won't work if the frame of the car is bent. Switching to a laptop...
The concept is to move your field of vision past the sides of the front wheels. Assuming the wheel base is equal in the back. The "horizon" of the front tire should show exactly where the tire is pointed. In a tie rod video he used the first line of tread into the back tire. Those videos helped me see what the local shop was doing wrong. I had about 5 alignments last year. 1/2 of them were for new parts I had to keep installing and the other 1/2 was spotting what they did wrong. In the spirit of this video, my Japanese car displayed it's first part that was in American standard SAE instead of Metric and this wasn't possible with my non SAE tools....maybe it wasn't an original part, but I doubt it. I used loctite on the threads...the local shop had never done this...they didn't want the alignment to last did they? Some recommend red loctite, but I consider red a permanent install...I could barely undo it with no loctite, why in the world would you use red on a maintenance item? Went with blue and called it a day. Can't say how much better loctite is then none yet only being two weeks in. This does not account for camber, only toe in and toe out, but my car has nonadjustable camber anyway...the only good way to restore camber is new springs and yes, that did the trick.
8 years later..... Thanks for the video this was helpful. Bad wheel bearing D21 4X4 I think. Have the Haynes manual but the video was good to watch before diving in.
Thanks for the encouragement. I would think this person who wanted the job done will spend more money in the long run, because its obvious that the rotors are trashed, and in need of a new tie rod on the opposite side. What bugs me is after doing a job like this and having a customer complain later that something gave out, usually gets me infuriated. Ya want to say I told you so, which doesnt do much good for building clientele. For myself when I do a brake job, the cost of rotors is inconsequential, on my car just an extra 50 bucks for two. But then again we are doing the work for ourselves which cuts to nil on the labor cost. Thanks again Scotty.
Hahaha, I ALWAYS get emails saying my videos need to be short and to the point like Scotty's. Yeah, anything longer than 2 minutes and I guess it's just extraneous fluff lol. All things can be learned in 3 minutes- like his video on "fix your car using your computer". Yep- who needs an hour video on fuel trim analysis!
It helps to first shoot penetrant on all threads of anything out will be removing & cracking the hub bolts loose while the brakes are on so you can have someone hold the brakes (or use a prop rod on the brake pedal) to hold the rotor from spinning.
This was my second car I ever owned same year, 1994 with 120k miles on it, best car ever, I had it for 5 years went on long 6 to 10 hour drives regularly. It finally met its demise (@ 220k Miles) when the fuel pump went and I regrettably traded it in for a 2012 brand new car. I bet I could have got another 5 years out of it
this car is a neighbor's car- they have 4 cars all with well over 250K and they look like hell lol. He is totally opposite of me- he purely sees cars as transportation tools, never washes them or even maintains them. The tires are always worn from no alignment. It's amazing they last as long as they do- this pathfinder, kia sorrento, hyundai accent another kia something or other. Not normally cars you consider to have longevity, especially with poor maintainance.
I've had a lot of luck with just using a wrench 20-22 mm and removing the bottom ball joint bolt the the upper 4 bolts. it pops out with a fork most of the time and you don't have to use a ball joint puller that won't fit with axel in. saves the time in less your the rotors. I'm u tubing a front suspension job I'm getting ready to do for the first time I find it informative but I agree you don't know what ur up against in till your faced with it your self.
Except for you making be feel like a dumbass for watching your videos they are great. I am fairly mechanical and can figure most things out but usually say if I do this again, next I will....You are obviously more mechanically inclined than most and your tricks that you take for granted are very helpful to me. I feel vehicle specific videos are a fantastic tool for preparation of a job, fast forward is my friend but I do like having a plan before I start. Tomorrow I am going to pull an alternator on an Escape, You tube videos show how to pull it from the bottom and the top. 15 minutes skimming through these and I am going to try a different approach from the top. Even though I believe your main point was proving that you should be able to reason your way through this type of project and it is simple, I learned a lot watching your techniques. Thanks for making videos I don't have to fast forward and keep up the great work.
That's not a retainer cap, that's the locking hub, and a buggered one at that. The case looks like it was a manual hub (with the dial busted out) but the bits behind the snap ring are the clutches for an auto hub (the end of which doesn't come off, or at least the ones on my '95 didn't). Not sure if someone botched a manual hub conversion or if it's a different style of auto. The last guy probably broke the one Allen screw trying to remove the broken hub.
If you are a mechanic and need to see how it comes apart it is best to mute the volume, just mindless chatter. otherwise, it's a pretty good video with fairly good clarity of how it comes apart. If you're a novice mechanic, there is some solid advice.
I am trying to replace a wheel hub on a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited. I am also doing all the brakes. Question: Do I put grease on the brake pads? and what do I put on them? And why? Do I put grease on the axle that fits through the wheel hub? I'm actually not sure if the axle goes in, but a number of videos that I have seen did have the axle fit through the wheel bearing hub assembly.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here but if you have to ask if you should put grease on the brake pads, you really, really should not be doing this job yourself. I'm very, very serious.
Lol, they are everywhere Peder- Got a car problem- someone on the internet has the solution. Got a health problem, someone has a diagnosis and even a cure. Need to fix your furnace? Replace the ignitor. The thing is... it's all the same person giving all the answers and he hasn't left his couch in 6 years because he's unemployed!!!!
3:42 caused by hamfisted mechanic using pickle fork to remove joint ,which is fair enough but if you consider one can replace most boots for like $1 instead of leaving a gash in it rendering the joint useless in 6 month
Hey Matt, just wanted to let you know this video helped clarify some things. I have done this job numerous times on my own pathfinder but I always run into issues on that stubborn lower ball joint. The job is coming up again, with torn ball joint boots and terrible tie rod ends. My only question is in regards to the wheel bearing: How important is it that it is not pressed in, per say? I saw how you installed it in part 2, I just want to make sure that installing it that way is not going to affect anything in the short term, or long term preferably.
Sully4x4 You shouldn't have to do this job often. I would check for any other damaged suspension components or even rusted out frame components that might explain your repetitive issues. For the bearing- it is important not to overtorque it so you don't overload it, but it wouldn't cause balljoint failure.
Schrodingers Box It was about 2 years ago that I last did it. I completed the job on Sunday, and with your video the lower ball joints were the easiest part. But, after getting the old part back out, it made perfect sense as to why they went bad, being mainly the tie rods. They had terrible boots on them, thus rusting the inside ball socket. The ball joints weren't so bad, but I figured I would replace them anyways since I have a lifetime warranty on those parts. On top of all of that, my upper control arm bushings were shot, causing terrible wear on my driver side tire. I do blame some of my tie rod damage/wear to a really poor alignment job by Firestone. I left their shop with it still pulling badly to the passenger side, and my steering wheel was anything but straight on (due to making up for the pull).
This is gravy work and get use to doing a lot of it as a current full time tech. Matt, you have a decent looking air ratchet there, what make is it? I don't need to watch anymore of this but yeah, look at how it is assembled and tear her apart. Anyone can do that.
Hah that air ratchet is actually just a cheap Husky from Home Depot. I actually like it only because it is not nearly powerful enough to ever strip or break anything lol- seriously! Glad you get it though- so many people just never get started because they try too hard to learn how to do this stuff without ever doing it
As a single female who has to do these things on her own. I search TH-cam to get an idea of how to do these things. while in the beginning sarcasm was funny but after a bit it got a bit condescending
🤯🤣🤣🤣 im laughing because you made the remarks about TH-cam videos lol. My son has a 1995 Nissan 2wd and they are the same hubs lol..thats is very funny
Gregory May It weakens the brake pad rotor due to significantly more heat generated on the small area of pad in the higher friction surface of the groove leading to cracking. You want a flat surface not just for maximum surface area but also allows maximum cooling too.
You make good instructional videos, but your patronising comments get boring and ruin your presentation, and no, I don't have a TH-cam channel, I don't need one to be a patronised viewer.
Schrodingers Box Oh, I watch many channels, and you really do have a chip on your shoulder. You state, "I should watch another channel", nah, even the most arrogant have something to offer, if you don't listen to their patronising crap. You are a dramatic irony, for if you dumped your attitude, It would most likely increase your subscriber numbers, but most likely you cannot help yourself, instead you keep bashing your head against a wall blaming your viewers.....Einstein's definition of madness: continually keep behaving in the same way expecting a different result. Regards and good luck with your TH-cam endeavors.
@@1435682 I just think he's a pathetic lame ass old man who thinks he is smarter than everyone else.. at some point he's gotta grow up i may not be as edumacated as this p.o.s. but at least I hold the door for others, say pardon me, and treat people with the same respect I would like to be treated with. This guys just a pushy lame punk. I like guys like this cause u don't feel bad after slapping the piss out of them.
I have watched a few module fix/replacement videos with no diagnosis, no explanation of what the module does or even how to test. Where half the video was mostly "how to use a screw driver"...no jokes. You must understand this is humor.
if one was not watching one would think this was a Jim Carrey piss take video (u sound just like him lol ! ) especially 4:44 ! no disrespect intended ,great vid and sarcasm !
Steering boxes on most of the Dodge and Ford trucks(in my experience, do not assume anything) Pitman arms and Idler arms also need to be checked. Matt is correct in his answer.
Matt, take those stupid useless allen keys and cut an inch or so off of them and insert the cut end into the corresponding socket. Now you can spin the allen via a socket.
my 12-piece allen socket set didn't have this specific size. But agreed- I find it way more efficient to strip out allens and torx using the sockets than the keys ;-)
I feel like this whole video explains why people like to watch videos of other people taking bolts out and putting them back in......the whole tone of the video goes from being super sarcastic, like "oh wow I bet theres a bolt holding this caliper on," to "hmmm I've never seen this before" I'm literally working on a nissan D21 right now and yeah, I could figure all this shit out myself, but I would prefer to watch somebody else do it first
So I noticed at some point into your video, you had removed several bolts that didnt actually need to be removed. Hypothetically, say one of those bolts snapped off in the hub.....that could easily be two additional hours of labor to remove a broken bolt that you never needed to touch in the first place. While I do understand the point you're making, I just really dont think most people are sitting around looking up TH-cam videos because they're "afraid" to take things apart. I look things up on TH-cam because frequently people will tell you all the tools you need, all the pitfalls to avoid, tricks to make certain steps easier, etc. Personally, I almost always have a very long list of projects that need to be done, so if I can figure out how to make some of them go faster, I dont know why I wouldnt do that so I can move on to the next one. Typically after I diagnose the problem, I order the parts and watch TH-cam tutorials while I'm waiting for the parts to arrive. That way I know ahead of time if it might require a special tool that I need to rent, or if theres a particular nut/bolt/whatever that tends to seize up, I get under the car and spray it with PB blaster the day before I'm gonna be working on it
Good video, but sarcasm is the lowest form of communication. All the best with that communication. FYI: your making a TH-cam video telling everyone not to watch Ytube videos..! 🙏🏼🇨🇦⚓️
Thanks but sarcasm is actually one of the most elite forms of humor. Only the highly intelligent can appreciate it. Most people have it go right over their head.
Not sure if I have this right. Derka Derka - Laka Derka! On Derka Laka Derka Street! We Are Guards -- ! First thing - " use "Spatial Reasoning Skills" Fist off, Spatial reasoning skills , Dah Fuk?? Ya I understand the concept of Spatial Reasoning Skills , but what the fuk? Is this something for us? Let's take a look . It is - Haynes manual, It is good. The Haynes manual shows how to do this. I have one! Also, if you need help. #1 Go to TH-cam #2 Go to Auto Zone in person and ask them. #3 Go out and get dirty and greasy, start doing spatial reasoning--- No, no , no , I mean just take on the project. #4 figure out how to fuk off in a room doing spatial reasoning skills. Ooops I mean TAKE ON THE TASK! #5 STOP watching this video and give this video a burrito with cross figured cheese spatial reasoning SkilLs... #6 Haynes Manuals are great. Use them.Not spatial reasoning. Also . I have a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder. I have done this procedure. The Wheel bearings are available almost at any major Auto store. You will need to replace them if you follow this video. If it is just a tie rod , please do not follow this Video........... If you need help with your 1994 Nissan , Please ask me on my Gmail or here. Do not ask this this fuktard! So much shit on this video was not needed. Thanandros!
I see you are running commercials now. I assume you will be sponsored by BG products next. (Smile) I am glad you could save the owner some money. All brake rotors will acquire a little scoring over their service life. If there has been no metal to metal scoring ( pads worn,out and not changed) and the groves are not too deep, they are serviceable if they are not warped or worn too thin. There is a specs for this in the GM manuals I have studied. New pads on old rotors will wear quickly until they fit the rotor surface and then wear at a normal rate. If the rotors are not warped,scored deeply, or worn too thin, then they are OK unless you are in the business of selling rotors. How do the brakes feel? Are they smooth and apply force evenly with pedal pressure? IMHO Chris
Yes I agree on the rotors however the actual; grooves in the rotor didn't nearly show on camera as well as I hoped. What happened was the previous pads were worn to the rivets which dug deeply into the rotors. New pads were just replaced over this. After test driving vehicle after the tie rods and ball joints, man- it handles like a ferrari now but the brakes are just terrible. It really needs resurfacing.

I am fairly mechanical and can figure most things out but usually say if I do this again, next I will....You are obviously more mechanically inclined than most and your tricks that you take for granted are very helpful to me. I feel vehicle specific videos are a fantastic tool for preparation of a job, fast forward is my friend but I do like having a plan before I start. Tomorrow I am going to pull an alternator on an Escape, You tube videos show how to pull it from the bottom and the top. 15 minutes skimming through these and I am going to try a different approach from the top. Even though I believe your main point was proving that you should be able to reason your way through this type of project and it is simple, I learned a lot watching your techniques. Thanks for making videos I don't have to fast forward and keep up the great work.
That's not a retainer cap, that's the locking hub, and a buggered one at that. The case looks like it was a manual hub (with the dial busted out) but the bits behind the snap ring are the clutches for an auto hub (the end of which doesn't come off, or at least the ones on my '95 didn't). Not sure if someone botched a manual hub conversion or if it's a different style of auto. The last guy probably broke the one Allen screw trying to remove the broken hub.
After having to do both balljoints, tie rods, and cv's on my '95 pos I can confidently say this is just how Nissan's are.
good video. now I know how to do it..... lol well I will know this weekend. thanks bud
If you are a mechanic and need to see how it comes apart it is best to mute the volume, just mindless chatter. otherwise, it's a pretty good video with fairly good clarity of how it comes apart. If you're a novice mechanic, there is some solid advice.
Sweet! Matt's got some new vidyas. Now I can put down my Hayne's manual.
I am trying to replace a wheel hub on a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited. I am also doing all the brakes. Question: Do I put grease on the brake pads? and what do I put on them? And why?
Do I put grease on the axle that fits through the wheel hub? I'm actually not sure if the axle goes in, but a number of videos that I have seen did have the axle fit through the wheel bearing hub assembly.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here but if you have to ask if you should put grease on the brake pads, you really, really should not be doing this job yourself. I'm very, very serious.
hahahahahahaha I'm not talking about the part facing the rotor! hahahahahahaha In a lot of videos, they put some blue grease on the other side.
Love your video's! I can really relate to your ironic comments of youtube "experts" Great!
Lol, they are everywhere Peder- Got a car problem- someone on the internet has the solution. Got a health problem, someone has a diagnosis and even a cure. Need to fix your furnace? Replace the ignitor. The thing is... it's all the same person giving all the answers and he hasn't left his couch in 6 years because he's unemployed!!!!
3:42 caused by hamfisted mechanic using pickle fork to remove joint ,which is fair enough but if you consider one can replace most boots for like $1 instead of leaving a gash in it rendering the joint useless in 6 month
Matt I have really enjoyed your sarcasm on this video I was literally laughing out loud, thank you for making my day. Steve.
Thank you. I laughed till I cried.
Only talk about the repair. That's all
You don't make the rules here. If you don't kinow how to spin a bolt you should be doing this anyway.
Hey Matt, just wanted to let you know this video helped clarify some things. I have done this job numerous times on my own pathfinder but I always run into issues on that stubborn lower ball joint. The job is coming up again, with torn ball joint boots and terrible tie rod ends. My only question is in regards to the wheel bearing:
How important is it that it is not pressed in, per say? I saw how you installed it in part 2, I just want to make sure that installing it that way is not going to affect anything in the short term, or long term preferably.
Sully4x4 You shouldn't have to do this job often. I would check for any other damaged suspension components or even rusted out frame components that might explain your repetitive issues.
For the bearing- it is important not to overtorque it so you don't overload it, but it wouldn't cause balljoint failure.
Schrodingers Box It was about 2 years ago that I last did it. I completed the job on Sunday, and with your video the lower ball joints were the easiest part. But, after getting the old part back out, it made perfect sense as to why they went bad, being mainly the tie rods. They had terrible boots on them, thus rusting the inside ball socket. The ball joints weren't so bad, but I figured I would replace them anyways since I have a lifetime warranty on those parts. On top of all of that, my upper control arm bushings were shot, causing terrible wear on my driver side tire. I do blame some of my tie rod damage/wear to a really poor alignment job by Firestone. I left their shop with it still pulling badly to the passenger side, and my steering wheel was anything but straight on (due to making up for the pull).
This is gravy work and get use to doing a lot of it as a current full time tech. Matt, you have a decent looking air ratchet there, what make is it? I don't need to watch anymore of this but yeah, look at how it is assembled and tear her apart. Anyone can do that.
Hah that air ratchet is actually just a cheap Husky from Home Depot. I actually like it only because it is not nearly powerful enough to ever strip or break anything lol- seriously! Glad you get it though- so many people just never get started because they try too hard to learn how to do this stuff without ever doing it
I used a magnet to remove those hub rings. came off easier
I really wish I could watch this video and hear the step by step movements without the shitty commentary
you really wish you could watch someone turn bolts STEP BY STEP for an hour????? You must be Baaaayyyy-sic.
As a single female who has to do these things on her own. I search TH-cam to get an idea of how to do these things. while in the beginning sarcasm was funny but after a bit it got a bit condescending
I love he sarcasm.. I feel your pain .... too many lazy no tryers in this world
Sarcasm is my religion lol
What is the name of cordless impact wrench were you using?
It's a dewalt something or other- 1/2 inch impact. I have a review of it somewhere on my channel
Please can i use to the same steps to reemplace CV axle to my nissan Pick up 4WD V6 1995. Thank you.
Yep. Pretty much all designs are same and any differences are pretty obvious.
Schrodingers Box thank you Sr.
Schrodingers Box if just i wanna reemplace the cv axle i have to take off the wheel bearing?.please let me know.
Phewwwwwwww! You got lucky getting that caliper off! LOL!!
The retaining ring next to the outer bearing to release the hub!
There was a snap ring on the outer hub and for the 4 wheel drive hub!
Do know where I can find spare parts for a 1992 pathfinder (2 door) 2.7 diesel non turbo?
eBay. It's a Nissan terrano with a td27 that you'd be looking for.
Thanks for the download. Cool!!!!
Hi there, what model air compressor do you use for your air tools?
It is a Craftsman 75th anniversary model I got maybe 6 or 7 years ago or so.
25 gallon, sorry.
🤯🤣🤣🤣 im laughing because you made the remarks about TH-cam videos lol. My son has a 1995 Nissan 2wd and they are the same hubs lol..thats is very funny
rubber hammer to get the rotor off. at least that is what i used, worked well. just throwing a tip or 2 for next time.
What is wrong about groves on rotors? Does it make any difference?
Gregory May It weakens the brake pad rotor due to significantly more heat generated on the small area of pad in the higher friction surface of the groove leading to cracking. You want a flat surface not just for maximum surface area but also allows maximum cooling too.
You make good instructional videos, but your patronising comments get boring and ruin your presentation, and no, I don't have a TH-cam channel, I don't need one to be a patronised viewer.
Sounds to me like you should be watching other channels then. But you don't.
Schrodingers Box Oh, I watch many channels, and you really do have a chip on your shoulder. You state, "I should watch another channel", nah, even the most arrogant have something to offer, if you don't listen to their patronising crap. You are a dramatic irony, for if you dumped your attitude, It would most likely increase your subscriber numbers, but most likely you cannot help yourself, instead you keep bashing your head against a wall blaming your viewers.....Einstein's definition of madness: continually keep behaving in the same way expecting a different result. Regards and good luck with your TH-cam endeavors.
After reading a bit, I can see that his blood line might have something to do with being pushy, and rude.
@@1435682 I just think he's a pathetic lame ass old man who thinks he is smarter than everyone else.. at some point he's gotta grow up i may not be as edumacated as this p.o.s. but at least I hold the door for others, say pardon me, and treat people with the same respect I would like to be treated with. This guys just a pushy lame punk. I like guys like this cause u don't feel bad after slapping the piss out of them.
I have watched a few module fix/replacement videos with no diagnosis, no explanation of what the module does or even how to test. Where half the video was mostly "how to use a screw driver"...no jokes. You must understand this is humor.
if one was not watching one would think this was a Jim Carrey piss take video (u sound just like him lol ! ) especially 4:44 !
no disrespect intended ,great vid and sarcasm !
Wow what a master mind where is the shad tree
does this fix death wobbles?
+Marty Forkwater In some cases yes but usually it is a suspension component/bushing that is responsible for it.
Steering boxes on most of the Dodge and Ford trucks(in my experience, do not assume anything) Pitman arms and Idler arms also need to be checked. Matt is correct in his answer.
i rock the second 2 bolts first and just hang the whole assembly ;P hehe
Is this the same for a 1991 D21?
Do this job on one vehicle it's the same pretty much on all of them.
How come you didn't use the box side of the wrench ? so you wouldn't have to tape it on
So I don't round it off and make a miserable day. More points of contact on the sides not corners.
Great videos thanks
Lmaoo who pissed you off😂
Why not just put the allen key through the closed end of the wrench? Then it won't go flying no need for tape.
Bizzaro500 Because the wrench was a 12 point not 6 point- it's all I had.
also i think some penetrating spray wouldnt have gone amiss on this repair
good one...
Yessss o said thatttt!!!
muy bueno, el mejor k encontré p, armar los candados de mi carro
I went to the used auto parts and tried there first 😂
Matt, take those stupid useless allen keys and cut an inch or so off of them and insert the cut end into the corresponding socket. Now you can spin the allen via a socket.
my 12-piece allen socket set didn't have this specific size. But agreed- I find it way more efficient to strip out allens and torx using the sockets than the keys ;-)
Just do the job without all the bs
As if you have any authority here. I run this show not you. If you had any followers you might have some credibility.
Schrodingers Box Your an ass ask your viewers lol
All 91,000 of them???? That would take way too long.
Just watch his shit on mute, you wont miss anything.
I feel like this whole video explains why people like to watch videos of other people taking bolts out and putting them back in......the whole tone of the video goes from being super sarcastic, like "oh wow I bet theres a bolt holding this caliper on," to "hmmm I've never seen this before"
I'm literally working on a nissan D21 right now and yeah, I could figure all this shit out myself, but I would prefer to watch somebody else do it first
If you can do it yourself, why waste 2 hours of watching someone else? Just do it and save the time!
So I noticed at some point into your video, you had removed several bolts that didnt actually need to be removed. Hypothetically, say one of those bolts snapped off in the hub.....that could easily be two additional hours of labor to remove a broken bolt that you never needed to touch in the first place.
While I do understand the point you're making, I just really dont think most people are sitting around looking up TH-cam videos because they're "afraid" to take things apart. I look things up on TH-cam because frequently people will tell you all the tools you need, all the pitfalls to avoid, tricks to make certain steps easier, etc. Personally, I almost always have a very long list of projects that need to be done, so if I can figure out how to make some of them go faster, I dont know why I wouldnt do that so I can move on to the next one.
Typically after I diagnose the problem, I order the parts and watch TH-cam tutorials while I'm waiting for the parts to arrive. That way I know ahead of time if it might require a special tool that I need to rent, or if theres a particular nut/bolt/whatever that tends to seize up, I get under the car and spray it with PB blaster the day before I'm gonna be working on it

You seem to know just enough to get in trouble.Never hit a tierod end from the bottom.
John Cunningham Why should you never hit a tie rod end from the bottom?
Good video, but sarcasm is the lowest form of communication. All the best with that communication. FYI: your making a TH-cam video telling everyone not to watch Ytube videos..! 🙏🏼🇨🇦⚓️
Thanks but sarcasm is actually one of the most elite forms of humor. Only the highly intelligent can appreciate it. Most people have it go right over their head.
oooh bolts turning..lol
Not sure if I have this right.

First thing - " use "Spatial Reasoning Skills"
Fist off, Spatial reasoning skills , Dah Fuk??
Ya I understand the concept of Spatial Reasoning Skills , but what the fuk? Is this something for us?
Let's take a look .
It is - Haynes manual, It is good.
The Haynes manual shows how to do this.
I have one!
Also, if you need help.
#1 Go to TH-cam
#2 Go to Auto Zone in person and ask them.
#3 Go out and get dirty and greasy, start doing spatial reasoning--- No, no , no , I mean just take on the project.
#4 figure out how to fuk off in a room doing spatial reasoning skills. Ooops I mean TAKE ON THE TASK!
#5 STOP watching this video and give this video a burrito with cross figured cheese spatial reasoning SkilLs...
#6 Haynes Manuals are great. Use them.Not spatial reasoning.
Also . I have a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder.
I have done this procedure.
The Wheel bearings are available almost at any major Auto store.
You will need to replace them if you follow this video.
If it is just a tie rod , please do not follow this Video...........
If you need help with your 1994 Nissan , Please ask me on my Gmail or here.
Do not ask this this fuktard!
So much shit on this video was not needed.
Thanandros!
Well lets see---- I have 120,000 subscribers. You have 4. I would say people aren't convinced by you very much
1st
you talk to much
It's too. Too. Please try not to look stupid when being critical of those smarter than you.
I see you are running commercials now. I assume you will be sponsored by BG products next. (Smile) I am glad you could save the owner some money.
All brake rotors will acquire a little scoring over their service life. If there has been no metal to metal scoring ( pads worn,out and not changed) and the groves are not too deep, they are serviceable if they are not warped or worn too thin. There is a specs for this in the GM manuals I have studied. New pads on old rotors will wear quickly until they fit the rotor surface and then wear at a normal rate.
If the rotors are not warped,scored deeply, or worn too thin, then they are OK unless you are in the business of selling rotors. How do the brakes feel? Are they smooth and apply force evenly with pedal pressure?
IMHO
Chris
Yes I agree on the rotors however the actual; grooves in the rotor didn't nearly show on camera as well as I hoped. What happened was the previous pads were worn to the rivets which dug deeply into the rotors. New pads were just replaced over this. After test driving vehicle after the tie rods and ball joints, man- it handles like a ferrari now but the brakes are just terrible. It really needs resurfacing.
I've had a lot of luck with just using a wrench 20-22 mm and removing the bottom ball joint bolt the the upper 4 bolts. it pops out with a fork most of the time and you don't have to use a ball joint puller that won't fit with axel in. saves the time in less your the rotors. I'm u tubing a front suspension job I'm getting ready to do for the first time I find it informative but I agree you don't know what ur up against in till your faced with it your self.
I did that and used tie rod end folk
As a single female who has to do these things on her own. I search TH-cam to get an idea of how to do these things. while in the beginning sarcasm was funny but after a bit it got a bit condescending
What does being a single female have to do with this in any way whatsoever? I'm a conservative, pro life jewish atheist using TH-cam. Does it make a difference?
