I'm 75. Retired 15 years ago, but still wrenching for friends and family. The spasms in your arm are likely a nerve pinch in your shoulder due to bursitis. Heat, and topical pain relief helps especially BEFORE starting work in a cold shop. Oldage, and mileage are prime factors. 😊 Thanks for your channel. jimandnena
Cervical Radiculitis. A nerve in your neck is being pinched by a bulging disc, arthritis, etc… it’s from heavy lifting, twisting, turning in strange positions under the hood or dashboard or under a gas tank etc… Advil along with Tylenol and rest , maybe a topical muscle massage. If it is happening quite often, a visit to your Doctor where a physical exam with C-spine Xray, CT and MRI will give you the diagnosis quickly. 41 years as a Radiologic Technologist with 34 years of MRI experience here. Be careful, you don’t mess with symptoms like this.!! Thanks for the great video. How I hate taking off door panels and changing window regulators!!
First…My grown kids got me one of those 1/4”drive tool kits with the clip for the mobile mechanic on the go. Love it, and I’m retired. We never had time out either, just the swish of air as a piece of leather travelled at the speed of sound. Nice job Mr O. and yes, Mrs O is the highlight of the video
I just had the battery die, and the pictures were not available. The replacement battery made thigs worse so even plugged in it wouldn't turn on. Of course trash day took away the old battery before I found out.
@@robertsmith2956you threw away the battery before testing your phone works? That's karma for throwing it in the trash. Next time, return your pants you were wearing to the store 😅
@@vadim7590 No, the phone worked fine for 3 days. Each day lasting longer on the battery. The 4th day when garbage was picked up it went reboot like an old apple phone. Old battery was a nice balloon.
Today I put a zip tie on my RV and I made that torque wrench noise without even thinking about it. Thanks Eric O. Now my zip tie's are torqued to spec......
My last window motor replacement required drilling a hole in the inside metal panel to get to the 3rd bolt. Ford thoughtfully left a dimple in the metal to show where to drill. 97 Explorer @ 150K miles.
no wonder i pay my mechanic top dollar, the things they have to go through just for our beloved cars ;) and i love this channel, and ive been a subscriber for ages and this is still the best by far..... the comedy while he's working is gold....
Small tools on a clip for the mechanic with the `on the go lifestyle'. Priceless. I sometimes feel I'm all alone in the world, then I see you struggle too. I feel so much better now.
Seeing Eric clean the glass brought a smile. I had a radiator let go spraying coolant all over my windshield. Towed to GM dealer who replaced the radiator and put it back in the parking lot ready for customer pick up-windshield still covered in coolant.
I just finished shaving sat down and started watching TH-cam videos. one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in a long time. when it finally ended went to the bathroom looked in a mirror my beard grew back
About a decade ago I used polyurethane glass adhesive to reattach the plastic window tabs to the front passenger window on a 2006 Sienna. Still driving it in 2024 (396,000 kms) and the window remains connected. I live in Ontario, Canada so no gentle weather conditions either. It worked for me and would suggest it's worth a try before buying a new window.
Nearly 55 minutes for a window regulator and it took me all day to watch it between interruptions! ;) That's a lot more complicated than it oughta be, but it had the right guy doin' it so it all works out!
A few years ago the rear window on my 2011 BMW 328 fell down a few inches and wouldn't roll back up right before I was about to move and drive from Colorado to the east coast. Bought a windshield phone mount and suctioned it on the window such that it kept pressure on the top of the door panel to hold it up and closed until I got where I was going. Once I got there I ordered a new regulator and was able to switch it out in about 20-30 minutes, 10 of which were spent just getting the glass to seat into the clips correctly. Surprises me that I was able to do it in half the time of Mr. O, on a BMW, not being a mechanic.
Came for the sense of humor and left with a lesson in physics: "friction makes heat". Damn, you ought to charge for this stuff! Thanks, as always you make great content!
Such small torque wrenches. But I heard the click-click. Amazing tool assortment you have. I hope your shoulder/pinched nerve gets better soon. I haf something similar in my left foot/ankle. Took 6 months to cut that crap out. Like I got my foot caught in an electric fence. You sure dropped a ton of videos. Like someone mentioned, I needed a bathroom break. Cheers Mr. O. Thanks for bringing us along!! Great video.
Hi Eric like the comment below i am 72 been spannering since i was 15 , my eyes started going first then a right shoulder operation to clean out the crusty bits then one knee replaced then the next knee replaced so retire early and go fishing or something else .so be warned 50 to 70 you will start falling apart . cold floors, rusty bolts, getting wet all takes it toll. love your videos.
I bet there's a lot of demand to be the guy that assembles door regulators on the assembly line! That drivers window will probably never be that clean ever again. Great job!!!
As far as the arm goes---- welcome to old age!😊 Sometimes with pinched nerves -- you can try stretching routines to "loosen" that area up. I can tell you from experience-- getting old sucks! But it still beats the alternative!😊
You will never know how much joy I get from watching you do anything. I think the commentary has a lot to do with it 😅 thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge and time.
Well this is the best part of not being able to sleep. I just turn on the TV on and BAM another episode of South Main Auto, the MAGICIAN. Work your magic!
See tools in the car like that reminds me of my repair in the 80s. I always kept a couple tools in the door like that, just in case. Once a week or so after having car repaired, I was cleaning it. Found 3 small Snap-On wrenches in with my tools. I knew they weren't mine, as I only got Craftsman back then. I went back to repair shop(small shop) and found guy who worked on my car. He was very happy that I brought them back. He'd been looking for days. Wasn't sure where they were. He was so happy, gave me free oil & filter change next time in.
I'll be 76 this year, retired 8 years ago today, no April Fools joke. Ya, Mr. O, as my Mom said when I was younger and mentioned a pain, "You've only just begun!" I still do vehicle work at home, yard work, "some" house and appliance repair. But you must keep active once you get in your 60's and 70's, otherwise......well, it's not good! Chiropractic and my Bowflex are two of several things that have helped me get this far. That vehicle looks to be the most complete window regulator assembly I've seen. Good work Mr. O!
I used a Dorman regulator on a rear window of my Buick. It was rarely used and only lasted 10 months and suddenly failed on a cold winter morning when the window went down by itself while on the freeway! That was a freezing surprise.
Eric Growing up I worked in my Grandfather's garage. My Dad and uncle worked there, so I would get into trouble because I would forget which tool box I got something out of. So most days one of the three would jump my butt for something. So I know your pain because my son's would do it to me. I think it get passed down from one generations to the next.
2:00 Factory Power Running board controls are in the instrument cluster (use steering wheel controls to navigate) its under Settings > Advanced Settings > Vehicle > Power Running Boards > Off
I really thought you was gonna loose it Eric I've seen ya in the past but not this bad.. good on you for in keeping your cool your a great mechanic! 😎😎
Glad to see the problems I have with these (as a home wrench) are fairly universal. As I was watching I was thinking the only difference with a pro is there is no blood. Then there was blood.
I have about 10 years on ya and started wrenching in a salvage yard at 15, had a similar issue in my paws about two years back and don’t have the option to not work, tried everything from pills to acupuncture and finally after extensive blood tests a specialist said my testosterone levels should be higher and now with an injection every three days all the issues are gone and I’m stronger now than in my thirties.
The first two times he said "we need a Torx bit", I thought he said "we need ta torch this". Ha, ha! I almost passed on watching this one, as I've done enough power window regulators that I thought I didn't need any more instruct-sheons. Glad I watched; the entertainment value is high.
He got it up AND he got the window up, I see what you did there lol. Tell Mrs O that her contribution will be to come up with the word of the week, Mrs O's word of the week!
Hi Eric O! Concerning Your pain in the right hand/arm. Look for a myofacial release massage therapist. I have felt with this for the last 20 years or more. During myofascial release therapy, the therapist applies light pressure by hand to find myofascial areas that feel stiff instead of elastic and movable. These stiff areas, or trigger points, are thought to limit muscle and joint movements, which can play a part in widespread muscle pain. Makes a world of difference. Long story short, saved me from carpal tunnel surgery on left hand. Another buddy saved him from surgery on his arm. Prayers ya find someone close. Thanx for all the great content from you & Mrs O!
When you snap off part of the regulator, as I did, you can glue the broken piece back on with Loctite HY 4070. It sets very quickly, less than a minute with any luck.
My son left some of my tools out in the yard and the next time he wanted a tool they were locked up. He got to use them but with fair warning, don’t let it happen again 😊
Often you mention that your videos may not be all that interesting or boring; simply l learn something out of each one and the pure joy of watching the Chevy Whisperer of the North!! 😅😂 (I’ll gladly up vote more Hondoo videos in a heartbeat!).
Some years ago, I had that zap feeling in my forearm. It turned out to be a pinched nerve in my spine. Eventually I couldn’t open my pinky, ring finger and index fingers. Had to have spine surgery to remove the bone spur inside the vertebrae. Took about a year to get motion back in those fingers. All’s good now.
Well, its not a nut and bolt video, its not a diagnose video but it is a learning video. It seems good ole Dorman is making a aftermarket version. They even have 8 and 2 pin regulators. South Main Auto always teaches me something. Good work !
South Main Auto... Awesome video Eric.. It's funny to see you get all flabbergasted when Mrs O is near you.. I'm still the same way with my wife after 40 years a being together and 38 years of marriage.
Hey Eric I often hear you say in your videos ' on accident' I always thought it was' by accident '?? Eg: I broke the plastic cover by accident. Whether I'm right or wrong doesn't matter have enjoyed watching your videos for few years now, keep up the good work 👍👍
Mr O Minor damage often happens during contact sports, such as football or wrestling, when the brachial plexus nerves get stretched or squeezed together. These are called stingers or burners. Some of the symptoms are: A feeling like an electric shock or a burning sensation shooting down the arm.
Mr O. I have to give you props for even posting a video on replacing a window regulator... They are NOT an easy wham bam thank you ma'am...EVER... What they really are, is a total pain in the ass...every single flipping time. Doesn't matter what manufacturer, what size window, what hardware, or what design==,,, If you dont have patience, and a photographic memory( in terms of sequence, it WILL be a bad day)... I have witnessed MANY ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS- lose their shit, and topple 15,000 dollar Snap On tool chests across the floor= because of a "" simple"" window regulator . My hats off to you good sir... A tip i learned long ago(crude as it is)= duct tape the window to the door frame, wherever your through bolts, are all easier accessible... Become double jointed with every joint in both hands.... And for God's sake, learn to pray... Atheist, or not... Then, and only then, will you have a snowballs chance in hell, of having it all go "" somewhat"" smooth. Just my two cents= good sir. I thought you did a helluva job Eric.
"We didn't have time-out growing up. We had time's up..." So true lmao.
