- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- In a previous video • Ford F250: Front Axle ... I tore apart this F-250 and knocked a new u-joint in it. Easy peasy! Now it is time to toss the axle back in and slap some new brakes on it too.
-Enjoy!

Hope we get to see that 95 Ford 150 job.
I second this, please Eric, let us see a plug change on this!
What year is this truck?
I concure
@@MicroSoftner truck in the video is a 2000 ford F250 commercial Series Truck
@@AntonioClaudioMichael No its not. Its an 05'-07' truck. You can tell by the wheels, brake parts, hubs, dash, trim, gauge cluster, etc.
Nothing like seeing someone who knows what they are doing. Mr. Eric is great. He even shows his goofs and tells how to avoid them. Love his channel.
Back in the 70's we lived on dirt roads in Northeast Ohio .Used be be a big oil tanker truck that used to spray the roads down with oil .After the truck left .My Dad used to race our car up and down the road to get the car under coated with oil
Lol if only Greta Thunberg could see that now! Her head would explode.
F Greta
HA ! Not first . Luna is like " man get them dirty paws away from me " 🤣
Man I wish there were more honest, thorough and educative mechanics like him around the world. Keep up the great work Eric!
Great work indeed. SMA is about 457 miles from home but I'd drive there to have Eric fix something on my truck befor I'd go to a dealer. I am serious, it is that hard to "trust" anybody here in Motown. I have watched his work and Eric is the last of the Mohicans in honest auto repair. ben/ michigan
@@Look_What_You_Didoh look all your comments are negative look at that
There are plenty of us out here...go troll somewhere else
Ignore the trolls. They just want attention LOL
@@ravedge7042 His Mommy never loved him, so now his tantrums are on a forum that's for adults , not children, go back to your mommy so she can yell "LOOK WHAT YOU DID". This isn't the forum for you kid
Great Job Eric, Mrs. O seemed under the weather, if so we hope she gets
0745 on Thursday Morning Australia. As soon as that cat appears you turn into a little kid. Funny as
Some 20 years ago when I was a green horn at spinning wrenches, I heated the caliper bracket up " to much " and when I touched the slider to break it free it fired out like a slug from a Mossburg and through the wall , drywall plywood and vinyl siding 😮
😂
If anyone has that same shifter stock sloppage issue as seen at the end of the video, poke your head under the dash, the shifter stock attaches to a plate underneath the dash, it has 3 Torx screws/bolts through it. On mine 2 of them were about to fall out, and the third was loose. I put some Blue Lock-Tite on them and tightened them up and it completely fixed the issue. It's a quite popular issue on this style of F150's and F250's.. Mine was getting so bad it wasn't going into park all the way. Glad I figured it out though. Still driving it today and still good as it was from the factory now.
The same sort of thing happened to my Cadillac Tilt and Telescope steering wheel. The bolts all came a loose and it got pretty sketchy to drive it until I worked up the nerve to open it all up and tipen up on them. ben/ michigan
Luna is such a cool friggin' kitty. And you're ok too, Eric! Lol
Just finished part 1, perfect timing...love this work sir, between you and Ray, tbh you guys are the dying breed of a true amd honest mechanic
watch wes work,,. ray,is too pendatic, theatrical..
@ snip whatever, Know that Eric is not dying, can't speak for the other guy. 👍breed notwithstanding❓
i been watching mr o since the begin bought his coffee cup and get my mr o. fix for the day. ray is new seems like not slowing down to go fast . but a good tech
I call him struggling ray hahahaha.
Glad im rwtired when i watch ray. Hes still learning hahahahah
@@jerryhatrick5860 You are rewired❓
As a lifelong Michigan Resident I always thought our salt damage was bad, but after watching your videos and the rust damage on the vehicles of the PRNY we here in Michigan are just rookies. (Not complaining mind you) Another thing you mentioned is cleaning your work bench, I too have the same problem. I just blame it on too many horizontal surfaces that seen to attract clutter.
I used to pack & clean my tools which cleared the bench everyday at days end so much easier to find stuff.
they use the same salt in Michigan as new york. The difference is the the long drive through car washes in Michigan with the undercarriage wash. There are plenty of vehicles in Michigan that rot away.
@@davidpotter7484 Yes Mr. Potter, I have lived here all of my 71 yrs too and I have lost a lot of cars to rust. Ziebart, Poly Razzemataz etc none worked. BUT, I bought 2 used cars that were TEXACO Grease undercoated and they didn't rust at all. I became a believer in Wheel Bearing Grease undercoating. ben/ michigan (hartland)
In Michigan at least it does do some good to wash. During the winter I get an underbody wash whenever the weather dries out for a bit and it does seem to hold off going to the junkyard for a few years
Thanks for taking us with you on the trip down mud alley. A smile from Mrs O is always nice too, I bet your day would be a lot longer if she wasnt there at the shop.
I worked at a nuke in Oswego and remember everyone who lived there had a “ winter rat “ beater for winter. I made a point of leaving before winter. The cops were hell on getting state plates too and taxes were obscene. Thanks for the work anyway.😊 Steve
That plant is about all Oswego County has unfortunately
Thank you for your channel. Really enjoy watching you work on jobs. I have my own business and been at it for over 40 years. I’m in the construction trade. Keep up the great work. Blessings to you and family.
Good on you for sticking with it for 40 years. I was a mason for 25 until my health let me down. A couple of strokes and a heart attack ended my construction work.😕
Ahh construction...so you basically rob people for a living...gotcha
We need more people like you... Independent shop that does job well and correctly... Unlike dealerships...
Now that’s something you haven’t heard in a while, ignition tuneup, would be great to see you working on that 90s F150.
Eric O. - "...the best thing to do is move from this [...] forsaken state [the PRNY]" AGREED! Moving to Georgia before the end of this year!
Great work as usual. So many more battles to fight up there in the rust belt than we fight down here!
Part 2 was as good as Part 1. Well done as always Mr. O.
Little trick I use is when putting on a new rotor I put a double box end wrench between the rotor and the. Lug nut. It holds the rotor in place and gives more leverage for turning the wheels back and forth. Another great SMA video, thanks. Nice cat 🐈 btw.
Luna appears a "daddy's girl"
I've been through so many South Main Auto University classes that I can fast forward past the brake replacement portion of these videos. Thanks Prof Eric!
I was going to use your line Timothy, you beat me to it. People will fight to get in his classes. Cheers
See but then you don't get the full effect... Luna the cat, Vanessa, and the whole cast and crew... I think her name is Vanessa am I right Eric?
I really appreciated the Avoka Smoka... Man was I feelin good after that blown smoke.
...Stay tuned for the Avoka Choka and the Avoka brokeya... You'll never be the same.
I always enjoy your videos Eric. Watched part I and now part II and it fit together just great. I also like the joking around and the puns. Thanks for the video!
That truck got a lot of luv! Nice job as always Sir!
Nice job Eric O. as always the who hides nothing honest down to earth channel, the channel never gets old!!!
One of the best repairs noted. Thank you for the video.
LOVE YOUR WAY OF LOOKING AT THE WORLD ,YOU ARE FUN TO LISTEN TO
❤The way you tell a story of repairs. P.S. I can’t do it not sure I ever could.
Great video, classic mechanic humor. Kept me in tune the entire time!!
22:00 Yes indeedy on the oil undercoat! Still driving my 1994 F150 in PA. 28 winters, 280K mi, and the frame is still solid because I get under it every fall with a brush and a gallon of bar and chain oil!
(Of course, the wheel arches have been replaced, but they all do that.)
As usual, both chapters were superb, no questions asked. Take care. Thanks 😊
Not a thing wrong with this video. Nice job as always.
Mr. O your professionalism and skill are next level. I live in a small town but if someone like you opened a shop here they would make a fortune coz everyone would be going to that shop.
Definitely gonna need you to start taking us to the parts washer and sandblaster and let us watch you do those steps as well lol 😂
Eric O: "We don't work on many Fords around here." And he knows all of the tips and tricks and has all of the specialized tools to repair a Ford. 👍
Top notch work on that truck… love the real (light) truck mechanicals
Okay, some work was done in this video......ugga dugga here and there, spray this, grease that !!!! Back together like a precision Rolex watch by this PRNY ASE Certified Super Tech SMA technician !!!! Couldn't ask for anything better !!! Great video with a second cameo appearance by Luna the SMA guard cat !!!!! Mice beware, Luna the stealthy is there !!!! Another happy satisfied customer a'cruising down the dirt roads in his Ford Truck !!!!! Mrs. O. a thinking up the weeks lunch menu !!! Well done, Eric. Another great historic days work at the SMA in Avoca, PRNY USA !!!!!! 😄🥳😻💯🛠🔧🪛👍
Part 2 was awesome, Eric O . That 95 Ford looked really clean. You should buy that bad boy. I appreciate the channel buddy 👍
Thank you for taking the time to guide us through so many different repairs. You have saved me soooooooo much time and problems by posting these valuable repair videos. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I love how you talk with Luna. Ya big old softy!
Evening Eric, evening Luna🤣
Speaking of dirt....we have every color and variety of dirt here in dust bowl AZ😊. Thanks for the great content Mr. O! Love from AZ ❤
Awesome detail to work on parts 1 @ 2 Eric . Nicely done.
This is the second video I watched n I gotta say it was enjoyable to watch thank you for making them.
Forgot to align a slider once. Caught it on a flat repair. Had a spare for some reason and changed it out. Glad I spotted it.
I LIKE AT CLOSE TO END OF VIDEO HE WALKS INTO OFFICE AND TELLS HIS WIFE GOING FOR A SPIN, COMPLETE SILENCE FROM WIFE AND BACK UPS, WALK AWAY GENIUS
Thank you for a great video series. Appreciate it
Another great video from the man, the myth, the legend Eric O
Funny how this old dog does much the same with brakes, and has for 55 years. Just love watching a great mechanic, since I'm now mostly past this work. All the best to you both!
"You're in all the way" That's what she said!!!! Really enjoy your video's down here in Ft. pierce Florida!
The innuendos were fun. Before I was a high school teacher, I worked for years as an electrician and before that I was in the Navy. Nothing was off limits. I can't say things like the innuendo's anymore. It's a good way to get called to the boss's office.
Nice wall with all the car tags. Good idea 😊 Cute cat !
Any day we get to see Mrs. O. is a good day. She's always in such a good mood. A person can tell that she is very spiritual happy !! God bless the O. Family.
Great video Mr. O keep up the good work!
The best mechanical professional on line....with a great likable family...I will always be a subscriber?..
The way you think jives with me...love the brakekleen thing...wd40 stuff is sooo perfect....
Thankyou for all the effort you make to give us a window into your life...
Wish I was your neighbor....Paul
Love to see you work on that old truck
Hi Eric and the lovely Mrs. O., I always make room for new dirt!
Great presentation dude. Nice work nice attitude. Nice sense of humor. Very helpful. Thank you.
Working on my dad's '89 F250 here in Northern MN, got in to deep with no garage, $5200 later, new (used) transfer case, push rods, ignition switch, gas tank, fuel pump, reset brakes including wheel cylinders and rear axle seals..... Yeah, should be good for a while. Salt is the devil, but this old timer has mostly summer miles on it.
Good to see the finished product.Never worked on that type of job in my time also didn't live in the bush when I was spinning spanners.
Perfect work quality if you ask me. Good job Eric
God bless you for working on Fords.
That and drywall mudding, I refuse to do!
Love the little town.
Great stuff.
Great work! Now I know what to expect when doing this on my truck.
Your wit and mechanical expertise is is amazing. I very much enjoyed your informative video. Thank you for teaching me so many of the good tricks and sharing your easy going style of dealing with all the rusted crud, rot, and stuck parts. People like you are the best in AMERICA! you give us all hope.
I hope we get a video of that lovely old Ford. That's probably my favorite generation.
Another stellar performance. Thanks
Another fine job Dr. O.
Nice finish. I’m in the country too. And it’s a battle to keep the mud and salt off. Spray booth when I can a few times in the winter and pressure wash in the summer when I do the other equipment. Fluid Film is my friend. I know it’s a losing battle. But it makes me think I’m accomplishing something. Good two-parter. Thank you.
I'm feeling ready to tackle my F350 now. Thank you!
Good Video Eric. Thanks for sharing.
I will be doing this exact same thing to a 2003 250 SD with a V-10 and I always try to watch a video of what I am going to be doing and your video is a great assist is helping insure the jobe is done correctly and complete! Thanks for posting!
Awesome job as always.
Excellent video. Never heard of salt on roads in warmer weather. From Kansas here. But always enjoy learning from you
They used to use oil, but the illegal EPA outlawed it and so now they use NaCl, (table salt) CaC12, like tractor tires use for wt and antifreeze and MgCl 2, like stomach acid reducer. they are hydroscopic. They absorb moisture and compact the dirt to help hold it together and reduce dust. ben/ michigan
It's turned out good as usual man good video good info
Good video Eric O very straight forward repair @South Main Auto Repair LLC
Often thought about the salt and dirt probably was part of the reason why I didn’t make car mechanic my profession. I’ve had the hubs replaced and this video shows me that it can be rebuilt instead of replacing the entire unit.
As always looking good brother...nice repair as always
Damn, I wish I knew about that tool a few years ago, I had to make my own tools for that job and used it many times since. But that looks like a good quality tool, might have to add it to my list! Keep up the great work bud!
I’m hoping you’ll be sharing some of the new low mileage ford that doesn’t have the mud road goo on the undercarriage!!!! Kinda like seeing a hens tooth!!!LOL!!!!😂😂😂
That's how to treat brakes in any state, NY, FLa, to Cali. Good through job Erik O.
Every video should start with a Luna consultation
It was nice to see the hub seal installed correctly with the correct OTC tool, if you don't have it you don't have seals installed...ask me how I know that. Great job Eric!
South main auto , your channel is improving in an very interesting direction. Keep improving in .😊your excellent mechanics intuition.
Eric, another good job.
Thank you very much
video looked great as usual, Eric
Having a truck of that model I'm going to make sure I continue to grease that u joint. thanks Eric for the video it was very educational.
That was a good looking truck! nice work brother!
Polishing shafts and kitty Kats 👍
Thanks for another great video!
It's about time for a new SMA video
Nice job Eric
Best darn channel on the tube
Watch always dont often comment but such a pleasure to to see the fine caring work you do
The video flowed nicely Eric. I hope you do a video on the 1990 F150, if no reason other than to how us a tidey rust free vehicle. Plus you working on a rust free vehicle enjoying every moment of undoing fasteners without busting your gut!
great job on the video. Very well done.
great videos... keep 'em coming!
goodjob eric o keep up the good work
Great work!
Another job well done my friend
No questions, no concerns…but I really like that big brass hammer. I gotta get one of those bad boys.
Luv me sum SMA❤
