living in SC not aware what is that brown stuff on the underside of the car get a bit on my exhaust but that is it :} man i feel for you coming from massatoilet i know your pain brother!
quinton quill Me either, I escaped Michitoilet back in '92 and am now in SC too. I have also never had to change a wheel bearing on any of my cars which makes me wonder if the salt plays a part in their demise also even though they're sealed. I have 6 cars......two with over 200k miles, three with between 100 and 200k miles and 1 with 80k miles.
If BIG NASTY can't do it time for the crusher
Link for sanding discs?
I have to agree VW and anything else Europe made out of my wheel house too 🤣😂🤣
I love listening to Eric chuntering on, he should do a podcast - Chewin the cud with Eric O. Any votes.
I second the motion! This series was Eric at his best. Everything came together nicely and I was thoroughly entertained. Good job, Sir Eric and Mrs. O!
✋
Would that make him a her?
One thunbs down already? Dang, Scotty Kilmer is up early this morning.
😂😂😂 im dyin lmao
i wonder if anyone still clicks on scotty's click bait videos now, they are all so bad with the same image of him either pointing left or right
@@johnames6430 How many videos has he made saying that he is quitting You Tube or retiring? LOL!
@@seeya205 I stopped watching him a long time ago, so many better channels out there
@@johnames6430 I clicked a few several years ago but I quickly realized my mistake and told youtube to stop recommending his videos to me.
Eric O needs to get an automated answering machine: Press one for VW/Audi; Press 2 for anything else. Press one says "Well, there's your problem lady!", then a hang-up dial-tone.
This is a great comment
Nope don't call Eric@
No Eric O needs people to honor his request to not call him. He can't answer calls from possibly hundreds of followers a day. He could not get anything accomplished. Think of how you would feel in his place, people calling for free info.
I have much more respect for a man that knows and can admit to his limits and weakness than a man that lets his bravado get the best of him and takes on things that he is woefully unprepared for.
By the end of the 4th video in this series, you must have swept up 20lbs of Subaru off the floor.
Man, he should get some dust mask or something. I think there might be another 5lbs of Subaru that went into his lungs..
It's Saturday morning! A hot coffee, laptop, South Main Auto repair videos...........Life doesn't get much better........Two thumbs up!
Two years ago we found a tool called the Hub Shocker. Works awesome on the rear Subaru bearings. Just have to pull wheel speed sensor first and use a 10 pound sledge hammer. Tens years experience at Subaru dealers and I've only had one wheel speed sensor bolt break on anything newer than 2009. Love the channel !
When Eric O. say "this part is from Napa" how many of you/us say "not a sponsor" before he does.
I do!
I'm surprised Eric's local Napa outlet haven't added "Not a Sponsor" to their shop sign 😂
Hahaha! Yep! Me too!
Omg - I literally said it out loud.
A note on retirement: I took medical retirement a while back. The first few months were great. Then you get bored so you find stuff to do. Then you find more stuff to do. And some more. They say that when you retire, every day is a Saturday. Wrong. Every day is a Monday because you've got no more excuses not to work. Never worked so much in my life. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a Ford dually that needs some battery terminal love and two flats. I need a vacation from retirement.
I love that when you go to "Big Nasty" on Amazon, that the "manufacturer" video is Mr O abusing a ball joint.
Big Nasty should have its own TH-cam channel. Just vids of Big Nasty walkin' the walk.
I remember watching that video when Big Nasty was defeated, sad day in the tool world!
Thanks for your contributions to the automotive repair industry. I am currently fighting with some rear subaru wheel bearings. It's a terrible design. One side had a siezed cv axle... had to order a new axle... the other side came out in 2 pieces... still working on getting the other half out. Love your vids. Watch them regularly. Keep on keeping on.
The sheep sound effect when you're spraying Fluid Film gets me every time! 😂 Gotta thank you for introducing me to that awesome product a few years ago. It has been instrumental in saving my vehicles from the salty UK roads ever since!
I'm recovering from having my knee replaced so I was happy to see a four part project pop up in my notifications. It gives me something of value to watch. Always a pleasure to stop by the shop. Both physically and through TH-cam. That's exciting news about getting the new lifts. I know you've been wanting to do that for a while now.
I had one very stuck on bearing on my wife's outback. I used a 3 jaw puller and it split the bearing apart with the hub still stuck. I saw your video trick 04:02 on how to hammer the hub from the rear. I have a basic level 18v cordless Ryobi hammer drill. Using your method, I was able to hammer the hub loose from behind, then use the jaw puller to remove it without it splitting apart. Thanks for posting this.
Eric: "The bad news is... I didn't get the pump exploding on camera".
Us: DAMN IT!!!
Hey, I fixed Meema's car this morning. Lady up the street texted me and said the transmission went out in Meema's 2003 Corolla. Went to have a look and found shift cable bushing disintegrated inside the console. A quick trip to the dealer and a few bucks for the rubber bushing and Meema was back on the road. Meema gave me the biggest hug when she found out she didn't need a new transmission!
Watched my first South Main Auto Repair LLC video about 2 years ago. After taking your advice "If I can do it, you can do it" I have jumped into the TH-cam pool. Watching most of your videos over the past two years have gotten me past my nervousness. I still have a long way to go with camera, lighting, and switching the way i work to include recording, but wanted to thank you for all your content on your page. Keep all the great content coming.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I appreciate living in the south more.
2 years ago.. but helpful today when I did my Subaru Legacy, thanks. Glad I'm not in the rust belt and my wheel bearings came out with a tap..... I'm fortunate you work on all the vehicles I own :) (Dakota, Subaru, Ram, Jeep!)
I love it when Eric plays the background music whenever he gets out big nasty!!
Heavy metal for some heavy metal.....
I came back to watch this one again, after falling down the rabbit hole regarding the older style pressed in bearings. These are so much easier, faster, better. Who still uses pressed in bearings, aside from trailers? Even so, lots of old vehicles still on the road.
Eric: PUH-LEEZE! Buy a box of the little foam plugs. Insert in the AM, remove as you turn out the lights, dispose. You'll thank me in 20 years..
watajob agreed. As an aircraft mechanic for 30 years and constant ringing and hearing loss , plugs or throw some ear muffs on. Those hard rivet gun or big nasty noises cause the most damage.
yup... 56 years old. ring ring ring all the time.
Me too. You will not be able to hear your grandchildren some day
A lot of us have those Hunk A Junk Subaru excuse for cars. Appreciate the videos on them.
What a great treat, 4 SMA vids all in one day all back to back. Thanks.
love the video and Mrs O bring a joy to the shop.
Whatever it is, Erik, that you choose to do when you retire.... you have earned it!
OMG there are so many uploads I don't know where to begin! Thanks for making my friday!!!
Enjoyed the series. Always have a great time listening to your running commentary, and of course, the sound effects!
Thank you Dr. O. Have a blessed and safe week.
That was pretty smooth for a Subaru they usually fight me more! Thanks for sharing Eric!
Love watching you work and explaining how to do things.. good job 👍🏼..!!!
Thanks for posting all the related vids together, Eric. I need automotive closure.
WOW! Four great videos from Mr. O today!
Thanks for four videos in one morning, you are doing an awesome job for working in the cold salt encrusted state of New York, from central Texas.
Been watching you're videos for about a year highly informative and entertaining. German motors can be a challenge almost no room to work in so I don't blame you there.
Friday morning.. coffee and watching Eric havin' at it. Nice.
Haven't heard that "Fluid Film bleet" in a while, LOVE IT .... baah !!
Why a bleat? What’s the connection FF and sheep? Don’t get it.
The functional ingredient of Fluid Film is lanolin, an organic extract of sheeps wool coating. ba.a.a.a.a. @@davecc0000
Wonder how many people called in sick this morning to watch all these new SMA videos! LOL!
Grabs a socket "Big nasty already had his way with" LMAO Great video
Every smart ass viewer between Jamestown and Syracuse will be calling you Monday to make an appointment for their VW/Audi. You brought it on yourself Eric :)
Good job Eric as always love the videos 👍
Mrs O always cleaning your messes ..
No man can't do without those brooms 😁
once again one great video i just watched the one where u gave car to struggling lady i wish everyone was like your family you guys are one class act i hope u and your family always have great times god bless u all u deserve it i hope i can b half the mechanic and person u are eric awesome person thank you
Yes the sound effects are back, they make the video that much more entertaining.
Xxloved the Subie series. Didn't know that you reloaded. That's a real art for sure. Good job.
Thank you Eric for teaching us your trade saved alot of money on my own repairs thanks again
That craigslist guy is getting a lift with a brand new pump! Whattadeal! Always entertaining and educational. Thanks, Eric.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Subaru Series Build Project!!
Big Nasty to the rescue ! The heavyweight champ of the tool world !💪
Just started watching and I'm loving it now I know who rain man Ray is talking about when he says Eric o does that too. It's good to see nice hard working honest mechanics still exist.
Always remember viewers if he can do it let him!
thanks Eric...Subaru dealer replaced both rear wheel bearings as part of an overhaul...(brakes/valve body)..growling noise from rear axle...right was bad but recommended both to be replaced)...Bob from NJ
Really great series of videos enjoyed myself thoroughly and by the way great works job well done sir
I had a 2000 A6 2.7T Quattro with tiptronic trans in limp mode and I am broke. Bought the factory service manual for the car and trans. Under automatic trans the car book says "take it to an author service center". 17 hours flat rate to remove the trans. I had it out in two long days. I never had an auto trans apart before. Had it back together in four days and back in in a day and a half. If I can do it you can do it.
12:23 It's nice to hear the ol' soundbytes once again. SMA viewer nostalgia. 🤩🤩🤩
4 Subaru videos for passing 400k subs? Keep up the great content! And congratulations
When the hell is Napa gonna step up and sponsor this awesome mechanic. He has been using their parts forever now.
@@oakmot5477 Depending on the browser you use, you can always install Adblock Plus and then not have to watch any ads to view the videos.
About hybrids I drive one and have to repair it myself since nobody works on them in my area lol. I talked to a customer of my Wally world and they said I need to travel to get worked on so youtube is my friend and I'm learning alot about my 2016 ford fusion hybrid se. I just got to get a special tool set when I work on the high voltage systems
Enjoyed the Subaru series thank you
I watch your channel for at least a couple hours every night and have no mechanical experience at all. Prior to starting to watch your videos about a year ago all I had ever done was oil and filter changes. I have since done almost everything possible to a car including swapping out an engine and transmission all thanks to you. I rebuilt a different one by watching Pete’s Garage who is also great but not nearly as entertaining as you and yours. I sincerely appreciate all the energy you put into your channel. If you don’t have any Wyoming license plates I have several different designs I could send you for your collection. Thanks again.
You hadn't said beans in a good long while, was nice to hear it again!
Great series for Subaru owners, thank you!
I so love this show it is very informative keep up the great work and stay warm
My ears are RINGING and I'm not in the same room, lol... Thanks for the video, I'm paying a buddy to do this job on my 08 now! Cheers!
No hybrids in my area either. And im glad. I would not even pull one in to look. At it. Great video.
Looks like your doing some big things at the shop. Office looks nice man, 🌽gradulations on the alignment machine. Keep up the good work
The good ol never sneeze😂, comes off like butter on a hot knife😁.... Ahhhchoooo!
Great job on this Series. Well done.
Quick Change Chisel Retainer... yet another tool I never knew existed but most definitely need to have!
Awsome french press I think if you work on cars coffee is mandatory love your channel and your shop thanks for the videos
Enjoyed the series. Thanks Eric.
I didn’t see your videos coming into
My feed and I started to get worried but comes to find out TH-cam unsubscribed me... good to be back!:)
Ok, maybe it's just me. The sound of air hammers is music to me, I don't need screaming guitars riffs... Eric, your vids are excellent, commentary is hilarious, don't waste effort on sound effects!
Glad to see big nasty is going to be in a new video.
I enjoy watching your videos
I like this format well done.
!!! I always remove the speed sensor!!!. If the bearing is rusted into the knuckle and it won't come out with the hammer as it often is. I do this. I leave the axle bolted to the splined hub. I remove the e-brake shoes and I slide the e-brake cable out of the tube on the backing plate. I then pry the axle partially out of the differential. I install the slap hammer on the hub. I heat the knuckle around where the bearing seats. I have someone slap the slap hammer while I hit the hub with a hammer. Leaving the axle bolted prevents the hub from coming out of the bearing while slapping with the slap hammer.
Used Mayhew 37316 which adapts to any 1/2in socket, along with some sacrificial impact sockets (did not damage the sockets nor bolts). At 160k and 8yrs, mine both required a torch to get them out of the backing plate. I'm in WI.
I love those hardy gloves they did me well had a few pairs i worked thru
When you got the bearing out with big nasty, it was ok because we don’t have a big nasty at work; just inferior air hammers....but I was like no way you’ll get it out of the backing plate without a fight. I’ve had to take it off and smash it in the vise with a sledge before. Eric O the car whisperer waves his brass hammer and it falls right out. Unreal... teach us the way!
This car is like a PIA relative!! Just won't leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good series! Enjoyed it!
Did this on my 13 Forester before the snow flew. Don’t have a big nasty and ended up taking over an hr to get the bearing out. Thanks to the salt Christie’s here in Ontario Canadia!
thank you made my day a little happier
Great mini-series!
Awesome series
another good one Eric
I also had a freezing cold wheel bearing to do today , at 8am in the damp and murk .a front one on a rusting ford transit .
after 15 minutes of miserable struggling, I also was planning a vision of the future , with beaches, relaxation and no cars .
when its a VW the sun is always shining :-D
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! I enjoyed your video!!
Eric good series. You nailed it retirement is a crap shoot. You can plan all you want with the experts but believe what I say they tell you what you want to hear.i had one so called specialist come tell me a rosey story an never saw her again. Eric you and Mrs O are pretty sharp individuals so trust YOUR instincts but be careful with the ones who say DONT WORRY YOU WILL BE FINE. Do your HOMEWORK. Great videos. ❤️ Artie
Great video Eric. Thanks.
Great timing on the lift. The new owner would've called pissed 4 hours after he installed it! At least it gave you a fireworks display - that's always fun. 😁 Can't wait to see all the new shop hardware you've got coming!😎 Just like Christmas!
Good to know about the speed sensors. I've yet to do a hub bearing on a Subie. I'd have busted one off for sure. I've got a customer with the same year Outback ... or Forester - I can never tell the difference, lol. He's actually coming by tomorrow ... for something I've already forgot! 🤯 Just finished up a starter sprag on a '01 Yamaha V-Star 1100 - shot a vid on that, so I should have that one uploaded by next winter, lol.
Your Big Nasty sequence had me cracking up this time. Makes we want to go out and buy a bigger compressor right freaking now.
I'm certainly glad you fix Subarus.
Love to see the DeWalt impact I have doing mechanic work. Mine only ever gets to run down concrete anchors.
Another amazing video
