Hi Nick ,not bad, i like it, good job👍. Now the swallow will fly😀
Tell me why i had my rear main seal replaced on my eco mustang and i have a leak now that the garage is trying to charge me $450 because the oil pan needs to be resealed. You mechanics can really screw a person over because of a mistake you make and blame the owner of the car so that you guys do not lose money in the process. Some of you guys are really cool and take on the responsibility of your error. I am currently going to take this garage to small claims because Ford even stated that these guys did not do a great job and that they should not be charging me for their mistakes and that a oil pan reseal is not ever a part of a rear main seal job. 5 days without my car sucks
I got a 350z and it’s got silicone all on it. The previous owner told me that there was a small leak but I haven’t seen any oil leak. I got the part and took it to a shop but they told me they have to take the whole engine out to be able to take off the silicone and replace the rear main seal. I wish I could share a picture but is it worth the time and money for it?
Just in case if your watching this and you drive BMW with n63 engine and you getting engine oil on bottom of your transmission and engine
You don’t have issue with rear main seal
You happened to have whole new bag of shit issues
It’s your turbo return line housing 👍🏻

I just did one on a 2011 ls460 do not forget to tighten 90 degrees after 22ftlbs. Stay solid Nick 🔥
Thanks, I hope your right and my infinity qx 80 “rear main seal leak” was mis diagnosed today guess I’ll find out soon
I have the same problem with my Firebird 2001 It's leaking from the rear main seal.
I've seen people drill a small hole in the seal and pull it out with a pick, is there any reason not to do it that way?
I forgot to mention that. You can do that as well 👍

@@LetsDriftMedia would a rear main seal leak while the car is sitting
Question sir..if your car is automatic transmission...and your rear main seal is worn out.what oil will coming out there?is it ATF?or ENGINE OIL?
Another question: IS IT THE SAME ON REAR CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL?
Rear main seal is the rear crank shaft oil seal. So regardless of transmission it would leak engine oil.
... i have seen many videos where the plate is NOT removed cleaned up and resealed, just the rear main seal is replaced ... QUESTION --> should the plate ALWAYS be removed cleaned and resealed ... FYI i have a 1999 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder Sedan and im about to have this work done on my car?
If it has a removable plate then yes. It’s only a few bolts to remove. If your mechanic doesn’t reseal the plate or replace the gasket after being that far into the job I would stop going to that mechanic.
@@LetsDriftMedia ... I was thinking the same thing, but what's interesting is I see many videos on TH-cam where only the seal is popped out and replaced , no plate popped out and gaskets replaced and resealed, I'm sure I can Google it but do you know if there's a way for me to find out if my 1999 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder 4 door sedan has a removable plate?

How many hours would it take for toyota mechanic to replace rear main seal and what is a ball park price. Thanks
Probably around 8 hrs labor if its 2wd. Maybe 13-14 if 4WD. Price depends on shop labor rate.
Should call yourself nick senpai. Teaching me more and more. 👍🏾

Pretty sure mine is shot in my 6th gen (1998) Honda Accord. I just had the third timing belt put on when I had the water pump replaced and now this. 💔 To be fair, it does have 293,000 miles on it now, lol.
So you normally use a wire wheel to remove silicone I noticed? Does it ever damage the surface? I typically use a straight razor
I do cause its faster. On things like cast iron you don't really have to worry but you can damage aluminum alot easier with a wire wheel.
So it takes more that a day to fix it because you have to wait to the seal to dry?
Yes so tell them a day or two
Dope content to watch when the shops slow 👌 how are you liking the miliwakee? I've been wanting to get one for the past few months.
thanks man, and i love that little die grinder works as good as my air grinder, I need to get me one i borrowed this one used in the video lol
So if you have oil coming from between the engine and the transmission bell housing can you take the oil pan off and redo the rtv gasket then seal it up then clean everything then come back to see if it is still leaking then if it is can you conclude that the problem is the rear main seal? Also I have a 2013 Ford Focus SE, would you have to take off the oil pan as well to replace the rear main seal or can you simply take it off then reinstall a new seal with the oil pan still on the engine? Thanks for reading if you do!

When?
Hey drift can't you just apply a light coat of silicone on the gasket and just apply both?
Yes you can.
Wait do you get to work on your car when everyone leaves?
When your done working yes
Toyota service center is quoting 2 grand for this. Is it that hard?
Sounds about right. Depending on the vehicle, keep in mind labor rate is typically 150$ an hr and up at the dealer, plus parts/fluids. Its not hard if you know what you are doing, but if you are not experienced then a job like that would be considered very hard and alot of work.
Yo yo yo..Nick nickai here
Hey im doing a 99 civic ex d16y8. For the rear main seal housing, do i need to use a gasket, gasket plus gasket maker, or just gasket maker?
If it comes with a paper gasket you don’t need to use any gasket maker.
@@LetsDriftMedia is the paper gasket good enough? I understand some people just use gasket maker or hondabond instead of the paper. Just want to be sure sure cause one time shot.
@@michaelMMs ive never had a problem with paper gaskets and if you are questioning the gasket doesnt hurt to apply a thin layer of silicone gasket on both sides for extra assurance. I have dont that before when I wasnt sure.
@@LetsDriftMedia thanks for the replies. The kit i have didnt even have the right gasket with it. So i just gasket maker it.
Toyota fipg works really well
Yea I did use fipg and was gunna say that but non Toyota people wont understand the term.
Yoooo! Yooo! Yoo!
WHATTUP!
Me after the seal came off: "I hope he cleans the residual silicone."
Me when an air powered wire wheel *didnt* come out: "Whaaaaa? He usin' the Milwaukee? I needs this!!"
For reals tho, what'd you use, and where can I buy?
Yea thing is great. Its actually alex tool its the milwaukee right angle die grinder 2" 55mm check home depot they have alot of good sales
@@LetsDriftMedia Just picked up the 1/4" Fuel Surge, and a Gen-3 3/8" Impact Milwaukee guns, both from the Holmes Depot, holmes 🤘
Loving your vids, I'm actually moving to a Toyota dealership in about 2 weeks!
