Where is the best shop to buy top qual common sense 🙁
You have such a good attitude. If every mechanic had your attitude and willingness to teach what they know to new mechanics and techs we wouldnt have a shortage of them because people would feel welcome in our industry.
You absolute legend! I was working on my '05 Scion tc for many hours trying to get the driver side axle out. It has the same recessed axle. It popped out on the first strike using the vise grips and slide hammer. I was so happy!
This is some seriously good advice. I tried this on a 2007 Volvo S40 T5....Volvo sells a "special tool" to fit in the tiny recessed space behind the axle, but even those using the special tool is still difficult to get the shaft out.
So instead of buying the Volvo special tool, invest in the slide hammer with vice grip attachment (as it has multi-uses) and it pulled the shaft in one single hit.
Thanks Scotty.
for info, scotty is using the 'sunex 3911 slidehammer puller set'
If in doubt i always go to your channel. You're the man with the plan. Thank you.
That's just bloody brilliant, so simple and clever. I've been thinkin' of getting a slide hammer puller thing because of minor dent repair, I'm doing a paint and body course. Good stuff, thanks again Scotty.
Kilmer is the man.
This worked! Thanks Scotty! You are the man!
You made a real mechanic out of me Scotty 💪💪💪
I've used one of these before. I was working on a 2002ish Chevy Impala that needed a new front wheel bearing. Actually belonged to my shop teacher's wife. The old bearing was practically welded to the knuckle by mother nature and my teacher instructed me to use one of these on it. Well the version we have is a bit bigger and heavier duty than yours and ended up tearing the bearing apart. The rest of the bearing had to be punched out.
In a slightly humorous twist, the cheap part my teacher bought off the internet for this car turned out to be a wee bit too small for the axle. So we grabbed the half inch impact and made it fit, with the help of a very generous coating of anti-seize. I hope the next time that bearing needs to be replaced I won't be the one who gets the assignment.
Utter brilliance in It's simplicity!
Wow, all I can say is Ingenious! Give the guy that came up with that tool a huge pat on the back and maybe a cigar too lol.
This video was exactly what i needed!
very nice bit of kit sure beats trying to get pry bars in there
Fantastic information. That drive shaft cup also drives me nuts, slows a clutch job down, i need to buy this. Afterwards i find it easier to tap with cup in the gearbox with an extension bar and hammer and connect the drive shaft after, ive not had much luck pushing the whole unit in.
Those tie rod/ball joint forks work good to if you can get them between the joint and transmission. And a prybar and hammer also.
Thanx Scotty....but could have used this tip a few weeks ago...oh well now I know for next time....Stay warm on your travels....
I was able to remove both CV shafts inside my Mercedes C300. You save me $ 3,000. The Mercedes dealer couldn't believe I fixed it myself.
Should do a video on sledge hammer one too
First time I have seen one , thanks Scotty .
I recently changed both cv axels om my camry 2.2 98. The left side was stuck. I used a cable and a sledge hammer. I tied the cable around the back of the axel where it goes in to the diff housing and the othe end to the hammer. Then used a golf putting action with the hammer and out it popped. Only cost 15 bucks for the cable.
I wasted almost 2 hours with a pry bar. Bought a slidehammer, out in seconds!
Slide hammer. Great tool! Thank you.
i thought it said sledge hammer, i got happy because i thought i finally used a pro auto technique. =)
I have the same problem. No space to use a pry bar. I tried everything. I will try that tool now
COOL !
Thanks for telling us about that new tool.
Smart ideal scotty thanks
Scotty, i hope u will upload the video explaining how to disapart wheel bearing and cv joint soon. Cuz my hyundai ef sonata has some problem on cv joint, but it is not easy to disapart wheel bearing from the cv joint.
very handy tool, specially for pulling hydrauliced diesel injectors out
Awesome tool, might need one someday.
This just proves you can never have enough tools.
Very useful thing.
great trick.. did they design it that way or did it just happen?
That's a pretty damn cool trick!
good tip Scotty useful advice as usual.
My 2004 Toyota Corolla drivers side inner cv axle I used a Tie Rod Puller fork and Hammer would just barely fit in and I banged it loose from the transmission
Great Idea...
Love your channel - you are a genius.
How do you remove a stuck outer CV joint from the axle? I've used a hammer, then a tie rod fork with a clamp on the axle to pry the joint off. Neither made it budge. What's the trick for outer joints that are stuck?
I have also had success with bolting a chain around the axle nice and tight so it wont slip, and attaching the other end of the chain to a large crow bar or hammer and swinging outward. I actually made a video showing me doing this on my channel. Works GREAT!
Nice! Now, how about some uses for sledge hammers?
Wow that like inventing sliced bread so easy peezy
Thank you for the great work

Nothing like 6-8 feet of snow!!!
WHAT!!! Yoooo that hammer will be the answer to aall of my prayers! 😂
i need me one them those are nice i never knew they made suck thing that went on the end of vise grips could use one them many many time were did you get yours
Scotty, My 1988 porsche 944 will not start. I think it could be the fuel pump because when I took it off the trailer it started and it drove off, but on the way into my garage it died and wouldn't start. Is this the only thing it could be or is there more. I tried pressure testing but the port on the tester was too small for my shrader valve. It would only stay on the end and not spin all the way down, but even with the tester only on the end of the valve I read 0 pressure. Thanks and keep those vids coming they are really helpful!
pray it's just a bad fuel pump, you could remove the valve on the port, and put on a rubber fuel line piece to hook up to a pressure tests, that's a cheap option.
I will try that. Are DME's expensive to fix or would I be better off finding a replacement. I heard that is kind of common on this car. I hope thats not the problem though.
I have an axle that is definitely in the process of failing, but its stuck like excalibur. I might have to go this route, but I'm scared if I cut it open and do this and its STILL stuck that I'll really be screwed at that point.
How do you have enough room in your garage for all this cool tools
I do have a packed garage, some say pack rat garage, but that's how it goes
Brilliant! Thanks for that!

That is slicker than snot
I would use two vises..."L" pattern....and a brass hammer to beat that CV out. Agreed a slide hammer is neato
Hey scotty, my moms 05 Honda Odyssey Touring has been cranking a lot slower than usual. We had the battery replaced last July so im probably guessing its either the starter or the alternator. If you know whats probably wrong ( i know you do) thanks
Check for corrosion on the starter wires.
Peter Kapica yes, and if you find no corrosion, replace the starter
Make sure its a quality brand starter.
What happens if the whole transmission shaft slides out with the half shaft
That's a better than average slide hammer.
Hi can you remove an axle hub with this
I got a pair of 10in vice grips & they wouldnt fit the slide hammer it was just a lil too small
Buffalo . . . Did you visit the Anchor Bar for some great Buffalo Wings and beer?
na, I had viola's subs and buzzy's pizza.
Video on replacing rear brakes, rear rotors, rear wheel bearing, rear seal on 99-04 mustang pleaseeee. 🎅
Scotty I have a question. I have a 2010 Chevy Cobalt. The metal flap to the entrance of the gas tank has disappeared I looked around on the internet and most people have said that they have fallen into the tank. I also read that it can get jammed in the check valve and give you a check engine light and cruddy gas millage My question is, how can I get the metal flap out of the tank. and 2 can I buy a new flap or do I have to get a whole new tube? and 3 what causes the flaps to fall in?
they fall in cause they are made cheaply, typical GM construction. Me, i'd just leave it alone, but change the whole tube if you want it fixed.
Scotty Kilmer I have read of people having it get stuck and having troubles filling up there tank because of it. is that a possibility or will it cause no problems? and another question is why do i get cruddy gas millage when that fell in?
I assume its too big to pass into the fuel pump right? If your car has easy access to the fuel pump from under the back seat that might be an option. Or if that flap is magnetic-metal maybe a snake magnet down the filler tube? If the flap failed before it will fail again, try think of another option if you want to protect the fuel filler tube opening. Stay gold.
Hail Scotty greetings from warm sunny Trinidad, 2 questions, how much and where did you buy this amazing set?
google the part number, i got it online for 70 bucks or so.
Where do I get this Scotty?
Your my Hero!!!

I feel my brakes pull on the left rear tire when braking hard. Any idea what this is?
try bleeding all the brake lines.
Thnak you very much! Scotty. One question the vise grip adapter it's sold separate?
no, it's part of the kit.
Great video Mr Scotty! Were can I find that slidehammer set?
just google the part number and name that's in the video, that's how I got mine for about 70 bucks
show us a video on how to clean up a dump like the place you are at
Bless this mess. I know where everything is.
I swear when I first read that title, I thought it said "sledgehammer".
...Well, okay if you say so lol
Scotty this might sound random, but recently I had to get a jump from someones car due to low battery. They told they didn't want to because it causes strain on their alternator. Is this true?
Yes
No.alternator is the one that charges the car battery. As long as your battery is charged, its just sharing enough juice to jumpstart a weak battery.
Today's alternators have minimum spec amperage diodes and circuitry... basically the car must be running...fast idle preferable when the jumper cables attached...if the voltage falls below ~11.8 volts...when starting the other car....yes, you risk blowing out the regulator (diodes-filters circuits) but it's rare if you do it right, The wrong way and VERY Common way people do it...is they attach jumper cables first without the motor running...jumping battery to battery...and then trying to start the dead car...you'll most definitely blow the regulator. Too late, if you didn't have the running car running first before cranking the dead car.
Used a slightly different version of this when I would fix Surgery tables...
Hello Scotty, love your videos! I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla 1.8L that makes a loud squeaking noise when I turn the wheel when its cold outside and when the engine is cold. Do you know what this could be? Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!!
replace the fan belt that drives the pump, pray it;s just that and not a wearing out pump.
Check the steering shaft right above the brake pedal where it goes into the firewall. There is a boot there that has "silicone" lube in it and sometimes it dries out. It sounds like when you rub a balloon or basketball shoes squeaking on the court. If you get the noise when turning the wheel when car is off check that for sure. My 2001 Camry had that noise and I fixed it by turning the wheel while looking at the steering shaft- then i sprayed silicone lube in the rubber boot where it met the shaft. Stay gold.
01 ford escort zx2 2 door 2 liter DOHC, hey scotty i am almost certain oil is leaking from my oil pan gasket area, but i am not sure whether to replace it ( exhaust pipe on the way). is there something u could recommend to seal that from the outside or maybe some chemical for that. thnx.
nothing fixes an oil pan leaking gasket, but oil can leak from above. Try a bottle of AT 205 reseal, amazon sells it, it can stop oil seal leaks
Hey Scotty I have a 86 toyota pickup been sitting up for like 2 years now and I tried starting it up after I changed the battery and the starter have I get a click when I turn the key ! Any ideas ! If it could be a kill switch or something ?
possibly the engine is seized. turn the bolt on the crank with a socket if its free. if not, you got a bad starter
Genius!!!
Hey Scotty, I have a hobda accord that had badly clicking cv axles when i bought it 8 years ago, and now 8 years and 65000 miles later they click worse, what is the worst thing that can happen from continuing to drive the car with worn axles?
worse thing that can happen is they break off doing 65 and you lose control of the car.
Scotty my 2010 Rolls Royce phantom doesn't start as smooth as it use to any tips I hate taking it to the Rolls Royce dealer because there gonna want to change everything. Its not a big deal but any tips?
try my video "how to clean fuel injectors on your car" and of course check for clogged air filter or worn spark plugs
Hello Scotty i have a 2012 Kia Soul that had really slow acceleration, i replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the fuel injectors and the throttle, it runs better but i feel that is still quite slow when accelerating from a dead stop, what could it be ? by the way it has an automatic transition on it (fluid color still red).
weak maf sensors often do that, have it tested by a mechanic. If it's ok, try my video "how to clean fuel injectors on your car"
If my speedometer is off what may be all the causes to that?
wrong size tires, or a broken speed sensor, OR a broken speedo head in the dash. Good luck
Word of caution using the slide hammer, be careful on how your hand is griping the slide it will smash some meat off your hand. You will only do that once though, just want to save someone the pain.
hey scottie how would you remove a stuck brake rotor? are there any tools for that? thanks
really, they just rust and stick on the hub. Normally hitting them on the backside with a big hammer gets em off, sometimes heat is needed too
shylildude If it has threaded holes in the front, screw some bolts through them until they press into the knuckle. Tighten evenly, a little on each back and forth, and it will break loose.
Hey Scotty,
I am looking to buy my first car, a used 2005-14 Ford Mustang as a daily driver, any advice?
Thanks so much!
yea, make sure it's not all used up, guys tend to rag pony cars. Be sure to pay a guy like me to check it out BEFORE buying it
Hey Scotty I'm working on a 1995 ford kent engine industria 1.1L im having a difficult time finding parts piston rings, Bering's ,seals etc what car or other engine's are compatible
no idea, try googling it
What brand slide hammer is that you are using?
sunex, jst google it
Was this an older Corolla? I have a 2003 Corolla and I've tried the same exact thing you did but it would not budge! I'm out of options!
My 07 Corolla CV axle is also stuck, if I can't get it out by the end of this week I'm going to have to sell/ scrap the car...
@@mashedpotatoes5323 I've had 2 mobile mechanics come and they couldn't get it out! Option is to drop the engine and transmission! Unbelievable for a stupid CV joint!
@@thomasgranville3604 I'm in the same boat, I can't keep spending money on something that I can't get done and I'm not about to take the transmission out. I love this car so much but I think I'm going to have to sell it. 257k and she was going strong. I think my last option is to rebuild the remaining part of the cv axle but I'm not sure if I can do that.
Well I got rid of her today, the person I sold it to is going to fix it where it's at and drive it home apparently so I'm pretty much emotionally destroyed.
@@mashedpotatoes5323 wow that sucks.
Hey Scotty what's your opinion on royal purple synthetic oil? Should I just try it out on my 2010 dodge charger?
I started using Royal Purple about a year ago in my Mazda Miata that I autocross. It is one of the top synthetic oils out there but is sometimes hard to find in stores.
I buy Royal Purple from Jegs online, it is cheaper and they have all the different viscosities that the stores don't have. I get 2 mpg better since I've started using it. My Jeep has 385,000 miles on it, it's the only oil I will ever use.
ro3otbass
it is excellant oil, if you can handle the high price
Rip
I took my truck to the Chevy dealership about my speedometer and they said they can't find what's wrong with it and they think it's because of the lift on it and they need to put all factory parts back on the truck the the speedometer
what do u think on subaru legacy 4wd mr kilmer r they last long like toyota?
not great cars, ok cars, never last as long as toyotas, they are known for weak head gaskets and weak automatic transmissions
Scotty Kilmer
Ditto on the subaru. Scotty is giving you good advise!! Just replaced the auto trans on my son's 2004 legacy. Now I'm hoping the head gasket does not go :(( I got over 230,000 trouble-free miles form my 2002 Toyota Tundra SR5.
Scotty! What's the status of your Celica?
runs like a top, 237 thousand miles,might outlast me
every time i pass by this video, i swear it says "sledgehammer"
Looks like a tool that dentist would use
Tried it. And still stuck.
Are you kidding me? You gotta use a lot more musle that that to get that thing out. It took me forever.
Then installing it you need muscle just to seat it back in. I used a piece of wood and my brother used a dang sledge hammer while I was holding it hahaha.
Buffalo! Love my city.
I seen the snow we got 5 feet of snow !!!
I had a 1996 Kia sephia that I changed the axles in years ago ,I yanked and tugged and pried and beat and called it everything in the book , I thought shizzit I will just go to autozone and get a slide hammer this will get that axle end out of the tranny , I hooked it up yanked and tugged until I about pulled the car off the jacks and it kept putting it on and yanking and tugging ,I drilled a hole in the side of that axle piece and took a piece of heavy duty chain and I stuck a master lock through the hole and connected the chain with the lock yanked and tugged and broke the lock ,, I was going through the ceiling now pizzised off I said hell with it and went to the junk yard and pulled a transmission with a good axle connected still in the tranny ,, I put that tyranny and axle into my car and I'll be dammed I got a bad tranny and it slipped big time ( automatic tranny ) I put some stuff in that was supposed to make it stop slipping and it slipped twice as bad had a 30 day return on the tranny ,drove it slipping for a month then yanked it and got another tranny ,, got lucky on the second tranny ha ha. ,what a nightmare
lol I know this comment is old but wow that is a crazy amount of effort to go towards an old Kia.
That's pretty cleaver.
hey scotty I have a 1988 jeep wrangler yj 2.5 and im not getting any power out of it, it'll get up to 45 mph pretty good anything pass that is a struggle, any suggestions on what the problem could be ?
Sombody carify something for me, dose Scotty live in texas or michigan
Texas, I believe.
Jared Wise
houston, Texas, ford sends cars from michigan, hence the mich tags.
Scotty Kilmer I live in Michigan! November has been worse than December this year. Hope this keeps up.
