Totally agree, TV, in general, is a joke. TH-cam has been my go-to for great content for a few years now. I was so happy to see Edd make his comeback here.
Edd, as a person involved in lighting for television and similar industries for many years, I am able to say with some authority that the lighting for your videos is excellent. None of the scenic elements, in your case shop equipment and cars and parts and so on, are blending into any other. It’s quite refreshing to see. What stimulated me to write is the scene where you are disassembling the steering ram. Your media blast box is behind you and lit from inside, making it clear that it is, indeed, a media blast box! Brilliant! So, kudos to whomever sets you up, you make good looking videos.
I'm glad that I'm not the only YT viewier who notices production values / or lack of. There's nothing more certain that 'dyed in the wool' camera and lighting people notice 'issues' that others do not. Nowadays - everyone with a mobile phone seems to think they can make a video. The term 'broadcast quality' is no longer respected. In the old days anything below a defined standard would not make it to 'air'. In exceptional circumstances an 'amateur clip' (eg. from VHS) could be transmitted in news reports but they were always clearly captioned as 'amateur footage'.
Brilliant to see Paul back in the workshop. Now thats a duo I can get behind. A question for Paul: What would be your dream car to work on and what has been your favourite to work on? A question for Edd: Where do you buy your parts when they need replacing? Do you stick to manufactorer spares or are you comfortable buying elsewhere? Pros and cons of this?
Yes, the episodes fly by way too fast. It's wonderful how TH-cam has democratized video entertainment. I am a firm believer in supporting those that support your kind of entertainment. Milwaukee battery tools are now my go-to thanks to them supporting Edd. I also picked up a set of Ringers from Amazon.
You know what I've just realised... in all the series of Wheeler Dealers, even when they're in the USA and have "made it" as a TV show ... at no time did Edd have as good a working space as he now has in his own TH-cam channel. It just shows you what the focus was before... and that now we're focusing on what's important. I'm loving every one of these episodes. More detail, more knowledge, more passion (and more Paul!!!!) :)
Now I'd never doubt your skills as a mechanic, but there's no way you got that circlip back in on the first try with a pair of picks 😁 Even with proper circlip pliers, they have to slip out of the clip at least 3 times and you have to stab yourself in the finger with the pliers themselves once. I might be willing to believe if you hadn't shot the circlip all the way across the shop once, but everything else has to be editing shenanigans😉
As the owner of a 20 year old Japanese car where every ball joint nut is seized solid with rust, watching Edd undo those steering rack nuts with a ball joint tool, a ratchet spanner and sod all resistance is most frustrating 😁
When everything is leaking like it kind of keeps everything free of corrosion. But plenty of classic mustangs are not in that good shape and are a real headache to take things apart on. the rear leaf springs are notorious for not wanting to come out for example and usually need to be cut out with a sawzall. First time I did my front suspension ball joints was really hard.
I've dealt with rust on cars since the 60's and the best solution I've found is heat. Favorite tool in my workshop is my "smoke wrench," if the heating tip isn't enough, the cutting tip will be. Old sayin is "it can't be tight if it's liquid."
It looks like this Mustang hasn't spent any time on salty roads and all that leaking oil surely helped. In countries without salt, they nearly all look like this. My 2000 model Corolla looks brand new underneath, just a bit dirty. It's swings and roundabouts really.
Edd, I'm so glad that Paul and you are back in business together! Side note: a few days ago I've found that Mustang's ad where a woman who looks like a secretary is looking for an affordable car in a GM dealership. Then, 2 or 3 years later Lt. Frank Bullitt is driving a green 1968 across San Francisco's streets.
I love how subtle you have Americanly themed this episode, it hasn't gone un noticed, Mad Anthony's Café T-Shirt, this is Michael Anthony's café (the Bassist from Van Halen) The slide steel guitar music, and of course the Mustang itself. Thoroughly enjoyed this Sir!
The video has been made super short, I have not lost detail, although it seems unusual to you, I tell you that I have no idea about mechanics, but my curiosity and my taste for cars is great. Greetings from Jaén (Andalucía), from a follower.
Ford made these power steering units in cars for ages. I had one in my 1968 Falcon that I rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt and then finally after not being able to ever stop it from leaking I ripped the whole assembly out and went to manual steering. I was extremely happy to remove the whole dreadful system. Great video.
Sympa de voir Paul au garage, excellent duo en perspective.. j'adore toujours autant la chaîne.. encore pleins d'autres.. bien le bonjour d'un français
What a neat trick with the snipe nose pliers and hammer to remove the split pins. I have always either got a pair of pliers over the eye and pulled and twisted, or a pair of side cutters and levered them out, sometimes working against a screwdriver. Ed’s method looks easier and quicker.
Hi Ed on the ram rebuild kit why does it seem to come with a circlip that's an external type not internal like it was used. You can see why as at bumps where the circlip holes are show that it's ideally to be used externally and why its hard to get your pliers on as the holes are where they are not supposed to be. Might be worth going over it in your tea and biscuit section about the differences for those that are not aware. Paul great to see you back keep it up 👌
Awesome that Paul is back working with you! I’ve watched you on TV here in the States since Wheeler Dealers first aired and first let me tell you what an inspiration you have have been to me furthering my confidence in tackling projects! “Having a go at it” as you say! Whenever Paul was mentioned I always wondered “Who is this wizard Paul?!? And why isn’t he on the show?!?” I’m really digging Workshop Diaries and it’s good to actually meet Paul! Side note: I’ve watched all the other shows he’s been part of as well!
Great to see Paul’s 🖐 🤚 back at work 😂 The subscribers have shot through the roof Edd!! Well done good sir! It goes to show your fan base is still loyal after the years of absence!! Class!!!
My Dad worked at the company that used to make all the special tools. The ball joint splitter was easily my favorite, and I bought one. All the rest of the tools I could just borrow, make all the difference working on the cars.
Thank god you have your you tube channel Edd me auld China as I won’t be watching the new series of what’s that show again any glad you were true to yourself and the fans and stuck to what you were doing on the show best bit of wheeler dealers was yourself explaining what you were doing in Lehman’s terms and I just don’t think the new guy could ever replace you not in my eyes anyway your a legend mate
One of the downsides to hydraulic power steering is that most older systems don't have any sort of filtration in them. If any dirt gets in to the fluid, it ends up going around and around, adding wear the whole way. On the classics I have owned and helped with, I add a Magnefine filter in the return line. Even a few years and tens of thousands of miles after changing it, the Redline PSF I use stays pink and clear. I suggest adding the filter as an extra layer of protection for these classic parts, particularly as they get tougher to locate in good condition.
It's been a while since I've seen ANYBODY working on the power steering system in a car. This is interesting. I'm looking forward to Part II. When I commented on seeing more of Paul, in your videos, I was hoping for a little more than this,...... like where are the biscuits to go with that coffee, Paul? hahahaha!
And this is why I cancelled my TV licence. Nothing but rubbish on there now. Either working or watching videos on here. Always looking forward to new episodes.
The Mustang brings back many memories, I took my California drivers license test in my Mom's brand new 1966 Mustang 289, 4 speed in 1966. What a fun car to drive around. And back in the day if we would of had our wits about us, we would have re sealed the power steering ram and control valves, but we just bought new. Of course they didn't cost 850 pounds then. Thanks Edd for another great video.
Close up camera work on this is a work of art. And could only be done on this show...Excellent. I am wondering, why has none of the big movers and shakers taken you on? I mean you have the history of excellence in this field.
Ah, the god old days when there were actually grease zirks on the front end suspension joints. I had a 1990 D250 Dodge pickup with 210,000 miles. Greased the front end every 3,000 miles, never had to replace any front end suspension parts and never had to do a front end alignment because the tires never wore unevenly.
I could have predicted that was going to be an issue. So many of them leak. I haven't put one on my car, yet, for that exact reason. Not fun the steer in parking lots, but fine once you are moving along.
Green gloves, not "signature" orange?? Blasphemy!! Love Paul is back. Also interesting he is helping Will and Gus (my next favorite show, over here in the States)!
Hey Ed, something that I do when sliding new seals passed a thread is to cover the threads and the sharp edges where the outer of the ram shaft is with electrical tape during reassembley so this reduces the chance of the new seals getting damaged. Good video as always. Thanks

@@Ampex196 actually you can even made (and was done) movies with a phone, but still the light & sound needs to be well looked after
Paul's part in this episode was epic, such a great contribution to the video and such a critical role. Well done Paul! (Edd, you were "OK") 😉
Man, I thought the camera was going to pan round and he'd be playing us out on the Hammond organ as well as holding the camera.
Didn't go un-noticed how much effort went into filming in tight spaces there. Your efforts are appreciated!
Laughing my butt off at the end when Paul "lends a hand or two" Great job on rebuilding the ram.
So glad to see Paul and Edd back together
Brilliant to see Paul back in the workshop. Now thats a duo I can get behind.
A question for Paul: What would be your dream car to work on and what has been your favourite to work on?
A question for Edd: Where do you buy your parts when they need replacing? Do you stick to manufactorer spares or are you comfortable buying elsewhere? Pros and cons of this?
Silent vids ahead..🤣🤣
It nice to see Paul jumping in there to help. Hi Paul🤗
Yes, I liked seeing Paul lend a a hand or two! Nice job, Hi Paul!
Wow that was 27 minutes that just flew by. Really enjoyed this video. So chill and relaxing - and what a gorgeous car ♥♥

@@rickh6963 Left all my old Bosch cordless drills behind when my son gave me a Milwaukee cordless drill!
The work on the sound is amazing. There are lot musical videos that doesnt reach this level of quality ^^. What a great crew.
I think TH-cam changed their sound as well, many new video's sound much crisper than usual. Ed's are on another level though.
26:56 Ohhhh so thats how Edd can work on so many projects at once, wondered how one could be so productive.
Great seeing Legend Paul back part time…needs to be full time!
I'd definitely second this. Great to see Edd and Paul working together on a project.
Worth the time watching from beginning to end, like with M539 Restorations
I'm very happy to know that your videos now have PT-BR subtitles because your TV show is still successful today. now I will watch here every day.
No wonder old yank tanks don’t steer so well with all those joints !! Another great video Ed 👍
"That...is a job for another day" is quickly becoming my least favorite phrase.
I don’t know, I use it all the time now 😀
Hear…Hear!!
There’s no day like the present.
@Donald Hollums : Where,WHERE ???
@@garyparker2969 🤣
4:45 to 5:32... These little sequences are gold.
Edd's grown extra hands......multi tasking guru.
I love that the frame flash comments became a thing :) Loved the end. Good thing you had some help!
Damn you for making this look easy! Always the sign of a great teacher.

S.L.C.S. or Self Lubricating Chassis System is pretty common on old American cars.

I live in the rust belt, USA. I agree heat is the way to go when removing rusty bits
Helping hand appears - Love that! 😁
It wouldn't be a Friday without a trip to the workshop. Always perfectly timed with closing down the work laptop. Happy days!
It's Friday, it's Edd, aaaaaand relax 😀
Love the seasick Steve style music, the camera work and the legendary edd China therapeutic commentary.

That 3 and 4 handed filming at the end was great , 3rd hand suddenly appearing.
Nice to see Paul's hands back to help at the end Keep Safe you two.
Yeah! Great episode Edd! The addition of Paul was the spice that turned this episode from perfect to epic! Keep him coming!!
Great Job Edd!!! We love the way you explain what and why you are doing these repairs and the intricate way it all comes apart and goes back together.
The cheeky little reappearances of Paul should absolutely continue with occasional featured episodes. I love all of it.
Just a tip, spin the castle nut round when using the ball joint splitter to avoid the top of the nut splaying under compression
I love how subtle you have Americanly themed this episode, it hasn't gone un noticed, Mad Anthony's Café T-Shirt, this is Michael Anthony's café (the Bassist from Van Halen) The slide steel guitar music, and of course the Mustang itself. Thoroughly enjoyed this Sir!
Watching Edd fixing "stuff" is a great way to start the day 😍
Edd China you rock !
Ed is the best of the best in many ways. Foremost in the way he is a pleasure to watch work. Thanks!

Glad to see you and Paul on you’re own channel miles better than Brewer taking all the credit for you’re hard work , keep them coming Edd 👍🙂
If anyone made a dirty audio edit, this would be the episode. I'm glad the ram was well lubricated and solid.
nice to see Paul, it's a team that make me to smile 😉
What a neat trick with the snipe nose pliers and hammer to remove the split pins. I have always either got a pair of pliers over the eye and pulled and twisted, or a pair of side cutters and levered them out, sometimes working against a screwdriver. Ed’s method looks easier and quicker.
WD should have been 3 hours long, 'Mike' 10 minutes max ! Wonderful talent Ed !
Great video as always Edd, but at 23:00 it really looks like the lip on that second rubber seal is not seated properly...
I noticed as well. I'm thinking it will likely correct itself when the ram slides inward?
He must have assembled the whole thing at least twice, to get the wide shot and the close-ups. Hopefully the wide shot was the final assembly 😃

Remember riding in the backseat in downtown Detroit, in uncles brand new 1964 mustang convertible!!!! What a great little car
Super Lube! That's good stuff. Useful for so many things.
Before watching your videos I already like them as I know this is good content
Love the format of the videos Ed. BRILLIANT HE IS! Thanks for the quality.
Man, Mr. China, I had to bypass an encyclopedia Britannica just to comment @@@ 25:09 on how your shirt is now a beautiful 2K tie-die work of art!!

👍 right on Edd! See u next week and Paul !!!
Thanks Edd to continue, I support you!
Enjoying more and more these videos! Cheers from Argentina!
I love how the bit you had made such a point of clamping up suddenly disappeared as the 2nd seal popped out. Very dramatic! 🤣😂

Lee Iacocca must've really loved ball joints.
I guess the advantage of having a power steering leak is that your fluid isn't trash...
Great Job Edd and Paul. Nice to hear another great British TH-cam car channel willing to "get the funk out" Cheers from Oz

Hello edd,
Geez there’s lots of seals there huh!!..
Love your show since wheeler dealers buddy
And this is why I cancelled my TV licence. Nothing but rubbish on there now. Either working or watching videos on here. Always looking forward to new episodes.
i dare not miss a single episode. love you Mr, China keep up the great work
Bang up job as usual Edd! Easy on those chemicals though, it appears you grew two extra arms for that idler arm..😏
Oh my goodness I hope Paul didn’t get to tired doing all that work, great video guys.😁😁👍👍
The Mustang brings back many memories, I took my California drivers license test in my Mom's brand new 1966 Mustang 289, 4 speed in 1966. What a fun car to drive around.

Thanks Edd for another great video.
Really liked the bonus material after the sign off.
He has the patience of a saint
That sweet sound of cavitation.
Considering the age of the car, the power steering rack is surprisingly clean under all that vintage grime.
Good to see Paul's hands at the end 👍
Good to see Paul make a cameo appearance.
Close up camera work on this is a work of art. And could only be done on this show...Excellent. I am wondering, why has none of the big movers and shakers taken you on? I mean you have the history of excellence in this field.
Credit to your camera operator - great close up views.
Ah, the god old days when there were actually grease zirks on the front end suspension joints.
I had a 1990 D250 Dodge pickup with 210,000 miles. Greased the front end every 3,000 miles, never had to replace any front end suspension parts and never had to do a front end alignment because the tires never wore unevenly.
Proper maintenance is cheaper than repairs and replacements.
I could have predicted that was going to be an issue. So many of them leak. I haven't put one on my car, yet, for that exact reason. Not fun the steer in parking lots, but fine once you are moving along.
Green gloves, not "signature" orange?? Blasphemy!! Love Paul is back. Also interesting he is helping Will and Gus (my next favorite show, over here in the States)!
I’m not a Mustang lover but but it’s an engine and tinkering is involved. Wonderful ❤️ and it’s moist 😂
Hey Ed, something that I do when sliding new seals passed a thread is to cover the threads and the sharp edges where the outer of the ram shaft is with electrical tape during reassembley so this reduces the chance of the new seals getting damaged. Good video as always. Thanks
Bless you for this brilliant masterclass on power steering & suspension work
Speaking of reconditioning, you need to recondition that concrete floor. What is that, an old Roman bath floor? :)
Cow shed.
I see the seal @23:02 is not seated around the shaft correctly, may due th using 2 pieces of bar rather than a close fitting shaft tube.
Top work Edd and team. I like the second set of hands at the end to help install the nut .
4:15 Great taste in music too Edd
