1. Dude! Way too many ads!

2. I believe the correct expression from human resources is: "If the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail."

3. Am I the only mechanic/ shop owner that is cringing over how he is doing this? Not torquing the ring gear,improper preload on carrier bearings,pinion shim wrong location, no check back lash with indicator, did not scrub out axel tubes (you know there is metal in there). It is also much easier to install bearing cups with a bearing installer set, I would think just about every mechanic has or should have a set. Look I don’t have anything against this guy, I check in on him every once in awhile , I am glade he is doing well. However some of the things he does makes me roll my eyes.

4. Taking a ride on the top bolt of that second caliper had my brain spinning in my skull 🤣 I need a Dramamine

5. 25:04 lithium batteries can and will stop at the deleted threshold so that the recharge can happen. If a battery was allowed to be ran down 100%. There would be no way to analyze the battery condition for recharge rather than over heat and a fire!

6. 7:34 flat stock steel 1/2, lay over race on drive it with air hammer. Might have frozen the race first

7. Sorry dude!! FAIL from start to finish . Twenty years as an ungloved master tech this was painful to watch! Job only pays six hours too lol

8. Good job 2all Bsafe 🥶 🐲

9. Use temperature as your friend. Metal shrinks and grows just enough to install races and bearings.

10. Hey, buddy first thing II love your show. Hey, I'm a machinist trying to be on mechanic. I changed a lot of spindle bearings and and clutch work and gear work. And I try to be a mechanic. I have trouble. It takes a special breed. But maybe a little advice to help you. You help me. I know you can use the steel hamer the way you do But they have brass hammers. You can hit harder and you won't throw up a verb. And I know you're thinking will maybe a chip with a brass. I'll get caught in somewhere and it's really not that it's more soft and chip off.
    2 when you were pressing on the beans. I was always taught. I use heat treatment oil and a Torch in a little cast iron like pale, you heat up the oil and I set the bearing in it and I get it hot not long a minute or 2 and that opens up the bearing so it'll just drop onto the shaft and in the meanwhile, I put the race. In the freezer all day overnight. In the race, just when it gets cold. It's shrinks up and you can push it in what your hand instead of pounding it into the casting. You can still tap it in there. Of course, it's just a little extra knowledge. Not that anybody is doing anything wrong or right. It takes a special man to do it. All anyway, we all have our. Waze, but look into the heat treatment oil. Not that you have to I think the heat treatment oil don't really catch on fire maybe or don't turn in the pigment. Or maybe regular oil might change. I don't know. I never tried it with that. It's just the way if you gotta see spindles auto machine. I really long 34 foot sometime. And it would take at an awesome process to do that. So we just drop on my l.
    I hope this helps somebody out. Not that there's a longer right and I'm using a voice to texting. So if it says something weird like does barren has butt I can't help it.

11. Whatz a preload?

12. Man! You had me last year when you denied repair on that brown redneck truck. Lol. You taught me today taking that axle off. I enjoy watching your damage of the multifaceted english language. Haha

13. Put the pinion in a bucket of ice first

14. i wish the underbodies of cars were this clean here in the midwest

15. You should be using a toaster oven Brother

16. Never seen pinion bearing not just slipe in on seal side than oil slinger

17. New one shallower pinion gear so longer bearing

18. Been there , done that , on my back in the driveway ,all manual tools . Oh what fun . 02 f150 . Ahh the memories lol

19. A trick i learned years ago for easy bearing installs is using and old deep frier with gear oil in it to heat the bearing.

20. SC

21. Try 11 degrees!!

22. Watching this rather than replacing my Crank Position sensor on my '01 WJ.

23. That's summer for us here in the northeast 😅

24. @ 05:28 Perhaps it was not a case of the new pinion bearings being a little larger than expected, but that the ones you removed were too small?

25. There are certain jobs where technicians have the skills and the knowledge, but when they dig deeper, it soon becomes a specialist job. Gearboxes and diffs are definitely in that category!

26. 3:32 I can hear Klaus Heisler shouting “Epic Fail”. 😅

27. Not being a mechanic myself, I learn SO MUCH from your vids and I really appreciate your attention to detail. I never knew there was so much to rebuilding a rear end. Fascinating stuff. Thank you again for all the details.

28. There are dimensions and tools to measure / set pinion depth, eliminating repeated R&R. I'm glad you checked the pattern with paint. Thanks for the video Ray

29. Love the classical music. Subtle yet classy. Love the channel.

30. I often suffer from Ramen arm when working on my old jalopies. Friend come by, "she have Ramen arm , heh heh…"

31. Digging the soundtrack

32. so you always leave a tiny bit of play between the gears, thus able to constantly be flushed with oil. right.?

33. wow – rear ends are really no joke.

34. Is that elevator music playing in the background???
