1. Thanks, my man ,!

2. Thanks for the intell

3. Wondered why you did not put on a new rotor as it was severely grooved.

4. Where can I get the punch screws driver from??? I thought you might have a link on where to get it any thing helps

5. Thank you Mr Olson I have a bad wheel bearing that’s going out and now I can get it done thanks to you for this awesome video on how to do it mine is a 2014 ford fusion. Thank you sir for all you do for the people across all states

6. Say I came in with that car and I wanted four steel wheels with good winter snow and ice tires. Can you get steel wheels ? Roughly what would four steel wheels cost if you can get them ?

7. You dont need those rotor sctews at all. They are there to hold the rotor during production. You should lightly coat the mating faces with antiseize, imho. That rotor was toast if you ask me, but nobody is. Lolol What a great job on that tire mounting Mr. O!

8. Engineers dropped the ball on that model. That bearing R & R was WAY! too easy.

9. Hey Eric great job great information man I don't miss living in New York but I want to ask you a question I kind of not a big fan of telling people more than they need but it look like they needed brakes and rotors but that was just my observation looking at the road it looked pretty rough have a great day

10. The forbidden black corn dog

11. Dang, that's a crappy lookin' rotor!

12. Once you called that tool a "screamer" I thought of Sam Kinnison every time you used it after that. OH OHHHHHHHHHH!!! OH OH OH OHHHHHHHHH! Can't get it out of my head now lol

13. "Don't do crack!" Eric with the PSA and segue to the ending rolled into one! Love the channel!!

14. EO you weren't beating on the sharp end of a chisel were you?

15. Roto looks like crap.

16. These cars have the easiest rear wheel bearings to change. But then you go to the fronts and think HMM…YEP, Ford must've let mazda design these babies.

17. Easiest bearing job ever.

18. Thanks for all tips and for being a conscientious master mechanic.

19. On a serious note, are brake pads still using asbestos? I can't seem to find a real consistent answer online about it. I am a dealer tech only seeing aftermarket pads occasionally, so I imagine I don't have to deal with it a heck of a lot, but still wondering.

20. that rotor didn't look too good…

21. Why don’t you thump the rattle gun on the wheel a bit more, it really annoys to have the paint chipped off around the lug holes.

22. I just bought a new to me pickup. My first. I need it to haul garden and construction materials. But it is coming from Arizona. And I fear, once it gets here to K.C., it is just going to start rusting away. I have no idea what I am going to do to prevent that.

23. Dude a 2012 year car. That looks like a 1990's car from the underside to me! Sheeesh I guess that's the rustbelt for ya.

24. that air ratchet sounds like the late Sam Kinison

25. I think this guy is the only mechanic I've seen, in real life or on the tube, that doesn't use a 2lb hammer for everything. Choose right size for the job, my father taught me. I'm not in a snow area so I do sympathize with the corrosion you guys have to work with. If my car ever looked like this underneath, I'd freak!!

26. Awesome as always! Just had to replace the front drivers side hub/bearing on my 04 Chevy Colorado when I arrived to my Labs/Campus yesterday. Started really going fast right as I pulled in, and I mean bad, which as a mechanic have never experienced anything like that before.🤔 I promise Eric.. it had literally started making the soft grinding noise the day before.. weird.😬 And yes… I am definitely trying the "Ten I See" on my wife first thing tonight as I get in LOL. Have a great week and keep on making these great videos! 👍

27. Ahh… the old fashion one handed handy 😅

28. what did you do about the exhaust leak … putty / bandage … new part .. or salvage yard

29. I never knew a chisel was dual purpose like that! Ain’t your first rodeo!

30. Subaru engineers are you watching?

31. I usually place the sensor just in front of the duck head, that way when you start spinning the rim to dismount the tire, the tire is lifted away from the sensor and the sensor doesn't accidentally get hit by the duck head. But I reinstall the same way. Valve stem leads the tire around the rim. Thumbs up. You'd be surprised how many new guys I tell this to, yet I see them doing exactly what I tell them to not do, then they get all upset when a sensor breaks, and I have to show them what they did wrong since they chose to not listen to me. Oh well.

32. Another good learning experience with some humor thrown in for good measure.

33. Wow i cant believe how easy that bearing came off being an NY car. I live in Boston and never had a bearing come off that easy.

34. Did you do the resonare?

35. Awesome video Eric O.

36. Cracking jokes ain't all it's cracked up to be

37. As a Southern Boy, I have to Sympathize with you Mechanics that have to Deal with Rusty Vehicles almost every day-what a Pain in the – – -…..

38. doesn't any of your customers use ziebart or something similar?

39. TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

40. About the rotor screws. We had a brake job on an Audi come back because they weren’t tight and every time you hit the brake the rotor would hit the wheel bolts. You could even see the marks they left. Only car I’ve ever seen it happen on, maybe something to do with the bolts vs studs

41. I had the same model and year. It sounded like a helicopter going down the road whe the rear whell bearing went out. youtubed fixed and replaced myself

42. Like the Doo die doo die doo . Reminds me of some other guy ! Greetz John.

43. and I thought I was the only one in the world who turned his tools around backwards to whack something back on to the car. I don't feel lonely anymore!..

44. I live in Virginia but I had a 2011 Ford fusion that made it to 321,000 mi before the transmission sent it to the salvage yard in March. Besides normal maintenance the only thing I really had to do to it was replace the driver side CV shaft. Even at the end of its life the engine still only burned about 4 oz of oil over a 10,000 mi oil change which I was really impressed with. And I know several people who share the same story about those Fusions. They were great cars.

45. That job deserved. a Pie. Cherry Pie.

46. Good job man! Good job taking care of the extras or misc issues!!!

47. Mango's are amazing.. You're missing out.

48. I'm definitely using that "You from Tennessee?" line on my wife tomorrow. I love making her roll her eyes out the back of her head. 😂

49. I’m in a New York State of rust
