The Astro 4980 (AKA "Big Nasty") has been one of the best and most powerful air hammers I have ever owned. So far nothing has stood in it's way until today. Replacing the pads, rotors and rear wheel bearing on this 2014 Ford Taurus gave it a run for its money! -Enjoy!

This video made me not wants change my wheel bearing myself,,,, I don't have these tools !
Aside from the safety pointers, you blew me away with the detail of the backing plate repair?!!? That really shows how true and professional you truly are!! Love all your video’s Eric, EXCELLENT WORK, ohh BTW way, what the heck was the lamb sounds using that spray? Guessing the name of product! Had me laughing!! Be SAFE😳 happy trails.
Was that a left handed thread metric crescent wrench or right handed crescent wrench?
Eric, what swivels do you use on your air tools?
You might have to call that puller big nasty or big nasty #2
It pays to have the proper tools for the jobs..
Damn, i saw that coming..your the man..
R.I.P big nasty..she was awesome in her prime..
Oh no say it aint so..big nasty defeated..😱
It always interesting to see the little things that other techs do differently. I always hammer that back of the hub flange to get bearings off. Not fun lol
Might be a dumb question but why not just wack the bearing on the edges with a big regular hammer that’s what I did on a Subaru same style and they came out
Bring on the brake jobs 🥰
A bastard file falls between a coarse file and a fine file; it provides a finer, more-polished edge than a coarse file, but removes more material and hones an edge more quickly than a fine file.
Please get rid of the stupid background music / noise.
DISAPPOINTMENT! …. i watch most of your vids and i keep expecting to see Richie Cunningham and Pottsie come running across the street wanting to talk to your helper Fonzie… i dunno why you play that headbreaker music when you should be playing tunes from American Graffitti in the background when you go driving around town….
Don't know how many times I've watched this but it never gets old… Epic!
Yes please do make sure your lugnuts are tight. I was riding with a friend who had worked on his own 4 -runner when the thing suddenly dropped and the rear wheel literally passed us and jumped over the concrete barrier wall and into the lake. I was just think wtf why did a wheel just pass us?! Then we all got out and we were looking like damn that was your wheel!
The People will always come back for a brake job where parts go flying across the room!
Makes me glad I don't live in the rust belt.
FYI. I bet $100.00 if you’d placed a jack stand under the wheel housing, Big Nasty could have broken it loose…! 👍. Reason being, it was bouncing , albeit, slightly……. Get it on a SOLID SOLID SURFACE, or as solid as possible, under the circumstances. Works surprisingly Great 👍
wow another new tool i have to buy that file looks great i could have used that on last brake job my wife is going to stop me from watching your videos with all these tools i buy afterwards lol
Whoa, creacent wrench?
Wouldnt heat from bearing heat up fluid in caliper, causing pressure to increase? That can cause the brake drag right?
I'm counting my blessings for having unsalted roads here in Orlando.
I Use a hammer bit and a 3050b snap on. hammer it both ways and if it's real bad you get your bud with a 2nd air hammer in the shop and it's coming out. Works every time. You should see the shit we get in upstate new York. Horrible
Could've strapped ol bezos to that hub and got him into orbit 2 years sooner…
Ah' it alright. You two got past it.Your brains B.N. Bronze
Is the torque on the dust shield Iggy diggy?
I'd like to know about your little "whizzy" wheel…
keep going on the brake jobs buddy, we are good!
Gotta do whatever it takes
Always sounds like you say self made auto
That was epic I've never seen a bearing launched into space lol
that was epic i need that hub grappler knock off, already have big nasty and she is a bad bitch but sometimes she needs a besty
eric the people pleaser
I have replaced the Bearing bolts with longer ones and beat on them with a sledge hammer. However, there are some bearings particularly the rear ones that I couldn't get a good swing at the bolt.
Eric, If you clamp that backing plate to a piece of aluminum you'll find welding it will be a lot easier.
I worked for an old timer in the late 80's and he swore by bag balm to stop corrosion on bearing housings and axle splines! Bag balm is full of lanolin.
Hi, Eric. I've gotta get one of the metric crescent wrenches.
No everybody is saying that you need some pneumatic tools and chances are the brake hose is imploded and won't relieve the brake pressure properly
"Metric" crescent wrench! Lmao, that's good
You should probably buy some gear wrenches or just get a Hercules cordless ratchet
Front hoses on escape's collapse often
Dude! That was epic!! Love the videos. Keep em coming. Hi ‘Mrs O.
Oh yes spray paint that dust shield repair black just encase the owner crawls under the vehicle and looks around. I would suggest the paint might help with future rust, but considering where you work sort of like shoveling sand against the tide or might I say salt against the tide.
Neverseize the new hub
Aerokroil 20 minuets before you start

Just like new, don't you mean just like old. 🤣
