The last and final part of fixing the Dodge Charger that came in with the wheel speed sensor problems. In the previous video https://youtu.be/VGGpLzjZLcY we knocked out the front axle without a hitch and now it is time to move onto the rear axles. Hear goes nothing. -Enjoy!

    And so it goes, if the rust don't get ya, the parts guy will….. The satisfaction is in the finished part of the Job๐Ÿ‘

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Bentley says:

    Mr O you are a star rescuing a lady in distress. The rust Gods were looking down favourably on you today even if NAPA (Not A Sponsor) wasn't. You are a good man Mr O, a good man. I hope this lady returns the favour by spreading the word of your exploits and becomes a return customer. I hope she was suitably grateful for your kind offer to fix and not fleece like so many other shops would have.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sven Gonzales says:

    You're the best Eric.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars phillip dotson says:

    You must watch Fan Rats

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Miles Eggimann says:

    Eric, I sincerely hope you will seriously consider moving to AZ (the Phoenix area, to be specific)…you can charge at least $120 an hour, and good, reliable, honest mechanics are at a scarcity here. BONUS: you won't have to deal with all that rust and corrosion. Come on DOWN!!!

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Lewis says:

    Burned your biscuits? I have never heard that one, in all my years as a mechanic! Good one! I'll have to remember that one!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marshal T says:

    Lots of love from Ethiopia.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris casey says:

    Really enjoy your vids Keep up the good work ๐Ÿ‘

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars paul joey says:

    Glad I sold my 07 and upgraded to a '15. Love it. Eric u are a patient man.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Malikowski says:

    Another excellent video. I'd bet you that the car spent it's life parked on the street, with how crusty the left side is.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Dunn says:

    โ˜โ˜โ˜โ˜โ˜โ˜eric… where did you get your exhaust flaring tool.. didnt see it on your amazon store.?!?! thanks!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean Sav. says:

    Sorry Dodge got ya Eric.. true professional, you didn't milk the customer for a mistake. Trust me, it all comes back around someday. All mechanics should learn from your example, even the 'parts changer's only' out there.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Adams says:

    Sounded like you were spring loaded to the passed off position. Know how you feel we've all been there.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Don Smith says:

    Awesome Job. sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.. There's always Tomorrow. ๐Ÿ™‚

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Troy Boyd says:

    Wish I had a dollar for every wrong part I got from the parts store,I could retire!!!!!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Hurley says:

    We live in Fl..did a gear swap front and rear on my sons 05 gmc 4×4โ€ฆbought a parts truck a guy had from Maine,01 Silveradoโ€ฆthere isnโ€™t much really left of the underside..
    We swapped the rear and front diffโ€™s..I didnโ€™t change the rear axle seals..til the first time we test drove itโ€ฆ๐Ÿ™„..they were GONEโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vern Toad says:

    Keep up with the great job

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charlie Lambert says:

    Just a suggestion on the exhaust You could always make a slice in a nice straight section and put a band clamp on

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andy D says:

    Hard to believe a (so called ) repair shop could not diagnose a bad sensor ring. Probably why they charge 40 bucks to repair a tire that is only flat on the bottom.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheMuscoyboy says:

    Great work.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Bailey says:

    Whos fault was it really your for not making sure which one you had the right axel .

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 404 not found says:

    What a nice clear shot of the rear of that Dodge Charger. One reason why I never miss a year applying krown rust control. Great video Eric. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars michael patton says:

    You are so good. And also a good person

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Waxler says:

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars eastcoastrifraf says:

    Nice ! Wish I lived near you I'd take my car to ya all the time.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars edgerrr says:

    "Yeah, I could do that in the driveway with hand tools"…LOL!

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cody Stroupe says:

    Only comment or criticism I can come up with is youโ€™ve got the best YouTube channel out there for an aspiring rust belt mechanic lmao.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shawnzie says:

    Man., I feel for you. I have an 87 pickup with a 1/4 of the rust that thing has on it.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AL M says:

    A tip for driving in seals. Fill the cavity around the tension spring with heavy grease. I've had the stupid spring jump off pounding the seal in, then you pull it all out again and get another seal. Wrong parts really burn me up too as I'm 3/4 hour away from the parts store. I phone in with the part numbers after I look them up and if the part is wrong it's because of me (unless you get a part that was boxed wrong)

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Delewski says:

    Thats the first time I have ever seen that. Sucks to do the job twice Good job

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Morris says:

    Helluva job , love the work ethic

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bismarck San Diego says:

    As Dad used to say, "It builds character"

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Robbins says:

    See that! you whisper sweet nothings and it popped right of!

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Farmer says:

    Great job for the customer and you are well above the average mechanic in your desire to keep the customer on the road and safe. So sorry that you had to do the rear twice. But that's what you get when the other fools screw up and you require perfection. You are the man!

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gunga din says:

    Fixing a car is like having sex, 2 times repeat is so much more fun

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Marcucci says:

    Youโ€™re a good man Dr O. You donโ€™t need to be a religious person, but Iโ€™m a firm believer if you put good out into the world it eventually comes back to you. Thanks for another great video and being a great teacher.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars claymore cluepile says:

    wizardry and sorcery …. when you bang on things they fall together into one smoothly running oiled machine….when i bang on things they fall apart into 20 useless pieces

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Sechrist says:

    Poor ol rust bucket. As much as these vehicles cost to bad they rust so quick.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Dion says:

    How much

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Dion says:

    I'm impressed ๐Ÿ‘

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pat Armitage says:

    Did she park it in water?
    I'm just 5 hours North of you and we use alot of salt but that was bad.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Reeves says:

    A great watch. You went above and beyond the call of duty. Wish there were mechanics like you in Sarasota.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Cochrane says:

    As an ex mechanic I can truly sympathize, parts places can really mess you right up

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Terry Rhyne says:

    If she was smart she would dump it and get a decent ride definitely not another Dodge. That's just me.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chuck Compton says:

    โ€œWe do it nice, because we do it twice! โ€œ that made me laugh until I remembered how many times I have had to do it twice because of wrong or defective parts! Great video!

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Savage Elites says:

    These cars drive next to us on the interstates fellers. Scary.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Roy White says:

    Eric, Iโ€™ve been following you for several months now. I appreciate your thoroughness and your teaching.

    One thing for sure Iโ€™m glad the cars i work on arenโ€™t as rusty or as rotten as the cars in western New York.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Roy White says:

    โ€œWe do it nice, because we do it twice!โ€ Lol.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Barker says:

    Use big nasty.
