In this video I bring you along as I swap out the rear differential on a Ford Edge. The original rear diff gutted itself and it is much cheaper to swap it out with a used unit instead of rebuilding the original. -Enjoy!

People that live in the East Coast are much tougher than the people that live in the West Coast
You are so stoned right now
Haha DeNaples.
wait do you not poop multiple times a day????
also i wish i went to school…. to be a mechanic instead of art.
Love the logic, shouldn't have ate thru the can already. Love it.
I live In iowa and a 20 min jod turns into 2 days a lot
How could be the labor for this work?
Man you make obvious that them speed sensors done you dirty in the past! Every mechanic has their pet peeve! Thank you very much for the video.
good hack with the cardboard, i never would have known that.
Ya know you handled that question all wrong , Of course it’s leaking from the valve covers ! Where else would it be coming from ? Ha ha ha
What a fascinating insight into the mind of the mechanic as they get annoyed by rusty car parts.
ERIC O if your not a machanic one don't exsist that I can garantee
258 ft lbs?, you brought a knife to a gun fight with that torque wrench..
Eric, keep in mind the typical junkyard parts puller. I've had as many parts that I needed to 'fix' as not. Doesn't make it right, but it is what it is. And yes, it still pisses me off even when I expect it.
Yes. Virginia, McDonalds is an effective laxative.
Looks like a royal pain in the arse.. no thank you Ford 😆
They deserve to be called a junk yard, cause that was total bullshit what they did to the unit and to you..
Not clear for fly by
I would be depressed also if I had to live in the socialist state of New York. Power On Eric!
Does the flavor of donut matter?
i got an oil leak, where is it coming from?
you got the car with you?
no, just tell me.
"RANT OVER" …About fkn time.."NOT A SPONSOR"..
Is that more Ford "Lifetime" fluid in there? 😂
Late to the party, but seems no one got the “go to war buhlakeh” reference.. disappointing ..
I'm in Michigan same problem here
I struggle with stuck speed sensors all the time. My trick is P-oil. Wait a minute then apply light heat and vibrations to the knuckle. When applying heat to the p-oil it starts to change from a liquid to a vapor (chem 010). This expansions pushes the rust apart

Entenmann Donuts for the WIN!!!!!!!!
Plantain muffins… 😝
Please wear a mask when working with fine dust.
What’s that adapter for the air hammer called? The one you used to push out the bearing?
For some reason, I think that Mrs. O has probably perfected the “You Dumbass” look.
I love Phoenix, Az when working on cars…
The right side of any car in the salt zone of the USA is almost always going to be rusty. Curb side where most of salt gathers. I’m from Akron area of Ohio so yea I’m with ya.
Ford Edge Rear Differential is it front wheel drive?
You can't be a videographer AND a mechanic. It's only one or the other.
Sounds like Blizzaks on all four corners!
Air hammer – "give it back to the child you borrowed it from". LMAO!!!! You had me laughing the entire video. Great work brother! You are a testament to all of us who turn wrenches for a living!
H, Eric, stress comes with every job!!!! Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
👊🏼👍🏼
Mcdonalds will make a turd ,,,
Since the history of that dif is unknown, would you recommend driving a couple hundred miles and then draining/replacing the fluid again? /notamechanic
Hi Eric. I love your channel. I've learned more than a few things. I know you've got some OCD and really like to clean things. I think it's great that you take the time to do it. Some guys don't. But you've really got to start protecting your lungs when "liberating" all that rust. Do Mrs. O the favour of keeping yourself healthy.
All the best.
Get with the program NAPA. Dang, I am getting to sound like my dad now.😁
Does anyone else feel like absolute poop after eating McDonald's? Or is just that I don't eat it often
You have to reprogram those RDUs when replaced with the axle code tag on the side or else it could prematurely wear or wipe out the new unit
as a mustang owner. Who has waited for a lot of mustang videos. and has been here ringing that bell. We must have that mustang video! lol
Eric O, red-faced and sweaty, talking to junkyard dude: "Man, you caused me a lot of extra work and cost me a lot of time by messing up those mounting bolts – what were you thinkin'?" Junkyard dude to Eric O: " whatever, dude", turning back to his smartphone. Seems like the people who care about their work are the ones who pay the price.
We all love Mrs. O because she loves your corny dad like jokes.
You guys seem like a really awesome couple.
