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!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Koskie says:

    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.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Baja Joe says:

    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

    Since the history of that dif is unknown, would you recommend driving a couple hundred miles and then draining/replacing the fluid again? /notamechanic

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wobbie Wall says:

    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.

    Does anyone else feel like absolute poop after eating McDonald's? Or is just that I don't eat it often

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars So Graphical says:

    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

    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.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dude with Opinion says:

    We all love Mrs. O because she loves your corny dad like jokes.

    You guys seem like a really awesome couple.
