Ez is like the painter, Bob Ross, of big trucking mechanics without trying. The guy delivers a great, little introduction into the project and just casually talks the viewer through the entire process. Great stuff. 🇺🇸

The video just uploaded, but I already know it's going to be a great video

I break the tires loose by loosening the lug nuts, then run the truck forward and backwards. It usually breaks the tire free from the hub.

They do suck trying to get the rear wheels to break free from the hub mine where rusted on really bad

For some all these repairs are a money thing, frankly I enjoy getting dirty and even busting a knuckle once in a while. Nothing like being able to fix your stuff.

Nice job Ezra! 🙂👍 Glad the brakes failing happened close to the shop! 😲 Nothing worse than being stranded.

It's the "Soggy bottom boyz!!" Great song. Great video as always EZ....

You're definitely one heck of a mechanic!

That U joint would've made so much noise in my town with cobblestone streets. Good work as usual.

AWESOME FORD TRUCK You have a really Nice Truck and it's a FORD TRUCK!!!!!!!! Awesome Video

Some of those camera angles were definitely great stuff,thanks.

You know alot about alot and that’s really good when there alot to do because you have alot of stuff that at times needs a lot of love.

Awe s**t! Cracked me up there after the little splash refill mishap and your reaction comment. Awesome video as usual EZ!

Have had the same thing happen on a 1999 GMC. Lost the friction material and brakes went to the floor. Almost rear ended the family in front of me. Love that road salt.

I was staring soo hard at that first u-joint and thinking to myself, “man that thing isn’t moving any!” Then POP! Liked to scare me to the bathroom!🤣

Your videos are awesome!

the TIG torch giving a helping hand. And digging the music!

Good video as always!!! Really like watching you work on all your equipment!!! Keep videos coming 😎✌️

Ezra another great video. Really enjoy your videos.

Great job fixin' up the Ford.

I just love the way you put the stop back in the stopper that looks good I'm proud of you

Great video like swing press action I don’t have to work with to much rust here in the south west

Ezra, I have owned Ford trucks since I was able to drive and sometimes I think I need my head examined, 😂. I refuse to own a Ford truck after the 1997 F350, Superdutys rust out even worse than the OBS trucks, the unit bearing wheel bearings and metric lug pattern are terrible and oil pans rusting is a problem. Up until the 1980 model change, the body panels were galvanized, the oil pan was easily accessible without lifting the engine and I deplore the Ford fuel injection pre MAF for lack of being modification friendly. I still find pre 1980 trucks with less rust up here in the northeast than post 1980 trucks. You're a patient man to own this truck, 😂.

Great video Truckman this video was well on point I learned a lot of stuff from this great video keep them coming

Yet another informative video from the man Ez! When that uni joint popped it looked like it's soul was leaving it's body in slow motion!! Keep the content coming Ez. Cheers from Sydney Australia as always.🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🇺🇸

Great video looks like your good to go for now good luck with the Ford I have a 2015 and so far so good thanks for sharing

I Like How You Position The Camera To See The Work Area , Thanks For Sharing . Great Video !

Top man Ezra , I love your shop too , I tend to work outside on my vehicles , not good ! Have a good weekend from Spain 🇪🇸

Brilliant idea on using the cooling system pressure tester on the brake fluid reservoir to bleed the brakes. I always add some anti seize between hub and rotor and it helps with the corrosion and the rotor comes off easier. Hope trucking is going good and the rates are decent with fuel on the rise again.

Nice one Ezra very informative thanks y'all be safe out there bud

Another entertaining yet informative video. Thanks

Just done the same thing on my truck all round brakes plus park brake ....good idea with the rad pressure tester perfect never thought of that...hope old red is behaving it's self ges u bizzy now with spring here

I'm surprised you don't have trucker music in your background little red sylvain or something of that sort cool videos you're always getting into something thanks for making them I'll keep watching

Really like your wideos👍👍👍 Sigge from sweden.

Thank God for this channel

The motive pressure bleeder works like a dream

G'day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 the pressure brake kit is worth every sent particularly if your on your own I hand one that I bought from the States and it was terrific. I always watch the channel and I am always amazed what you do on your own and the knowledge you have, anyway stay safe regards John

Great job! Thanks for sharing 👍

Fix Or Repair Daily lol. That's a new one to me. I always heard Found On Road Dead or F*cked Over Rebuilt Dodge lol. Always great content

I had to do the fron t axle repair on my 2011 super duty about a year and a half ago. Lots of fun!! If the wheel bearing hub is tough to remove, you can wedge an impact socket (or some kind of spacer) between the backside of the hub and the shock mount (IIRC), and use the power steering to press the hub out. Works like a charm.

Nice work, I have a 1988 F250 7.3 IDI diesel getting ready to replace the U joint behind the tranny and do the rear brakes as well this upcoming weekend.

Great vid Ezra. Those uj’s were damn hard to get out of the F truck...

What I like about your approach to repairs, is you don't half step and take a chance of issues down the road.

Crikey! That was a lucky one Ezra!

I can understand your frustration getting the rear rotors off. Last summer my Chevy HD needed brakes all around. It was all rusted together pretty well because I was able to nurse them all along until 100k.

I fabbed a bleeder up years ago for the old style master cylinders. An 1/8" piece of rubber glued to a 1/4" steel plate, drilled the holes in rubber and plate. Used a valve stem and a hand pump, 2 big C clamps and boom, Bob's your uncle. Great idea for the coolant tester for the new style reservoirs. Thanks Ezra. Stay safe

My dad always said you'd be amazed by how many dollars a nickel's worth of grease will save you. Case in point: that front u joint lol

Great to see u ezrider

Great job hand

That was a job great work brother.

I enjoy your skills, have a great day

Yes sir cool work 👍

Only critique on this is I would have changed the ball joints at that time, having the axle down that far.. great video!

Radiator pressure tester was genius

Mr Ezra cool video as always. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍👍

Nice. Didn't even lose the socket on the u-joint pop. Now, if that had been me, I'd have been looking for it for a week.

Them rust belt specials..Why I never bitch about working on cars in Texas... At least I can see the nuts and bolts..

That's a good looking truck!

I used to see this happen with Dodge B350 Maxi vans (prisoner can with lots of meat in the back) quite a lot. OEM was rivited pads. Heat and vibration would cause cracking across the rivet segments. Then the pads would fall out and drop the pedal to the floor. I forget what brand I ended up switching to, but it was bonded material, no rivets. I’d recommend doing the same here based on what I saw in your video.

Maintenance up keep 👌. Nice video

Darn, i sure love the music!!!

I enjoy that it took Dodge until the 4th gen to realize a radius arm front end is the way to go over a four-link

pretty nice working truck

I own a hotrod and custom car shop and you would not believe just how many cars come in with bleeder screws on the bottom and most of those cars have expensive vehicle specific disc brake conversion kits which comes with illustrated instructions. Pressure brake bleeding works really well, harbor freight has a new pressure bleeder kit that is supposed to be pretty good. Getting the air out of the abs is the hard part. On many vehicles you have to perform a abs brake bleed with a scan tool. Pressure bleeders have to have enough pressure to open the abs valves.

It's good to watch somebody who knows what hes doing, My dad and brothers and me everything was in house, But you probably are right you got the right side done now you be doing the left side 😂😂 I like my Fords to Found on road dead or Fix or repair daily 😂😂 be safe

Literally the exact same thing happened to me this week with the same noise you described have an 08 f350 dually had to replace caliper

You know “fix or repair daily” would look great on a key ring, I’d buy one 😎👍

Drink beer, watch EZRIDER . Good times and thank you bro.

Love the radiator pressure brake bleeder! Sweet!

Thanks for your support

It’s a good job you can do all your own repairs otherwise it would cost you a fortune in a garage. Good job

Great vid lad !

Sure hope you put a u joint with grease zerks on 👍enjoy your videos

Very smart guy...

on Saab 99's it was required to pressure bleed the clutch. We just use a cut-up inner tube and bicycle pump, clamped by a drilled master cyl cap, so you can return that tool and save $50

Me thinks it's not been apart in a while. Good job.

Thanks for the new content and mixing it up a bit.

@@Ezrider359 always a good video. I don't have the room in Texas to build a truck but when you get to a cabover I will have plenty to invest.

That turned into quite a "three day camel ride".........and I suspect there's more to come 😊 Road salt, age, neglect and grease-free initial assembly have much to answer for

Good job 👍

Nice one.

keep the great work

A friend of mine has a 1995 Dodge 2500 has sprayed the under side with Fluid Fill every fall since new, no rust and we are in New England.

Spray some Fluid Film on the hub faces and it won’t stick anymore. Great stuff!

I had a 2006 Harley Davison F350 that spent more time in the shop than in my drive way. Even after being bulletproofed. But a buddy of mine has a 2006 still virgin with 350k miles still fine.

You have such a wealth of knowledge in automotive and heavy duty. Now which do you like to more??? The big rig or automotive stuff??? Or do find the heavy duty stuff more labor intensive and the automotive stuff more as a relaxing side of twisting wrenches. Or both just as equally satisfying or it's just something to do.

Ole Red went from a Peterbilt to looking like an F-350 lol

My brake caliper on the front passenger wheel came loose yesterday from a bolt that fell out and it was jerking hard and ate some of my rim, 2005 chevy Silverado 1500

EZ thank you for remembering us! Hey, can I get a copy of the design spec for your bottlejack press? LOL That’s a cool setup. It’s made a few appearances and always saves the day.

Just recently had to do the full work on the right rear on my F250...mine was sticky caliper eating pads.

Man it just doesn't get much better. A Peter belt and Ford in the driveway

Nice trick

Check your front driveshaft splined section going from the transfer case to the diff. If that seizes up it could rip the case off.

Your mechanical and general knowledge of transport is eye opening, are you self taught or have you served an apprenticeship. Nice to watch Ezra.

Great video buddy . Do you have any videos of old red working out.

O brother, where art thou,,, working on them old brakes

Appreciate the music.

Once the factory goof-ups are fixed the 6.0 is a great engine.

Those front axle u joints can really suck sometimes. Looks like your bearing assy. Came out pretty easy. I've actually ruined them trying to get them out. Torch in hand.
