This was a fun, helpful collab with Donut and thank you Craftsman for coming in clutch with overnighting the tools I needed to make the repair! As you guys saw, I have moved to a new driveway and it's been pretty challenging to move over 1000mi away, all by myself. I hope to get back on track with consistent videos in the new place in the next couple months or so. I'm still sleeping on a blow up bed but my tools and cars are here so time to unpack and get the ball rolling. The new place will hopefully allow me to make videos more efficiently so more content for you guys!!! I appreciate all the supportive comments and the continued patience!

12:27 Yup, VERY important step. If you ever take the shaft out, clean the old grease as best you can and put new grease in. A lot of people skip this step that could gain them quite a few miles/km from that bearing. If you're already in, do it, even if you have to drop everything and run to the parts store to get the grease. I've heard this story so many times "dammit, wish i'd changed the bearings when i changed the seal" and similar. If the bearing's not shot, just pack it with fresh grease, it does a heck of a lot more than one think.

Not his usual setup, in the process of moving houses, working into the night time on late notice, and yet still finding a way to help out when he can. What a true legend 👏

I find these videos weirdly satisfying, oddly calming. I'm never going to repair half this stuff, but I still watch. 😊

Since I caught up on all your videos, it seems to take a long time for new episodes to come out. I have learned so much from watching your videos and you gave me the guts to start doing some of my own work on my car. Small things like brakes and tune-ups, but without watching your channel, I would of never done any of these things. Thanks again Chris for al you do and have done for so many people.

Man the quality is just phenomenal, thanks for always bringing us amazing teaching videos.

As usual, this is something I'll never do, but I love watching someone that knows what they're doing and can explain it well. Chris makes it look easy. Thanks, Chris!

Chris you are a life saver i know so much about cars now ive seen almost ever video you made on my old tablets

Hey Chris, glad to see you back. You might want to mention that some axles have C clips instead of bearing retention. For those, you'll need to remove the differential cover first. From there, you can remove the c clips from the end of the axle shafts. These are found on old Chevys for example.

I totally agree. Have a GMC Envoy that needs backing plates. A major process of doing this by removing the diff cover, c clips, & axles. Not looking forward to it. Just have to wait for the warmer weather now.

So pumped to hear you’ve got your own space! I’m sure your folks already miss you, but I’m sure you’ll stop by for some repairs/hugs. Congrats Chris!

I started fixing my own cars back in early 2020, primarly because I got an $800 bill from my local shop for replacing two front bearings on my Ford edge, when in hindsight I could have done it myself. Your channel has given me the confidence and information needed to get the job done. Keep them coming!

Thank you! Your video inspired me to try and change the wheel bearing and seal on my 2001 Grand Cherokee WG. While the process was a little different, I was able to do this with mostly simple tools and a shop press. Everything worked like a charm and I have no more leaks on the rear axle.

Two of my favorite car channels collaborating is what dreams are made of. Great job Chrisfix!

Thank you ChrisFix for not only helping me fix cars but also give me entertaining videos.

I'm glad the videos are entertaining and you are learning a lot! And I'm glad that video helped you out! Thanks a lot!

Noticed the slide the wheel underneath tip, and the why behind it. It works. I'm living proof. Was swapping the front axle on my 73 F 250, when I was 19. Mild lift and 40s, 460, 4 BBL, tow truck 5 speed with PTO, and an MP 205 t case. Ended up with a SRW set off an F 350, and wasn't going to pass up the price. Take them. They're yours. My cousin walked in, talking to a friend, and decided to lean against the front fender, while I was setting the axle in the springs, shackle unhooked. Felt and saw the truck rock, and moved to GTFO from under it. Took a decent smack from the bumper and plow frame, broken collarbone, and 3 ribs. Cut on my forehead that peeled back part of my scalp. Because that 16 by 10 rim under the frame on each side held. If a tire is off now, it's under. I also Try to push the vehicle off the stands now, before crawling underneath, no exceptions. Spent a week in the hospital, donated my hair early, as reversing my scalping meant shaving part of it off, and was back in the sho a week later. 3 months of antibiotics as well, and a script for hydrocodone as well. But. It solidly beats being dead. Thanks Chris for always passing that tip along. It was usually what I did, but that day, I was rushing to get the job done, and almost paid for it with my life. For the last 30 years, I've always triple checked every safety item involved in every repair. If i can add anyrhing to that, it's this. Always try to rock your car, on the stands Before starting to work on it. Both times I had one fall, I'd forgotten that step. Got my hand pinned to a tree by my 81 Cadillac, installing new brakes, when I was 17. Ground wasn't level enough. Wind picked up, and it went sideways. Mostly incpnvienient, no major injury, but I found a different working location at my grandparents' place.

Who sent up the signal!!! Our hero has finally returned!!!

Good to see you Sir. I was wondering what's going on with the greatest car guy on KZread. Thanks very much for the lessons. We are all grateful to you.

Chris is the only person that can teach something and still be entertaining.

Love your videos, you're incredable at explaining things in a simple and straightforward way! A word to the wise; when putting tires back on a car, always try and keep your feet or any part of yourself out from under the car. True it can help lift heavy tires but if it falls you DO NOT wanna be under the vehicle-especially the tires.

hi ChrisFix, thank you so much for your videos, every time something breaks on my car I look for help from you, and it always gives me a kick to fix everything that went wrong. I am from Europe and thank you for the inspiration and help

Very nice video you made Chris. I cannot wait to see your new home and the continuation on your Ford Mustang along with the Honda Del Sol. Plus, all the new cars and your family's cars.

He told me go ahead. Then watched your video, instead of paying $1000 I payed $100 on some premium spark plugs. You my man, save my ass. 😂😂😂

Chris!! You should make a video on what to do after an accident, like tips on how to make sure the scene is safe, how to speak with the other driver(s), make sure your car is safe, protect yourself from liability, deal with insurance, etc. General advice for small fender benders for people that are just learning to drive, etcetc. I know you can't give advice on how to fix your car after a major accident with injuries/other things, but I think this could be cool. I found your channel trying to do my first oil change. Other videos of super simple stuff would be awesome.

Great advice sliding the tire under the car. I've had a jack stand fail while I was under the car. I was in the process of replacing the transmission, so luckily it was suspended from a rafter and still partially attached to the car. Since then, I leave the weight on the jack as well as the jack stands AND slide the tire under the car whenever possible. After an experience like that, I'm overly cautious!
