Edd, as a person involved in lighting for television and similar industries for many years, I am able to say with some authority that the lighting for your videos is excellent. None of the scenic elements, in your case shop equipment and cars and parts and so on, are blending into any other. It’s quite refreshing to see. What stimulated me to write is the scene where you are disassembling the steering ram. Your media blast box is behind you and lit from inside, making it clear that it is, indeed, a media blast box! Brilliant! So, kudos to whomever sets you up, you make good looking videos.

I'm glad that I'm not the only YT viewier who notices production values / or lack of. There's nothing more certain that 'dyed in the wool' camera and lighting people notice 'issues' that others do not. Nowadays - everyone with a mobile phone seems to think they can make a video. The term 'broadcast quality' is no longer respected. In the old days anything below a defined standard would not make it to 'air'. In exceptional circumstances an 'amateur clip' (eg. from VHS) could be transmitted in news reports but they were always clearly captioned as 'amateur footage'.

Totally agree, TV, in general, is a joke. KZread has been my go-to for great content for a few years now. I was so happy to see Edd make his comeback here.

Paul's part in this episode was epic, such a great contribution to the video and such a critical role. Well done Paul! (Edd, you were "OK") 😉

Man, I thought the camera was going to pan round and he'd be playing us out on the Hammond organ as well as holding the camera.

Didn't go un-noticed how much effort went into filming in tight spaces there. Your efforts are appreciated!

Edd's grown extra hands......multi tasking guru.

Laughing my butt off at the end when Paul "lends a hand or two" Great job on rebuilding the ram.

4:45 to 5:32... These little sequences are gold.

I'm very happy to know that your videos now have PT-BR subtitles because your TV show is still successful today. now I will watch here every day.

That 3 and 4 handed filming at the end was great , 3rd hand suddenly appearing.

No wonder old yank tanks don’t steer so well with all those joints !! Another great video Ed 👍

WD should have been 3 hours long, 'Mike' 10 minutes max ! Wonderful talent Ed !

So glad to see Paul and Edd back together

You know what I've just realised... in all the series of Wheeler Dealers, even when they're in the USA and have "made it" as a TV show ... at no time did Edd have as good a working space as he now has in his own KZread channel. It just shows you what the focus was before... and that now we're focusing on what's important. I'm loving every one of these episodes. More detail, more knowledge, more passion (and more Paul!!!!) :)

It nice to see Paul jumping in there to help. Hi Paul🤗

The cheeky little reappearances of Paul should absolutely continue with occasional featured episodes. I love all of it.

If anyone made a dirty audio edit, this would be the episode. I'm glad the ram was well lubricated and solid.

Glad to see you and Paul on you’re own channel miles better than Brewer taking all the credit for you’re hard work , keep them coming Edd 👍🙂

I love that the frame flash comments became a thing :) Loved the end. Good thing you had some help!

Helping hand appears - Love that! 😁

Edd, I'm so glad that Paul and you are back in business together! Side note: a few days ago I've found that Mustang's ad where a woman who looks like a secretary is looking for an affordable car in a GM dealership. Then, 2 or 3 years later Lt. Frank Bullitt is driving a green 1968 across San Francisco's streets.

Love the seasick Steve style music, the camera work and the legendary edd China therapeutic commentary.

Now I'd never doubt your skills as a mechanic, but there's no way you got that circlip back in on the first try with a pair of picks 😁 Even with proper circlip pliers, they have to slip out of the clip at least 3 times and you have to stab yourself in the finger with the pliers themselves once. I might be willing to believe if you hadn't shot the circlip all the way across the shop once, but everything else has to be editing shenanigans😉

Lee Iacocca must've really loved ball joints.

Worth the time watching from beginning to end, like with M539 Restorations

Brilliant to see Paul back in the workshop. Now thats a duo I can get behind. A question for Paul: What would be your dream car to work on and what has been your favourite to work on? A question for Edd: Where do you buy your parts when they need replacing? Do you stick to manufactorer spares or are you comfortable buying elsewhere? Pros and cons of this?

Great Paul is back and is Great Mechanic , Edd watch & learn from him👌🤣

Just a tip, spin the castle nut round when using the ball joint splitter to avoid the top of the nut splaying under compression

NICE Mustang REAL NICE!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍

Green gloves, not "signature" orange?? Blasphemy!! Love Paul is back. Also interesting he is helping Will and Gus (my next favorite show, over here in the States)!

26:56 Ohhhh so thats how Edd can work on so many projects at once, wondered how one could be so productive.

Paul's epic contribution getting the idler arm off and on 🤣🤣 but coffee? Where's the tea? You're supposed to be British!

And this is why I cancelled my TV licence. Nothing but rubbish on there now. Either working or watching videos on here. Always looking forward to new episodes.

It wouldn't be a Friday without a trip to the workshop. Always perfectly timed with closing down the work laptop. Happy days!

Great to see Paul’s 🖐 🤚 back at work 😂 The subscribers have shot through the roof Edd!! Well done good sir! It goes to show your fan base is still loyal after the years of absence!! Class!!!

As the owner of a 20 year old Japanese car where every ball joint nut is seized solid with rust, watching Edd undo those steering rack nuts with a ball joint tool, a ratchet spanner and sod all resistance is most frustrating 😁

When everything is leaking like it kind of keeps everything free of corrosion. But plenty of classic mustangs are not in that good shape and are a real headache to take things apart on. the rear leaf springs are notorious for not wanting to come out for example and usually need to be cut out with a sawzall. First time I did my front suspension ball joints was really hard.

I've dealt with rust on cars since the 60's and the best solution I've found is heat. Favorite tool in my workshop is my "smoke wrench," if the heating tip isn't enough, the cutting tip will be. Old sayin is "it can't be tight if it's liquid."

It looks like this Mustang hasn't spent any time on salty roads and all that leaking oil surely helped. In countries without salt, they nearly all look like this. My 2000 model Corolla looks brand new underneath, just a bit dirty. It's swings and roundabouts really.

Good to see Paul make a cameo appearance.

Hey its nice to see Paul back! Don't forget to due a spray can overhaul on that steering gear! 😁😉

Awesome that Paul is back working with you! I’ve watched you on TV here in the States since Wheeler Dealers first aired and first let me tell you what an inspiration you have have been to me furthering my confidence in tackling projects! “Having a go at it” as you say! Whenever Paul was mentioned I always wondered “Who is this wizard Paul?!? And why isn’t he on the show?!?” I’m really digging Workshop Diaries and it’s good to actually meet Paul! Side note: I’ve watched all the other shows he’s been part of as well!

Edd China rocks!

4:15 Great taste in music too Edd

What a neat trick with the snipe nose pliers and hammer to remove the split pins. I have always either got a pair of pliers over the eye and pulled and twisted, or a pair of side cutters and levered them out, sometimes working against a screwdriver. Ed’s method looks easier and quicker.

Szuper, köszönöm a Magyar feliratot!😊

The amazing four handed Edd!

Watching Edd fixing "stuff" is a great way to start the day 😍

Remember riding in the backseat in downtown Detroit, in uncles brand new 1964 mustang convertible!!!! What a great little car

I love the captions.

Credit to your camera operator - great close up views.

My Dad worked at the company that used to make all the special tools. The ball joint splitter was easily my favorite, and I bought one. All the rest of the tools I could just borrow, make all the difference working on the cars.

Ford made these power steering units in cars for ages. I had one in my 1968 Falcon that I rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt and then finally after not being able to ever stop it from leaking I ripped the whole assembly out and went to manual steering. I was extremely happy to remove the whole dreadful system. Great video.

Thanks Edd to continue, I support you!

Nice to see Paul's hands back to help at the end Keep Safe you two.

Thank god you have your you tube channel Edd me auld China as I won’t be watching the new series of what’s that show again any glad you were true to yourself and the fans and stuck to what you were doing on the show best bit of wheeler dealers was yourself explaining what you were doing in Lehman’s terms and I just don’t think the new guy could ever replace you not in my eyes anyway your a legend mate

It is great to see you with Paul again, what a team you both are !✌️

Hello edd, Geez there’s lots of seals there huh!!.. Love your show since wheeler dealers buddy

Damn you for making this look easy! Always the sign of a great teacher.

Really liked the bonus material after the sign off.

Considering the age of the car, the power steering rack is surprisingly clean under all that vintage grime.

Loving a bit rubber and lubrication tonight.

That sweet sound of cavitation.

Nice to see Paul again, I'm looking forward to see him more often.

Close up camera work on this is a work of art. And could only be done on this show...Excellent. I am wondering, why has none of the big movers and shakers taken you on? I mean you have the history of excellence in this field.

Hi Ed on the ram rebuild kit why does it seem to come with a circlip that's an external type not internal like it was used. You can see why as at bumps where the circlip holes are show that it's ideally to be used externally and why its hard to get your pliers on as the holes are where they are not supposed to be. Might be worth going over it in your tea and biscuit section about the differences for those that are not aware. Paul great to see you back keep it up 👌

Great to have you back you and Paul are truly professional 👏

Great Job Edd!!! We love the way you explain what and why you are doing these repairs and the intricate way it all comes apart and goes back together.

I’d do far more on my own vehicles except I never seem to find space to reach the sketchy bits with a tool and then actually apply force with that tool. Ed does, even if it’s a laborious 87 1/4 turns to remove a nut. That’s talent AND patience. Ed and the team not only find the optimal angle and sufficient space to do what I cannot they also manage to shove a camera in those impossibly tight space in such an exact manner as to film the whole thing and then it ceases being skillful and becomes sublime 😂

Bang up job as usual Edd! Easy on those chemicals though, it appears you grew two extra arms for that idler arm..😏

Nice little Paul cameo😀
