This is the first time that I've seen an auto mechanic video that was accompanied by Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Not that I'm complaining.

[florianradu]

Bottom line..5 years later ..still a subscriber and still lovin' every second of these videos..🎉🎉🎉

[Kstevieg]

I’m impressed with the simplicity of the OTC tool and the operator’s special sense of humor and music taste.

[jacktennant]

I have watched many of your videos and I feel like you are one of the best and most honest mechanics that I have observed. I am not surprised that you have many "jobs" on your hands! The locals will "network" and find you, you are definitely a very excellent mechanic!! that is because you love your job and you really care about your customers!

Harbor Freight owes you some sales commission cause this has convinced me. I'm buying that impact gun ASAP.

[bensimms]

The classiest mechanic on YouTube. The music just proves it! Thanks Eric O!

[williambell]

That noise cleaning out the snap ring groove will be with me all day as I have a cleaning this morning at the dentist! Thanks Eric!

SMA dinner theater with a side of big nasty. My favorite kind.

[ronbaynes]

You've made a believer out of me with that HF impact. After watching you use it in several videos, and your positive comments, I'm adding one to my shop.

[jrtabios]

The impact goes in tune with the music, ..music to my ears 😃

[RandomDudeOne]

Nice to see a car repair video made during a Rust Belt winter rather than sunny California where all parts magically separate with ease.

We used to press them out at the dealer, Whole knuckle had to come out years ago. Press out the bearing, ball bearings come flying out of the loose ones. Fun

Eric I just bought the OTC giant ratcheting snap ring pliers (4513), biggest beast I've ever seen. I used them on a wheel bearing snap ring last night on this exact car, a 2010 Corolla. Didn't prep the snap ring at all, just put the pliers on and BOOM!. I highly, highly recommend you get a pair.

[elwhastrummer]

This isn't "semi entertaining"...
This is super
I watch your channel daily. Have several friend who own shops, and have been able to refer your videos when my tech friends need ideas.. tools, techniques, etc.. You're awesome!!

[beyonddeath]

really digging the passive aggressiveness regarding your youtube commenters. Bro!

[drvnucrzy]

Welcome to SMA theater with your host Eric o. Sit back relax and enjoy!

[JPilot]

G'day, Mr.O!! I enjoyed the video! That was smashingly good video intro, using Classical Music! Extracted front-wheel hub, and then how you removed the snap ring, very gingerly from the groove! Thank you very much for the marvelous Toyota Corolla, Front Wheel Bearing Replacement!! Well done!

Cheers! :-)🎼🚗❤️

Eric O. ya'll are a good mech. Seeing the other shops send their failures to you and ya'll just chew them up and spit them out even difficult to sus electrical problems i have nothing but respect SMA. Just like Precision Transmission down Texas way i would have saved a lot of money watching youse dudes that are good back when younger.

[bonesable]

I bought the HF bearing kit as well... it has paid for itself after 2 jobs...I have had those 3 bolt bottom joints strip while trying to get it loose

[guayava]

THANK YOU ERIC FOR BEING SO ' SELFLESS AND GIVING' TO YOUR VIEWERS!
