Aston Martin Wanted $4,000 for a Clutch, Here's how I Easily Sourced One for $400 (You Can Too) 

8:15 Sam I don't think the rooster should really be teaching you about cars 😂

Pretty sure you broke fitting by turning wrong way

I think if you went fishing with your step-mom your rod would get plenty of action.

That rooster is just giving you a warning that he is about to attack. lol

Sam, dont kill the rooster. he gave me laughs.

That's RIGHT!

I like rounding off brake lines.

Yea, you caught righty-tighty too on the clutch bleed line.

Yeah cheap oil filters are garbage, I have several Fram oiled filters I bought that need to get tossed

Every oil filter can clog after a different amount of time. But the good filters have a working bypass valve unlike the cheap ones.

I think Sam had chicken last night.

Rooster shut the f...! lol

😅😅😅

Here’s a trick I learned from the rooster 😂

Tbf it was being a bit of a cock.

I was laughing so hard at the rooster part. I was kinda waiting for Sam to yell at him how he's gonna eat the rooster for dinner😂

How do you make fried chicken out of a rooster?

@@CoreMaster111 Roosters are male chickens.

Rooster meat too tough got boil it long time.

Sam had chicken last night

You're correct but theres no point buying top shelf parts if he doesnt even know if the cars going to be driveable. Ie: the transmission might also be junk, or the rear end, or it might overheat after it runs for a while. Idk

Agreed!

@@getchasome6230 you can order the part for $10, its very critical as it’s your oiling system. When I had a shop I had people argue against using high quality oil for first startup as it’s common to change in the first 10 minutes. First start is a engines most vulnerable time, shouldn’t that call for the best protection you can give it? You just invested thousands on a engine and worry about $60 of oil. Your lubrication system is never the thing to go cheap on.

Ok Jared, but you know this filter is OEM right???

@@Samcrac I think it’s a scam Sam, it might stand for Only English men

Look at the filter he put, i will die looking at that

@@ahyaan2552 nah it’s OEM he’s good

Gotta love that rooster😂😂

Grew up on a farm. you dont need a rooster to get eggs, so call that rooster chicken soup.

The alice in chains rooster song would have been great to have played if it wasn't copyrighted.

She was surprised to find🍽🥢🥤🥃🥂🍻🍺

‘Who is there?’🍹🍸🍷🍾🍶🍵☕️

go into her room, don’t 🤙🤘🖖🤞✌️👇

And you never lube the outside part of the seal

@@chekolevski7273 💯

Yeah seriously, some things are ok to cheap out on and some just are not worth it, Sam is just too cheap on some things IMO.

I always buy NAPA gold or better. Rebranded WIX filters essentially. Oil is cheap, engines aren't

I mean how do you expect a guy who basically repair cars for living to know that

Lol. You guys really should do research

@@robertm5969 NAPA gold for Aston or other car?

Believe it or not, soft bread does an excellent job for this also. It will nearly liquify under pressure and creep around behind the back of the bearing and is so easy to clean up!

Yep I was just thinking the same thing

Right?! I was like “ wtf that’s going to…….o snap”. Then acts as if it was a “wear part” with limited service life lol…..

Whoops...

Lmao I am not even good at working on my own vehicles and I noticed that too. Looked for this comment.

I was looking for this comment 😅😂🤣

Is RockAuto known for selling bad parts? I've bought counterfeit parts from eBay and Amazon (never again) but would like to think that RockAuto sells stuff that isn't crap.

about only thing i would put a 1.10$ oil filter on is my 14hp lawn mower, but it doesn't have an oil filter so saved 1.10$ there.

Right…… I was like come on man!!! Get a fucking WIX XP!

@@joephysics5469 Rock Auto is a great retailer. Like any place that stocks a wide array of parts they'll sell the really cheap stuff from China all the way to the actual OEM version of a part. Prices for either end of the range is usually very good and their shipping at least to me is fast even with the cheapest option.

@@arizonaoperator saw a after market oil filter for Toyotain diesel cut in1/2 had a roll of toilet paper to filter no bull shit

This is just someone that didn't realise that some cars are more expensive to run and maintain.

That installation tool it's the good one that allow you to slide seal with easy. I'm not going to comment on oil filter because way to many times i had to explain why there is price difference of different manufacturers, different quality etc.

Frighteningly incompetent whilst trying to sound knowledgable, see the Ferrari floor repair for more laughs

Came here to mention this, don't stretch the teflon rear main seal before fitting it! that is why it is on a sleeve. Should really avoid touching the lip at all.

Do you drive the plastic protector ON the crank? I tried to figure this out but gave up after a few minutes.

@@Samcrac yes its flared, its meant to slip over the crank then push the seal onto the crank. discard the plastic and finish driving the seal in. a lot of rear mains match pvc and abs plumbing fittings as installation tools. also rear mains are meant to be installed dry, no oil or it can pop out from crank case pressure.

If it was Teflon (PTFE) then it should have been installed dry - zero oil. The way Teflon works is that it transfers some of itself to the part being sealed effectively making a double seal. Any oil in there will make the PTFE seal fail way too soon. I think this seal was just rubber.

@@Samcrac The protector just slips/pushes onto the end of the crank, then you push/drive the seal itself into the back of the engine. The seal lip slides off of the protector and onto the crankshaft, and the lip ends up staying in the correct position. Then the protector is removed from the end of the crank and is no longer needed.

Glad I wasn't the only one that saw that. XD

Yep, get some crow foot wrenches Sam!

When I was younger I had a 02 Lincoln LS V8 had parts from Jaguar Mercedes Lincoln Ford all-in-one motor lots of parts are interchangeable for cheaper fixes

🇬🇧✊

You'd probably need the John Deere workshop to reset the electronics on their parts before you can use them, tractors aren't anywhere near as repairable as they used to (or should) be.

To justify the price tag

LOL, Sam.. “That damn rooster, shut the F… up.” You should use the smallest mallet on the rooster. 😂

Hey Sam, if you keep that airlift setup on it. I recommend getting on airlift's website and getting the instructions. You don't want to drive it with over/under inflated bags.

Contrary to popular belief, the flutes on the drill, assisted by gravity, pull debris away from the internals when drilling horizontally or upwards, and any breakout on the inside doesn't instantly explode inwards either.

@@TonyRule you are correct the flutes remove most of the swarf. The danger lies in the damaging of seal surfaces and over drilling into block and or housings. Using a screw will not generate swarf and also skips a step, making it more efficient. If the screw does contact something after the hole is thru the seal, it will push the seal out as well.

@@uncommonlogic1698 you can see where the drill hit the crankcase behind the seal, you could even hear it hit it. Luckily not a critical face in this instance.

That is not a good way to remove a Real seal. You can damage the crank and the housing. As others stated. Use some sheet metal screws and a slide hammer. Do not screw all the way through . usually 4-6 of them and I can mount a plate with my slide hammer and its take very little force to get them out.

Better yet...leave it be unless it's leaking, which that one wasn't. There's no guarantee that the replacement won't start leaking right away.

napa gold is also a re branded wix

Oh man, I'll just tell you I love American car part shopping!!!

yeah, me too. Watched it, went to comment and it was set to private, and now back. Figured that he posted it too soon since we do not normally see them on Saturdays, but now it is back...

Thanks for posting this. Just woke up from what I thought was a 10 hour sleep to see this already watched video was posted 9 hours ago. Thought I was losing it but a repost now makes sense.

My lesson that day was to test shit before you spend 3 hours putting shit back together.

Yeah, I take pics of everything as I take it apart so I know what it should look like when the new stuff goes on. And still research like mad online to see others doing it. I knew nothing at all about PTFE seals that needed replacing on my 2004 V6 Passat cams - 4 of them - but learned so much in the process! I am so thankful for videos like even this one!

@@Fearls1, I kinda feel your pain to a lesser extent. As a noob I wrecked my '99 auto Prelude and my friend had a '92 5MT with a blown motor. I pulled my auto motor. No hoist so jacked up on cinder blocks and a dolley under the motor to slide it out. Ripped the blown motor off the 5MT and slid the new one under. Could not get the torque converter off the good motor to replace with a flywheel and clutch. The motor was too heavy to get in the back seat. I ripped off the head and got the block in the can. Drove to the shop and they got the torque converter off and put the new flywheel/clutch on. Get back to the car and get the block out, put the head on and time it. Now to slide it under the car and line up the motor and tranny. NO IDEA WHAT A CLUTCH ALIGNMENT TOOL WAS! For 3 days I was there trying to get this thing to line up and could not figure out what was going on. Pure frustration. Went to the mechanic and explained what was going on and...DO YOU HAVE A CLUTCH ALIGNMENT TOOL? Me:what? Mechanic:Shakes head. I went, got the tool for a few bucks and lined it up 1,2,3.

@@elmayimbe5094 🤣🤣🤣

He can obviously afford a lift, he just doesn't want one for some reason.

if sam has a lift everything would be easy and boring for us.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH for content lol

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I think he said in a comment on one of his other videos that it had something to do with the fact that this area is a stable on his property and that was the reason he did not want to put a lift in. I know he mostly has cars in there but it could affect the value of the property if he one day decides to sell the place and the potential buyers see a hydraulic lift in the front of the stable. This is just my guess (hopefully educated).

Imagine buying any car and finding the previous owner was Sam! 😆

Step mom needs to come outside to chase down and grab that co.... Err, rooster and put it back in the coop

@@johnhutchison9782 or make a vid of her jumping on the rooster lol

The rooster is more interesting, and productive, than Sam.

I've seen videos of people in Pakistan doing similar! Refacing clutch discs used to be common even in the USA.

@@802Garage it is often done for trucks and heavy equipment.

Kind of stuff I did in my teens & early 20's when I had no budget. Good old days.

Paddle clutch will make the car horrid to drive in traffic, also the extra vibration will take the comfort away from Aston style. For ultimate power and performance 👍 however them Aston engine and transmission mounts cost a fortune and will not last long with uprated clutch.

I noticed that too he did turn it the wrong way

17:10 "this one came out no problem" yeah, when you turn it the right way

That's Sam for ya! He does so much wrong but figures it out eventually.

Breather tube?

Glad you like them!

Glad you like them!

But should normally reverse the wrench. The moving part should take the force near the base and not near the tip. That is how it's strongest and has the least play.

That's what it referred to as a nutfucker!

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a rear main seal?

Same concept as SQUARE PEG ROUND HOLE. You'd think 🤔 he'd have one.....

No reason to be a left hand thread …..suspect it was been done up tighter and snapped !!

My thought too, he was turning the wrong way!!

Yup, turned it the wrong way and broke it.

If it was left handed, why is it threaded M8x1.25 when checked?

loved by everyone who 🤩🤗🙂☺️😚😙😗

There is thread lock and if they back out in 6k miles I'll eat that rooster.

@@Samcrac Raw?

@@jamesmay5394 I think the roosters name is salmonella

it's about right, assuming they are not stretch bolts. A lot of modern engines use stretch bolts on the flywheel, so they are something like 36ftlb and then 90 degrees rotation beyond that. This stretches the bolt, so you can only use them once. On on stretch bolts, 75 ft lb is about right for a 12mm bolt.

@@Samcrac ratchet wrenches are not that expensive, why use ancient universal wrench.....
