The Astro 4980 (AKA "Big Nasty") has been one of the best and most powerful air hammers I have ever owned. So far nothing has stood in it's way until today. Replacing the pads, rotors and rear wheel bearing on this 2014 Ford Taurus gave it a run for its money! -Enjoy!

Always a bigger kid in the schoolyard to get around. When I was in grade school, I was getting pounded by the bully with him on top of me. One of my friends saw what was happening and grabbed a rock and wacked the bully on the head, knocking him out. We ran off. The bully later told me he woke up with no one around in the school yard. The bell had gone off and everyone had gone inside. Back then, there were no school monitors in the play areas. The bully recently called me decades later, and we discussed what happened and had a big laugh over it.

@fernanjs 5 лет назад

Hey Eric, a good way to "bridge the gap" is to put a copper backing plate behind it and lay the weld on top. The weld will grab the steel, but not the copper. You can flatten out a piece of water pipe and keep it with your welder. Really helps with thinner sheet metal too, since it wicks away some excess heat and prevents you from blowing through.

That still looked safer than when I changed the rear wheel hub assembly in my 02 Camry. After a day of messing around with a slide hammer and everything else I could think of (no big nasty unfortunately) I put the four hub bolts a few threads in and bolt the wheel back on. Then I loaded my tools and the new hub in the Camry and took it to the street. I got up to about 15 MPH and started swerving side to side has hard has I could. After a few turns I felt the hub pop loose so I pulled over to the side of the road. I then changed the hub right there on the street. I am sure my neighbors thought I was crazy that day.

@franksprecisionguesswork501 5 лет назад

Ah the memories! Working years ago at a truck/tractor repair yard I was tasked to remove the rear hub from the axel of a monstrous old tractor. The puller was a huge contraption with a 2 inch screw that had wings that were designed to be be tightened via hammer blows. The chief mechanic warned me not to stand in front while striking. After smacking the thing with a 2 lb sledge for five minutes, he said sometimes a little heat helps. So I started heating with a torch. The hub an puller shot across the shop and stuck in the wall 20 feet away..

Eric, you have created the South Main Auto Repair Show. Doing the brake job is incidental, It's your dialog and delivery, it couldn't be better if you had scripted it. There was setup, drama, tension, danger, pathos (the defeat of Big Nasty) and finally resolution. You created a half hour show out of the brake job and made it more entertaining than most half hour shows on TV today. Also you're getting an excellent feel for camera angles and lighting and you editing is getting pretty damn sophisticated. All in all, well done sir. If I may make a request, produce some more of you excellent electrical diagnostic content. It's almost at the level of a whodunnit now.

At the dealership we would sometimes work in 2 man teams with sledge hammers to knock those hubs out. The explorers are the same way. My personal favorite hammer for the job is the Wilton Unbreakable 20624, it's a 6lb sledge with a 24" handle and is the perfect balance between impact force and control in my opinion. Even with 2 techs wailing on the hub, it would sometimes take us over an hour to knock them out. We also cut a slit in the thin parts of the shields and take them off the same way you did. That's of course for the AWD versions where we can't do what you just did

@Autofixpals 5 лет назад

The 4 bolts that fasten the bearing to the knuckle. I usually leave them screwed in a few turns before removing them completely, I then take my air hammer with a pointed (but strong) bit and hit the center of those bolts with the air hammer essentially pushing the bearing assembly out from the back. Now this works for me 90% of the time however i don't know if this would work on that bearing, she was in there good.. But i do find it more effective than getting the bearing to spin in the knuckle. I have a video up showing what i mean. Using the Hub grappler to get it done was brilliant! Adding that to my bag of tricks 👍

@rakentrail 3 года назад

Eric, If you clamp that backing plate to a piece of aluminum you'll find welding it will be a lot easier. I worked for an old timer in the late 80's and he swore by bag balm to stop corrosion on bearing housings and axle splines! Bag balm is full of lanolin.

Any SMA video is great, be it brake jobs, gear box jobs even the occasional head job always very entertaining wouldn't miss one for anything. I also like the tunes he plays on the air tools. I had a mate once who was a panel beater and a drummer in a band and he used to belt out a pretty good drum solo whilst beating out the dents in the panels.

I've had to remove a wheel hub like that... eventually had to take the whole knuckle off and whack the back of the bad hub with a hand sledge until it came loose. Had to use a lot of penetrating oil to get it loose, too - corrosion between dissimilar metals is a b*tch.

Hey Eric, our vw wheel hubs are bolt on just like that one. One is able to sometimes air hammer on the bolt heads with them a few threads loose to slack up the hub. Then as you said just hammer behind the hub. However the downside to that trick is you sometimes have to replace the bolts for the hub.

@fargenvonwitbier 4 года назад

I work at a Ford dealer and what we do when we run into this (it's super common on Explorers, Taurus, Flex, Edge sometimes the Fusion) is we cut a wheel stud, knock it out, thread a bolt through the flange with a nut on the back side and stick a a driveshaft carrier bearing shim (used in the Transit driveshaft recalls but a thick piece of steel will work) against the knuckle so we dont mar the hell out of it and tighten the bolt against the shim. It works 99% of the time. Gotta be able to unbolt the dust shield though or else you'll end up destroying it.
