Try putting the lugs on loosely, and then driving the car in a circle very slowly. The weight of the car should brake the wheel off.
If they click, its time to replace them. A lot of folks on the subaru forums have had good luck with axles re-manufactured by Raxles. On my 2000 Legacy I ended up going with a new axle made by EMPI. I’ve put 20,000 miles on it since I put it in last year, and it’s worked just fine for me.
Loved the video! It was really interesting to see how you triage the cars and figure out what order you’d work on them, and how it’s a big game of juggling, because as you mentioned in a previous video, if you get a car stuck on the lift in pieces with something that turned out to be much more problematic than you expected, you’re stuck.
You don’t have to do a video on it, but can you do a follow up on the Honda?
Also, how about a video of you doing the grass? Also, have you ever considered “A day at the shop with Cameraman Brian?”
Those aftermarket radiators aren’t necessarily a bad thing, nor is having the automatic transmission lines. I think I remember seeing Eric use one in a manual car at some point, and just plugged off the lines. As far as the OE/OEM/Aftermarket goes, I think Denso is the OE manufacture for Honda, so you could always get a Denso (not honda) branded part which would be identical, except for the Honda branding if that makes you feel better, but I’d be quite happy with the Koyo radiator you have there already.
As an IT guy by profession, hurry up and wait is 90% of what I do.
Set up a task on the machine, and wait for the machine to do it. Customers don’t seem to get that I can’t make the computer scan itself or install things any faster than it’ll go. So often I’m just stuck here waiting.
In fact, I’m waiting right now for some tests to complete, so I went on youtube to watch ETCG videos.
It’s nice when on a project you have the time to just hang back and watch your powertool batteries recharge. Take the moment to recharge yourself too.
Unlike all the youtubers, I liked the video. It might have been sponsored, but it’s not like you jumped out waving around a pair of Monroe brake pads and praising them like the second coming of Elvis. And I like that even in your sponsored ads, you still have that down to earth folksyness.
And it doesn’t hurt that your sponsor makes a pretty good product from my experience.
Will you be doing a video focused on tire wear in the future?
Heater is set to heat, fan is off. What this is doing is opening up the hoses so the hot coolant can get into the heater core in the dash. If you don’t have it set to heat, there’s always going to be a pocket of air in the heater core that’ll never get emptied out.

4 questions based on my experiences with my Civic:
1) When it wouldn’t start did it make any noise at all? Did it crank or anything?
2) Have you checked the wires leading to the alternator? On my friend’s car they were quite worn which was leading to an intermittent connection.
3) Is your alternator belt loose?
4) Not a question but an observation. People who have had similar problems as your car does have ended up having all signs point to the alternator. So it’s interesting that yours tested as okay.
