Eric watching you raising the subframe into the Subaru brought back memories of reinstalling A-10 gun systems. We always had to watch that each assembly was raised evenly and seated before starting the various bolts in. I enjoy watching you work. Thanks
I have to admit that was a pain in the butt but you've done a fine job keep up the good work Eric
Excellent series, in every way. How many hours have you put into this car at this point with the subframe replacement?
How about a Toyota Sequoia frame swamp. That would be epic.
25:02 No chit! How long ago did they switch from Wix? How are the Mann filters? I use teh Mahle ones in my Benz/BMW.
21:53 No anti-seize? Come to think of it I don't think I have seen you use it.
cool video mr.o thank you
I was wondering what took you so long to put out a new content. Come to find out something has unsubscribed me from your channel.
Lady's and gentleman what you have witnessed is a real mechanic doin the job correctly!
I did this same job a while back and it's a bit time consuming but not bad at all… After it was finished we said we had PTSD
post traumatic subaru disorder ; ))
Can you put a link for that silicone tube squeezer.the one i have is too hard to squeeze .
Eric.. You did an Excellent job of swapping the subframe at a VERY affordable amount ! The owner is very lucky that you chose to do the job in the first place! All the EXPERTS that criticized your video have a tool chest with a flat bladed screwdriver to pop their beer can tabs! Keep up th Great Work and Videos
This is an amazing series!! I watched to see what's involved in these subframe replacements I hear about these days. I did a subframe on my '69 SS 396 Camaro years ago. Things were so much simpler then! I remember it was rotten heavy, moving it around by myself…
Eric my favorite parts when you work the larger bolts up in the rust belt with the "No Mercy Reversy". Dust flying, tools banging. You work like a surgeon. Keep em comin
In the end is it worth it?
Great job.. thanks for your time..
For anyone doing the RTV on the oil pan the new BRZ has had failing engines with spun bearings because some bloke at the factory hosed RTV on the oil pan gasket it rolls up falls off and clogs the oil pickup screen starving the oil pump.
Just viewed the "short" where you point out the rusted through places on the carriage. I asked to see in the second video because…well…all I saw was surface rust. I didn't doubt that it needed replacing but the actual rusted through points are a big part of the story…….also did not know that others were questioning the replacement. Great videos & thanks again.
