Bravo! This video accurately depicts what it feels like when you inhale too much engine exhaust. Genius!

[@cutlasscrazy6081]

I learned alot. And keep in mind, don't leave excessive lube on your nuts. Your tool cold slip off. Lol.

[@eleasarmoralesjr1612]

Mr Bob thank you very much for being very thorough and precise with your teachings your step by step explanation make it easy for me understand, and watching you do it as your explaining it helps me as well because sometimes I can't hear you because it gets pretty loud at the garage but I can always count on following your lead and do as you do to get mr through the task at hand thank you sir for all your help I really appreciate how you teach .

it was a good enough video, but the looping was making my brain glitch

[@jackit9556]

Great video and thanks for taking the extra time to show how to carefully take off the existing rusty bolts so not to break them!

[@starcloakstarside9719]

Amused. I’ve literally heard the word “nut” more times in this video than I have in the last month alone. Lemme tell you. That’s an achievement.

[@whateveritwasitis]

great video, for me you missed a real important part though, the foot pounds on the bolts...?will it vary by car and location? my guess would be 30-40 ft.ib

[@ericmarshall5725]

Those are the easiest exhaust bolts ive ever seen to come off lol

[@SE45CX]

Yeah, this a**hole is acting as if he can outsmart the removal of every rusty fastener.

[@ttiwkram]

Yeah, as soon as I saw that first nut loosen I knew this video was from the Land of Make Believe. :-)

I think it was the 13 times that he oiled his nuts.

[@raysarracino995]

Great work and outstanding vocabulary, Sir! Looking forward to taking a stab at this project. Thanks for the excellent instructions.

[@kmalerich]

God forbid the factory would use stainless hardware in this high corrosion environment.

[@icur]

It was a stupid video, they didn't even show how to fit the gasket on or how pipes fit together, PLUS, no washers, bolts too short, no anti-seize compound, NOT suppose to use silicone on exhaust connections because it destroys O2 sensors and to top it off he uses Hardware Hank cheap junk hardware that will break in two weeks.

[@christopherpeterson5246]

The silicone is down stream from the 02...the way the exhaust flows, it shouldn't bother it

[@icur]

In many exhaust systems the flex Donut gasket connection is BEFORE the catalytic converter, making it BEFORE the downstream 02 sensor, so you can definitely damage your 02 sensor if you glob the silicone right before the sensor.

[@josephpiazza97]

You are too critical.......good zooming in and out so you see the converter and bolts up close. I just paid $160 for the job.

[@thelegendaryblackbeastofar39]

@@icur Some silicone compounds, like Ultra Copper, say "oxygen sensor safe" on the packaging. I would think that they would be safe for such use as in the video.

[@youdagoob]

Excellent for DIYers. Ignore the comments from shops who want to charge you for an entire new exhaust system when all you need is a simple gasket.

[@TheBlacktom]

Yes it's very cheap amzn.to/2SVrI2u

[@rogjackson]

This is excellent content. Very helpful. Well done.

[@atomicdmt8763]

There are exhaust donuts from my exhaust manifolds to exhaust, each side - but the bolts do not have springs. This sound ok to you? Thanks.

[@Sumodf]

Great instructional video. Thank you, I almost paid $50 for some one to to replace it. I just bought the donut gasket for $24 and did it myself

[@TheBlacktom]

Hm, wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I'm ordering one for just above $1. Seen it around $2 in many places online.

[@ttiwkram]

@@TheBlacktom That's what I was thinking...

[@tuxmusicman]

@@TheBlacktom I’m kinda late here but it seems to depend on which exact one. On the same website and the same brand of gasket I’ve seen from a couple of dollars to like 50 dollars.

[@deanyanko3326]

Duhhh! you still got ripped for paying $24.oo for the doughnut and the muffler guys would have gotten a house payment out of you.

[@BlackvinDiesel]

What infant did the film editing for this? Great video though, besides the loops and zooming✊🏾

[@Andrew-vr5bb]

My spring bolts rusted out and i wouldn't have known about the gasket if it wasn't for videos like this!

[@jaggass]

I have a Corolla with a rusty exhaust donut but isn't too loud. I've ordered a new exhaust donuts and bolts and will get changed next year. I think Japanese cars only use them.

[@TX_BoomSlang]

Great video. I like the amount of detail that you provide. I have an exhaust leak for my 2015 chevy silverado. Do you have any pointers or advice that I would find helpful or useful before I get underneath there?

[@markcalvert962]

very clear and informative- thanks!

[@teamaxlestands]

Thanks for the info... its almost like i'd seen some of this before :)

[@TheWilferch]

To add some clarity....as you didn't show it....the final installation should have the springs be NOT fully compressed...there should be a little air-space between each coil of the coil spring.

[@chrispelaccia8945]

Did I just have a stroke

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

I know I just did

[@MrJustinWheeler]

This just made me LOL

[@darrenswails]

Is one side of your face droopy? It's probably too late 4 years later....

[@CerealKiller187]

Once the nut starts to come off you don't want to stop until you get all the way to the end. The heat generated by the friction helps the nut remove itself. The heat from the friction helps the nut remove itself from the bolt. The heat from the friction helps the nut remove itself from the bolt.

[@darrenswails]

@@CerealKiller187 what's the heat from the friction doing again 🤪

[@duceizwild]

Thanks you I will tackling this on my mitsubishi outlander on the weekend was vary informative.

[@thelegendaryblackbeastofar39]

More often than not, the section that the donut slides over would be badly pitted from corrosion. In many forums people recommend Ultra-Copper RTV. Though it is labeled as being oxygen-sensor safe, I'm wondering if a safer and more reliable solution would be to filling out the pitting with high temperature steel-epoxy then sanding it down. Some swear by Versachem Crack Sealer, which is ceramic based, for this task.

[@deanyanko3326]

I tried versachem on a muffler seam leak let it cure 24 hrs and it melted and blew right out !

[@chappell514]

informative video, this one is the only one i found that shows how to remove the old gasket from the pipe. Thank you

[@huentertainment]

Same way you remove it you can install it back

[@neac1808]

This info was awesome! Thank you

[@DrLumpyDMus]

You should wipe that oil off. You don't want the tool...to slip on the nut. Thanks - Lumpy

[@mamothcar1]

if the flange is bad or loose will the engine sound louder?

[@lningzhang6655]

do you have a video for Lexus rx350 front Y exhaust pipe gasket replacement?

[@scurvycure]

Thanks for explaining why a spring bolt should be used.

[@phubans]

Do you absolutely need power tools for this or can I break the gasket off without an air hammer and loosen the bolts without a powered driver?

[@atlasiroh5095]

That was incredible 😂

[@zackk695]

It’s 2022! Do they make a bolt and nut that can handle the high heat and won’t rust

[@pedroaguerrevere9118]

excelent work, very good teaching

[@ninjanix7288]

Is this car an Integra? I ask cause this is the job I gotta do. The pipe is down the center not split like a v8

[@thesolpurpose3109]

My head felt like I was gltiching on the repeating lines LOL

[@TREKLlN]

I've got some high temp gasket maker. Could I use that instead of silicone?

[@jessemontalvo1103]

Yes, it's just to hold it in place.

[@jasonmondelo3748]

Can you add somewhere in your videos what car you are working on

[@blaque588]

Does the heat help remove the nut?

[@dan19630]

I discovered my squeaking noise coming from underneath is at this point. Sprayed some silicone grease on it and it went away. But returned days later since the heat from the exhaust pipe would dry that up of course. I've checked and the bolts are as tight as you can get them. Although I'm not hearing any exhaust leaks. Would replacing the exhaust ring solve the problem anyway?

[@leelikebrucelee7772]

what's with the looping?

[@kevinblue2459]

It’s like watching an episode of this old house.

[@Will-mg6vl]

why in the world is it so difficult to find how much you are supposed to tighten the spring bolts? I'm. assuming bottoming them out is completely redundant

[@dds425]

Hi, i had it on my montero and figure it out its getting a noise when the engine got to aircon in full. Is it with Bolt Spring not enough to that make noise?

[@madblunted]

damn the heat resistant silicon thats the key, i cussed so much with mine moving and dropping out!! thanks

[@multibucker]

Very helpful video, thank you!

[@techlab-gi1uz]

Thank you this was helpful.

[@DeniseSlack]

I need to replace doughnut between the exhaust manifold to pipe.are those spring bolts I need?

[@whateveritwasitis]

guess you didnt really listen. yes, they are there for a reason. you could get by temporarily BUT you will break it eventually without the spring loaded bolts.

[@sed6]

Great video, just what I needed!

[@majork4114]

Thanks for the great advice.

i uh i feel like im being slapped around like a cat toy while watching this

You don't see that every day, really really lucky and the bolt and nut are not that rusted to start with !

[@crossphase1000]

I was really hoping at the very end they would show the beginning one more time...

[@ocsrc]

Where do I get those spring bolts ?

[@travissk5036]

Great Content!

[@Pinkielover]

here again ,, On a Mazda six second GEN it's a defect that it can cause squeaking they actually have a grease on the donut to stop it so when that stuff wears off it will Make squeaking noises again .. Pretty ridiculously stupid design what do you want from Ford... I'm about to replace it again it's been three years it's doing the same noise again.. The location slightly different but the same principle ,,,Sounds like a stupid design right , putting high temperature grease on a donut .. Once that stuff wears off it starts making a metal to metal type of squeaky noise that's quite annoying

[@psykro5735]

Am I crazy or is he saying stuff like 3 times

[@bondarkenergy]

It's a tutorial, repetition is a strategy for retention of key points when teaching

[@darktoadone5068]

Is that what's known as exhaust manifold to pipe gasket?

[@robertmont864]

Did he use Hi-temp anti-seize? You should.

[@kmlumd44]

Thank you Rusty Joe.

[@pastytit]

I went into a h3h3 trance watching this.

[@jacobvanhalteren7452]

perhaps use some anti-seize as well

[@DavidGurrney7589]

This only happens in the an alternate universe LOL!

[@vermili0n]

I think this is what I need for my 97 legacy outback, the spring bolts are completely rusted and I see no springs... the flange is wide open and It’s leaking. Everything is rusted and I think the donut deteriorated or something I don’t see that either lol it’s terrible

[@abelglez1760]

Where can i get sucket wrench thats a really handy tool

Nothing....they shouldn't compress all the way, .....that's why they are there.

do it without a lift and in a parking lot

Update luckily it wasn't rusted I live in Arizona so.. On a Mazda six second GEN it's a defect that it can cause squeaking they actually have a grease on the donut to stop it so when that stuff wears off it will Make squeaking noises again .. Pretty ridiculously stupid design what do you want from Ford... I'm about to replace it again it's been three years it's doing the same noise again

[@Kreln1221]

*Other than the horrendous **_"unnecessary closeup"_** video editing..., this was a very informative and helpful video...* 😕

[@JerryFerguson]

The editor really wanted to drive home the point of oiling your nuts. A lot.

[@ashlybutler1074]

Everything I have read,says don't use any type of silicone on the exhaust side of the system. It will ruin your convertor.

[@jjenson2006]

But then the customer won't bring the car back for a new converter and the mechanic will miss out on the extra profit.

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

General rule is not to use anything in front of the cat (s) unless it`s approved for the purpose.

[@deanyanko3326]

I think with that intense heat it will carbonize.

[@squeegeemaster4082]

A proper mechanic would use a 6 point wrench to avoid it slipping

[@NicholasLeader0]

seems to be a judgement call on how rusty the fastener is - in this scenario, yeah 6 pt would seem to be better choice. As well as eye protection.

[@jjb_1989]

Can I install the new gasket without requiring silicone or adhesive? Thanks.

[@beernutsonline]

Actually, If you have an O2 sensor after the flange, you should not use any silicone stuff, as it will deteriorate your cat and/or O2 sensor.

[@augustecomte3841]

Yeah sooo easy, any one could clearly torque on exhaust bolts like that and break the rust weld... I should just like my Granny change my exhaust if it's that easy.

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]
