Is that Cherry soda leaking from my Mustang's power steering?! - Edd China’s Workshop Diaries Ep 31

[@DougPedals]

Edd, as a person involved in lighting for television and similar industries for many years, I am able to say with some authority that the lighting for your videos is excellent. None of the scenic elements, in your case shop equipment and cars and parts and so on, are blending into any other. It’s quite refreshing to see. What stimulated me to write is the scene where you are disassembling the steering ram. Your media blast box is behind you and lit from inside, making it clear that it is, indeed, a media blast box! Brilliant! So, kudos to whomever sets you up, you make good looking videos.

[@pfranchini]

also lights underneath the trolleys

[@Ampex196]

I'm glad that I'm not the only YT viewier who notices production values / or lack of. There's nothing more certain that 'dyed in the wool' camera and lighting people notice 'issues' that others do not. Nowadays - everyone with a mobile phone seems to think they can make a video. The term 'broadcast quality' is no longer respected. In the old days anything below a defined standard would not make it to 'air'. In exceptional circumstances an 'amateur clip' (eg. from VHS) could be transmitted in news reports but they were always clearly captioned as 'amateur footage'.

[@pfranchini]

@@Ampex196 actually you can even made (and was done) movies with a phone, but still the light & sound needs to be well looked after

[@basscharenborg6441]

This is why I don't wach TV anymore. I absolutely love your show. Your videos keep me happy on grey and rainy days. Thank you :-)

[@twothreebravo]

Totally agree, TV, in general, is a joke. KZbin has been my go-to for great content for a few years now. I was so happy to see Edd make his comeback here.

[@theroadtrips]

Paul's part in this episode was epic, such a great contribution to the video and such a critical role. Well done Paul! (Edd, you were "OK") 😉

[@lolzlarkin3059]

Man, I thought the camera was going to pan round and he'd be playing us out on the Hammond organ as well as holding the camera.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Laughing my butt off at the end when Paul "lends a hand or two" Great job on rebuilding the ram.

[@MarkoCoomo]

Didn't go un-noticed how much effort went into filming in tight spaces there. Your efforts are appreciated!

[@teddybear9152]

So glad to see Paul and Edd back together

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

It nice to see Paul jumping in there to help. Hi Paul🤗

[@Hoaxer51]

Yes, I liked seeing Paul lend a a hand or two! Nice job, Hi Paul!

[@derf9465]

I'm very happy to know that your videos now have PT-BR subtitles because your TV show is still successful today. now I will watch here every day.

[@mrkthmn]

I love that the frame flash comments became a thing :) Loved the end. Good thing you had some help!

[@alangrahamcouk]

You know what I've just realised... in all the series of Wheeler Dealers, even when they're in the USA and have "made it" as a TV show ... at no time did Edd have as good a working space as he now has in his own KZbin channel. It just shows you what the focus was before... and that now we're focusing on what's important. I'm loving every one of these episodes. More detail, more knowledge, more passion (and more Paul!!!!) :)

Wow that was 27 minutes that just flew by. Really enjoyed this video. So chill and relaxing - and what a gorgeous car ♥♥

[@rickh6963]

Yes, the episodes fly by way too fast. It's wonderful how KZbin has democratized video entertainment. I am a firm believer in supporting those that support your kind of entertainment. Milwaukee battery tools are now my go-to thanks to them supporting Edd. I also picked up a set of Ringers from Amazon.

[@MattGD2001]

Brilliant to see Paul back in the workshop. Now thats a duo I can get behind. A question for Paul: What would be your dream car to work on and what has been your favourite to work on? A question for Edd: Where do you buy your parts when they need replacing? Do you stick to manufactorer spares or are you comfortable buying elsewhere? Pros and cons of this?

[@smartgorilla]

Silent vids ahead..🤣🤣

[@Zayllyaz]

26:56 Ohhhh so thats how Edd can work on so many projects at once, wondered how one could be so productive.

[@chrisk.6567]

The work on the sound is amazing. There are lot musical videos that doesnt reach this level of quality ^^. What a great crew.

[@Yvolve]

I think KZbin changed their sound as well, many new video's sound much crisper than usual. Ed's are on another level though.

[@stevesanelli90]

Great seeing Legend Paul back part time…needs to be full time!

[@strokenumber3]

That 3 and 4 handed filming at the end was great , 3rd hand suddenly appearing.

[@Weissenschenkel]

Edd, I'm so glad that Paul and you are back in business together! Side note: a few days ago I've found that Mustang's ad where a woman who looks like a secretary is looking for an affordable car in a GM dealership. Then, 2 or 3 years later Lt. Frank Bullitt is driving a green 1968 across San Francisco's streets.

[@IndependentAnimalPtr]

Awesome that Paul is back working with you! I’ve watched you on TV here in the States since Wheeler Dealers first aired and first let me tell you what an inspiration you have have been to me furthering my confidence in tackling projects! “Having a go at it” as you say! Whenever Paul was mentioned I always wondered “Who is this wizard Paul?!? And why isn’t he on the show?!?” I’m really digging Workshop Diaries and it’s good to actually meet Paul! Side note: I’ve watched all the other shows he’s been part of as well!

[@MatSpeedle]

It wouldn't be a Friday without a trip to the workshop. Always perfectly timed with closing down the work laptop. Happy days!

[@brendonelton]

I love how subtle you have Americanly themed this episode, it hasn't gone un noticed, Mad Anthony's Café T-Shirt, this is Michael Anthony's café (the Bassist from Van Halen) The slide steel guitar music, and of course the Mustang itself. Thoroughly enjoyed this Sir!

[@TL1000S97]

Watching Edd fixing "stuff" is a great way to start the day 😍

[@OTE_TheMissile]

Now I'd never doubt your skills as a mechanic, but there's no way you got that circlip back in on the first try with a pair of picks 😁 Even with proper circlip pliers, they have to slip out of the clip at least 3 times and you have to stab yourself in the finger with the pliers themselves once. I might be willing to believe if you hadn't shot the circlip all the way across the shop once, but everything else has to be editing shenanigans😉

[@scottminshall6420]

Hey its nice to see Paul back! Don't forget to due a spray can overhaul on that steering gear! 😁😉

[@brianwoodstock2344]

Ed is the best of the best in many ways. Foremost in the way he is a pleasure to watch work. Thanks!

Great video as always Edd, but at 23:00 it really looks like the lip on that second rubber seal is not seated properly...

[@802Garage]

I noticed as well. I'm thinking it will likely correct itself when the ram slides inward?

[@ChrisBLong]

He must have assembled the whole thing at least twice, to get the wide shot and the close-ups. Hopefully the wide shot was the final assembly 😃

[@LoftechUK]

I’m not a Mustang lover but but it’s an engine and tinkering is involved. Wonderful ❤️ and it’s moist 😂

Hello edd, Geez there’s lots of seals there huh!!.. Love your show since wheeler dealers buddy

[@jsa274]

As the owner of a 20 year old Japanese car where every ball joint nut is seized solid with rust, watching Edd undo those steering rack nuts with a ball joint tool, a ratchet spanner and sod all resistance is most frustrating 😁

[@philballphotography]

When everything is leaking like it kind of keeps everything free of corrosion. But plenty of classic mustangs are not in that good shape and are a real headache to take things apart on. the rear leaf springs are notorious for not wanting to come out for example and usually need to be cut out with a sawzall. First time I did my front suspension ball joints was really hard.

[@trackerrrr]

S.L.C.S. or Self Lubricating Chassis System is pretty common on old American cars.

[@black328is]

I've dealt with rust on cars since the 60's and the best solution I've found is heat. Favorite tool in my workshop is my "smoke wrench," if the heating tip isn't enough, the cutting tip will be. Old sayin is "it can't be tight if it's liquid."

[@PaulinesPastimes]

It looks like this Mustang hasn't spent any time on salty roads and all that leaking oil surely helped. In countries without salt, they nearly all look like this. My 2000 model Corolla looks brand new underneath, just a bit dirty. It's swings and roundabouts really.

[@farkroy]

I live in the rust belt, USA. I agree heat is the way to go when removing rusty bits

[@dhdove]

Some fabulous macro filming there Ed, brilliant!

Oh my goodness I hope Paul didn’t get to tired doing all that work, great video guys.😁😁👍👍

[@andyrbush]

My Dad worked at the company that used to make all the special tools. The ball joint splitter was easily my favorite, and I bought one. All the rest of the tools I could just borrow, make all the difference working on the cars.

So great to see you back on our screens! What a great piece of production you are all putting together, it must take a lot time and effort to them out each week, lots of kudos to you all. I did notice that the more clickbait head line "chocolate sauce in my range rover got 2.1m views! Maybe more of these will boost the bank balance 🤔 I'm no expert 😉.

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

Ford made these power steering units in cars for ages. I had one in my 1968 Falcon that I rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt and then finally after not being able to ever stop it from leaking I ripped the whole assembly out and went to manual steering. I was extremely happy to remove the whole dreadful system. Great video.

The Mustang brings back many memories, I took my California drivers license test in my Mom's brand new 1966 Mustang 289, 4 speed in 1966. What a fun car to drive around. And back in the day if we would of had our wits about us, we would have re sealed the power steering ram and control valves, but we just bought new. Of course they didn't cost 850 pounds then. Thanks Edd for another great video.

What a neat trick with the snipe nose pliers and hammer to remove the split pins. I have always either got a pair of pliers over the eye and pulled and twisted, or a pair of side cutters and levered them out, sometimes working against a screwdriver. Ed’s method looks easier and quicker.

Hi Ed on the ram rebuild kit why does it seem to come with a circlip that's an external type not internal like it was used. You can see why as at bumps where the circlip holes are show that it's ideally to be used externally and why its hard to get your pliers on as the holes are where they are not supposed to be. Might be worth going over it in your tea and biscuit section about the differences for those that are not aware. Paul great to see you back keep it up 👌
