I have frequently watched inexperienced techs struggle with a job, so I wander over, show the the best way to do something, and then wander back to what I was doing. This leads to one of three results the next time they do that job. 1) They remember. 2) They remember "something", and come ask me to show them again, which I gladly do. 3) They make the same mistake again,. For #3, I let them struggle. Eventually, I might ask them if they remember what I showed them last time, but some lessons have to be learned the hard way.

@@crowttubebot3075 Hats off to you sir. You are the tech/mechanic that new techs need to get to know and have the privilege of working with or at the same shop. I would have loved to have worked with the attitude that you practice with those who need help or those who come to you for help. I had the opposite where a question about help or a visual inspection to estimate a problem or job found part of a oil change when I was new was met with the tales of how this career is terrible and I will be broke and lonely if I choose to stay and that I need to find a better job or being told that is my problem. Also dealt with the techs who only want to be bothered when your trying to recommend gravy work and taking my ticket so they can clock it to get paid for the oil change I did because a oil change is beneath them but not when it came to getting paid for me doing it or a PDI because I was hourly and they were flat rate. I even tried to sweeten the pot by offering to do oil changes for them if I could in exchange for being shown how to do a alignment or brake flush with the machines etc.and was met with nothing. Again I think your work ethic is awesome and more senior techs are needed to practice this to help the next generation. Thank You

In regard to #4, I've seen a lot of mystery intermittent electrical issues instantly disappear when the battery cables were tightened down fully. I work at AutoZone and the very first thing I always do when testing batteries is try to wiggle the connectors by hand. You should not be able to do this by hand no matter how much pain and bleeding you can handle. This is actually a frequent problem when batteries are replaced and cable connector bolts bottom out before a full connection is made due to the new battery using skinnier terminal posts than the factory battery.

RE The battery terminals. Reminds me of something that happened when i was a teenager. My dad went to look at a car for sale as a non-runner. It was a Renault 25 V6. A luxury car over here in europe that was popular in the 80's. My dad took a look at it, and the owner said the "AA" had even sent a guy to look at it and they gave up. So it was a non-runner. We paid the money. Hooked up tow ropes and towed it away. My dad pulls over about 3 roads away. Pops the bonnet (hood). And shows me that the battery is in backwards !!. Took it out, flipped it around and sure enough it fired up almost straight away. He was so happy as it was really cheap and yet a very nice car. And yet a trained mechanic didnt spot that !.

Actually learned something kinda new here even though I do the very same thing as you do for a living. The trick to rock the car on the ground to find a clunk was something I had never thought of. But still I have found pretty much all the clunks I've had to diagnose. On balljoints I use channel locks (if they fit) and try to squeeze the side of the cup on the other end and the nut on the other - if there is any movement then the balljoint is bad. This has been very useful on to diagnose those upper control arms on VAG cars with the multilink setup (A4, Passat 3B, A6 C5 and so on). Gentle fiddle with a tire iron on bushings if not visibly broken also has found many tired parts. Anti roll bar drop links with balljoints on both ends - if it can be turned from side to side easily when the car is on a lift then they are at least near failure if not failed already. Channel locks work here also. Many many years ago when I was still learning and gaining the basic experience I even tried removing the drop links and drove around the block - the clunk was gone. I had the new parts on the table but I wanted to be sure before I fitted them because the old ones did not feel so loose to hand even when removed (I did not yet use the channel lock method at that time). Though on some cars the anti roll bar might hit something else in the suspension if the car is driven without the droplinks so this is something to think first before doing it. On wheel bearings my methods are trying if there is any play with the wheel on, then spin the wheel and listen and last I grab the coil spring and then spin the wheel. If I can feel "judder" on the spring then the bearing is bad. A few rare cases have been where I had to use a mechanics stethoscope on the knuckle near the bearing while spinning the wheel to hear the bearing noise. I am sure this is all clear to you but if someone going through these comments might pick up an idea from here and then I didn't write this for nothing :)

Great tips. For tip #8, if you're not sure of your hammer aiming skill, thread the wheel nuts back onto the studs so the top of the nut is flush with the top of the stud. That way, if you accidentally hit a stud you won't mar the thread. Where I live salt is used on the roads. Rotors and drums never come off easily. They're always rusty and usually need to be heated with a torch. I'm amazed at how clean the undersides of Wizard's vehicles look. No rust!!!

On old vws/fists and Japanese cars that obviously haven’t been rotated in years. I don’t even try to take them off before I Loosen slightly. Move it and Clunk. Then I lightly grease the the hub to try to prevent it next spring.

If a $180 tool saves you 10 hours of labor a year, at $50/hour then it's a bargain.

Yeah but if you only work on your car own cars, it's a little harder to justify spending $180 on a tool that won't see much use.

On the brake drum or rotors another trick is to look for screw holes and run the right size bolt in the holes evenly with a power tool. This method pulls the rotor without damging anything surrounding the rotor. also if the holes aren't there i use an air hammer in between the studs works like a charm.

15:50 - For all these pro tips... Why not tell people to put the lugs back on the studs? So in case you do miss; you're hitting the lug instead of marring the thread, good tip as opposed to "Don't do that". This is exactly what I do, and that's exactly what I do.. Live in the rust belt so I know a thing or two about rusted on rotors.
