Ethan hurting himself during the proces was probably the most relatable thing and a true welcome in the project car world

I once was standing on a bucket leaning over the fender into the engine bay. The bucket slipped out and my gentlemans area got crushed as I slid down the fender. That was my favorite moment of working on cars...

Swearing is a major part of working on your car. One day I was working (and swearing) on my car in the driveway and didnt first see the jehovah's witnesses coming to my door. They heard me saying bad things and instantly left my driveway. So swearing can also be like a protective shield sometimes.

Snapping bolts is what happens when you gun everything. If you're going to teach him, teach him the correct way.

[@23gatesy]

More fun with a gun though 😬

[@MotoCat91]

Pro tip if you work on cars a lot, get one of these or similar: www.ryobitools.com/power-tools/products/details/18v-38-in-ratchet Low enough power that you'll likely never snap a bolt by accident, still saves heaps of time compared with hand tools and fits in tight spaces better than the giant one in this vid. I've never seen a situation as a mechanic that actually required a high powered one. I personally used to have a full sized rattle gun (before these low profile ones became common), but was still only 12V and max 120Nm/70lbft which is around factory recommended wheel nut torque. My colleagues laughed at me for buying such a weak one while they had beefy 700+lbft pneumatic drivers that echoed through the whole workshop whenever they spun up (and cost around 6-8x more than mine did). Didn't help them though as I still tended to finish jobs quicker, and at least once a week there'd be snapped bolts or stripped threads followed by loud swearing.. which happened to me precisely zero times, not even on the little undertray torx bolts.

[@joshuarosen6242]

It might be funny for a while but they really do need to try to teach him something. If you try to learn everything by trial and error you end up breaking a lot of things and hurting yourself, possibly seriously, lots of times. They suck at teaching and I'd rather see Ethan enjoy what he's doing. Watching Alex and Gareth let him bollock things up is going to stop being funny very quickly. I also wasn't particularly amused to see them pissing him about while he was compressing the springs. The fact is that that can be dangerous. He needs to know when things are actually dangerous and when they are just teasing him.

[@neilwalsh4058]

Totally agree. Alright for whipping gearbox bolts off or anywhere that's not had the bolt thread exposed to weather, but not good on suspension. What's wrong with the old ways of getting a bit of heat on them first?

[@MotoCat91]

@@neilwalsh4058 this, I'd almost forgotten about those tricks Heat guns are quite cheap these days, safe to use around oily bits, and when combined with WD-40 (oil based aerosol lubricant/penetrant) can get even the rustiest of bolts out Also another pro tip for beginners: if you're using hand tools and need more muscle + have space to work, slip a pipe or something over the spanner/ratchet/bar to increase the length/leverage and hold the outer end. A 70 ftlb wheel nut takes 70lb force on a 1ft long bar/spanner Extend with a pipe to 2ft, only needs 35lb force, 3ft - 23lb Just make sure it isn't gonna slip off the bolt/nut as higher force means easier to damage/round off the bolt head.. And doing this on really old or small (1/4 in) ratchets can break their ratchet mechanism so ask first if it isn't your tool kit 😛

"Gunny" I’m really hoping that Alex was making a peep show reference

[@bendavis2968]

I heard it and went down to the comments hoping someone else would have mentioned it

Addictive and brings back memories. I was Ethan 40 yrs ago. Now not much I wont try. I worked at a college helping in motor vehicle they had to stop students using impact wrenches due to tom foolery and needing to learn the old way. I have a cheap cordless gun but prefer wrenches except for where it helps on jobs where special tools needed to remove my scooters variator and clutch. Imapct wrench whipped them off in no time. Keep these coming please so entertaining and lads laughing at theirmates pain😂. Ethan swearing reminds me of me so much when things go wrong

[@MrSonicAdvance]

I really felt for Ethan shearing that stud, especially when he asked about keeping on going. This is why you use a torque wrench.

[@David-zw9uz]

Mike I just the best!! You get such a big smile on your face when he is around 😄

[@panzerveps]

Ethan's face when he was just finished with the front right corner, alone. He looked genuinely happy there.

RIP Alex 5:47 You’ll always be remembered in our hearts

[@andywalker9475]

Well done boys. One of the funniest things I have ever seen on Tube You. Had to watch it 3 times to appreciate Ethan's prowess. Never give up, walk away if needed and enjoy doing burnouts when all is said and done.

I just realised how many subs this channel has now. I remember when it was mere thousands - good job!

"Mr Honda Jazz" - me, driving my wife's old jazz "...and I took that personally...!"

[@LogieT2K]

Ethan working on a car is a like a cook in the army ending up on the front line, capable but out his depth

[@thomasashman8738]

All I can assume from all this is that ethans noise upon climax is “Done!”

[@alfie3836]

All the “oooohs” every time you remove a bolt or a tire is hilarious and awesome! I’m going to do that every time I change my tires now

[@Zzekkoo]

“Can a car break a man?” *YES*

[@BenJShaw]

This hit me deep 😅 seeing Ethan run through the full spectrum of human emotion in one day until at last it was finished, in much longer than it should have taken. Classic

[@nooranik21]

Ethan is my spirit animal. This is exactly what I was like when I bought my first project car.

[@donkey11000]

Ethan is officially a car guy! Ethan for the win! Effin' and blinding, injuries galore, this is true project car stuff right here. Keep up the good work lads!

[@MrGuardcaptain]

Brewer's dog is named after Caroll Shelby? The legend grows.

[@michielvoetberg4634]

Cheers to Mike for being such a good guy

[@Sean-John]

The last time I said "One More" to myself I ended up with a child... 🤦‍♂️

[@juststuff8742]

😳

[@klkp55]

I've been where Ethan is now and I feel for him as it took me a while to get comfortable with working on a cars and knowing what I'm doing

[@eudy97]

Favorite part: "I'm not cutting it", Proceeds to cut it. Now give me my half a spring and sign it pls.

[@SahilM18]

"Theres a spider!" Doesn't show spider. Arachnophobes thank you.

[@shaydevlin5557]

Alex posted on ig that when they did this Ethan looked 'happy'

[@Almightyrastus]

How could they tell?....

[@adamthompson4072]

He has a weird definition of "happy"

[@jonmayhew4468]

"OLD OUT YER AND!!!!"

[@jefforymitchell5697]

Great video, but disappointing that we didn't get to see his reaction the first time he takes it around a corner on those new, stiffer springs.

[@johnathanleverton3017]

I love watching ethan work on cars, the frustration is just bliss 😂

[@cnvdh3514]

Mike is the emotional support we all need for 2020
