What a creative design, use a flex washer to offer some 'give' to the system, so applied torque reaches a plateau. That would also reduce the chance of early bearing failure when the assembly robots ovetorque to align cotter pin holes. Cool.

Great video series so far with the Santa Fe, it brings back some memories from when I was a parts guy at a Hyundai dealership. That body style of Santa Fe starting in 2007 had known issues with rear hub & bearings. There's a dust shield that supposed to cover and protect the side of the bearing, but the ones that were put on in the factory had a gap that allowed dirt, grit and crud to get in and destroy the bearing. They were also prone to front sway bar links wearing out, fuel level sending units failing (they have two) and rear differential coupling units seizing. Very popular vehicles though!

I just went through all of this, knowing my '11 SF GLS needed backing plates and the complete parking brake assemblies on both sides. I originally sent it in last week and had to rebook it a week later because the axles were seized in both hubs. The shop wanted to have new hubs and axles on hand in case they destroyed the originals, plus he is one of the busier and well known to be trusted shops in our small area (Windsor, Nova Scotia, higher up in the rust belt). Over the summer, I ordered two complete backing plates (OEM Hyundai parts) that included everything including the actuator. My AC also died in the spring, so I ordered a compressor and condenser from Rockauto. I should have added two wheel bearings/hubs and two rear axles, because in the end, they had to be pulled from the differential as one assembly, they were seized that bad, and I had to pay for the overpriced local parts from the shop that did the work. This was after I had the drivers side apart about a month ago, trying to replace the parts myself. I failed miserably, mind you, I don't have a hoist, and most of the work was done on my 44 year old, construction-abused knees, and I didn't have nearly enough leverage, even with a breaker bar, to get some of the fasteners loose. It ended up costing me alot more than I had planned on spending, but at least now it has a new 2 year MVI sticker on it and working AC, and the parts they bought are lifetime warrantied. What frustrates me is given the right shop to work out of, I have the ability and tools to complete the work, which typically saves me a lot of money. However, all I have is an attached garage, which, granted I can do basic stuff like oil changes, brake work, and tire/wheel swap-overs. 2 years out of high school, I had completed a basic MVR mechanical course at the local community college and started working at a small Ford dealership in our local town. However, I was only 18 when I started that job, and the shop foreman was a prick, who clearly had a dislike for me. I only worked there for 9 months, and I did learn quite a bit. But I ended up going back to construction work with my father after being laid off in the winter.

All this rust makes me so glad I moved south. So many years spent working on the family's rusted cars. So much money needlessly lost having to replace said cars that ran great yet were so rusted they were dangerous.

Turning the key on my Subaru has become an act of faith. As the engine grumbles to life on this fine New York morning, the yellow check engine comes on , as it has everyday for the past three years, and the same questions swirl in my mine. Is this the day that tiny head gasket leak turns into a gusher? Is this the day that the catalytic converter chokes closed for good? Is this the day that one speck of sand too many works it's way into the cracked CV joint boot, causing it to seize up at some bend in the road and send me spinning into a ravine, not to be discovered until spring? I intimately know everything wrong with this car, I feel the squishy brakes and the engine straining to get up a hill, and I hear the ominous grinding sounds coming from under the right front wheel well. But I can't afford to do anything about it to ward off those looming disasters. And I am not the only one, there are a lot of folks in this predicament.

Living in New Mexico I buy old cars that are rust free all the time. Have too many of them. I usually pay $1200 for a mechanically clean example that just needs some tlc and minor items addressed.

I like that term "HANGRY". I've been there and know what that is like! Little stuff starts to eat at you and you want to break stuff just because...your hungry and tired and just plain had enough!

Hey Eric, a small tip for you. I always use some lock wire to pull the cable clamp fully back and time it below the parking cable mount. Install the cable end then remove the lock wire. Occasionally a piece of lock wire gets stuck under the arm, its a small piece and it will fall out on its own.

I went through half my life not knowing how to use a "ball-peen" hammer. When using an expanding fastener, you put the ball on the fastener, then hit the face of the "ball-peen" hammer with a second hammer. I don't doubt there are many occasions when this little bit of knowledge would be useful. Losing a car to get Mrs "O" sounds like a win to me...I'll bet she will last a lot longer.

Somewhere here I have an old school drum brake tool that’s headed your way if I can find it. It’s perfect for putting those springs on the nail with one hand and your chin. ;) The old tools are the best ones.

Greetings from Europe, I live in France and I have a 2007 Sante Fe wonderful SUV if you take care of it. No salty roads and wash car underneath, no rust ! Tires and disks may last easily 100.000 miles. I have seen Santa fe make up to 500 000 Kms (400 000 miles) with no major issues. My rear hubs are OEM mounted and now I have to change them both at nearly 300 000Kms. I have only changed disks and pads so far :D
