Quick Mazda Protege rear strut removal video

[@funkuu7954]

You can please most of the people most of the time, just not the impatient ones. Surely these impatient ones have a fast forward slider on their KZbin screen to skip a little if it's too long winded for them to sit thru. Dude just keep doing the work you are doing with them videos cause it's great. Thank you for your time and info. Priceless.

[@InsideStrate]

hey guy you're doing people a great favor with these videos. Don't worry about a few complaints. It's impossible to make a video that will be exactly what everyone at every skill level wants. Your videos and others like it have saved me a bunch of money and I appreciate it.

[@tonydowning6309]

I agree with inside Strate some of us takes a little longer to understand so take you time for the rest of us

[@guywittamic]

This has to be one of the best auto related "how to" videos I've ever seen! I've never seen a video on your channel before, but I have watched thousands of how to videos for different cars over the years... Jesus that was fast and to the point! I'm also going to subscribe, because no matter if you tell stories or whatever in your other videos, you seem like a cool dude. Thanks again

[@rogerfalnes5155]

There's definitely a time and place for slower methodical videos and also for quick tutorials. I actually got everything I needed from this video, but other repairs I need my hand held a little more. Great videos and thanks for all the help!

[@ChevyFan079]

I prefer your long detailed videos as well. They are very helpful, especially the Quadrajet series, those are just brilliant. The off-topic chat is enjoyable too, I like your personality.

[@wilsonfinlayson]

perfect as usual!!!!! You take the time you want with your videos....without all six parts of the Timing belt/water pump change I would have been a bit lost...your videos are the best!!!...I will tackling this job in the snow and with your instruction I have no worries....keep up the amazing work!!!! Ramble as much as you like

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thank you for the very kind words and support.

[@wilsonfinlayson]

hey, just completed this job, in the snow!!...it went as you described, top of old strut rusted right off, only trouble I had was the link end, had to cut it off...normal for this climate - thanx for the video, your help made it easier!!!

[@xeatcrowsx]

Thanks for all the videos you've made. Working on a car for the first time. Helping my girlfriend keep her abused protege stay on the road @ 158900 miles. You're videos are awesome.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thank you. Protege's are great cars. Even the abused ones don't die until they are wrecked.

[@allanreid2732]

Dude, ignore the negative comments. Your providing an awesome service by making these videos so ordinary folks can save themselves money. I am about to replace my strut and I appreciate detail on how to do it. Great job on this video.

[@Robert82]

great video.. I hate the fact you feel hurried by the previous comments.. but still you saved me a bunch of time . co worker asked me to help him and I'm used to tractors and combines.. I know I can figure it out but shoot this will save me tons of time thanks again man!

[@Erdie5]

Haha, nice speed swap, man! "You see that big one in the center? Don't mess with it. Don't ever mess with it." Love that.

[@jeremyaward]

Best instructional video i've seen in a while. Good stuff!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Oh don't worry, I'm going back to my usual video style. The nerve of people though to complain when they get a video tutorial free. Usually though they are idiots in every other aspect of their lives as well. Thanks for the kind words.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

I grabbed a couple used strut from the junkyard. Otherwise the spring must be removed, which I didn't want to tackle. Just make sure you get ones that are dry and not leaking oil if you decide to go the junkyard route.

[@roberthayes5037]

Outstanding, right to the point with all the details necessary and nothing else. Great video, thanks 👍🙏👏

[@cyaard]

Great video! Looks like changing a rear strut mount on my '03 protege5 won't be too much of a problem.

[@cityislandfish-adventures]

Hey buddy yes that was quick enough to help me make a decision on whether its worth it for me to do it myself which is what I needed. Excellent video I will use it to help me keep up the good work!!!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

I'm glad.

[@jimmyjam9662]

Alright man, great video. This is what I need to do and you explained it well. Calm down a little and take a deep breath. There are always jerks on here that don't appreciate anything or a good story. I personally love them. They so dumb, that they can't see if you don't want to here it, fast forward......LOL. Anyway, thanks, you have helped me and I did get it the first time. If not, guess what what......just watch it again dummies ! Take care. I support you !

[@natekirk7588]

Perfect video. Exactly what I needed and only what I needed

[@AngelRivera-hx7if]

Thanks for the video socket sizes

[@radioactivebanana6774]

I love detailed video's! Thanks for everything!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

You're welcome.

[@仮名川よしろ]

Good video for fast and to the point, yet putting the jack under the rear trailing arm bracket will possibly damage it, the affects of this wont be noticed until you drive and your alignment is redone. The alignment should be don't since most of the suspension on the right hand sign has been taken apart. Pressure on areas where it is not designed to take it, will cause bending and due to the creation method of that part, it will loose integrity. Besides a rubber bushing in that area is not designed to support the vehicle at all. There are pinch frame specific lift points on this car.

[@timurhasanov4878]

Thank you, i am about to do the struts on my protege. what struts and springs did u use and are they good?

[@Ragnarx316]

How did you manage to get the tire to lift off the ground. My strut rusted out n broke. And i cant my tire to lift off the ground when i jack up the car.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

The way the rear suspension is designed prevents the wheel from hyper-extending even when the strut is removed. Either you need a larger jack, or you have something else going on with the suspension.

[@clubcar98]

I understand the point of this video but I too prefer the detailed videos. The off topic rambling is important too! While your doing struts you should come do the ones on that Bonneville we have. The struts are so bad when you let it off the jack the car looks like its been lifted until you push it down. But rather than replacing them they keep driving it and spending a fortune on used tires.../endrant.

[@OnusofStrife]

I miss the old video's. Screw the people who complain. Whats a symptom that you have a bad strut?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Haha..yes the old one was. This is another I picked up from Craigslist.

[@ElBotello76]

Badass Bro thanks loved it I am a subscriber for sure haven’t seen any other videos but will check them cause I have a problem with water in cab from dash and or evaporator coils or something man it sucks got any clue on this issue for the 2000 Mazda Protege LX thanks and god bless

[@annmariecarley-mimm2236]

thanks, this was perfect! just needed a little confidence.

[@biglon62]

The heck with them that's why I watch your vids is for you commentary !

[@robertdavis1557]

Please tell me where you found the rear strut assembly. I have looked everywhere and cannot find anything.

[@skotwrok]

you cant. ive been looking for a while. got some good ones at the scrap yard but you need to order the strut, spring and mounting bracket all separately and use a spring compression tool to put it all together.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Sorry I missed your question. I removed these from a junkyard car. As long as they are dry with no oil leakage, usually they are still good.

[@chrisramon5089]

when did you get this protege?...... did you make a walk around video of it?

[@datnlo1321]

Great video and explanation! Thanks for posting 🙂 👍

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thanks guys.

[@JWolff-md3ij]

I wouldn't mind getting the torque settings for each of the bolts, I'm a bit anal with load tolerances on things.

[@tjlogan8804]

I think your other videos are informative and NOT time wasting at all. I appreciate your videos and look forward to more. Not surprising these guys have nothing better to do other than critique someone else's how to videos on "time wasted" when these duesch bags are clicking on your videos to learn how to do something.

[@josephmaldonado347]

Man whoever talked crap about ur vids screw em. Detailed videos is the way to go. Your protege timing chain/water pump video was a life saver very detailed and nice. Keep making protege videos man and whoever talks crap...well f÷% them. Mad respect bro!

[@GilZu]

your car wasn't in red ?

[@Carrillo17]

Did you compress the spring/coil before you put it back on with the new strut? Thanks.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

No. I replaced the entire assembly, no removing or compressing of springs necessary that way.

[@LU.SMACCR]

Jesus Carrillo you have to if youre using the same old spring. You clamp it down with 2 clamps and screw the nut back on top with the new strut on.

[@drwho5252]

I don't think your vids are too long. If there are people that disagree, they can look for another vid. Whatever. The only thing I would add is before you undo the top three nuts, you might want to break that center nut loose while its still in the car. Just don't take it all the way off!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thanks. That's ONLY if you are replacing the strut cartridge. I replaced the entire assembly this time.

[@drwho5252]

Ok, yeah of course, you're right. I thought about replacing the entire assembly but I'm just too much of a cheapskate. Again, thanks for putting that vid out there.

[@thedriver02]

hahaha that was actually a very good short vid... but your vids are great the way you always do em... but hey, if people are going to watch something they don't like, that's their problem then!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Well, on this car it banged every time I hit a bump and the rear of the car bounced much more than it should have.

[@196killjoy]

This video was so helpful thank you!!!!

[@glenjones801]

Thanks man, that was perfect. Really like your accent, you sound very much like Bill Clinton. Must be from Arkansas!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Haha, Alabama. Thanks for watching.

[@siemenstraffic]

Your older step by step videos are much better.. screw the haters..

[@mikeshirrell6362]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful!!!

[@Mrslurp71]

I want a long video tho there aint no shortcuts

[@paulolive2711]

I like your other videos, don't listen to the other people about the length of them.

[@TYRKHAN3K]

F@#king awesome. Thanks for the concise video.

[@xplaur]

The noise coming from the back of the car and bumpy ride when is not loaded.

[@rstjohnw]

Tyler, be yourself man. Thanks for the vid. Assuming you took it out because of the noise, I am wondering what you changed to fix the problem. F*$# the jerks who criticize your videos. Peace - out

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thanks man. The strut was just dead. No charge left, bounce bounce.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thank you. I think RPeek is trying to maximize his adsense views with all the different small videos.

[@boyettedesign]

Nicely done.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thanks.

[@michaelm3674]

Hell yeah, that's what I am talking about!!

[@OnusofStrife]

Good to know. Thanks.

[@GhettoWagon]

Slow down I have no idea what you just did!!

[@chumadoshi6987]

THANKYOU SIR GREAT VIDEO GOOD BLESS

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

+mit mumo You're welcome

[@intermilan1543]

[@Billyd4Reel]

Dunno who pissed you off but ignore them. Great video though. You sound like a Georgia boy like me. Take care and thanks.

[@kpds8n]

Peace brother it's all good

[@twincitys9837]

If you don't get it after that, you never will.... 🤘

[@Samt1958]

Got it! Thanks

[@txmaverick5406]

Just wish you had short-changed someone else's car instead of the one I need. LOL. I think I got it though, thanks for making it.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

It's very easy to do.

[@magichead79]

No stands and jack on dirt? Dangerous as hell.

[@travlincub321]

LOL, Great Rebuttle Tyler.. But please go back to you're old style

[@lewisgeorge777]

Lol that's what's up good work

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

That's correct, the rear sluts were replaced...lol.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

I can't slow down, the long-video haters will get me.

[@rangerpru]

no more soda for you, young man. ;-)

[@leesalsberry4595]

Hey brother who gives AF about what people think.. you be you brother.. I honestly would have preferred a more detailed video.. sure you got to the point quickly, but if people want to get pissed because you have a personality, they can just take their car to a shop or find another video..

[@javierescobar7896]

A like no bla bla bla
