Yep that chirping noise means its close to failure. Mine just fell apart the other day and it starting chirping a few weeks before it failed. For the LONGEST time I was thinking this grinding noise was major piston damage, or engine damage, when it was my power steering belt, cutting into the side of my timing belt cover, becuase the rubber damper failed on the balancer pulley. The whole thing collapsed into itself, (Guessing that Is some type of safety design with the rubber, to stop it from flying off and causing major damage) I have a Honda Accord 1996 V6, so its a simple fix for me, just need to get the parts.

I had to replace the balancer on my 03 sorento because it came apart. But I wasnt so lucky taking the balancer off it took me 2 hours of yanking it and beating it with a hammer. Then when it finally did pop off it came out with the sprocket and messed up the timing belt. I was so freaking pissed off. What was suppose to be a fairly easy job turned into a nightmare. I had to take out the fan shroud, alternator, ac compressor, all the pulleys, belts just to put on a new timing belt. Oh and I had to pay someone to calibrate the belt because I didnt know how. Never again im gonna buy another kia vehicle!

I don't like to see anyone suffer but is nice to witness someone else having a bit of ass pain in trying to get something off with no room to work. Let's you know that you're not the only one. Not going to lie though. I cringed a bit about the brake clean on the timing belt. Yes, It'll be fine but still.

I love it when Eric says, at 18: 42 It would be a whole lot simpler to turn the camera off and just 'phut' with the gun. He is compelled by his true internal Grand Master Mechanic soul to do it right and could never ignore a _needed_ torque spec. It would give him a mental itch he could not scratch.

Good job. I live in a apartment. I have to do all my repairs in the parking lot. Or sometimes on bigger repairs at a friend's driveway. And yes, I use wheel chucks and Jack stands for safety. Also carry a pair of wheel chucks in my car for any emergency roadside repairs.

Jeez, talk about a company taking a good design (older RWD models with the in-line engine) and making it bad. Transverse engines and balancers. The older models were a lot easier with just the one piece crank pulley. Timing job was pretty straight forward on them too.

Do you read our comments, Eric? We know you're busy. Could you comment about your viewers some more? They are us. We would love to hear An 02 sensor feedback loop about your fans. You're good, dude. A star is born with that responsibility, my friend.

Hi, I know this is an old video but its still good today, I have a question about the anti seize lube your using, can I use my permatex to grease up my break pad ends that go into slider clips and the slider pins and rubber boots also?

OMG, Eric O. is making a salacious pun at 22: 25. Ha ha ha. One of my favorite things is how his language does not contain expletives. I am not shy about such words, but, as shown by Eric, their absence makes his lessons more powerful.
