Why don't people know how to work on cars so much anymore? Cause they don't fucking break like they used to!

They are also many times more difficult to work on now too. For example needing to remove the entire front bumper to replace a headlight casing or having to disassemble the entire center console just to replace a stereo.

I blame engineers and bottom liners for crap like that. My son sort of inherited a 2008 Jetta VW. Replacing the shift linkage, which is built like a toy in the first place, required removing the entire dashboard.

I fucking guarantee the majority of your right-wing friends think the vaccine is bad, the election was stolen and most covid-19 conspiracy bullshit.

Then you don't know anything.
NONE of my Friends think any of those things.

I quoted what the OP stated above.

My last post in this topic.

I know I said I wasn't posting anymore but you are wrong. The angle you took the screenshot from is covering the axle. Watch a little further when he is unbolting the caliper from the rear. Here let me help with a screen shot from the video I posted. Look that is not a spindle at all, Its a CV Drive Axle.

And this little gem you stated:

" All front tires, if rear wheel drive will STILL have an axle nut for the SPINDLE. I don't give clicks to rando sites especially posted by dishonest argumentative people. Such as yourself."

So you won't look at the evidence, but you are going to argue about what is in it. Puzzling...

That is also wrong ALL rear wheel drives do not have a spindle nut. My 2012 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner uses a hub without a spindle axle going through it. See below.

Dude give it up, Sport Tracs came only in RWD or 4x4, even this picture here CLEARLY SHOWS NO CV AXLE SHAFT.
Back to original argument about the HUB ASSEMBLY which you called me out on.

View attachment 91485

NO CV AXLE JUST A SPINDLE. ARE WE CLEAR YET? You are all over the map, the models model years platforms, who knows probably even brands. I even was going to try and click TWO of your videos which turned out to be screen shots so WTF with that? Huh? Just drop it. OP messaged me I gave MY OPINION, followed by a reputable youtube site, and also offered a REPUTABLE FORUM for his vehicle. So get off my back. before I infract myself for pure enjoyment.

HAS A FUCKING HUB ASSEMBLY DOESN'T IT, that was your original contention that there are not electronic hub assemblies to engage 4x4 from the switch or dial whatever you want to "subjectively" call it. It's right there in your post. It MOST definitely contains the ELECTRONIC ABS part of the vehicle DOES IT NOT??

Get out while you can or I will take you to PnN and eff you up submarine man.
Anyone a Professional mechanic tell me I'm wrong?

This is where I came into the Convo. The Geek wants to Peacock on me.

So now that we are here, in P&N Go fuck yourself, when you were 14 disc brakes were probably not even invented yet. You claim to be a submarine soldier but also some expert homegrown mechanic, but your incoherent posts show your starting down the dementia hole and I am really tired of your bullshit bothsidisms and you didn't do this when in the past you clearly did that.

Fuck off twat.

No, I don't even know who that is. Is he your doctor?

I highly doubt that since you've posted in multiple threads, this being one of them, where he is mentioned either directly in the thread or in a linked article.

But just so you can't feign ignorance, he's Florida's surgeon general. A typical conservative who has been caught falsifying data to fit the narrative that vaccines either do not work, or cause more harm than good.

The local hospital evidently has quite a few covid patients at the moment. The unvaccinated are still getting clapped is my best guess as to why there are so many hospitalizations. That and the percentage of elderly here in "god's waiting room".

Historic percentages of unvaccinated citizens, that's what's going on!

It is a lot more subtle than that.
There is a large subset of folks who got one, two, even three of the vaccines and declared that they were done.
Those are not anti-vaxxers by any stretch. They just suffered from their own kind of covid fatigue.
I've had 4 or 5 shots, can't remember now how many ( SEE HOW THIS HAPPENS?)
AAAaand I got caught out by the latest strain. I dillyfucked around and bingo.
I could have ended up in the hospital statistics.
Perhaps my recovery was aided by my most recent vaccination and semi-related antibodies.
More likely, I have a robust immune system and beat it back.
The broad brush wipes out all the data.

This should just be approached like the flu vaccine. I get the shot every year and could not tell you how many times at this point in my life. Now I'll just get the COVID shot when I get my flu shot every year.

Yep that's what I did 2022 and 2023 before the holidays. Done and done.

I fall here, I got the 1st 2, because my work required them to get the full discount on medical premiums, but I have not had any boosters, and will probably get nailed for even posting this ( Knock on wood) I never get flu shots, I got talked into it ONE time within the last 16 years, and I wound up with what must have been A flu sickness, Hadn't been that sick since being a child.

I attribute, myself to a high immune system, due to working environments. I am 1 point away from being able to be diagnosed with Lyme, I have antibodies for human Ehrlichiosis it is tick borne illness. So I had it at some point in time.

I meant to get the Covid boosters, especially after the variants started. But time, real life issues ect were prioritized. I have custody of 2 grandaughters that are in 1st and 2nd grade. They have closed school several times for illness. My son (their father) was working a job at a nursing home and supposedly caught his second covid infection from doing the laundry of the residents of the nursing home. As I've been told the resident that had it passed away.
He lives with us atm, (free babysitter but we still have legal guardianship)

I didn't get sick AFAIK from his being twice infected. But I work exclusively outdoors now, where I did not when Covid first hit.

I will never get a flu shot again, I am not anti vax, but flu is best estimates per year. Plus my bug bite ratio probably keeps my immune system in overdrive. Probably have a form of black mold in one wall of our bedroom, when we had a window ac unit there. Maybe it will end me early, IDK. My luck I would say not.

I am almost 51 btw, my skin has thinned on my hands, topside. It's like crepe paper. Even through gloves it tears easily.

To end this nonsense I am writing, my newest coworker, recently found out my age. He was in disbelief and I was told I carry myself as much younger, he is in his late 20's and thought I was in my mid to late 30s early 40s at most.

I work with some Anti Vaxers, due to Trumptardation. What can one do. Only what they feel is best I guess.

PC you can haha all you want but you are just too old, too humorous to put on ignore, and too fucking out of touch to realize you are not the once Navy Submarine soldier you claim you once were. You try to school me on auto, but your days where distributor caps, you do not know that auto 4x4 is a thing, electronic 4x4, where you turn the switch and you are instantly input in 4x4 auto or high, LOW requires full stop and park or neutral to engage 4x4 LOW.

I am baiting you here, because I won't be infracted. But please tell me my knowledge on Ford Explorers is beyond my intellect. One more time please. Just prove to everyone I AM the IDIOT you are trying to proclaim.

@pcgeek11

I brought it to P&N so I could speak forthright to you.
