I am at a loss on just about all he said on the video

Muffler Bearing----- although I saw this same thing on eBay, I have never heard of anything like this. I am just taking it as a Auto Zone type thing, or totally a joke.

Loved the Clamp he put on the pipes to seal them, after just cutting them ***** nilly.

Loss of words

I wonder if Redpants has a Video on how to do muffler bearings on an Aston , they have to be more difficult and way more expensive to change than on a crappy mustang .
And be sure to used purified distilled and softened blinker fluid in your Aston is only available OEM .

The bearing would be slightly below $1200 a piece because it needs to be hardened with unicorn tears.

I've never heard of blinker fluid before so I called my Brother-in-Law and asked him about it. He owns a used car dealership with a decent repair shop.

The good news is he says he can get some that is equivalent to OEM for a lot less. He said replacing it is very technical but if I leave the car with him over a weekend he'll do it for cost. He said it will take his guy 3 hours to do it ($75/hour family rate) and the blinker fluid he can get from a wholesaler for $100 plus shipping.

The bad news is that he says my headlight pistons need to be replaced. That's going to cost $200 each, but since one new headlight is $1200 I guess it would be stupid not to do it as long as it will be in the shop anyway.

True story .
I was in the line up at the BMW parts counter waiting to get something for her Z4 and the guy in front of me asks for windshield fluid . Counter guy points to the no name fluid on the floor by the counter . Customers reply "but thats not BMW windshield fluid wont it void my warranty?" True story I kid you not .
I bet he went round to the service bay after and asked for the special OEM BMW summer air in is tires ..

Be sure to top off your blinker fluid after lubing your muffler bearings, you shouldn't need to change them every time, just add a little lube! The Blinker fluid reservoir cap is near the access point for the bearing, so be sure to kill two birds with one stone!
