Sway bar link removal advice 😎🔧#SwayBarLinks #MechanicTips #AutoRepair #DIYMechanic #MyMobile
My Mobile Mechanic 978 starts the week's most-watched new upload with an unusual instruction for a tutorial: "I highly recommend not doing this."
With locking pliers holding the sway bar link, the mechanic heats its stuck nut with a torch. He warns that a leaking strut could catch fire, then uses an impact wrench to spin the nut off. The repair is over in seconds, but the comments leave plenty to discuss: viewers suggest induction heating or cutting off the stud, while others ask about the holding tool and whether an Allen wrench would help.
The clip reached roughly 29,000 views, the largest audience among fifteen new uploads. Elsewhere, the week's titles promise set-screw removal without fancy tools, an answer to having no bore brush and a crayon pressed into service against rust. That last upload currently has the most momentum, followed by the shop-shenanigans clip and the set-screw tip.
Across the channel, weekly views topped four million and subscribers grew, even though daily viewing is running slightly below its usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, Driveway Finds also had a substantial week, while RamblinAround was quieter than usual. For My Mobile Mechanic 978, the new uploads keep the focus on small workshop obstacles, including a wheel hub assembly earning another exasperated title.

You’re better off, just taking an angle grinder and cutting the stud on the swaybar link off because you’re replacing them anyway. Even if you just have to take them off if it’s spinning like that, it should be replaced and it’s a cheap part. There are other tricks but that’s what I do
