@@thehemiolds455 I just did a brake inspection on my F-150 yesterday (which resulted in having to disassemble, clean, and re-lube the rear brakes). A couple of my buddies stopped by my shop and hung out. We've all done hundreds of brake jobs - it's all about hanging out, much like watching these SMA videos. Funny side note - prior to tearing into my truck, I stopped by my local Carquest and picked up a case of brake cleaner (it was on sale!) and immediately thought of Eric O.
Eric, it's not that we need to see every brake job you do... it's seeing someone who takes pride in their work and always does the work correctly! And your sense of humor always makes it enjoyable--no matter what you are doing! Thanks for posting, and keep up the good work!
Eric has even said a number of times that you can't have a brake job without brake cleaner. I think Russia has gotten involved and is negatively influencing Eric's stuff.
It’s not the cars or trucks you work it’s how you work on them. You explain things very well and the views you give are great. It’s like watching over your shoulder.
I wish he'd add like a cat going "Reow!" every time something crashed from falling. Like that one vid where the Mazda rotor flew across the room. CRASH! REOW! WOAH LIL FELLA!
The RAM meets the EWE!. More brake jobs, just for the sound effects, and more names for New York salt corrosion. From full on Can Bus interrogation to spannering. Many thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
I'll watch as many brake jobs as you can produce. By the way, your Chevy engine replacement videos save me 4K. Shop in TX wanted 6K, but I found a used one with 72K actual miles. Took me my son 3 days to swap it out. Most importantly, the boy learned tons; and he makes the dramatic "break cleaner" sound now. So, thanks 'ol boy for all the help.
Will watch EVERY brake job video. Learn something new every time! Ive actually gotten good at doing brakes now thanks to you. Love the FF Sheep sounder too. Bravo!
Regarding how many brake job videos we, the audience, have watched, the simple answer is lots. The unfortunate part of that is so many service people who make their living doing brake jobs have never watched any videos at all and it is reflected in the quality of their work. ( The last shop that touched any of my brake systems was a Honda shop and it was my motorcycle. When I left the shop I had to go down a back alley and out onto a busy street. Imagine my surprise when I sailed past the Stop sign and out into the street in front of a vehicle because, you guessed it, I had no front brakes. Seems the Tech had forgotten to pump the calipers up in his hurry to get it out the door and on to the next victim. The shop Foreman, the Tech, and the Shop Owner all swore up and down that all bikes were test driven before being handed back to the customer. ) So you keep making the videos and we will keep watching and maybe, just maybe, some of those "techs" will learn to watch with us so they can learn how to do it the right way instead of their way................just sayin
Bring it on Eric, we will watch them all. Saturday night treat, just came in from the garage and there is a new video from SMA, perfect, can of beer and a video. Brakes, clutch, head gasket we don't care, we just love watching.
Repetition is the key to learning. I think I watched Eric do that Honda Ridgeline timing belt three or four times before I got the courage to do my granddaughters Accord. There’s nothing like watching a pro to boost your knowledge and confidence. Thanks Eric!
In answer to your question: We will watch as many brake job videos as you post. Almost always learn something new - like electronic brake pads! Who knew???????
I have been there with the emergency throw it into park right before you hit your garage door because you forget to pump up your brakes. Gets the heart pumping!
How many brake jobs will we watch? ALL of ‘em!! It’s more than entertainment or information; it’s stress relief! I dare say three or four a day would keep me in trouble with the lil Mrs. for not gettin’ enough of my own projects done, tho’. Thanks, Eric, for sharing ‘em.
As many as you put out, but I also wanna see big nasty, brake cleaner and fluid film. Great vids, love that you don't curse, thanks for keeping it clean.
Crack me up, “ he was overwhelmed the other day “ , ur videos are entertaining, the music, the goat, as well as informative, reads like a novel. Thanks 4 ur effort to bring us these always fun repairs
Eric, honestly don't watch any other break jobs but yours. You just make it so much more involved and fun with your running commentary and insights. Hard to walk away from your videos :) Keep up the good work 👍
I watch every brake job video you do. I learn something on every single one. Usually several somethings. If you made four brake job videos a day, I’d watch them all.
I've done hundreds of these Ford/Fiat/European style front brakes, I could probably do them with my eyes closed. But I still watched and enjoyed the video. 👍
The return of Big Nasty, awesome new Fluid Film SFX AND a brake job... now my day is complete! The only thing that would make the video better would be a little snarky dialog between you and the lovely Mrs. O. Best to you and yours!
I would watch as many as you film if you are looking a number maybe a couple of thousand. Also like mattmanyam said We just want to hang out with a mechanic that takes pride in what he does. Also you are about the only youtuber that will show the mistakes, blunders and when things just go wrong in hopes we the people will learn from them. You have a sense of humor like no other You make me laugh!!
You have to do more a day in the shop videos. There are so funny your commentary is genius and hysterical. a the way you annoy your wife sometimes is also hysterical. I say every two weeks a day in the shop video should come out.
I like watching your brake job videos, each one has something a little different as far as hardware or fastners. I've learned a lot and did front brakes on my 2000 Chevrolet Astro van as a result. Thanks for taking time to make these videos.
I've seen enough brake jobs, however on a newer vehicle like this with a new wire or freakin sensor to deal with it is nice to see one done. Thanks for the vid!!!
For me I enjoy seeing all the different ways of doing something as simple as brakes. This video was the first time I saw a wire run into the brake pad. Glad you mentioned how it is expected to work. At the beginning I was just about to back it up to see when you removed the wheel studs and why. Then you mentioned it didn't have any. I think the wheels would be a lot of fun to change a flat in the rain! Then change the wheel hub because the threads are damaged from being cross threaded. And then the excitement of you removing the rotors. Wondering how many of your bones are going to get broken. (or cut your air hose) So keep them coming apparently there is a lot out there too see and enjoy watching.
Many years ago, before I even found any good car channels like this one, I started clicking the Not Interested option on every one of his videos TH-cam recommended and telling it I wasn't interested in his channel. I haven't seen one of his recommended for a loooong time and I definitely haven't gone looking for him.
We love your brake jobs you're a soothing voice during break time first time I've ever seen a plug-in brake pad see every brake job video it's worth the time I agree though didn't see any fhaahboom brake cleaner
Like all others ,i watch all your videos the only thing i do different on these type of brakes is to remove the rubber sleeve the slide pin goes in to on the caliper to remove the rust and apply lube if not the rust can squeeze on the slide pin thanks for all your videos Eric
I just got done doing a brake job on a 08 BMW 328 ND it was exactly the same as this but the sensor wasn't built into the pad it was removable, but I will still watch these vids and for that matter I will watch all your vids eric.
We watch you brake job and sometime get new trip from your great Mima and get to hang out with you again👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 there is great information that come out from SMA
Yes very true. I probably should have been more clear. I meant I had a brake job to do this afternoon at my shop. I do wish more people would attempt to go for it and do their own brakes. I always let them know it's extremely easy to do and id always give them some help or pointers if needed. 🖒
@@cobrasvt347 Oh, I thought you were scheduled to get your brakes done. I had my car at the stealership for some recall work a while back and some guy was quoted almost $700 for brake pads and replacing a stuck caliper. They probably don't even try to unstick them because they know they can scare people into an overpriced repair since it's dealing with brakes.
Whew ! 700 bucks ! Dang. The stealerships just keep on going up on everyone. What they are charging folks is just completely uncalled for. I hear customers talk about a lot of their experiences when dealing with a dealer. It's mind boggling what they charge and get away with. It's really sad they do that to people.
Ill watch all of'em. Its nice easy viewing nuts and bolts type stuff. Also, watching u has helped me to my brake jobs incredibly better. Im a DIYer. So i work on friends and family, and brakes are very common...as u may know lol
Thanks Eric, I have been watching for a few years now, I always enjoy and learn something to, must be out of brake clean today, Happy Easter to you and the family........................
I only watch yours, buddy! 😊 Oh, and I love the little lamb sound for Fluid Film! 😄 Interesting little truck there. I just did a car recently with a sensor in the brake pad - I was thinking to myself, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is this??" 😁 Think it was a newer Vee Dub - might have even been the one that's on my lift right now for a new oil pan. I know exactly what Peepaw Smith would've said regarding these newfangled sensors (TPMS and pad): "What the hell's the matter with people in the future? They stupid er somethin'?" 🤣 Speakin' of Vee Dubs ... got to get back out there & finish one - the parts just came in for it. Time to begin battle. Got the oil pan off, front member hanging. Got to zip off the oil pump, remove front engine mount, clean up the gasket surface, then install the new pump, o-ring & pickup tube/screen, then I can throw the brandy new pan back on, and wrestle with that engine cradle ... member ... whatever the heck they call the stupid thing. Might be the last one I ever do. What a PAIN. I started filming this one over a week ago - guess I've gotta finish. Going to be heavily edited for language, lol ... just like when you forgot to put the lube on the outer part of the caliper ... only alot more of that. 😜
It's not that we want to watch the brake jobs...
We just want to hang out in the shop with you.
Thanks for that!
every time a friend's dog escaped, she'd find him hanging out at the garage around the corner... I had to explain to her that it's a guy thing.
Totally agree
Yup! This is exactly it!
Yup! we all should meet up and bring brakeleen,and beer to the men cave at"sma"just see Eric o change brakes.HELL YEAH!!

We will watch all of your brake videos Eric o
Ummmm.... brake job and NO brake cleaner?!!??! I feel cheated ;)
You got the big nasty jingle and the brand new fluid film 'bahhhh'. I'd say, for the money, it was a pretty good episode. :D
No happy ending w/out brake clean :-(
No break clean....I’m hurt.
Eric has even said a number of times that you can't have a brake job without brake cleaner. I think Russia has gotten involved and is negatively influencing Eric's stuff.
man you cant use break clean with electronic break pads lmao
How many brake jobs will I watch? As many as you put up. Happy Easter Eric O!
It’s not the cars or trucks you work it’s how you work on them. You explain things very well and the views you give are great. It’s like watching over your shoulder.
3-4 break jobs videos a day? Sign us up!
You make em' we'll watch em'
Yea!!! FF sound effects!!! Bah Ram Euwhh!! My life is complete!! Thank You Mr. O!!!! Sweeet!!!!!!!
I wish he'd add like a cat going "Reow!" every time something crashed from falling. Like that one vid where the Mazda rotor flew across the room. CRASH! REOW! WOAH LIL FELLA!
I have done hundreds of brake jobs and I can always learn something new
The RAM meets the EWE!.
More brake jobs, just for the sound effects, and more names for New York salt corrosion. From full on Can Bus interrogation to spannering.
Many thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
This was NOT a video by Eric O of South Main Auto Repair !
The air compressor didn't turn on once during this video.
Something cathartic in brake jobs, can watch them all day.
Watching brake jobs is my zen... could watch you do them all day! Need a Big Nasty T-shirt option in your merch!
I'll watch as many brake jobs as you can produce. By the way, your Chevy engine replacement videos save me 4K. Shop in TX wanted 6K, but I found a used one with 72K actual miles. Took me my son 3 days to swap it out. Most importantly, the boy learned tons; and he makes the dramatic "break cleaner" sound now. So, thanks 'ol boy for all the help.
Will watch EVERY brake job video. Learn something new every time! Ive actually gotten good at doing brakes now thanks to you. Love the FF Sheep sounder too. Bravo!
i like brake jobs personally. there are so many different kinds of brake assembly so it's a great thing to make videos like this.
Finally I video where taking out old disk doesn't get skipped.. thanks a billion

The goat bahhing when you put on the fluid film was awesome.
It made me do a double take..
I thought it was WEAK, NO LIKEY. It should scare you kind of like the brake clean.
Sheep, not a goat. Can't you tell the difference? LOL
To those who might not remember, Fluid Film has lanolin - a product from sheep! Hence Eric's sheep noises while he sprayed the protectant...
That goat was a sheep. Fluid Film contains Lanolin from sheeps wool. It's what water proofs the sheeps wool.
@kat n al If the sheepies don't get sheered every season their wool just keeps growing. Then they have big woolie jumpers that weigh them down.
I can watch brake jobs done by you Eric O. all day long.
He has come along way from his first youtube videos. Definitely getting more and more comfortable in front of camera.
Nothing like the taste of salty iron dust in the morning. Great new sound affects. I watch every dang one.
I will watch all the brake jobs. Considering you're dangerously close to 300k subs, I'm certain I'm not the only one. Early Congrats, Mr. O!
I love doing brake jobs, and I love watching brake jobs. It’s just relaxing to me. 🤣😂🤣🤷🏾♂️
I was just looking for a SMA video and BAM 1 minute later a new video
Repetition is the key to learning. I think I watched Eric do that Honda Ridgeline timing belt three or four times before I got the courage to do my granddaughters Accord. There’s nothing like watching a pro to boost your knowledge and confidence. Thanks Eric!
I never tire watching a master performing his craft. I did notice that "every HAMMER has a TOOL end". Thanx 4 the vids.
Your videos are always educational. While the basics are always the same it's the little quirks you point out that make the difference
In answer to your question: We will watch as many brake job videos as you post. Almost always learn something new - like electronic brake pads! Who knew???????
Never enough brake jobs--keeps the lights on. Enjoy all your videos. Thanks, Jim
I like to watch your brake videos, I learn a lot about newer cars. Brakes are my favorite part of automotive repair

I watch ALL your brake videos 😜. But I missed the brake cleaner so I had my wife play the sound effect while I substituted using my own can. 😁
I’m learning about something new every time. Who knew European parts on a dodge. Thanks for the lessons.
Thank you for calling out what special tools i needed for this job just finished this on a 2019 promaster
Crack me up, “ he was overwhelmed the other day “ , ur videos are entertaining, the music, the goat, as well as informative, reads like a novel. Thanks 4 ur effort to bring us these always fun repairs
Sheep, not goat.
watched at least 60 - 11 brake jobs , enjoy all your videos, thank you eric O , yes I am old :)
Eric, honestly don't watch any other break jobs but yours. You just make it so much more involved and fun with your running commentary and insights. Hard to walk away from your videos :) Keep up the good work 👍
So satisfying to watch you do it not so much if I have to do the breaks.
I watch every brake job video you do. I learn something on every single one. Usually several somethings. If you made four brake job videos a day, I’d watch them all.

I echo others, no brake clean! But we got Big Nasty in action! I too would watch every brake job. Keep 'em coming!
Dr. O, I will watch every single brake job SMA releases. If they include brake clean its an added bonus for me👍
You can do all the brake jobs you like. I am amazed that I learn something new due to all the re-engineering that is going on.
Eric, Brake job, bulb replacement, just chat......Yeah I enjoy the visits with you. Keep on, keepin On! Happy Easter to you and yours.
Always learning something new.
Everyone of yours Eric. Happy Easter ❤️️
I watch all your brake job videos. They're all the same but they're all equally good.
Can't beat an SMA brake job !
You have to do more a day in the shop videos. There are so funny your commentary is genius and hysterical. a the way you annoy your wife sometimes is also hysterical. I say every two weeks a day in the shop video should come out.

Another great Brake Job.
Considering a ProMaster for camping.
Watched the vid to get a better idea of maintenance on the beast.
As long as your doing the brake job videos Eric O I can watch them all the time very entertaining
I watch all Your break jobs.. Cuz l watch all Your Videos..
If it's an SMA brake job I'm watching it. Keep creating the great content.
I've seen enough brake jobs, however on a newer vehicle like this with a new wire or freakin sensor to deal with it is nice to see one done. Thanks for the vid!!!
I just wanted to study but new SMA video appeared.... the rest is history.
I will watch as many brake job videos as you want to upload! Love the videos, keep up the good work!

I could watch Eric O. do brake jobs all day.
brake job videos never get old, keep pouring them out Eric!
Left scotty kilmers channel to watch this upload...
I used to kinda like Kilmer videos, once I got past the annoying borderline screaming. Is he losing his marbles? I've recently unsubscribed.
I just watch Scotty out of morbid curiosity lol
Watch Scotty so you know what not to do.
I guess he's pretty good about what NOT to buy as long as you like Toyota's or MT Honda's. I think his heart's in the right place.

Outstanding sound for the Fluid Film! Baa Baa LOVE IT!!!
You keep recording brake jobs and I'll keep hanging out in the shop with you. I wrench in the south, so watching you work in the rust belt is cool.
I remember Rose, and I’m the same age as you. When I was a kid it was on tv when I got home from school. We only had 2 channels back then.
We love being in the shop make anything U want we will watch
We watch you brake job and sometime get new trip from your great Mima and get to hang out with you again👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 there is great information that come out from SMA
I love watching brake jobs.
I got a brake job scheduled here this afternoon and yet I find myself watching you do one. LOL
Do it yourself and save a couple hundred dollars if it's anything other than pads.
Yes very true. I probably should have been more clear. I meant I had a brake job to do this afternoon at my shop. I do wish more people would attempt to go for it and do their own brakes. I always let them know it's extremely easy to do and id always give them some help or pointers if needed. 🖒

Sure glad I live in Florida, my 2014 GMC has 50k miles on it and the dealer says I still have 20 to 25k miles left on my pads. Great job Eric

I like as many as you post. I actually like the nuts and bolts videos.

That caliper dust went straight in my eye!! 🤪
Now I have to get a cup of coffee to enjoy with this vid. Life is good! Well, it sure beats the alternative.
AS I JUST DID, NICE.
Any day you're looking at the grass from the top side is a good day. ;-)
In most cases DaddyBean, in most cases.
Happy Easter Eric and family. Have a nice day! Thanks again for taking the time to produce top-notch video’s with excellent content.
I completely agree with notxarb21, we just love you and your family. keep up the good work dude.
This guy makes it look easy
I like watching brake jobs. I got a list of things you do now.
Another great one Eric O. I like the brake jobs, keep them coming.
