Eric- yes- the work is "routine", but your presence, personality, commentary, and workmanship is why (most of us) watch your videos.
Worked for Goodyear for 8 yrs. A tech did a brake job and didn't pump up the brakes when he was through. A tire service guy, we called them GMs, did his thing and then drove the car out.. Did he ever.. He reversed right through the overhead door screaming 'No brakes No brakes!' Wrecked the car, destroyed the overhead door, and nearly hit the service manager, all in about 5 seconds. I'll never forget that!
Adam Trombino I saw that also
What's funny, in a non funny way, is that happened to me once, though I didn't crash... We were 3 techs down due to illness, and I was servicing 3 bays at 1 time. I did a brake job and forgot to pump up the pedal. I got called away and came back to it later. The service manager was about to pull that car out when I said that I needed to take it for a ride, break the brakes in.. He was lucky that I did. I dropped the trans in R for race, and low and behold.. no brakes! I had the brainpower to stomp on the E brake pedal and come to a screeching halt about a foot from a wall. The whole shop went silent, then erupted with laughter. The lead tech said 'Let me guess what happened?' I was stoned white, as I figure all of my blood went to my feet. After my test drive, my service manager asked me how the brakes were, and gave me a wink.. Wasn't gonna live that 1 down anytime soon. That was 1997, and my friends still make fun of me for it!
@Adam T
I think we ALL have that happen at one time or another and anyone who says otherwise is probably lying...
I'd have hit drive to nearly stop it and jammed into park. almost as if I've had brake failures before or drove manual vehicles without any brakes (shh)
Adam Trombino---- i saw a guy do this about a month ago. Working as an advisor at chrysler, i stayed late to change the cap and rotor on "granny", my 99 altima. Tech was doing front and rear brakes plus a few gaskets. This guy threw it in drive because it rolled back on him. He forgot he did this so when he started the car.... Slam!!!! It sounded like an explosion!!! I never let him live it down! Ahhhahah
Eric really goes above and beyond! Any dealership would just slap a new rotor, caliper and a pair of brake pads on and call it good.
that what i do too
PuchMaxi you are right on the money that's all they do.
That's why his parking lot is always full.
Thumbs up for 3 brake clean appearances!
nothing is better than a good old nuts and bolts video...especially brakes...
I did my last brake job exactly as you show and it has so far lasted a lot longer than the one I did before that! Thanks!
That wire brush action on the front rotor is no doubt after an XXXXL Duncan Donuts dark roast, extra strong, left over from yesterday coffee with 6 sugar and 6 cream !.
Gotta order me some of those hub cleaning discs.
The "routine stuff" is still interesting to watch. A triple shot of Brake Clean is a bonus.
Paul Lenzen I bought the otc hub cleaner at oreillys for 12 bucks great tool
I believe in add-on sales, especially when you see something else that needs work. This vehicle could probably use some suspension work but Eric is always focused on the task at hand and the reason why the customer brought in the vehicle. Professional and careful...I wish all techs were like that!
South main auto repair thanks for taking the time to record and edit these videos no matter how many times its a similar job it's always awesome to see the small differences and the techniques you use to complete a professional job it's always a pleasure to see these videos
Watching your brake job videos are so therapeutic.
3 doses of Brakleen, and a ride through a pretty little town of Avocado. Very nice video!!!
Enjoy listening to your humor, amazed at the amount of knowledge you share with your viewers (Me Included)! Not sure if you are a Master Mechanic, but you sure are a Master Educator! Thank you for all your videos!
I love the care you take will doing the jobs, SMA customer is really a lucky customer.
At least those roads keep you busy in ball joints
Eric, I know this is an old video and you probably won't read my comment, but...I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge, experience, and technique with us. You've saved me so much money and given me an invaluable education in how to take care of my own vehicle within the bounds of my capability. You saved me hundreds of dollars on a brake job on my Hemi Ram, and I know it's done right with far more attention than any parts swapper is going to do at the local swap shop. I've done my own brakes for years, but I had no idea the proper lubrication points and the fine detail stuff. Makes all the difference in the world. Seriously man, can't thank you enough.
Thanks for sharing your technique. I always tell the apprentice Be 100 percent the brakes feel good before you walk away from the car!
I still laugh at the Brakleen bit lol......Brake jobs with Eric O never get old ;-)
Holy cow! Eric O. actually putting lube ON the sliders instead of just underneath them. Way to Go Eric O!
3 epic brake clean appearances?! Makes up for all of those missed ones! You are too good to us Eric O!
Excellent job . I wonder why would anyone complain on how you do brake jobs , the important thing is, there installed properly and the occupants in the vehicle will be safe. Too many critics..thanks for the video.
Perfect 👌🏾 vid for a Sunday morning coffee and then church
We have a weather warning for tonite also ! Suppose to cool down in to the low 60's tomorrow🌵
Well try to stay warm....
its good to have brake vids for different vehicles, I have 12 ram and have done the brakes once already but I still watch because I always end up learning something from you.
I love small towns and Avoca looks like a really nice one.
These jobs never get old!
Always learn a tidbit or 2
Thanks, once again, for a fine vid
I'm not a mechanic at all, so even though you have done a few videos on doing break jobs to me it never gets old !!!!!!! Thank's for doing the video's. I have started to get a collection mechanic tools because of your video's. So a BIG THANK YOU to you and your video's. It's probably good to know some basic mechanics living in Canada...
Great video. The placing the top pin and hinging it down is a great tip. Thanks.
Eric another great video . Love your garage door opener. You need to wear a dust mask to stop all the brake , rust and salt dust from going up your nose. Stay healthy !!!
EO, since I found your channel I've watched only you. You've envigorated me. Once I started riding motorcycles I haven't had the urge to do any auto work outside of oil changes and brakes. I really enjoy what you are doing. You have an easy going manner. Much success to you and your family...
When I saw you take that load of brake rotors to the metal recycling depot, you gave us an impressive visual index of your shop volume. With such a huge volume, it is reassuring to learn of complications you've not yet seen. That said, in another field I found that even rare complications have a way of biting into the confidence gained of experience. We now live up a steep hill with a T intersection at the bottom, so a spongy pedal adds a whole nuther pucker factor.
I’m really spoiled three brake kleen intros in one video and they still never get old
In Chicago we call it "taking our half in the middle", it a little more exciting in Chicago traffic!
I always love to see how a brake job is done at SMA. I know most viewers get tired of them but practice makes perfect. I can remember being told that you're supposed to seat the brakes properly by doing several quick 40mph stops in consecutive order to heat the pads sufficiently. I don't know how true that is but old habits are hard to break. I like the Eric O. way better, honestly!!! Great video.
heating to seat is OK, but careful you don't overheat and glaze/crack them
Brake jobs never gets old! Keep them coming! :). That spray and stay is rubbish. Tried it on my Little boy, it doesn't work ;)
ANd he was hard to hold on to when you did catch him!?
Haha yes sir! :)
Niamh Healy I just use those giant shipping staples. A little dramatic at first but works like a charm.
Duct tape...lol..
Justin Cooper OR VELCRO!!
That instant stay construction adhesive really sticks'em to the chair! Give'em a couple of cookies, let it dry for a minute, and THERS YOUR SOLUTION, LADY!!
I am a disabled vet and used it on my scooter and wheelchair and it holds up better than fluid film. Keep up the great videos.
I have a problem with my 2006 scion xa with 150k miles. The cigarette lighter does not work I replaced it and the fuse and still have the same problem. When I plug something into it the radio goes off but it does not lose stations. I am at a loss .
Brakes done like a boss.
Thanks for another great video, you are very thorough and I think, go beyond the normal mechanic brake job.
I love the 'nuts and bolts' stuff
You may have done a lot of brake videos, but I learn good stuff from every one.
I take those extra steps now after watching all your brake videos. Thanks Mr. O.
You need a spray wash that's driven over to remove that salt. Since the city/county put it down, have your driveway slightly higher at the shop. So all the salt and water run back to the street where it belongs! Not a long carwash, just a quick spray under the vehicle. Another Great Video!
You do 'em exactly the same way I've been doing them for as long as I can remember, passed down from grandpa and my dad. I even use the same brake lube, AND the same brake cleaner. 👍 Haven't had one come back yet either ... except after 50k miles or so. :)
Saw that late 90's Suburban or Tahoe there in your lot there - we gonna see a vid on that one? Neighbor has one with 290k miles on it. Was repainted, and frame sandblasted and painted too, before the rot got her. On it's OE engine, and second transmission from what I've been told. I miss my '94 K1500 - the GMT400 platform was as tough as a barrel of bricks. A far cry from the POS GMT900 I'm driving now. I had less trouble with the '94 at 266k miles than my '07 with 92k .... but I digress. 😊
For the people saying that the permatex lube seizes the pins....they are probably installing to much,causing the pin to hydro lock the bore
ketcamaro yeah I've done it more isn't always better.
Either that or they're using synthetic grease on the pins, which causes the pin with the rubber ring around it to swell.
for some that's OCD (me), you do a great and complete job. I'm thinking some mechanics don't do all the cleaning and lubing on these brake jobs.
That lube you use eric o. is good stuff .I use it to don't have any problem with it good video eric o. thanks
I used it when I first started at my current shop. I had never seen it before. So we'll see what happens when my first brake jobs I did come back for inspection in a few years.
As always Eric, thank you for another great instructional video and a bit of entertainment..
I enjoy brakes, shocks, ball joints, tie-rods, universal joints, CV axles, and just about anything suspension associated...I guess I enjoy just about everything!
Thanks again and say hello to everyone on your end!
Had to do the rear brakes on my 05 F-350 last week, every 3 years (30,000kms 19,000 miles) I have to replace the rear calipers the driver side one of the pistons was busted up in chunks. The passenger side the top piston was sticking had to replace that caliper too, so 550 dollars in parts later my truck got new pads and two new calipers. I've done brakes so much on Ford Superduty trucks I can do it in my sleep. I use the same brake lube on all my brake jobs never had caliper slide pins seize up and the brake pads move freely in the caliper bracket. I'm a firm believer in the purple stuff it works, pulling the brakes apart on my F-350 every 3 years or so and things are easy to come apart.
the more weight, the more braking force applied to the rear, probably finding out they're factory "undersized" when hauling heavy loads constantly.
For us calipers come semi loaded so a cleaned up rebuilt bracket comes with the new caliper, since I started using the purple brake lube sticking pins hasn't been an issue. I went back to using Motorcraft pads been using Raybestos wasn't really impressed with them.
The 99 to 04 has smaller rear brakes than the 05 to current 250-350 trucks, they also use a different manufacturer for caliper on the 05 and up trucks. The rear brakes do get used on my truck I don't haul heavy but I live in the hills.
I've used that wd-40 stuff as touch up/missed spots for fluid film undercoating, works just as good as I can tell.
Awesome video as usual. Very informative and excellent example of a full brake service. Got to love those salted roads of NY. I do not spray any corrosion inhibitor in the hubs but apply a very small coating of antisize compound with great results.
Introducing the all new 2018 Eric'Omatic now featuring +20% RPM's on last years model (5:46), 1st 200 sales come with free case of brake clean. Very nice work Mr'O ;)
Would you look at that, I'm finally just about right on time for an SMA video for once! Great video, Eric!
I had one of "those days" at work today. On the drive home I thought, "I hope there's a new SMA video today." Delivered. Thank you, sir.
some really cool ol homes around your shop
Thanks Eric, always good to have a refresher video on brake pad replacement
Used the spray and stay on my overhead garage door last year... was never really too loud to start but definitely rolls smoother and quieter now and never saw a drop on the floor... did have a few with PB Blaster garage door lube few years ago.
Dr. Skip here,
I use the WD silicone spray for the windows glass tracks. Spray in both sides with straw attachment, run up and down twice. That makes the windows move sooo much easier. Mine are hand crank..
45 miles North of us is a town called Redfield, N.Y. Try 300" s of snow - yepper -you read that right.. we get lake effect storms.. thom of OZ
Good job Eric 3 brake cleans in one brake video amazing after ride on them rough roads you can take it back to the shop and weld some ball joints in it lol
We 40 gel is awesome I sprayed it on some rust on my truck 2 years ago and still looks the same
Good to know!
My first day at a shop the guy that was showing me the ropes did a brake inspection and o.c on a 08 grand cherokee he pushed in the pistons all of the way in to make sure they didnt have to buy a caliper.so 2 hours goes by they said hey move that jeep off of the lift.i fired it up put it in reverse and about lost my mind pumping the pedal and thru it into neutral thankfully didnt hit anyone or anything scared the living fecal matter out of me tho.so lesson learned before going anywhere pump the pedal..
I just changed my front brakes on my 2012 dodge 1500 4×4 ..after watching our video..cool thanks brakes work great 👍
Been following for a couple years now, good job sir.
Thanks for the great vids, Keep doing the brake videos they are very educational.
Only the finest parts quality in FCA products.
Used the wd spray and stay goop on my jeep Cherokee door hold open contraptions that like to stick and put stress on the hinges. Stayed on all winter so far. think I may hose down the underside for rust prevention after its next wash. Thanks for the idea!
Such a pretty town you live in! Love me some coffee, Sunday morn and SMA :)
I use thin film of regular grease...sometimes brake grease between the hub and the rotor and the rotor and the wheel. I started doing this after a very bad experience with a mazda brake rotor that would not come free from the hub on one of my parents vehicles. I also include at least one panic stop in the test drive. Make sure it is tracking straight.
I always use anti seize between hub and rotor
Yep that works great too
Same here. I've got it between the unit hub, and the knuckle on my Jeep, and whenever I need to pull them off they practically fall off!
Perfect!!!! Justin time,A good reason to stay in the parking lot an not go in for church on Sunday.ha😙😙 the breakleen finely showed up.😂😂😂👌👌
I will watch any break service video you put out. I don't know why but I love them. I also like any video with "big nast" in it. Keep up the good work.
Another great video. A little extra attention to detail makes a big difference!
Nice. I enjoy touring Avoca with you. Cool outside retrofitted enclosed staircase on house you pass about 18:50.
The purple extreme is fantastic .
Since watching your videos I bought a case of Fluid Film so nope, WD will have to wait. Judging from the comments so far it seems your Sunday morning posts are popular. Your work is always "complete". That last 10% you put into verifying your repairs is uncommon elsewhere.
You do good work Mr. O. Thought you were going to the coated rotors? Thanks for the great video!
Some of the Brake Pad Break in procedures are insane slam on brakes at 45mph 5 times then Light brake pressure at 15mph 8 times then Medium slam on brake 10 times at 50 like Come on With these company's that make brake pads they all have a different procedure I tend to do the sane as you Eric O they don't need to be 300 degrees to Brandish the pads they just need to be used to Mary the pads to the rotors good video Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
I have done quite a few brake jobs and never had any problems until one day with an old Buick Riviera with anti-lock brakes. I backed the calipers up with clamp without opening the bleeders (front brakes) and fouled the antilock mechanism with debris, which never worked correctly ever again. So I learned to never do that trick again. Once was enough for a lifetime. Hope you never encounter such. Of course no replacement parts were available due to vehicle age.
I told the cops that I drive in the middle cause it's smoother he wouldn't buy it ☹ I always learn a lot enjoy your videos
Eric, add to your post or pre brake job test ride hit all four rotors with your infrared temp gun. You can catch allot of seized calipers and hung up pads or parking brake shoes and it only takes 30 seconds to do all four wheels
I was up there for that nice snowy Wednesday. Ugh. Once again thanks for the suggest on x4 snows the Prius is a beast lol
G'day, Mr. O! I enjoyed the video! Terrific job on the replacement, front pads, and rotors on a 2013 Non-Hemi, Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. It maybe pretty routine, but I always learn something new! Thank you! Cheers! :-) 😊❤️🚚
love your simple caliper lock up test.......common sense is worth a lot
Can also just feel if the wheel is hot - might get a burn so be careful.
Love the purple ultra extreme. Since switching to it over a year ago and having done well over 200 brake jobs in that time I have yet to have any issue with it whatsoever. I am up here in the salt belt too (CT.) so if it were going to fail it would have by now. Also were is that shop that grinds ears and tosses hardware? Would love to educate them. LOL just kidding, but really? Keep up the great work brother. Salutations to you Mrs. O and the rest of the SMA fam....
Looks so much like Cortland New York lived there for about a year loved it and the snow. Not far from your town Eric.
Started using the permatex ceramic brake lube - great stuff!
You've got the best damn tools for everything, don't you? I love that piston tool. Never seen it!
Link in the description box :)
The new WD kinda looks like that fancy kitchen baking spray, but in a far more economical large size....Hmmmm....I wonder.
Kboomarang FINCH you can only cook your last meal in WD40, but hey you can do anything once
You got a guy that doesn't believe in brake hardware. In my town we got this guy that puts on caliper bracket bolts finger tight!
most vehicle **caliper pin bolts** only torque to 14 to 25lbs which isn't much, finger tight is too loose thought!
forgot to say caliper pin bolts it seems and clearly misread where he said caliper brackets and not slide/pin bolts :(
Throttle bottle- caliper bolts are typically torqued to 20 ft lbs or so. Caliper BRACKET bolts are torqued to about 80 ft lbs
Yeah I heard that Tom... I think I know who he is too!
finger tight and this guy has no problem sleeping at night?? i at least picked up a cheap harbor freight torque wrench when i rebuilt my front end on my dodge plow truck.
FrugalPrepper--- thats master tech status
Nothing better than the free salt infused water shower underneath the truck during the winter!
nice, I didn't realy need the welcome back, was in the middle of SMA when this popped up. I"m always in the middle of some SMA, even at 2AM watching some chivy FPCM Diags
I can’t believe you did that brake job... so well 👍🏻
it's no fun trying to explain to the customer why the brakes failed in 3K or are nearly on fire from stuck hardware in under 300 miles. or another shop ends up doing it and you get the flunky marker. best to just do it right the first time :)
Well done. That is such a sweet little town. But dipped in SALT and snow!
JP Stone Salt bad snow good!
Main Street has its own suspension testing built in.
that's the northern states for you, more specifically the "rust belt"
Wow 3 doses of brake clean. I almost forgot that you use that lol. Thanks for the video.
I've read a few people having Honda caliper pin rubber boot swelling problems with the purple Permatex. I personally use 3M silicone for the pins. Looks like Permatex has an 80653, reformulated to be compatible with EDPM and nitrile rubber. I know the purple Permatex is very wash-resistant. That stuff loves to stay on anything it touches.
I've ran into that on various vehicles, with other caliper and pin grease types, seems most common with aftermarket rubber hardware..
I used ceramic brake lube for years works great!! I’ve been using gold never seize on bracket to hardware surface... I like it a lot... just my 2 cents
What is boring to you buddy...is eye candy for the rest of us. Keep the bolts and washer videos coming, as they make several of your loyal viewers happy. Just saying......
Whoaa!!! Got those lug nuts off in a hurry. Do much Krispy kreme and coffee? Just kidding, no such thing!
What? Brake cleaner is for brakes???
Gravy job that was a long test drive. What cordless impacts do you use and how well do they work?
