Hi Eric. Thank you for the video. I realized without your pleasant demeanor, enjoyable commentary, determination when faced with adversity, your humor, and experiencing your gratification and pride at a job well done I likely would not be watching. Please bring back Eric the Car Guy. Yep. He is pretty awesome. This video brought the be safe, and stay dirty. It left out the best part. Fun. Thank you for all the enjoyable, educational, fun videos.
Love it. Iv'e recently been getting into ASMR channels on TH-cam as it helps with anxiety and to quiet my mind. Sometimes we need to just listen to the world around us instead of being loud ourselves. This is how inner peace can be found. Everyone has their own form of meditative practice and it seems even performing a world-class brake job can be that very practice. Thanks for trying something new and making great content as always!
If only more mechanics were this thoughtful and professional about their work instead of trying to beat their time and doing it quickly often missing some things. I do all of my work just like this. This is my business card and is the best way to keep my customers. I never lost one since I’ve started back in 92.
Too cool!!! Thanks Eric, great content as usual. Way to think outside the box sir, have seen (listened to) nothing like this. I could use this as bedtime relaxation. I have watched a few weeks new content and am VERY GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK!!! Missed your videos bro. 🔧🛠️
I couldn't go that long without answering the voices I have in my head, they have some great ideas sometimes. Well done Eric. Interesting video for us " visual learning types"
i appreciate that doing the commentary for your videos must be so time consuming, but it is precisely your wonderful personality, wit and humour that have led me to watch all your videos for a few years now.. please don’t change
Eric you are going to cost me money. Video reminds me just how much I like working in my cars, and just how much it would be easier with a lift rather than ramps and stands. I know this may be weird by the strumming of the brake shields and the slight clang they make just tickles me right.
Thats weird. I never came across ASMR, but in this video is like I'm right there. The sounds are so real that shakes your brain. How do you record it to be so vivid ? Fantastic Eric. Thank you
I used 2 different mics and mixed the sound in post. The most important thing is there was very little ambient noise outside the shop. A very rare thing. Between the truck repair shop next door, the independent truckers that park in the lot, the traffic, and the road construction out front, there is always a lot of noise. On this particular weekend, Halloween weekend, there was none of that. I took advantage and recorded this video. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment.
I'm in Quebec. One of the worst place in the rust belt. It always bewilders me how easy a brake job is out of the rust belt. This brake job would not last 2 years here. The pads would seize in the brackets from rust swelling behind the clips after the first winter. I have use a heavy hammer to remove the pads from the bracket on a regular basis and it often take several hard blows to get them out. Amazing.
i actually bought a set of 2 pliers from Mac for those horse shoe clips for the park brake levers. one set is for removal and one is install. i was always using needle nose and a screw drivers, slipped one to many times. haven't had a chance to use them yet, we don't do many park brake shoes or drum brakes any more.
To me, ASMR is the manly sound of your voice telling us the problems to look out for/avoid. Your narration is always crisp & distinct. Your voice matched with your dry humour is part of your channel, please bring it back. That said, great video and work ethic as always, thank you Eric. Kind regards from Galway, Ireland 😉👍🍻💚
Hello Ireland! I had a unique set of circumstance afford me the opportunity to make this video. ie: no noise outside the shop. A very rare occurrence. I'll be back to the regular videos in the next installment. I appreciate the feedback. Have a great weekend.
@@ericthecarguy You too Eric, BTW there was no criticism intended, I'm so 'old school' I had to find out what ASMR was 🙄😂🤣 With no sound I was watching thinking, Jeez Eric is in bad form today, something has pissed him off!! 🤣😂🤣
Awesome video as always! the work displayed with no commentary def reminds me of Primitive Technology youtube channel. that said, i definitely like your commentary.
Reminds me of cechaflo. A channel I watch to brush up on my upholstery skills! He’s a real master in the upholstery industry! I would also say that you’re a master in the automotive (particularly honda) industry! 😀
It’s funny. I originally found your channel because of an ASMR viewing session. YT suggestions listed one of your videos. Then about a year later, I searched for Drum brake replacement. You popped up again. That’s when I subscribed. Been 8 years now. :)
There is no problem with background dialogue or other audio so long as it is properly " normalized " which many TH-cam channels do not accomplish satisfactorily . A good example of audio " balance " & " level " are the " School of Rock " ( shameless plug ) postings. None-the-less Eric does a great job here of fetching you into the content with all the right sounds and innuendo ! Rave On ETCG I & II, . . .Rave On !
Nice 1, Eric and great cam work too. There's something strangely satisfying about renewing a vehicle's braking capabilities! The drum skim a pain in the valve though, eh?! 👌🏻🙌🏻
I discovered the parking brake system on my Caravan. It was super corroded, so I just removed it all. Had to cut my rotor off. I replaced my calipers, rotors and pads and called it could. I don't live in San Francisco, so I ain't worried. I have a 2007 Lecus ES350 I bought in California. Not a speck of corrosion.
honestly a true ETCG viewer/subscriber would just self commentate the video in their head. I say this because i just caught myself doing it in my head lmao
I'm still stumped as to why. Parking brake shoes vs Drum brake shoes (drum brake being twice the braking material thickness) or the wrong rotors..... Something was incorrect.
@HouseCallAutoRepair Aftermarket parts sometimes don't fit like they should. That was the reason I had to do this. If they were OE parts they would have gone together without issue.
Man o man. No flat rating that baby. U can really do the fine work when u want to. Kidding. Not even an impact or electric ratchet. The brake Police must have been over your shoulder
Maybe I’m crazy, but these sounds actually helped me to relax and I eventually fell asleep… 😴 😂 Eric, you are a healer, this is alternative medicine/aural therapy! 😉
I miss the voice, but super informative without words. Good video, though I agree, as a shade-tree mechanic, I can't stay quiet that long without making noise or answering the thoughts out loud.
Cool. Ya sure gotta watch those fragile rear brake shields. It's a stupid design and a big job to change them. The whole backplate needs to come off (err, no thanks!). My testing guy said, that as long as you remove both sides, it's not a 'fail' point. Mine both disintegrated anyways so I didn't have a choice. Haven't noticed any downside yet...
The Sounds of Silence was loud and clear. Wonder what thoughts were on your mind during this filming... As usual, great things from Mr. Eric. Know the sounds well and can certainly relate. Sometimes, quiet working is soothing...😴
Great video Eric! I hope those rotors hold up better than the slotted Brembo rotors on my old Civic. I used them during the winter and the slots packed with rust and the pulsation in the pedal was terrible.
Greetings Eric while you have the Element on the lift I will be right over so you can check out the rear calipers on my 04. I enjoy the videos on the Element
Eric just a thought might be a cool little video something short that you could test that rust encapsulator like a side-by-side with non-protected steel and then the encapsulated steel, leave it outside or whatever do some speed up with some vinegar salt I don't know and see how well it works I think that would be a cool video.
Hi Eric . Another excellent informative video . I use the exact same bleed bottle . Old lemon 🍋 bottle with the nipple connection. Perfect 👍🇺🇸 I also use the plastic cap off a cake decorating sprinkle bottle on the axle nut keeps salt & dirt out especially with winter tires with no hub caps . They fit perfectly on the Honda hub . Just tap on with a hammer . 👍
Love it! Music to my ears! Played this in the background as I edited some videos!
You’re such an inspiration Chris! 🙂
Nice!
Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it helped with the editing.
@@ericthecarguy What do you normally use on those slip pins where the caliper mounts? grease or anit-seize? I've seen people swear by different things..
@@calholli Special silicone based, non-metallic brake lube. Anything else would need cleaning off and renewing every 3 months...
The sound recording is phenomenal! Every little bit makes the exact right noise, almost like post production sound in a movie.
Thank you! I worked pretty hard to get that part right.
@@ericthecarguy Your film training really shows in this video!
@@ericthecarguy The sound is actually so well recorded, that i can close my eyes and still know what you're doing by sound alone. :))
Even with no dialog you can still go backwards and forward and use this as a teaching video, thanks Mr. Eric.

Great video!!! I normally don't like ASMR but this is a very productive one seeing how stuff gets done. Thanks for the great upload!
Thank you!
I literally used this to fall back asleep last night at 2am.
Clutch assist Eric!
Of all the videos of your that I have watched, and I have watched just about all, this is the one that I love. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.

I never lost one since I’ve started back in 92.
This is soothing sounds, I can definitely take a nap to this.
The sound and visual storytelling is to die for. Exquisite haha. Loved getting to see the satisfying process. Very well made video, good work.
Kind of a new experience with this video. I love it.
I miss your commentary! It reminds me the joys of my everyday in the field for the last 20 years.

I took a nap earlier today to this. Very different kind of video but just as enjoyable.

You're the only other person I have seen with that GP socket set aside from me. That is awesome. I bought Mine a LONG time ago and theyre great.
I still have the 10mm too.
I have to say, you're probably the last TH-camr I would have expected to make a video like this. But it's a pleasant surprise.

Great video Eric......fixed my honda1996 civic 3 times just by watching your videos...great stuff man....from Cape Town S.A.
VERY COOL, Eric! Kinda' missed the quick-witted banter, though, but it was nice to hear the sounds as they occurred. Thanks!

First time I've seen a fluid extractor for bleeding the breaks, looks like it makes a far easier job.
ive seen em before but not like that. did some searching but i think that same one can be found at the home de pot and is the 2.7 gal size
Great garge sounds and backgrounds for a good night sleep 😴 💤 great video.
I've been watching you for 12 years and this is my fav video besides the welded balljoint
Thanks heaps Eric for all your advise here!

Nice video. The rust proofing is a must in the north, even just fluid film. I usually stick with local parts stores for brakes for the warranty.
Eric really gives the people what they want. Long live the King.
Great video Eric. I watched it when I got home from night-shift before hitting the sack. It was very cathartic
Eric, I love seeing a master craftsman doing his thing. A perfect job and not one word of dialogue. Excellent job sir. Big Al.
Sort of reminded me of a Fix-It Angel video but with cooler sounds. Well done.
This is great but I like Eric's narration and jokes as well!..
Awesome video as always! the work displayed with no commentary def reminds me of Primitive Technology youtube channel.
that said, i definitely like your commentary.
Now that's how you do it Eric great job I wish every mechanic was like you apparently not

ASMR has the opposite effect on me compared to most people but the shop sounds did remind me of part of my childhood. I could almost smell it too.
I was expecting a middle aged man coming way too close to my ears. But this turns out to be brilliant - would love to see more of this, Eric ❤
Wow! This video is really raw and amazing. I love it
Legend. No talking at all and some good work. 👌
Everyone should have one or two of those Milwaukee battery powered impact drivers. Those things are AWESOME.
Yep. A must have. Haven't used my Ingersoll Rand air powered impact gun in months.
They are awesome. I've had the big fuel since it came out 6 or 7 years ago. People were blown away.

just about the only asmr i can get into. thank you
I must have watched so many of your videos, I swear I still hear your normal commentary in my head
If there is something I love about Eric The Car Guy is that he still uses the plastic soda bottle to bleed the brakes, same as he did 12 years ago.
How awesome is it to have the right to tools for the right job.
Nice 1, Eric and great cam work too.
There's something strangely satisfying about renewing a vehicle's braking capabilities!
The drum skim a pain in the valve though, eh?! 👌🏻🙌🏻
Is it just me, but whenever I see a Honda Element in the wild I can't help but think of Eric! LOL
When You just watched ChrisFix video and there is Eric's video with no talking.
This video makes me realize how great your videography is. Nice!
Excellent. Moving artistry.
(Missed your running commentary though…🤷♂️👍)
Crazy man! Can work for such a long time and not talk to him self. I knew Eric was from outer space!
I find it hard to get through a job without emitting some indication of frustration at least once :)
I discovered the parking brake system on my Caravan. It was super corroded, so I just removed it all. Had to cut my rotor off. I replaced my calipers, rotors and pads and called it could. I don't live in San Francisco, so I ain't worried. I have a 2007 Lecus ES350 I bought in California. Not a speck of corrosion.
I'm glad I'm not the only that has to deal with non fitting aftermarket brake parts
I love this format
absolutely mesmerizing.
This was very enjoyable!
honestly a true ETCG viewer/subscriber would just self commentate the video in their head. I say this because i just caught myself doing it in my head lmao
Awesome video Mr. Guy!
Late braking warps rotors single rotors. Dual ventilated cool running no runout.
2:11 theres no greater satisfaction then this right here
Except for the backing plate - just as I would have done it. Good job, Eric.
It's always hit or miss with Detroit Axle. I had the same issue with my 2005 Element.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and friends @EricTheCarGuy #EricTheCarGuy
That brake lathe came in super handy for this one nice work @EricTheCarGuy
I'm still stumped as to why. Parking brake shoes vs Drum brake shoes (drum brake being twice the braking material thickness) or the wrong rotors..... Something was incorrect.
@@HouseCallAutoRepair I belive the rotors or the shoes were not correct for the element
@@AntonioClaudioMichael indeed!
I wouldn't have been able to do the job without it.

I remember growing up to shows with no words. Only sound. tom and jerry
Like watching a Zen tea ceremony
Surprised a "BANG" "F@@K" didn't happen.
I'm surprised it kinda works!
Now this asmr i can get into.
Working on my 93 integra reqr motor mounts atm. Stay dirty
That was some serious brake therapy!
Totaly awesome video

Like it brake maintenance way overlooked. Rust is the enemy safety first.
Been watching Eric’s vids for a little while, I assume his specialty is Honda, yes?
He worked at an Acura dealer as a tech for several years, so he’s very familiar with Hondas and Acuras.
