- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2024
- In this video I fix up a customer's 2015 Nissan Frontier that needs some front lower ball joins as well as some pads, rotors and brake calipers. Should be easy right?
-Enjoy!

I had my very own hoist delivered to my home yesterday and a neighbour I've barely talked to wander up while I'm trying it out for the first time and started quoting Mr. O. I picked up on it right away and we both giggled. Both of us are quite new DIYers, but long time SMA watchers!
side note, it's sad to say, but the money I saved by fixing my recently inherited car myself ONCE, paid for most of my hoist. Rotors and pads front and back (plus boot kit), 1 headlight assembly, tie rod end. quoted over $3000 for the work. bought the parts for $500. Second time in my life I've done a brake job but it felt like I've done it 100 times thanks to Mr. O.
Thanks again for all you do "my guy"!
This made me smile😁Thanks!
“If I can do it, you can do it”.
the basics are pretty simple, you can do it!
This should be PINNED :)
On a side note, if you want more friends than you will get with just a lift, go and buy a car trailer. You'll have so many friends you won't know what to do!
I love the fact that Big Nasty had his own heavy metal music intro!!!😂😂
All Hail Big Nasty!
You could jackhammer concrete with that thing.
⬆️That's what she said😂
No Fluid Film when putting the CV shaft back in the bearing. Miss the sound when using it before rotor.
@@colinkuntz7907 Baaa
😂😂
The trifecta - Big Nasty, Little Big Nasty and Brake Kleen.... Brings back fond memories of old. Never get tired of good old smash and bash videos.
Almost carnage! We need an old school wheel bearing beat down!
No brake cleaner chime though.
Also Sheeba!
"You wanna see my ribs?" cracked me up. Love watching you two interact.
Mr. O you forgot the number 1 rule when screwing in a fitting by feel, you need to close your eyes so you can feel it better.
What a way to show love ❤️ to the neighbor, but to ignore him.
Always makes me laugh that our guy Josh is like Mr. Wilson. You never see his face.. ha ha
What a morning, an SMA, Pine Hollow, and a Rainman Ray video. Only way it would get better is a "I do cars" video 😆 😆
😅
Check out "Jimmy making it work" then you will have the full set 😁
Easy there fella, pull your pants up, hide the lube and walk away from your laptop
Or vgg
The other Eric has been pretty consistent with Wednesday videos lately. They just don't get posted as early in the day.
I went to a hardware store and did my business and before I was to leave I gave the store the onceover and found a nice little chainsaw on the go-back shelf. It was a bit dirty but the price was right, $10!
I did not have, or need a chainsaw but from the looks of it, it was running before the previous owner brought it back.
The chain bar was heat discolored but undamaged.
I took my fine, slightly used "new tool" home, turned the chain around and have been using it for the past 40 years.
Chain saws cut soo much better when the chain is moving with the sharp edge into the wood.
I'll bet the other guy's arms were so tired after he cut his wood by the abrasion method. The backside of the teeth are fairly dull.
It's
Happened
More
Than
Once!
LoL 😂😆
I worked for a very short time at a farm supply store. Yeah a whole lot of people put chains on backwards. Sad part it wasn't the customers that ran me off... Management.
I'm telling Mr. O the whole time I'm watching....this looks like a job for the Big Nasty. You never disappoint sir!
"I went to put on my socks, now I'm disabled." Man, I felt that. First time a nerve pinch hit my neck, I was lifting my hands to put them on the steering wheel. Pain hit so hard it took my breath away. Finally got tired of fighting it, had a cervical disc fusion. Easiest surgery in the world, and it was 100% relief. Got rid of the numbness/weakness in my fingers/thumb, too.
Get feeling better, Mr. O.
Yeah I feel you I have severe rheumatoid arthritis every day getting out bed every joint hurts.(reason I quit mechanical work.)
Your brake job videos are always unique because every car has it's own crusty character.
A classic SMA today! Love it.....and we opened up with a pinched hose and a Mother Lover. Rust flying and Uga Duga showing her stuff! God bless America man!
For anyone as curious as me, after considerable time searching I finally found that socket/extension protector tool...it's a Schley Products 15950 kit or you can get the 15900 kit for a bit less. I ordered both! I have beaten the snot out of way too many sockets and extensions.
You sir are a true hero.
Thanks!
When you let us know it's going to be a "smash and bash video," I immediately pause the video, get a nice big beverage and some snacks, and settle in. I love it.
That's a new record - laughed out loud 6 times during this video while wearing my crocs with socks, shorts and a muscle shirt. 😂
Lower Ball Joints, Pads, Rotors & Calipers "OH MY!"
You and Mrs O together are comedy gold! Thanks for sharing with us
Always love your interaction with Mrs O. 😂 Fabric vision....
The rotors with the made in USA tag are made by Waupaca Foundry here in Wisconsin.
I miss the music and sound effects that fluid film, big nasty, and brakekleen used to get all the time. Nice to have one of them back. Great video as always.
"If the guy wasn't such a prick I would go help him!!" Hahaha!! I was laughing so hard I almost fell off the couch 🛋!! Hahaha!! I can only imagine!! Good one Mr O!!
Haven't seen Sheba in ages, such a pretty doggo!
I woke up Monday April 14th with a sore/stiff neck, it is now April 23rd and it's just starting to feel better. So I feel your pain. I work as an industrial mechanic in an ethanol plant, and I totally agree that it just takes everything out of you, because every time you barely turn your neck you get pain.
That’s how you blow up a chainsaw. A Dull chain. Great video! Never expected the chainsaw in the video, mower yes, chainsaw no.
Chainsaw bit was hilarious. His name is not Eddie by chance. 😂
Comment sparking comment…SMA convinced me it was OK to gently clamp a brake line on a pair of caliper swaps, and saved me much hassle and time.
You sure have developed some serious skills to deal with rusty bits! Major respect!
Mr. O . thanks for such a great job on every job you do. Yer detailed ways, and humor are great! Appreciate it!
Ditto that !
Story or my life. Every time I grab the grease gun it’s empty! 😂
Scared the chit out of me with the brake clean. Good for my heart. Thanks, Eric.
This is my exact old Frontier but one year newer (I have a 2023 now). Bought the 2014 only 4 years used but it had been pretty well abused those first years on the road. Basically had to replace everything Eric worked on here and more, but in my driveway. Reminds me 100% of that job. It was a lot to do, but honestly, these trucks are pretty easy to work on. Thanks for the video, Eric.
Same situation except mine was a 2013. 220,000 and gave it to my son. Not happy with the 2023 SV. Annoying electronic garbage that doesn't do anything. Plant based plastics the animals like to eat. $15 g more expensive.
@@rickjljr11 Could not agree more with you. I just "dumped" an new Colorado I purchased in favor of an older, but well maintained Tacoma. Got rid of the crappy GM electronics that kinda worked for good old reliable transportation. Yeah, need a key to start it and have to hold the window switch to lower the window but vehicle drives like it should.
The chainsaw guy made me spit my coffee out!😂
No he didn't
One time about three years ago I sat down one morning to put my socks on. There was a pop in my back when I sat down. I was disabled for two weeks after. It really does happen!!
I was thinking as you were whaling on that bolt, with your other hand in the line of fire, that you might be about to forget all about your sore neck! Luckily everything turned out OK! Loved the sound effects with "Big Brother"! You'll have to do that more often.
X-Ray You Tube vision. What a concept ! 👀
For me it's not the "pinching off the hose" that's annoying, it's the way it's done that makes all the difference. You did it the right way, use the hose pinching pliers which are designed to not damage the hose, and only pinch it off hard enough to stop the fluid flow.
I've seen some hacks just take a pair of vice grips, crank them down, and clamp them on with the same level of force that you'd use if the hose was instead a bolt that needed to get heated to get removed.
That second way is the wrong way, that's the way I'd get angry at someone for. But you did it right!
Another great tutorial! With real added sound effects, Mrs. O, and Sheba. And all with neck pain - Thanks for your effort!
Do you ever get up in the morning and say to yourself I dont want to work on any cars or trucks today ?
I love it when you finally get to work on a Nissan.
Me too, I have a Frontier, these videos are great. And since the Frontier hasn’t change since the Victorian era, the video applies to all years.
Just for fun... If you can remember: Take an old brake line and make a clean cut off, and then squeeze that rubber right at the end so we can see a cross section of what it looks like when that rubber hose is squeezed. Could be a fun experiment; maybe we can learn something new
Always nice to see Mr. O bring out the full impact artillery to get the job done
I’m a tech down here in the south, (Georgia) and I promise you I’d sell everything I own and change careers if I moved to the north and fought everything like yall do. No way, jose.
Great video & a Mrs O appearance! Thanks for sharing!
Eric,
Great video - thank you!
"We're not sending it to the moon"
If Eric O. had worked for NASA in 1970 Jim Lovell would have been the 5th man on the moon (and nobody would know who he is).
Paul (in MA)
Actually, Eric should have worked for North American in 1968. That's where the oxygen tank which caused the explosion was damaged, but still passed for flight.
Any resemblance to contemporary aviation quality control is entirely coincidental. 😺
I absolutely love that trick with the caliper. Putting the lower bolt in first and then swinging it up so those clips stay put. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
Love it when Eric Hits a Trifecta!!!!!!!!! Thanks Eric O. !!!!
Thanks You Mr. O. and the Lovely Mrs. O. for the video.
When big nasty comes out that's the best..the music..great segment of your videos..always makes me smile
Always love the nuts and bolts vids, reminds me what I need to do with my 95 Camaro upper and lower ball joints, keep up the great work and keep your customers happy.
Freakin' lost it when he grabbed the "12mm" and neither end fit as it was narrated. Lmfao classic
"Big Nasty" for the win. That was a fun one, thanks for sharing.
finally some nuts and bolts videos classic SMA!
Love watching / listening to you. As I sit I anticipate your next moves. Your interaction with Mrs. O and the pup is genuine. You and Watch Wes Work are my two favorites. Keep'em coming!!!
The lovely Mrs O is so helpful.
Yep. Liked it before I watched it. Great video Mr O. Nice to see Big Nastey come out!!!!
Very good, Eric. I understand you're aching pains real well, Thank you for the video Good job
Nice one Mr. O. Always a big thanks for sharing your God given talent with us. Until the next one a big thumbs 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loving your content here in Australia mate!
I finally got to see this video! Kitchen remodel going on here complete with the known and unknown problems!
Good one Mr. O. Nice to see Mrs. O!
Such great informative content! Really appreciate it!
Great job Eric!
Eric, I wanted a brake and you gave me two! Thanks!
Love the clear line ,no guessing,wish I knew that years ago 🤗🤗🤗
Pinched brake hose? WHAT THE WORLD?!? Love the channel, thanks for the good times.
Luv me sum SMA video to start my day!❤
Lol, had me giggling today with your many comments.
Working on the rest belt vehicles seems like a whole different animal. Surprised you don't use more penetrating oil than you seem to.
I enjoy your channel, thx.
Nice work Eric, great video..
. Y favorite kind-of video. Actual mechanical work and not a computer class.
Love Nissan trucks. That's a beauty.
Eric's MeeMaw is a smart lady.
I think you like to tease the Internet! I love it.
Excellent you make look easy, especially with all that rust and grime, that is called being a professional congrats.
0:50 lol, you know us so well on pinching the brake hose
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I laugh, learn and laugh some more. Keep making these, please.
Another great vid Eric
Glad you enjoyed it
After my first year leaving in the midwest and working on a car from here... I understand the need and use for every tool you use. The Rust Belt is strong with this one.
Know the aching body. Pain-free was fun while it lasted. Wish i could say it gets better but this 72 y.o. can tell you it doesn't. ❤❤
Brake videos for the win.
Smash and bash videos are the best.
Love love love that Big Nasty has its own heavy metal theme song 🎸
You’ve been getting all the Gravy jocs, like exhaust work!
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
Captain Brakleen is back! 🎉🎉
So it's the female portion of the pin but the male portion of the plug. I just love South main Auto, once you watch you are at Eric O's Mercy. The man with the plan!!!
Awesome 👏🏼 training !
Thanks !!
I was expecting blood to come flying into the videography frame from the guy outside !! 😲 . Get your first aid kit ready !
I used to machine rotors in Saginaw Michigan until the plant closed down in 2014 it was a great job
Nissan Thunder
Thank you for the videos
Thank you for another great video. Cheers
I Use a lazy leg on brake pedal to close off master cylinder outlets to stop brake fluid loss when opening a pipe. These trucks front suspension are virtually the same as D40 or Pathfinder in Europe, I've changed lower ball joints using two lengths of suitable diameter tube, a concrete floor and a large hammer.
A rubber valve stem will fit in mist brake line holes. A cool trick to stop the fluid without having to pinch on the hose ! Both ways work just a thought
When my neck hurts I just lay down and let my kids walk on my back.. They're good at getting up on my shoulders and neck and popping my back, etc.. Feels like a deep massage and usually hurts while they're doing it.. but then I get up from it and always feel relief
every time I see a crusty car like that I'm thankful I am in the south.. and it reminds me to ALWAYS check to see if any used car I'm about to buy ever lived up north....
I Love your videos, you run into hurdles and find a solution. Here in Florida you just have to look at those control arm Bolts and they come right out on their own. 😂
Next time just put where I can skip forward to Mrs O starring role, I can always rewind after I see the real star of the show. LOL Good luck in the contest.
Well done guys good job
Very nice. A bit rusted but straight forward.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Enter BIG Nasty, with intro music, made may day
With guest appearance by Mrs O
Hello Mr O we have snow here in Edmonton Yesterday ❄❄❄😊
