“Scotty Kilmer special” I died 🤣🤣🤣
Eric "Why you people love watching these brake videos I'll never know".
Most of the audience "It's the banter. The rambling thoughts spoken".
I simply enjoy watching a smart experienced guy doing his job. I actually had to get used to the banter, not my cup of tea.
When I worked in General Aviation (small planes) I had a Work Order for a "pitot-static test" (testing the plumbing for the altitude and airspeed indicators) on an old Bonanza. The first thing I noticed was the housing for the pitot tube (airspeed) was crushed, and sure enough, it leaked badly. The local Fixed Base Operator parts room had nothing for it, but their chief mechanic, Tony, came by. I talked with him about it, and he knew the customer. The guy planned to fly home that afternoon, but the plane was unsafe to fly as it was. Tony suggested we wrap it with red vinyl tape, test it, and log the temporary repair. Tony also opined the guy would probably want us to put chewing gum on the housing. Just about then the customer walked up so Tony explained what the problem was. The customer asked, "Can't you put chewing gum on it?" No kidding - he did! Tony explained our plan, and it was done.
The next time I saw the plane, a few months later, the red tape had been painted silver. [Sigh]
Moral of the story: if they want it jury rigged today, they will try to keep it jury rigged forever.
hole in the rubber and 9 months later it's back in the shop :)
😂😂😂
Hole in the rubber and your paying for the next 20+years 😎😁😁😁🇬🇧😷🇬🇧
Thats busted rubber will have you downtown and walking for the next 18+ yrs.
These type of videos relax me so much. Just a guy talking to his fans while doing brakes 👍 love how much care he puts into every job he does
The mysteries of why we love brake jobs. Each wheel loves to hide secretes. We love exposing the truths.
Ya don't just get the brake pads off'n there and slap new ones in? I feel like I oughta put some pants on now!
I used that Permatex purple stuff and now am unfortunately dead. Way to go, Eric! 😂
Best part about being a straight shooter is you never have to remember what you told who. Just tell everybody the truth. 😊 Enjoyable video.👍
I'm going to quote that on my Facebook and give credit with your name.
@@pfsantos007 Might wanna correct the grammar first lol
@@ZzzRoofus Agreed. Change "who" to "peeps"
"if you tell the truth you never have to remember anything," Mark Twain.
Must have seen you do 50 brake jobs... first time I've seen the pin cleanout. Gripping!
My learning for today how to clean and replace pin boots
I never thought to clean them like that. I feel like I have to redo my brake job now
He did another when he used a drill bit to clean out the hole....
Prestia2011 that was not the best method
Would love to know what tip he used to clean out the slider hole.
You cam never satisfy the armchair youtube experts, stop trying. I watch you because you are humble, honest and admit your mistakes.
A little "Scotty-shade", makes my day!
SAME 👍
Last week Scotty took a jab at mechanics trying to teach youtubers how to use the Pico scope. He even waved a shinny one around, to prove he owned one.
I must be dense when was it.
Scotty is probably more successful then 99% of the people who hate on him, including you.
@@umbergbr April 30th. His video - "Thank you and Goodbye"
Pretty clever with the brake clean drop.
I knew it was coming, but it still makes a smile.
Thanks Mr. O.
I just discovered this channel even though I've seen the name here and there. This guy is awesome and I love the detailed explanation during the repair process. The HD quality is phenomenal so I subscribed. Time to catch up on some of the older videos also. Great job!
I was also late to the ball so I go through the old ones frequently. Thoroughly awesome mechanic and troubleshooter; hard to find them in the same person.
I want to thank you for all the knowledge you've shared. You helped me rebuild my 94 f150 and diagnose a bad MAF sensor. you have also inspired me to turn a wrench for a living, I start Monday at my local performance and modification shop as a mechanic :) thanks again!!!!
Nothing better to get some normalcy in our day than watching you do a brake job, Eric. Thanks!
You sir are a TRUE cornerstone to our profession!! THANK YOU FOR REFUSING TO “RIG” A REPAIR!!!!!
Not everything can smell as good as a reman CV axle, Eric!
Haha
Love the CHiPs story! Growing up in rural Scotland I remember us playing on our bikes pretending we were California Highway Patrol.
Honestly, how many mechanics would go through the trouble of cleaning calipers that well? That is a very simple and straightforward job but you did amazingly well, yet again. It's a pleasure to watch you work Eric.
I see some people already gave that video a thumbs down. Like, seriously ? Who can give SMA videos a thumbs down? This, in my opinion, is by far the best automotive Channel on RUclips.
Cleaning and lubricating caliper slide pins? Did it with every brake job. All technicinas should.
@sidvis7235 hes talking about cleaning the clogged up boot with brake clean and a drill pretty much every flat rate tech will grease it up see that its not completely seized and finish up the job
@@Tizzy-sh5ql when you're flat-rate you don't have time to do what Eric does.. you'll lose your job
I don't mind seeing lots of brake jobs. Each is a little bit different and I always learn something new. Gives me the confidence to keep doing it myself. Great videos!
Have to thank you for your information. Today I completed my rear brakes and couldn't have done it without the confidence you have me you were right I can do it Thanks again
BGT A,
Congratulations, good to hear about someone who learned something then used that knowledge for doing a job.
Have you test driven it? I mean don't enjoy too soon.
@@ronaldderooij1774 yes drove today and completed fronts no noise and car feels like new again
Driver to rear brakes: weigh anchor!! 🤣
Watching very early videos, I just want to say that your confidence has, exponentially, improved over time.
Kudos
Dr. O should be collecting all the rust chunks that falls off the vehicle, and send it to some auto museum or that.
Every time I see that cart you work off of it reminds me of the ones they had in school where the teacher would roll in the TV and VCR to show a movie! Ahh the memories....
I'll watch any and all brake videos you make, Mr O! Keep em coming.....
... soon they will complain about the way you sat “Bruh”...great vid as usual! Stay safe and healthy all of you!
Great tip with the seize pin.
People in the rest of the country always got wide-eyed when I used to explain how we needed a torch to do a brake job up here. With the advent of the internet, now everyone can see for themselves! 🔥
HA! I remember "Oba-chucka", but I can't remember how you're REALLY supposed to pronounce your last name - you said it on a live stream waaaaay back, but me brain is smoked ... 🥴
CHIPS was my favorite show. Used to watch that after The Dukes of Hazzard every Friday night as a kid. That was some epic programming! Nothing even comes close today. We had great cars (from the 60's and back), great music (everything from rock to country was fantastic!), and great TV ... no covid, no friggin computers to drive me nuts, and MUCH less partisan bickering! I'm gonna build a time machine ... and set it for '80! Well, if I had a time machine I'd probably set it for '55 like Marty did. Some fantastic iron rolling down the roads in those days! I could do 20 years as a mechanic, and retire just before those crappy electronic, solenoid-controlled carburetors and 980 miles of vacuum hoses became mainstream in Detroit city. Ahh, I'm just dreamin' again ... 😁
Just mowed for the first time Saturday! That time o'year again. Lawn was insane ... from all the rain! The ol' z-turn fired right up, no problem. I remembered to throw the charger on it a couple times this winter. Carb never seems to clog on that one for some reason. I never ran the gas out of the bowl, either! Got my buddy's John Deere LX280 mower's Kawasaki engine in 1,000 pieces on the bike lift. The OE crankshaft has part of a bolt, and half an EZ-Out snapped off waaaaay down inside it! PTO side. I found a crank and rods on eBay fairly cheap, so I'm swapping them out. It's easier to do this than to drill that mess out! I remember why I love mowers. In 3 hours I had the engine out, torn down to the case, and the "new" rods swapped over to the stock pistons, and installed on the "new" crank. I'll pick that back up tomorrow. Should have it running by lunch ... if I can get out there before 10, lol.
Since you're posting, I'm assuming all is well with you and the fam-jam. Sweeeeet! 👍🍻😁
Love the brake vids, and I've learned a thing or two from them. Recently did a brake job and for the first time ever, had some air stuck under the piston boot. Thanks to your videos, I knew to lift the edge up with a pick, and work the air out of it!
Top Tip: 3M Silicone Past works great on double hung windows in your house, too!
What about drawers in old furniture that tend to stick? Traditionally people rub the runners with candle wax, but silicone grease may be a better solution.
Another great brake job done correctly. Like many others I enjoy watching the brake jobs. About a month ago I did the front rotors, and pads on my wife's Lincoln Town Car. I'm so glad I live in the south and don't have the rust to deal with like you folks up north .
That's what I love about a good brake job. Starts with two wrenches and some brake cleaner. Next thing you know your entire toolbox is spread across the driveway.
When I start any car job I'm all prissy: "Oooh! I got some grease on my finger!" Half an hour later I'm bear-hugging the bell housing and speaking in tongues.
Oh oh ohhh... right on the scotty special with brake video ACTION!
I'm excited
I was wondering why one of my pads on my 2013 Corolla was worn more that the opposite pad. Well, there you have it, there was in fact a stuck pin. Got it all cleaned up per Eric O style, and back together, should be good to go!!. Thanks.
You are absolutely right on doing things the right way and not rigging things up!! Because it will come back to bite you customers always forget that they told you to do it and any time there is a problem they are calling you to fix it! I go through the same things when installing flooring a lot of people don’t want to do it right because of the cost so I tell them well I can’t help them but maybe someone else can do it for beer money and good luck!! Typically anytime someone complains about the price your better off walking away!!
Reputation is what brings customers back. As long as you have repeat customers because of your honesty and being a good mechanic you will always have good business. Screw the rest.
One of the few that hit that 👍 SMA baby !!!
I have a saying I’ve used for years on various managers “ why is there always enough time to do it over but never enough time to do it right” you copy that Ponch!
Ugh... memories from my 1995 Saturn. Rear caliper pins kept going dry, burning up pads and warping the rotor. First thing I checked was for holes in the rubbers, but there weren't any. Replaced whole caliper, and still had the same issue. I finally stopped using the crappy black lube packets to coat the pins and used a good lithium grease. Never had any more problems for the life of the car. Gotta keep those pins properly schmood! 8)
Another brake job.....well, yeah...……..and clever banter; what's not to like. Two thumbs up!
I really love the brake video's ❤
11:27 "Now they should have nothing bad to say"
...you've met the Internet, correct? :-)
Feel so much better.......nothing like a brake job fix.
Chips was a great show. All those 80s shows were awesome. Dukes, knight rider, Chips, 6 million dollar man, etc.
This was Eric's April fools joke on us - no spray can noises, and no re-installation of hardware. Ponch wouldn't do that to us!
4:38 no sheep sound track 🐑 ...Eric O. come on brother 😜😂👍👍🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
YA THAT'S PRETTY BAAAAAAAAD, LOL.
Yeah he missed out on the brake cleaner sfx in the caddy rear brake video...smh.
Even though I consider myself a brake expert now (thanks to you), I still love to see new break videos. Thank you so much!
Glad that Ponch (Eric O) was able to help.
Ethics and honesty, kudos to you Eric O!😀😇😉
As an Erik (spelled correctly), I'd like to consider you an honorary Erik.
My son is named Erik with a "K". Erik is short for Fredrik, which is German. There is no letter C in the German alphabet, so our C is their K.
Two things... 1 even after 900 brake job vejaos, I’m still learning. Awesome! 2 those brooks brass hammers are beautiful, but damn expensive! Probably wait until Christmas to get my set.
Stay safe E
Dirty Side Down
I have done a few hundred brake jobs and I still learn tips from the master.
... and in Eric's area there is no doubt about which side is the dirty side, unlike cars from hoity-toity cities.
a man tht takes pride in his work does quality work. some would have let that boot go for the sake of time
Eric, you have taught me to do a much better brake job then I used to do. Will get the most life out of the pads and overall much better job. Thanks !
Hahaha I love that. " Bro you can't use that everyone gonna die " hahaha !
Bruh you just can't do that bruuuh
My parts dude is named after the song “hey Mickey”, so don’t feel bad! Lol Now, with the slow business days, does Mrs “O” still come to work with ya? Thanks for the vid, needed a little Eric humor today!
Now I understand what the 3 C's mean as us mechanics- comments, criticism, and concerns 🤣 seriously though, keep up the great work Eric. I always enjoy watching your videos, informative yet entertaining!
Thanks so much for keeping us entertained, inspired and educated.
Stay safe, boss, you the man!
Whoa!! Hub Cap Down!!! Nice!!!; )
7:47 brakleen noise
I miss that sound so much! Thx! Reminds me of Wizardry 7 !
I’m home all day now so I enjoy watching you work and telling your stories, thanks Erik O👍🏼
I just fixed some frozen up brakes on a Camry. I didn't think to use a brush. I cleaned the rusty bores on the bracket with a drill bit before washing them with brake parts cleaner. I don't have a fancy media blaster so I had to resort to a file for the guide grooves. You're the pro!
If there’s no brake clean in this video I’m seriously going to be pissed lol
LOL - In the meantime i'm wondering why i'm watching another brake job...I guess SMA is just that enjoyable.
He knows the RUclips algorithm loves brake jobs
7:46 friend.
Scotty always says, "Rev up your engines!", but the only thing I ever hear him rev up is his mouth lol. I'm so glad I found South Main Auto. It's refreshing to not only watch a true master mechanic work, but also hear someone who actually knows what they're talking about 👍 Keep up the good work, Eric!
Well, when one has a " motor " mouth , they basically are " revving " up their " engine " 😜😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
IMO Scotty always looks drunk in his videos. He must be revving up that keggerator. 😛
“Bro you can’t use that. Everybody’s gonna die.” So true... people are ridiculous. Don’t mind them Eric. You keep doing things your way because this channel is great. I’ve learned so much from watching. Thank you for the videos!
Thanks for the video Eric. Blessings to you and your family
Bouncer: welcome to the salty spittoon, how tough are you?
Eric: tougher than rhino skin
Bouncer: right this way sir
So, does Mrs O secretly call you Ponch? :-D
In bed when he rides Mrs. O like a motorcycle
Only if theres a '77 Firebird in the bay....
@@jefftreseder4358 Wowsers!
Never get tired of your videos!!!! Gave me confidence to do my own brakes!!!!!
Great job! A real conscientious mechanic. Thanks for bringing us along. Be well!
I miss the sheep soundtrack, where is it?
Wife: don't do watch anything other than those damn mechanics on youtube!
The Tv: "today im going to show you why changing your wiper blades will destroy your car"
Me: **smiles**
MR. O I love the videos I can't believe I just sat and watched another brake job
I would love to see Eric O and Josh do videos together more or have Josh make some of his own like a mini series. Anyway guys keep up the good work!!
There's your problem lady!
@william III Oh, my!
Everyone's wearing those crap neon gloves. Myself included. Went to buy my usual brand and was sadly disappointed. Damn Rona!!!
wilahinely because they glow in the dark , should you have a black out.. 😉
I don't have a problem finding gloves because I don't wear them.
I've got 8 boxes of blue ones here in the UK 💯😎😁😷🇬🇧🤗🤗💪
@@danclack9648 Sometimes I start with them when wrenching, and end up with none by the end of the job. I definitely need them when painting though.
@@wilahinely. I get it when dealing with oily or greasy jobs. Other than that, I know they will not survive. I don't even try.
I literally learn something new about brakes every video.. Thank you..
Always enjoy your videos, they have saved me money working on my own cars.
The brake pad packaging always smells like fish.
C'mon on man give me a brake lol
Northern patriot907 he’s got a pair, that should do him for now...
I learn something new in almost every video you put out there. Love this channel. Keep on growing!
Love the brake videos! There is something for this DIYer to learn on every one of 'em.
😳so you're named after Ponchrello😂😂😂😂so you're a 70's remake?
Use a Disinfectant Brake Clean and inject and shoot it in the brake lines. Car won't need a brake job for another 500k
👍🏻😂🤣😂.
My son did a brake job on his 2002 Prius (used to be mine) at 200K miles, just on general principles. Just a few mm left on the front but it was time to clean and lube things anyway. The rear shoes didn't have any measurable wear.
🍑
Brake hoses and petroleum products do not get along well with each other.
I just like your brake job! You do the right service on them!
Greetings from Greece!
Another good thing to use on those pin holes is a copper bore brush from a gun cleaning kit works for us in the south where we dont have much rust
Eric has to use
silicone paste on the guide pins otherwise all the engineers have a thermo nuclear ☢️ melt down LOL
Haven't ya watched the news lady, we're all going to die.
Not all of you, but, in my mind, an unacceptable number will.
But, hey, if telling the government to "back the off" is more important to some of you than their (or your) next of kin, who am I to comment?
Just remember this lockdown/social distancing thing only slows the spread of the virus, it doesn't eliminate it.
My dad and I somehow got infected about 3 weeks into the lockdown here (Belgium, started March 13th). My dad (89) didn't make it.
He went from being a little under the weather, spending most of the day in bed, and me saying: "Oh, hey! -you're up, do you want me to make you a snack?", with him replying: "Nah, I'm not hungry. Thanks for making some fresh coffee, though.", to the ICU doctors saying: "the treatment is not taking hold, his organs are failing, we're suggesting to just keep him sedated and letting him go." in under 24 hours.
Covid-19 is a very nasty bug, because it spreads easily and is quite relaxed about making its presence known. Even when my dad rapidly deteriorated to where I decided "ok, we need an ambulance here.", I didn't expect Corona virus to be the cause of his ailments.
Having been, obviously, also infected (as I was the only one to venture outside during the lockdown, taking every recommended precaution), I suffered no other symptoms than those of a run of the mill cold, with a slight fever for a couple of days.
I'm currently unemployed, but, before having this situation thrust upon me, I would never have considered not going to work being only "that" slightly ill.
Fortunately, our government imposed measures seem to have worked "the other way 'round". None of the people I, at a distance, interacted with during the period I was unaware I'd been infected, have fallen ill. I take a lot of comfort from that.
You are so right about hack work at the customer's request. I looked at a van that was hacked, a year after it was hacked, thought the shop ripped the guy off, and told him to take it back to the shop that fixed it. Fortunately the shop kept notes on their computer, and reminded the guy that he hacked it for him as a favor.
Excellent work as always, a joy to watch!
I think he pulled an April Fools when he skipped the torque wrench. There's got to be an Armchair out there ripping him about it! 😋
Learned a couple great tricks I never knew about while watching this. Thanks!
I took the survey on the holme page and I was glad to smile it up. I love this channel. Helps me enjoy my life in the shop.
ERIC, thanks for the tips always enjoyable to watching you doing those repairs for years never get tired from watching brotha and always appreciate you.cheeeeeers
Another quality brake job and video by Dr. O . Woo Hoo !
Always good to see a brake job done right, your personality and comedy adds so much more :-D
You care about the safety of the driver and occupents, cant get much better than that.
I ALWAYS Learn something new on these vids. Thanks Eric.
As usual 👍your video
made my day, I had 3 Camrys, different style over the years due to a good dealer.
I hope you all of you stay safe
Hi Erik, in my part of the world down South (South Africa) spelling with a K is usual, any case now you teach this old dog 61 summers a new trick as rust only is at our coastal towns and I never saw a pin rusted in and I only saw snow 3 times in my life time and it was not even 1/4 inch thick , must say I enjoy your channel a lot, Keep it up and stay safe, glad to see the eye looks better. Stay safe Pieter
Good job on that break job ! Love it when you caught yourself on a step or two off ! Lol keep them Videos coming! Be safe with the big c.
Love brake job videos...so relaxing.
I have watched a lot of your videos. I enjoy them all. One of the reasons, I never see you doing something inappropriate to repair a vehicle. A work around that saves time without compromising the repair is smart not shoddy. You take pride in what you do. That isn't ego. You are a good man. Wish you were in Florida in my area! God bless to you and your family. Give your better half an extra hug and kiss from all of us!
