Actually, letting that caliper hang on the brake hose is a good test. If it falls on the floor, the brake hose was bad.
🤣🤣🤣 that's funny
I LOVE how he pixelated the dangling caliper like it was something "dirty"...
I yelled "DON'T LOOK ETHEL!!!!" at the screen!!!
I almost spit my coffee!!!!
@@K.Kelly87 If you have never seen it, you need to watch Eric's 'Challenging Charger: Part 1' video. It is a comedy classic.
Brake hoses are strong!
I never have understood why people seem to act like those brake hoses are so fragile. Sure, don't let the caliper drop with the brake hose to break its fall, but it's not like they're made out of play-dohnium either.
Eric i have to say, I respect you for how honest you are and going the extra mile for your customers. Many people would not have taken the time to clean up the caliper brackets as well. Thank you for another awsome video.
Am I the only one who was waiting for the slide pin to fly out and hit the camera lens when Eric was taping it with the screwdriver?
Yeah some other RUclipsrs would've charged an extra hour of Diag for doing that...
He's the reason the majority of us do everything we can NOT to go to our mechanic's...Just can't trust them nowadays...
😅
Done my first press on bearing 2 days ago on my sister car.
Also replaced the rear hub bearing and front control arm and oil change. Air filter and cabin filter.
As Eric says. If I can DO IT. Youse can DO IT. Yup. I learned how. Next round I will get the hub press off tool with the nuts and bolts gadget for the win.
My sister says. Next time. We can do the passenger side hub. Rear bearing and control arm replacement. Possibly another oil change again when it comes up. Thank you Eric for showing me how and I'm an old geezer who is willing to learn and not complain about someone screwed me or the dealership screwed me. I'm not sure what they quoted my sister for all the work I did. But...im happy my sister is happy and safe. Happy turkey day everyone. ❤
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Nissan connectors are the toughest in the business. They double the frustration level of every job!
Hats off to the engineers who came up w the bolt on wheel bearing. The press in bearings were a major pita.
@Rick O'Sidhe What?? No, of course not. They are as good as any bearing.
I certainly I do seems lazy to not design all front ends with bolt in’s. I’m am also just as lazy I just buy the whole Moog pre assembled knuckle so I guess I’m already at bolt on front wheel bearing. Soon as I hear the word wheel bearings I get a chill and depressed
Your not kidding most of the 80s front wheel drive were press on and I boogered a few at the shop I worked at.
Meh... i agree unless the abs sensor comes with the assembly. Kind of nice to do a wheel bearing for under $50 in parts when it's press in. Don't think that's possible with bolt on.
Try an early 2000 forester rear wb in the salt zone. A 5 lb hammer and a sacrificial drift or 2 after you break the bolt off.
Thanks Eric O for your videos. I enjoy them while I pass time caring for my wife, who is disabled. I suppose its a release for me. Your efforts to help people by doing what you can to save on their repairs is a true service to your community. Have a blessed Thanks Giving and I wish you God' blessings on your family.
I never get tired of watching countless hub replacements and disk brake jobs! I miss the "tan...tan" of the spray can!
But where is the the B&P cleaner. Has it been retired?
Best RUclips channel for auto repair hands down. Others try to copy what you are doing.
There are 3 folk who are excellent. Eric, Rainman Ray and Watch Wes Work. They are all top class operators. All can think too plus cope with a challenge. Retired mechanic in Land Down Under.
You've been spoiling us with content lately, Mr. O.
Nobody's complaining.
11:54 when your trying to pull that slide pin out was absolutely hilarious!! I’ve laughed till I’ve cried. God Bless you brother.
you make this stuff look to easy....no cussing,screaming, hollering and throwing tools....we do all of that here in the south, just for effect....LOL...LOVE YOUR VIDS
If you're not testing the flight capabilities of your tools, are you even a mechanic? Haha
Haha I lost it when you blurred out the hanging caliper. That's some hilarious stuff right there.
Eric, after watching you and Rainman Ray, I've confirmed why I no longer work on my own vehicles. Oh ya, age is also a factor. Keep up the great videos👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺
My son had his brakes checked by a mechanic. They still were stiff so I checked them, found two seized slide pins, one on each side. Seemed obvious to me.
I like your comments about where and why to use brake grease and anti rust .
I love it too. Sad that even pro shops take shortcuts or don’t even know how to do a proper brake job.
Brake jobs never get old, Maybe for Eric but personally I enjoy watching the process.
As a retired Nissan tech, I agree 100% about their electrical connectors being crap (along with the rest of the car). But I have found a quick way to release the wheel speed sensor connector that doesn't involve a wire cutter. If you look at the image @ 10:17, you will see a small slot. Take your airgun and blow up through that slot and it will blow out all the dirt, and then you can "easily" push the release pin and the connector will come apart. Just found your site and I am enjoying it immensely. I wind up watching it instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Thanks!
Always enjoy watching Eric sharing his great quality work. The best entertainment,learning car repair and having a few laughs along the way.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Roll TIde!!
@@JustinHeat1961 Roll Tide !
You to Tony! Roll Tide!
War eagle
@@lackeydehackey405 Good game. Iron Bowl is always exciting.
Once again, brains, intelligence, experience, and a touch of humble makes the day.
Thank God you pixilated that, I darn near passed out witnessing that 😂
I could watch you do brake jobs all day. Thanks Eric O
400 children and a crop in the field,ya picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel,i’s loves that song.
You sure make working on these vehicles easy I guess that comes from years of see them over and over.
So glad you obscured that move putting the brakes back together. Whew.
Oh ya baby, hopefully you guy's are ok with all that snow you got. Stay safe.
I also live in the lake effect snow belt in wester Michigan and we only got 3 feet and not 7 feet. We lucked out.
I don’t think Eric O. Got the massive snow he was further south then this snow area covered LOL I know I got almost 30 inches 25 miles west of Erie Pa this was a bit different then most lake effect events
"the classic 27/64ths running in reverse" -- brilliant tip for cleaning a hole!
My man Eric!! Most shops wouldn't take the time to do all the little things you do. Much respect my brother. Keep up the good work.
I don't miss the rustbelt life. You the man Eric O
The best part is the subtle jabs at the pundits…. Blurring was spot on!
Thank you Eric for all you teach, show and do,and your honest approach to your work and life. Thankful there are people like you in the world...makes a difference more than you know!:) Cheers and Happy Thanks Giving from Canada!
He is definitely one of the very few honest mechanics like myself. I actually make more money working in a factory as a quality manager and no longer have a repair shop but I do still do work on the side. I was really busy one week and my wife's car needed a tire rotation done so I told her to take it to our local garage. The guy tried to tell her she needed new brakes and a wheel bearing replaced and told her it would cost $1500. The car was only 4 months old! I went and confronted him as he knew who I was and knew I was a mechanic as well. He was very ashamed but admitted he does it all of the time because his business was slow. I actually get more work than he does and I only do it part time. I told him if he was honest maybe he would get more business! Sorry for the long story just had to throw that in there!
The pixelated part made my day! Thank you for sharing and stay safe!
I’m glad you took the time to make it right with the break pin. It’s the small things that keep them coming back. I would have done the same thing. 👍👍
Here’s your comment for you tube algorithm!
I pulled my wheels off today thinking my pads have to be getting close to replacing!
75000 miles, pulled my 20ft RV from Colorado to down near Ft Worth last winter!
Winter before Colorado to east central Oklahoma, from southeast plains of Colorado up into the high Rockies of Colorado!
Original pads, and the fronts still have over 7mm of pads left!
Happy happy happy!
I have recently been watching your videos. I have been talking to the family units about moving back to the New York area from the desert southwest, your videos talked me out of moving back. The amount of rust you have to deal with is insane, I'll put up with the sand getting everywhere. My 1979 GMC would be eaten alive up there.
The quality of this video is excellent
Hi, Mr. O. I usually enjoy your banter. This episode did have one or two new East Coast Slang comments that should be put into somebody's book. Of course, I am not going to repeat them here. I don't want to give away your secrets! Anyway, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
I spent all day swapping out the radiator and heater core on a 2005 Dodge Caravan, and I am dog tired. I don't know how you do it every day. Thanks for giving me something to unwind this evening.
Eric crosses yet another Frontier as Capt. Kirk watches patiently on his big screen TV for the Final.😄👍🇨🇦
I gave up cable tv three years ago and used roku for a while but have not turned a tv on in close to a year now. My time watching anything always includes Eric and his very well done repairs. From watching this channel I have found Ivan and Ray as well. This is far better than television and I I have been doing all my own auto repairs since 1975 including engines, clutches, brakes and much more.
I enjoy the banter as the work is getting done.
Try this old tony
I know that's right... This and more is why my main paid content subscription is RUclips
Of course I got Amazon Prime as well but I don't ever use it lol
Oh the blurred out hanging calliper! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh I’m cry laughing! That was awesome! Thank you so much for all the content!
That hub came out of the knuckle kinda easy :). Front hub of 06 explorer was rusted in so bad. Finally, ATD Tools Wheel Hub Removal Tool and a BFH got it out
Great repair as always Eric!
Love that you go the extra mile
Another SMA vid. Great way to wrap up the night
Sure wish you were close by to work on my Frontier .... can't hardly trust anyone anymore .... kudos to your knowledge and honesty.
As usual, another informative and entertaining video, thx Erik
Always impressive the way you take care of the customers
You're a good man, Eric!
Great Job, Love the extra help.
Even when SMA is closed Eric is still pumping out the content!!
Another great video from The Master
Great job, I enjoy your instructional videos.
Great video Eric. Your always take care of your customers.
Thanks for the video Eric. Hope you and the family have a a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you for sharing your skills and advice. Cheers.
Great job ! Once again making it look easy, besides the connectors ! Love your video's "keep em" coming! Peace
Another SMA bearing video! As a bearing aficionado, I love me some bearing videos.
Man, so glad I live in the PNW not the PNY... Its wet here and things rust everywhere but not from road salt.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Eric. Thank you for the help you givin me over the years, especially the Jeeps.
Thanks for some thanksgiving entertainment! Another great video!
I watch every video you put out. And I learn something every time!
I'm thankful for Eric O and his wholesome content. Thank you sir!
Way Cool Dude ,keep rockin on with great content,you make an awesome teacher.
Another excellent job and love the comments and explainations.
It's nice to see mechanics that care.
thank you Eric I learn something new from you every day😎
Your videos sure make it easier for me to “do it” . Thanks for posting this. Steve
Thanks for the Christmas gift. Another good video I can learn from.
It's good to be back watching you very good mechanic
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family….love your videos 😊
I'm binge watching sma the next couple days I'm off work, eric and family have a happy Thanksgiving.
Gee that was fun. Thanks for the vid Eric!
Awesome, I was looking for a good way to avoid the 'tube' tonight, glad to see you back on 'the job' Eric
Nice one. Glad you were able to rescue the slider pin. I did a Hyundai Elantra, 10yo and a pin that was seized solid. Had to replace the entire Caliper and bracket assembly ! Hope your customer is suitably grateful for your diligence.
Done my fair share of wheel Bearings in my day, I do just about the same as You!!! Great Job as always!!! Eric.
One of my very favourite channels always! The best and thanks to Eric and family!
Happy Thanksgiving Eric to you and your family. Another quality job!!!! As always!!
Only 1 K away from 750 K subscribers… that is impressive!
I like watching your vids , deep, knowledgeable contents.
Cannot believe it did not take the jaws of life to get that bearing out of that hub amazing love the video thank you for doing what you do y'all have a great Thanksgiving
E you're so professional and caring when it comes to your customers vehicles need more mechanics like you top shelf sir thank you
Thank goodness I closed my eyes at the correct time 👍 thanks Eric good video
Nissan's mother lovin' connectors! Nearly spit my beer into the screen!
Eric you should do a time study some day of how much time you spend on Rust related issues on cars here in the PRNY. As a WNY resident (Lockport NY) I know what you go through. Mechanics outside of the Snow, Salt, Rust Belt have no clue what people go through up here with our vehicles and rust problems!! You lose time, ergo, money dealing with rust I am sure!! Keep up the great work and videos!!
Supreme segeway Mr O! *Thank You* for the laugh it produced; much appreciated (and needed). 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
The magically levitating caliper was absolutely amazing :D
Restivo your very conscientious and patient also thorough.I appreciate that.Keep up the good video and workmanship and reap the rewards.😊
Had a pin once so rusted in, I dilled a hole in the casting end and used a punch to drive it out. Silicone sealed it up.
That's a unique method to unravel the hose, just let it drop!
Mike
Happy Thanksgiving to You and Your Family 👪 Always great work 👍
Hey Eric,, that was really nice of you to give extra and make the job right.. great job thanks for your time.. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!..
Another straight-forward repair with a little extra for the customer. Well done sir! Oh.. .and Happy Thanksgiving to the entire "O" family.
Nice work as always.
Thanks Eric. Happy Thanksgiving to your family.
As I have said before Your the best.👍
nice handy job for you to start your day good look with the rest of the day
Thanks to you we have a total understanding of how disc brakes work. And a lot of other stuff too. Happy Turkey Day to the"0" family and God Bless!
Using a high quality silicone paste on the slide pins and in the boots, has made my pads wear a lot longer and more evenly. I like the 3m best. It keeps the salt water from getting in and rusting it up. Thanks, Eric, for showing how it's done.
Silglide is great stuff as well, been using it for 20 years and never had an issue.
I like the 3M paste too, but it’s $35 per can at the local parts house, so I am extremely frugal with which parts get it and which parts don’t. If life/limb or expensive parts aren’t on the line I’m using CRC dielectric or Super Lube. Fortunately in the Southeast the only salt I see is what I sprinkle on my steak and veggies. :D
You are a good man, many mechanics do give a s__t about folks. Great job!
I love those Snap-on slip joint needle nose & regular slip joint pliers. Good tip...keeps m/cyl piston from failing. Great job as usual!
Always, always, always doing it the right way. You are bar that everyone else should be measured by Eric!
Absolutely great channel to watch 👌 Frightening to see the amount of crust that had underneath it for a 2015😮
