It was refreshing to see both Eric O. And Mrs. O. Having such a great time at the shop. The repair videos are always top notch but its nice to have a break away from time to time to see the banter between the two. The SMA channel is about the entire shop life too. Both always smiling and laughing with each other. I sign of a great marriage. Great job.
If there was nothing else in these videos, just watching the love in the eyes between you and Mrs.O is well worth the time in watching. God Bless your family Eric.
Nice video as usual. Vanessa takes good care of you...good cooked meals, taking care of customers, a little humor, and a little egging...pleasure watching you both!
Eric, I've watched and enjoyed so many videos I feel like an employee! Nice shop, tools galore, lifts, lights and over the top skills and a sense of humor! Thanks Again Bob
Thank mr Eric o. After watching your brake videos I felt I could do my own. And to my surprise I actually did it and you know the car even stopped!! Lol. You do it so often I know it’s boring but it really helps “the people” save money and get the satisfaction of completing it yourself. Even had my son help which is priceless. You two rock!!
You're videos are absolutely amazing. I initially found your channel for the diagnosing side of things. But I stayed watching for reasons other than just that. You are such a good down-to-earth person and the chemistry between you and your wife is amazing. The little additions of you and your wife like in this video just make the videos that much better. Right now, I'm going through a tough time in my life and watching your videos gets me through. I want to take a minute to thank you for all your time to make these videos. I truly wish you and your family the best in life. You all deserve it.
Came back to this videos after many years to help remind me the easy way to do the brakes on our Rogue. It was the first video that I came across of Mr O just by chance. After this one video I was addicted and couldnt stop watching SMA. Even watching it again I still laugh. Thank you Mr O. for all the teaching and all the laughs
I like his channel he does not use foul language. I also worked for Jasper for 5 years. They treated us good but there was a layoff and I went in the navy where I spent 7 years on submarines and got hurt bad lost both leggs
On board the submarine I was out to sea and we were doing a torpedo MK 48 and a chain broke which was rated for 20 ton broke at 14 tons. Made in China When it swung it crushed me from the waist down. I was medicated by helicopter to a hospital in Scotland where I spent 2 months before being shipped to a hospital in the USA. But I can say I went around the world and hit a lot of port calls. My dad was a mechanic for over 50 years so I love your videos it reminds me of him working on cars. And also I have plenty of spare time
Get Mrs O a dam light! Lol I spent forty years eating sandwiches I made and brought from home, you're living like a king! Good video, I've had to rebuild many calipers cause the boot tore when tried to get the air out, the salt and crap on the roads here in NYC shortens the life of everything.
Awesome!! So much fun watching you two goin for gold while having fun doing it. We loves ya both! Oh yeah and on the Nissan whatcha-macallit... Great job.
When you said for the next 20 Minutes I was gonna have to watch you file, I sighed and kept watching fully aware that I can fast forward past that part... even the file part was interesting... hell yeah!
I modified my brake job skills after seeing one of your videos about six months ago. Not that mine were bad but I think (and now know) that yours are better, and after six months I haven't had one comeback (of course I will now). 30 years in this business and still, always learning. Thanks for the great videos my friend...
The infamous light sabre over the sweet potato reach around. Always entertaining and informative. Salutations to you, Mrs., O and the entire O clan....
I learned a valuable lesson from these instructions; A light installation for that dear sweet lady rates much higher on the scale of importance than a Nissan brake job! If mama ain't happy nobody is happy
Hi Eric. I know this video is a number of years old, but I am systematically viewing all of your videos. Here is what I learned in this video: (1) if you can do it, I can do it and (2) Mrs. O. owns you! Cheers!
I just did my wife's Sorento brakes and used the info in your other brake hardware video. It was slightly different than what I usually do and I'll admit, your way is better. They came out great. You can teach an old dog new tricks.
Nothing wrong with your filing......my fitting and machining training in Australia....no lifting of the file on the return stroke, it clears the file teeth of swarf, and makes it easier to maintain a flat surface. Keep up the good work.
Awesome break show, the interruptions make this channel the best on the internet super highway of knowledge, again your work ethic is above and beyond and so is Mrs. O!!
Entertaining and educational, all at the same time. I have a gut feeling, if the light had the strobe feature, you would of clicked it, and casually walked away.
After several shitty days of hurricane preparations and then the mother of all hurricanes, (IRMA), I needed a fun video with the wonderful addition of a beautiful lady. Made me smile. ;) And what was that, hmmmm, oh yeah, brakes... Good job..
Always love seeing someone else doing the work. :). Pretty good job working those brakes. Also, Mrs. O. is looking out for your health with the eating of the healthier choice sweet potatoes. Keep up the good work, South Main FAM. :)
I like your banter with Mrs O when you do your videos, she is a hoot! You cant hang a dang light in that little corner you give Mrs. O for her cooking???? :-)
I agree Eric, white potatoes are better. Good job, thanks, I finally realize those are parking brake shoes! Mrs O is a good sport plus makes you a great lunch.
When you told your story about your grinder and you mentioned you had just opened up your shop but didn’t have lifts yet, I chuckled a little because that’s where I’m at right now at 27 and have some tools and fix some of my coworkers vehicles. By the way I learn something new everyday with brakes, when you mentioned about the boot puffing. I’ll have to keep and eye on that next time I do breaks. Love your videos.
Those Astro nano impacts are great. I had to replace rusted out brake lines in my Alero and the fittings were super seized in the ABS module hidden way down under everything (thanks GM). Swivel adapter and the 3/8 nano popped them out with no damage and no problems. Wouldn't have been able to do it without the nano.
Okay brake service...ehhh, Eric kicking it with some humor and memory lane of his tools, (manly grunt); helping Vanessa, (manly hug); he throws in a blooper or two....(standing ovation and walking up to give him a fist bump and a high five to Vanessa).
Eric, I enjoy watching you and Mrs. "O"! You both are too funny sometimes, Thanks for your educational videos they have help me learn so much and the entertainment from the both of you. Hoping one day come by and visit once we retire.
Brilliant usage of segments featuring the dazzling Mrs. O to distract us and shift our attention away from the fact that this is a brake job and no Brakleen was featured.
Bone-in chops are great for grilling; you usually have crappy temperature control with a grill and they don't dry out as easily. Boneless are great for pan frying; you get more meat, a leaner cut, and with the better temperature control of a stovetop you can keep them from drying out. Neither one's ever a bad choice, but they do have their different strengths. :)
Ya gotta love the video even more when Mrs O. The Chef makes an appearance.Nothing enhances a rotor and brake pad video like boneless Pork Chops and sweet potatoes in a well lit kitchenette....
Great video as always Eric.19:11 Tip for Mrs. O, don't tap the edge of the frying pan with metal handled utensils, it may damage the finish, use wood or plastic instead.
After watching your brake jobs, I imported from the US the brake lube you use, excellent stuff. In Australia they wanted $50usd compared to $16usd from the States.
Thanks Eric. Seems like some weeks your videos are the only good things that happen in the world! Would you share with Mrs. O we understand it's tough to prepare gourmet lunches with and electric skillet, hot plate and microwave? It's always fun to watch you amp up the show for her and we get to share in the humor. Have a great weekend.
Just had the same discussion with my wife over sweet potatoes! Had them last week. Never really liked them either - just give me regular, white mashed with butter and salt, and I'm happy. Nice kitchen light there, LOL! :D

Your video's are always a little better when Mrs. O makes an appearance.
😂😂
I want some Pork chops
How could anyone criticize Mrs O? She's awesome!
Yeah shes the real good wife.
I was like, "Not another brake job video" but then Mrs. O came in and really brightened things up.
The people love Mrs. O and she can interrupt whenever she wants!
She will only help make the video better, and the thumbnail easier on the eyes.
It was refreshing to see both Eric O. And Mrs. O. Having such a great time at the shop. The repair videos are always top notch but its nice to have a break away from time to time to see the banter between the two. The SMA channel is about the entire shop life too. Both always smiling and laughing with each other. I sign of a great marriage. Great job.
She is the best wife I ever had... the only one but still the best one :D
The saying is "never change a winning team".
You're a lucky man Eric O....she's a doll!
I think Mrs O should host a cooking show on RUclips. I'd definitely watch...
In.
But then Mr O. would need to make an appearance in her videos for all the ladies watching so pretend borrow a kitchen tool for something
Suddenly you hear "What's for lunch, lady?" 😂
@@anthonycox9470 and if she can't find a spice.. "Well there's your problem, gentleman.."
Its always good when you include Mrs O
If there was nothing else in these videos, just watching the love in the eyes between you and Mrs.O is well worth the time in watching. God Bless your family Eric.
Step 10...replace CVT transmission.
Constant Vehicular Tragedy
yeah really. step 11...get a new car. one without a cvt.
HAHAHA! Nice one Ivan!
ivan Step 11- Krown / Fluid Film ;)
Jesus man what's with this Rogue rustproofing obsession of yours lol. I must have seen some version of this comment at least 4 times now!
Nice video as usual. Vanessa takes good care of you...good cooked meals, taking care of customers, a little humor, and a little egging...pleasure watching you both!
Your best videos incorporate your wonderful family. You are blessed to have them. Cheers!
Great job, all good! Zero criticism and props to Mrs. O for taking good care. Thanks for sharing.
Eric,
I've watched and enjoyed so many videos I feel like an employee!
Nice shop, tools galore, lifts, lights and over the top skills and a sense of humor!
Thanks Again
Bob
Best video hands down. This cat doesn't miss a step. No other video shows how to relieve air in a boot before replacement. I might have screwed up.
This is the happiest mechanic I have ever seen.
Every Tool has a Hammer Side !!!! Never heard that one before today !!! Eric, you keep coming up with new sayings !
Thank mr Eric o. After watching your brake videos I felt I could do my own. And to my surprise I actually did it and you know the car even stopped!! Lol. You do it so often I know it’s boring but it really helps “the people” save money and get the satisfaction of completing it yourself. Even had my son help which is priceless. You two rock!!
you guys are so great with eachother
Yeah after 20 years she lets me stay around...
@@SouthMainAuto
She just figured it was too much trouble to train another one so you're it 😋
Loved seeing Mrs O in the videos and how they interact.
You're videos are absolutely amazing. I initially found your channel for the diagnosing side of things. But I stayed watching for reasons other than just that.

Holy smokes man! Sorry to hear about that :/ Were you serving overseas or was it just an accident?
On board the submarine I was out to sea and we were doing a torpedo MK 48 and a chain broke which was rated for 20 ton broke at 14 tons. Made in China When it swung it crushed me from the waist down.

Good Man Eric the people need you. Man I know the feeling when your good.
I love her look, She looks right at the camera and gives that look of, See what I have to put up with?! Love it.
Get Mrs O a dam light! Lol I spent forty years eating sandwiches I made and brought from home, you're living like a king! Good video, I've had to rebuild many calipers cause the boot tore when tried to get the air out, the salt and crap on the roads here in NYC shortens the life of everything.
Awesome!! So much fun watching you two goin for gold while having fun doing it. We loves ya both! Oh yeah and on the Nissan whatcha-macallit... Great job.
Great idea but the setting needs to be the way it is. Maybe add how to cook on a hot exhaust manifold if stuck in a pinch on the road.
When you said for the next 20 Minutes I was gonna have to watch you file, I sighed and kept watching fully aware that I can fast forward past that part... even the file part was interesting... hell yeah!
Good video eric o. Brake job video and cooking show from Mrs.o Thanks eric for what you do
I loves me some Mrs. O. It's nice to see the real boss of the shop.
"Every tool has a hammer side."
Great words of wisdom
Another great South Main Auto Repair/Home Repair/Cooking Show. Now back to the hurricane Irma news.
Yep, Love Mrs. O (she funny)
That's entertainment!
Thanks Much!
Eric, could really use a video of you doing one with the electronic parking brake.
LOL, if WE have an obsession with brake cleaner?? Why yes, yes we do. Let the spraying commence.
This is the best You Tube channel ever!!!
That Binford light looks like it could cook the food.
Noticed how you say "Come on little fella" more the older you get. P
I modified my brake job skills after seeing one of your videos about six months ago. Not that mine were bad but I think (and now know) that yours are better, and after six months I haven't had one comeback (of course I will now). 30 years in this business and still, always learning.

oh dear!
YOU GUYS SURE DO HAVE FUN :-) ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE MRS O.
As always a great time watching you and Mrs O.
The infamous light sabre over the sweet potato reach around. Always entertaining and informative. Salutations to you, Mrs., O and the entire O clan....
I learned a valuable lesson from these instructions; A light installation for that dear sweet lady rates much higher on the scale of importance than a Nissan brake job! If mama ain't happy nobody is happy
Uhm, you just burped a piston boot. Never seen that before and you captured it perfectly with that closeup. Pretty cool sir! Thanks!
Very Nice! Best part of my day.
Now I’m Hungry! Thanks for Sharing.
That light is a heck of a lot brighter than that little lamp lol... nice video as always...
Sod the brake job ,, its good to see the Awesome legend that is Mrs O :)
Looks like you and your wife are having a great time Eric.
God Bless you
we love miss o she always has a smile
Hi Eric. I know this video is a number of years old, but I am systematically viewing all of your videos. Here is what I learned in this video: (1) if you can do it, I can do it and (2) Mrs. O. owns you! Cheers!
Once again, the quotes just keep on coming! And lunch looks great too!
Ok the boot trick was sweet
always been a fan of NAPA premium brakes..good product and comes with new stainless hardware
I just did my wife's Sorento brakes and used the info in your other brake hardware video. It was slightly different than what I usually do and I'll admit, your way is better. They came out great. You can teach an old dog new tricks.
Nothing wrong with your filing......my fitting and machining training in Australia....no lifting of the file on the return stroke, it clears the file teeth of swarf, and makes it easier to maintain a flat surface. Keep up the good work.
"Step one", grabs wrong wrench. Love your sense of humor.
Awesome break show, the interruptions make this channel the best on the internet super highway of knowledge, again your work ethic is above and beyond and so is Mrs. O!!
Thanks for the tips Eric O. It seems you and ETCG had some humble starts. But Look where both Erics are here today!!
Entertaining and educational, all at the same time. I have a gut feeling, if the light had the strobe feature, you would of clicked it, and casually walked away.
I had to change the rear rotors on my daughter's 2009 AWD Rogue. You made it look easy.
Lots of pepper on the chops, excellent.
10:47 "You don't want to eat lunch" "No. Not if the people need me" -- that was the best!!
Your best video yet. Hmmm, must be the great banter between you and the fabulous Mrs. O.
More butter, please!
After several shitty days of hurricane preparations and then the mother of all hurricanes, (IRMA), I needed a fun video with the wonderful addition of a beautiful lady. Made me smile. ;)
And what was that, hmmmm, oh yeah, brakes... Good job..
Always love seeing someone else doing the work. :). Pretty good job working those brakes. Also, Mrs. O. is looking out for your health with the eating of the healthier choice sweet potatoes. Keep up the good work, South Main FAM. :)
Ah 2005. You started sma while i was going thru military training.
That was a fun year
I like your banter with Mrs O when you do your videos, she is a hoot! You cant hang a dang light in that little corner you give Mrs. O for her cooking???? :-)
OMG Eric, when Mrs O enters your space you get annoyed. So when you enter her domain she gets annoyed with you. Man that’s funny. You guys are great
I agree Eric, white potatoes are better. Good job, thanks, I finally realize those are parking brake shoes! Mrs O is a good sport plus makes you a great lunch.

Gotta love it when someone pulls out of the shop and in a panic throws it in park while moving when they skip step 9
Step 9 is very important... funny if you forget... after the panic that is
Okay brake service...ehhh, Eric kicking it with some humor and memory lane of his tools, (manly grunt); helping Vanessa, (manly hug); he throws in a blooper or two....(standing ovation and walking up to give him a fist bump and a high five to Vanessa).
Hi from Washington DC this is the first time I see your viveo nice job God bless.
Eric, I enjoy watching you and Mrs. "O"! You both are too funny sometimes, Thanks for your educational videos they have help me learn so much and the entertainment from the both of you. Hoping one day come by and visit once we retire.
Brilliant usage of segments featuring the dazzling Mrs. O to distract us and shift our attention away from the fact that this is a brake job and no Brakleen was featured.
Bob Mc I think Mrs O is very acceptable compensation for a lack of brake clean. 😅
Eric's blood sugar hit zero 00.00
Hit me right in da feels
Every tool has a hammer side, so true!
Bone-in chops are great for grilling; you usually have crappy temperature control with a grill and they don't dry out as easily. Boneless are great for pan frying; you get more meat, a leaner cut, and with the better temperature control of a stovetop you can keep them from drying out. Neither one's ever a bad choice, but they do have their different strengths. :)
Fantastic Eric O and Mrs O is just top 👍🏻
A brake job and a home cooked meal, or I guess a shop cooked meal. Nice way to to eat healthy much better than fast food. Great video.
Ya gotta love the video even more when Mrs O. The Chef makes an appearance.Nothing enhances a rotor and brake pad video like boneless Pork Chops and sweet potatoes in a well lit kitchenette....
I have a degree in fileology and I say the method of filing that puts food on the table is the method to use.
Thanks for the videos. I was able to fix my sisters brakes and save her alot of money, thanks again
Great video as always Eric.19:11 Tip for Mrs. O, don't tap the edge of the frying pan with metal handled utensils, it may damage the finish, use wood or plastic instead.
After watching your brake jobs, I imported from the US the brake lube you use, excellent stuff. In Australia they wanted $50usd compared to $16usd from the States.
Travelingman 1980 was wondering what this stuff was exactly
Thanks Eric. Seems like some weeks your videos are the only good things that happen in the world! Would you share with Mrs. O we understand it's tough to prepare gourmet lunches with and electric skillet, hot plate and microwave? It's always fun to watch you amp up the show for her and we get to share in the humor. Have a great weekend.
Love me some Mrs O.
Great video Mr. O! We learned someting about brakes, AND marrige. Super!
I like the NuWave induction cooktop your wife uses. Their pots are ridiculously expensive. But they work well. Nice video.
What.... my brake jobs never come with pork chops and mash. There's going to be a serious talk with the boss on Monday
LMAO
In new england you don't change brake pads/rotors because of wear, you change them because of rust.
Tragic Hero same here! And the ones in this video were pretty good to most I replace!
nabob14: agree with you totally,it's the same thing here in Canada, probably even worse. I really hate rust.
Paul Kirkland I'm in Nova Scotia.
Great video, brakes with Mr O and shop cooking with Mrs O, Loved it
Great vids. Enjoy your humor and work. Got a great woman Eric o.
Thank you for the advice on filing the caliper's "guides". I used to wire brush them with the Dremel and had a lot of "shiny rust"
You know the saying, happy wife happy life. 😁 Good video.
i really like your videos as you make them fun but informative. and Mrs. O gives them class
Just had the same discussion with my wife over sweet potatoes! Had them last week. Never really liked them either - just give me regular, white mashed with butter and salt, and I'm happy.
Nice kitchen light there, LOL! :D
Rear end job and mrs o in thump nail lol love your videos and you’re work ethic
Smacking the spanner gives you Coachman's Claw over time.
Pretty much a 'Double-O Comedy Show' this one - the look on Mrs O's face when you're ramblin' away is a picture :-) take care you guys.
