I’m just here for the rambling of Eric O😂
What was going on outside? Loose exhaust?
Only way to fix entitled people who do that very thing.. is to call them out... embarassment is a good way to modify entitled attitude.
@@TenmaFN Could not AGREE MORE!!!
Hi Eric, I'm also in the rust belt but up north. Caliper bracket are a big problem seizing the pads up and I wondered what was your thought on using a cold galvanizing compound behind the clips ?
Unfortunately my urologist uses the same vice grip technique. It's tough getting older
I laughed then realized you’re probably not joking
Wait until you reach the age when they lose interest at the front and head out back. I've forgotten what my doctor looks like nowadays but I can recognise his breathing behind me :)
At least your urologist uses a vise grip! When he start to use plastic tie straps I suggest yo change doctors hahahaha
Someday, when NAPA does become a sponsor, Eric will proudly announce, "This episode is brought to you by Napper, yes, Napper , a sponsor!" Medical authorities will then be baffled by the sudden huge increase in the number of of seizures, heart palpitations and fainting spells experienced by professional and shade tree mechanics across the country!
He gives them enough free plugs now, why would they waste their money to sponsor him?!
@@danr1920 They wouldn't. They're cheap. Which is why most shops use them over other parts stores. That and better kickbacks for high volume ordering. They've got fairly decent parts for the price though.
No he won’t
He will never be a NAPA sponsor..
Too many limitations
The irony is his shop is franchised by NAPA but they still won't sponsor him.
@@MrWolfSnack Mr Tire is franchised/owned by AutoZone as a parent company. They're not sponsored either. What's your point?
Most shops order parts agnostically. Whatever store gives them better service for what they need gets the business.
At the end of the day, he supports Napa because they help him get the jobs done. I work for a competitor of them, and if it wasn't for some people getting me insane deals on parts, I'd go to napper myself
There is a near-zero percent chance that most shops clean up the hubs and sand blast the caliper brackets - massive respect for your attention to detail!
Yes, I worked with a few like that
I'd end up with the comeback
Eric doesn't want a return. Other shops will make up a new thing to repair. Oh that's just your muffler bearings squeezing. I wouldn't drive it if I was you. That would be dangerous that's another 500 dollar repair
I wish I had a sandblaster to clean caliper brackets, it would be a lot quicker than the hand file I have to use .
All in part of making your job easier even at the cost of a little more work!!!
I end up having to use rotary wire wheelss and cup brushes to get some of the light truck/work van/RV brakes done so that I could install the new shims and pads. Unfortunately, we don't have a blast cabinet in the truck/heavy equipment shop I work at.
"People piss me off...one day I'm gonna go crazy" I'm right there with ya, Eric!!
It's comin man I'm telling ya
🙋♂️
We have reached a whole new level of narcissism
Yeah, I feel ya Eric. As a cashier I am frequently peeved by the self entitled Karens out there.
There's a reason I don't work frontend anymore.
After watching this, I'm certain I've never had a brake job done correctly, even when I did them myself. ;-) Love the dialogue, in full agreement.
Does anyone say 'not a sponsor' when ever Mr O says 'NAPA'?
I say that when I say NAPA
🤣Guilty!🤣
*Raises hand
All the time!!!!
*Nods
What!?! No hello viewers!?!…..okay I’ll let it slide this time because it’s a SMA brake video…
I doubt there are many other repair shops that take as much care as you do.
There is one in Ontario Canada called Ken's auto and fastlube I'm the lead tech there and we live by Eric o and his work ethics I've learned alot my self from his videos
True story
My boss wants brakes done in 20 mins...
.....whether they work or not?@@christopherenger1602
💯% agreed
Great way to start a Saturday: coffee and Dr. O
Same here in san diego
@@sterlingstephens7093 me too
I miss the Dr. O intros
Finally, some brake cleaner sound effects. Whew! I was going through withdrawals.
Finally, this can cure my lack luster RUclips recommendations 😆
mine were just as bad as well
Dont forget Ivan at PHAD. 😃
Lol 😆
I recently got into Vice Grip Garage.. quality stuff
@@GlycerinZ Derek has a great channel and he is a awesome guy at vice grip Garage channel
The " people piss me off " part deserves a like 😂❤
SMA brake jobs are like jello there’s always room for one more!
Well put, poetic even
That's funny. I was watching and thinking to myself, "why are you watching a brake job"? Having done hundreds of them myself, I didn't think I would learn anything. That's when it hit me. Eric's vids are so good, I have to watch them no matter what he's fixing. So yes, there is always room for more, just like Jello. 👍🏻👍🏻
"You got to see how I diagnose bad wheel bearings, you got to see a toot around town, " and got to see Mrs O.
clowns running around in Portland are really grinding my gears
NAPA is expensive. I priced out a brake job , they were twice what PEP boys wanted , and PEP gave me Wagner pads.
Thank you Eric for saying what most of us are feeling about humanity. Watching you work and deal with problems is like therapy for me and I try to take your work ethic and craftsmanship with me each day to work as I deal with daily mechanical/people issues. You are one of the Good Old Fashion Mechanics that we know and love. Thanks so much to you and Mrs. O for your videos.
My favorite was when they pulled up out front and honked for me to come to them, they always had a longer wait than expected. I never walked out to the car.
I do what anyone would do when someone honks their horn, I wave at them. I',m a friendly kind of guy. so I wave my hand not my FINGER.
There was a time, say 1930s to 1950s, when most gas stations had a hose that went Ding! when someone drove up to the pump, and then someone would come out to pump the gas, wash the windshield, check the oil, and collect the money. If a station didn't have the Ding! hose, or it was broken, it was proper etiquette to give a quick toot on the horn to announce that you were there.
But that was about 80 years ago, and things don't work that way anymore. (And some jerk laying on their horn back then would also discover that nobody showed up, or when they did it was to tell them to move on and not come back.)
For some reason a lot of people enter the driveway, park at the end so no one can get in off the street, and block the workshop.
One guy was told he would have to wait, so he locked his car in the middle of the driveway and walked off down the road.
@@lwilton really not that long ago. Still had majority of stations like that in the 80's. That all disappeared in the 90's when shop owners realized getting rid of two bays that produced $100,000 a year each could be replaced with food and drinks that produced $1,000,000 a year. Also went from two skilled pay jobs to three or four no skill jobs that could also extend hours.
Brakes are gravy train for the most part, unless you're working on light trucks or work/delivery vans. I think the reason why everyone likes watching them, is to see the different kinds of hardware and caliper designs the manufacturers use. It's easier for someone to do their own brake jobs at home on some jackstands in the driveway or garage when they have a general idea of what everything looks like and comes apart before they start taking it apart.
Just watch out when doing barn finds or vintage cars that you don't meet the wondrous invention that was asbestos brakes. They aren't dangerous to use - just dangerous for the guy working on them and breathing it in.
Best give Mrs O the keys to the gun cabinet🤣
Don't tell the RUclips comment section, but the FreyLube over by the tire machine makes a pretty good brake grease...
@Aussie101 It contains graphite, but so does Sta Lube and many other brake greases.
Eric, just want to say that Mrs. O is a KEEPER!!!
and businesses are for supporting community not for burning and looting
today people are "lovers of their own selves". (2 timothy 3:2) i agree with your comments
Yup, that's why I live in the woods. Hahaha you get more respect from the wildlife.
I work for $BIG CELLULAR PROVIDER. I work “behind the scene”. I’ve told my managers more than once “There’s a reason I work with equipment.”
On the next Episode of S.M.A. "You know what really grinds my gears..."
Nothing, unless your gearbox has no synchroniser rings in which case, not double de-clutching.
I complain about that stuff at my job all the time. "do you not see the other person already in the room?" and don't call them out because then you're the bad guy all of a sudden. yep.
"Nor do we want their sponsorship." Reverse psychology, very subtle Mr O.
HE can sign up to become a NAPA shop any time he wants. NAPA already has programs in place to do this.
Whatever happened to the old man with the electric scooter who used to occasionally stop by?
I was wondering the same thing the other day
I am fully entertained now, thanks Mr. “O”.
Hahohohehe to the funny farm where life is wonderful all the time!!!! Keep your cool Eric O it will be OK doing a awesome job keep up the good work!!!!
I played Minecraft with my kids when they where into that game.
Brush is definitely from a M16 cleaning kit lol
Also dude, sounds like you could use a break. Probably the most pissed and reflective I've seen you. Don't get stressed to the point where it's too late.
I have a standard phrase that I use on rude entitled people , it starts with capital F and ends with a little f. Some seem genuinely shocked that I react this way after they have haranged me in my own place of business in front of my old long standing customers. Still , it brightens my day and gives loyal customers a good laugh . 👍🏻
We call it the MeFirst generation
"Hold on, we gotta wait for the Napper guy, not a sponsor."
Yes, we weirdos love our brake jobs Eric. Keep em coming!
Good morning Mr .& Mrs O.,I totally agree with you, some people are really rude. Keep up the great videos and thank you for taking the time to video. Sure it takes up a lot of your time. Steve from N.B Canada
Nice job. wondering what went on outside because I’m nosy like that lol sounded like someone dragging their exhaust down the street …
Maybe a quick quiz see who guesses correctly haha….
Lol, i was thinking another car dropped off and ran, with a note inside!
No one says Chevrolet like you do LOL! Great video as always
I was a nice to everyone man, then they turned my town into a tourist trap. So many self entitled jerks that frequent that style of establishment. I am now know as the angry mechanic.... have to channel Eric;s positive attitude more often to save my sanity....
Just don't take life so seriously. Focus on your own life and own problems, what everyone else is doing is not of any concern.
Sensitive? I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's your call, fella. ;)
Another SMA nuts n bolts job....bliss! ASMR for gear heads :-)
If I had to take my vehicle anyplace for brakes, I would ask them...do you watch SMA vejeos?? If I hear a “no”...I”m taking it some place else or just doing it myself. A couple of years ago I thought I KNEW brakes and could handle any brake job. Then I started watching SMA vejeos and realized I had a lot to learn. Two years into SMA Brake Job vejeos and I swear I learn something every time. I love this channel.
I'll guarantee 99 percent of mechanics dont go to the extent that mr.o does when he does breaks. He's a true professional 👏
I've looked st what he does and thinks yeah...this seems like...what is right good smart and logical. So many mechanics I've seen just wanna get it done and ship it...yeah I'll spend the 5 minutes and do s good job
You DA man Eric! i've never met another mechanic that does THIS thorough of a brake job! Your customers really do get their moneys worth!
The ' EVIDENTLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I THINK I AM" crowd
Jeez, if these brake jobs get any easier and simpler, you can have your kids doing them !!!!! No rusted parts, no seized parts, no broken parts, no bent parts, no stripped parts, no rounded off head parts, just put on the wrench and EASILY turn it loose/free !!!!! Rust Belt Zone - Ha Ha Ha Ha ..... try working down here in Florida with the 25/8 - 366 salt air that you can taste most days !!! You keep your chisels sharp, nut splitters handy, torch at the ready, and a drum of break free, liquid wrench, PB Blaster, Anti seize, thread lock, grease, fluid film, brake clean, taps,, and easy outs !!!!! AND, dealing with cranky old retired people who holler price gouging, rip off, too expensive, over priced at your estimates !!!!! But we persevere and grin and bear it - all the harassment !!!!! We strive to do the best we can do and keep the customer safe !!!!!! Yes, Eric, I feel for you, sometimes, dealing with that 10% of rude people who come thru your door !!!! I'm glad when 10% of good realistic people come thru my door !!!!!!!! Not complaining, mind you, just giving a little sarcasm and a hard time in jest !!!! We do every day what we do, with a smile and a handshake, for the customer !!!!!!! I'm going to drop by one day at SMA, with coffee and donuts, doggie treats, a flower for Mrs. O.'s desk, and some cookies for the kids and your workers. And you and I can exchange an idea or two - or a hardest job ever story !!!!!! Keep up the great work and I enjoy EVERY video you make !!!! Thank you !!!!!! : - )
more brake jobs and wheel bearings videos wouldnt hurt me i love em
A pox on press in bearings. If GM can do bolt in, you know it's cheap and easy. PS WHERE'S THE SHEEP?! :) Agreement on people's poor attitude. Most sites? Yes. You? I'll take it to the bank.
seeing Eric do a brake job and a bearing makes me smile and go to work easier next day:)
@7:55 Does anyone know what that tool he used to push back the caliper piston is called? That thing is way better than my C clamp or pad spreader that I have. Edit: I think it might be the Lisle 24300 Speedy Brake Pad Spreader for single pistons. Looks like they make a dual piston model Lisle 25750 Dual Piston Brake Caliper Compressor as well. Took some searching.
I was trained in the military, and when the lining gets to the thickness of the backing plate, time to change them. ;) In my experience, when people go all the way to the bottom of the wear groove, they go ahead and chew up rotors too.
Replace the rotors anyways now. They are often times too thin to turn even once.
@@hungryjack8032 And most times anymore, if you do turn them, they warp even faster because of low quality metals. I hardly ever turn a rotor anymore.
@@farmermiyagi1338 Yup. And the two percent or less that get turned in the shop every year are done with an on the car lathe to get best possible outcome. For what a rotor cost nowadays, its often less expensive to replace them than to turn them. Sad.
You're not sensitive, you're just wondering how others can act without thinking of others. Being aware of and using common sense and courtesy should be a standard, not an occasional occurrence.
And also, 53 year old Minecraft player here.
33yr old Minecraft player here too and also mechanic. Its a amazingly good game to decompress on after a hard day of wrenchin'
I love a good bearing and brake job with a bonus rant.
You're never too old to play Minecraft. My kids got me into it many years ago when they were still in elementary school. They're both grown up and moved out now - but we STILL play Minecraft together from time to time.
I'm glad we were able to talk this out. My wife is looking at me though.
I could give a flip about people’s feelings. I call people out like that. “Umm excuse me, we are having a conversation. You can wait a minute.” We all shit on the same pot at the end of the day. Nobody is more important than anyone else.
My Saturday eating breakfast drinking coffee watching the dawg do his magic 🤣🤣🤣
Hate it or love it, I just enjoy a non-pretentious American doing what he loves. Lets face it there's a lot of American mechanics who think they are gods gift on here. Well done mate, from Australia.
put some fuel hose on the end of the vice grip jaws and clamp away :)
Thanks for the great video! I always like to see the various techniques to remove a hub. Appreciate the thorough brake job too with all the proper cleanings and lubrications. Top notch and first rate!!!!
Got a good chuckle when you mentioned the Lego games and now Minecraft. I play Minecraft Dungeons with my family. Funny how the muscle memory for the controller comes back quickly. Thanks again Eric!
Thanks for the wee tour around where you work, pretty little place.
Top tip for cleaning caliper pistons, paraffin and wire wool😉
Regarding clamping the brake line.
Only type not to clamp is braided lines, that's the one's that get damaged.
Cheers for another video full of good content, wit and humour.
Stay safe and enjoy your weekend.
I had a ‘14 Malibu, and fun fact, the front and rear wheel bearings are the same part. I thought that was a good Chevy move!
So glad I live in Texas where my vehicles don’t rust and rot away
But all your rubber and plastic parts melt and rot away from UV exposure and destabilization of the plastic.
@@MrWolfSnack Takes a long time, longer than rust takes.
I live in Texas and drive a 2003 Lincoln with no rust anywhere. I’m glad I don’t live where they use road salt.
Well Mr O , I am one of those persons who will tell someone that interrupts that they can leave through the same hole in the wall that they used to come in . If I am politely talking to a client , not even the King of Sweden has the right to interfere . I am king in my shop . Not the client . That´s because of all the years people have pissed me off with their little problems that so called only take a minute . Show respect and I will respect you back .
I say alot of crazy things myself when working on cars, it's almost common place, lol, Liked the vid
Love your videos man!! Just started watchen them recently wish id found ya sooner! Thank you!!
"People piss me off." Yep, that's why I don't work on other people's vehicles!
I just wanna say thank you I watch most of your Videos and I’ve learned a lot from them and there great entertainment and you matter keep up the good work god bless man
Always on stand by for t great SMA.. We always learn something because it's a different vehicle or not just the simple job. Eric keep them coming when time allows.
Another video of brilliant social...and mechanical commentary, Eric. We have become a people with wanton disregard for others. I have also noticed that fellas, and ladies, will talk right over those with whom I'm already speaking. Entitlement and narcissism are the problem.
Oh baby!! Time to put on a pot of coffee and watch the new SMA video!!
always nice to see the beautiful Mrs, O!
I agree with you Eric, people have lost their civility. Humans behaving badly.
Spraying Fluid Film on the hubs before installing rotors is a bad idea. I did it once and never again. It flings outward when the wheel spins and contaminates the brake rotors & pads. It was all over my wheels after a test drive & breaking in the new pads. I had to take everything back apart and clean it off. Use a thin coat of high-temp anti-seize instead.
I could watch brake jobs, wheel bearings and suspension parts replacing all day long.
Just did my first break job on a 14 Cruz at my new job thanks for everything you do Mr O
Mr. Safety puts his seat belt on as he's traveling down the road.
I cracked up at the minecraft reference, I love that game. Much love from Buffalo Dr O.
53 years old here - I play Minecraft EVERY day. Relaxing thing to do after a day's work. Loved Lego's as a youngster too.
BTW - June...and the lady's winter tires are still on? SHAME! That's the car equivalent of wearing your morning house coat at 5 in the afternoon!
Yes sir I’m 65 and still swinging a wrench and teaching 13 students a day and how to do the right thing the right way the first time and let’s not forget test don’t guess
I wear my housecoat and slippers to the supermarket
likewise loved legos and then minecraft
The death of "common courtesy" began when folks started knee-jerking the phrase, "violence is never the answer". Some folks are in **dire need** of either being slapped, or being threatened with a slap (or a good ol' country ass kicking).
My vote is for the ass kicking.
If there weren't any lawyers, the guy would be flung across the room like the can @ 15:30.
Don't underestimate the 'how NOT to' genre of RUclips videos. Wisdom eventually comes from the culmination of bad experience, over years. To accelerate that learning curve, let others entertain and show you what happens if you don't do things right. Great teachers like Eric adopt a work flow that avoids those entertaining mishaps, ha ha.
Thanks for the video! How's Vinny? Haven't heard or seen him scootin' by.
I'd also like to know. He used to just hang out. Hope he's doing ok.
me too..
Me three
A guy I had little respect for, (due to his bad drug habit) told me how to find which side has bad hub bearing. Raise vehicle, hold 1 hand on lower control arm, rotate wheel with other hand. You will instantly know if bearing is bad. WORKS every time.
@Aussie101 Yes, you will feel the roughness. I didn't believe it either. Turn wheel slowly.
18:50 Can I just say your Minecraft rant made my day, thank you
Our Shop is a Napa Gold service center. Funny thing it was a Big A auto parts store and a private shop called Small Car Shop, 35+ years ago.
I havent heard the Brake Kleen sound in so long, it kinda startled me, I'm not gonna lie!
I've been a mechanic for 42 years. I love watching someone else do a brake job.
I certainly appreciate that you take the time to bring us along, even on these "bread and butter" jobs. I'm sure running the camera doubles the time it takes to do these projects. Thank you for all the great content.
14:46 -- the return of the brakleen tune
With an ad right before. Well played, Mr.O
We refer to "entitled people" as Adam Henry's...
Would that be the same thing as Alpha Hotels?
@@kenmohler4081 guaranteed
Brake job video! I was jones'n. Now I'm ready for a new can of Brakleen!
When you go crazy, will you film it for us?
Yes yes 😂
I just watch these to see how many MORE gray hairs your gonna have on that day then you did on the video before. Lmao. You have to get use to NY people attitudes brother.
When people do that, talk to you like the other person's not there. You SHOULD say 1 "do you not see me talking to this person, and 2 "don't you think it's EXTREMELY rude to interrupt us while we are talking.
" excuse us for talking, while you were interupting" works every time!
That is so rude how RUclips just walks up and starts playing commercials while Eric is talking. They act like we are just Chop Liver..
If you're a Firefox user, may I recommend "Enhancer for RUclips" addon, say byebye to ads for ever! ( different browsers have other addon options, you will need to check)
Four winter tires in June? Well, they won't be on there much longer
They look pretty good. Guessing it is a rare driver.
You didn't welcome us back to the south main auto channel!
Gotta quit saying NAPA "not a sponsor". As long as you keep mentioning them they are a sponsor but without having to pay for it! LOL
Napper
I also was a fan of the Lego when I was a kid. Legos are always fun.
