Just a reminder to QUIT CALLING THIS DUDES BUSINESS. You’re gonna ruin it for the rest of us. Thanks for all you do and the vids Eric 👍
Yep.
Ron Pratt also says do not call his shop either unless they have personal business the person wants done.
It blows my mind that anyone would think that’s ok.
Exactly 💯
That reminds me, I gotta call Eric & tell him he needs to lay in a supply of extra hats in the shop.
@@billscow While he's on the line remind him to make the video of the minivan door cable.
I've lost count how many brake jobs I've watched you do and yet, here I am! Thank you for taking the time to entertain and educate us
I recently moved to a state that salts their roads, and learned a lot about keeping everything moving during the winter months! Had to go get some of the purple stuff!!
I tell my sons that the difference between a great [engineer|mechanic|chef|electrician|truck driver] and the rest is that they're the ones who do the jobs nobody else wants to do, and does them with the same care they do their favorite things. We may not get to see it, but we know by now that's exactly what's going to happen. Good luck on that Sienna!
"Except for Volkswagen...which is 9 million...plus 70 degrees." 🤣🤣🤣. And we got the BrakeCleen noise! Thanks as always, Eric.
And the Fluid Film noise. Well I guess it is "Two's-day"!
Wonder when Rainman Ray is going to use the sound effects now that Eric used the phone sound effects he does on his channel
@@tobykenobe he did it 2 or 3 days ago!
I’ve been a diy mechanic for 40 years. SMA has taught me so many things, I’m a much better mechanic thanks to all these SMA videos. Never stop learning. Thanks Eric O!!!
Pre rusted rotors so the car doesn't look too shiny. A rust belt option 🤣. Loving your work 🇬🇧
Watching you do these jobs makes me glad I don’t live in the rust belt. Good stuff!
Oh, you're missing out on all the fun! LOL!
You did good saved the vehicle from a rewire with alternator diagnosis and fixed other minor fixes now the granddaughter will get a nice hand me down. Perfect !
Oh now he’s spoiling us with more brake jobs but let’s be honest, we’re here for the “come on baby’s” and commentary!
I'm just here for more of 4:22 and 8:17 as well as the whoa fella and the man down and ope there's yer problem lady
OMG... I laughed so hard at your VW wheel bearing comment as an owner of many over the years. I fully intend to buy a 40 inch 3/4 drive and the necessary reducers to fit the triple square necessary for this operation before I do the next one. I'm capable of exerting a lot of torque on an 18 inch bar with a 4 foot pipe, but really don't like when things break.
I'd get the 24mm twelve point in 3/4". It makes the whole setup less flexible. A moderate 4 - 5' cheater bar should do the trick. Also when you jam the brake rotor, make shure to employ a few wheel bolts - the bolt holding the rotor to the bearing snaps too easy ...
I may invest in a 3/4 impact and a T for two air lines. Ugga frickin dugga lol
@@TheRedstar91 I usually put it down on the ground to complete the 90 or 180 degrees... I do need to get a couple more new bolts to put on my shelf because I do have two VWs presently that require such silliness. And I thought the 230 ft lbs to torque the axle nut on my sister inlaws BMW was silly...
No hat, and no care. We had the brake clean sound, the fluid film, a brief insight at corporate America, and some cruising around town music! Thanks Eric!
Eric - your videos are valuable not only for the automotive knowledge and humor you pass along to us but also for the many life "lessons" and observations that are a natural part of them. The combination is why your have the best CZcams Channel. So, don't hesitate to put the video on while doing the door cables. I think I know most of the words but would certainly like to make sure. And, would also like to see how difficult the T-oyta is to work on. 😁
This guy makes me laugh with all of his terminology and all. 😂I guess everybody has been there and done that. Keep up the good work Eric. Always entertaining watching you and keeping us learning new things.😎
Thanks Eric, a pleasure to watch you work. Hope the folks there appreciate your work too. Remarks on corporate America: spot on baby, spot on.
Thanks for the tip on the brake pad springs - One bolt in the caliper, rotate it up, install pads and hold then with one hand, install the springs, then rotate the caliper down over them, install 2nd bolt. Yes, those are annoying.
You got a little grumpy without your hat on today haha as I told you in the past I like watching you do brakes there's always one or two little things that you do extra to make the customer safe that is one reason why there are others but safety comes first I knew one other mechanic and he would put bubble gum duct tape and super glue but not you always a good job love watching you
Thank you Mrs O for sharing your very funny husband teaching us all how to fix cars and trucks with incredible humor 🤣 R/B easy fix ect..
All though I’m from Scotland and have never been to Avoca, I figure I could find my way around town after having been on so many toots around town
Peter, would you have any problems driving from the Dollar General to Wilberts (Not a sponsor)? How about Eric's brother's shop? Could you find the Cohocton River? The NAPA store? (hard to find)? Nearest Burger King? Salvation Army thrift store (trick question)? Wendy's? How about one of the stone quarries? Welcome to small town America.
@@davidnull5590 Back in 2011 I rode my bicycle from Virginia to Oregon. The route passed through mostly small towns which made the ride for me. Second breakfasts in mom and pop diners were a highlight. We also rode through some near ghost towns in Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. Small town America is pretty special, folks like Mr and Mrs O are the lifeblood and glue. It’s a big chunk of the appeal of SMA videos for me.
Ok... just have to say, but but BEST BEST videos on the tube!! I just totally enjoy these brake videos!! Wooohooo!! haha
Quality work is hard to find, that’s why I now do all my own work. Wish you were closer.
You really do have it bad, your parts come pre rusted! 💯% agree with regards to the the corporate overlords
In the good old days his parts would smell like Weed!
Eric,
Great video and fix - thank you!
BTW you look great without your hat - beautiful gray hair just like mine!
And I never get bored watching an SMA video. SMA#1

Hi Eric, As I have mentioned in the past, I am a retired purchasing agent from Silent Chain/Sprocket Manufacturer, Ramsey Products. Once upon a time we had some problems with chains and sprockets developing surface rust on the long boats rides from Charleston, SC to Europe and further rides to the Eastern hemisphere. We discovered, overtime, the practice of brushing down our chains and sprockets with our homemade rust preventative, prior to packaging, had stopped. The "recipe" was a mix of weigh oil, rust preventative and a small percentage of mineral spirits. The mineral spirits provided at bit of thinning to the mix allowing it to coat the parts evenly. As the chains or sprocket sat the recipe would slowly dry on the parts proving a barrier to moisture. Well, once we began coating the chains and sprockets again, prior to packing, our problems with rusting, in transit, stopped. VCI paper is great stuff, but it is very expensive compared to the recipe. I hope I haven't bored you to death. I imagine spring is starting to knock on the door up there in the Northwoods. I hope all is well in "O" household. Take care, ASH
No phone ringing, dodahdoddado, no lunch, no Mrs. O? Thank you for your video!
I've been in the game for about 30 years in a different industry. It gets hard seeing it for what it really is. I try to find that desire to help people and be appreciated for my skills. Keep posting the videos, we appreciate seeing a master doing their thing.
Good vibes at you Eric. Hope it goes will with that door on the Sienna.
As an owner of an '03 Jetta who has replaced the wheel bearings before, the "nine million" comment made me chuckle pretty good.
I’m still using some of my dads old tools too. My son now has his tool box and uses it every day at work. It’s kinda cool sometimes when you grab an old wrench and remember it was his. Takes me back some years to when we used to work together.
Nice of you to help Wes with his latest boondoggle. Eric O=Integrity
Aircraft wheels require a pre-torque, while spinning tire, then a final torque, normally half the pre-torque, then tighten to next spot in castellated nut opening then cotter pinned. It sets the bearings ❤️🚗🎥
Yes you are right, have done many wheel changes on Planes. Good ole memories.
Gotta love taper bearings
Sounds like my '88 Ranger
Wheel hubs on newer cars do not use cone bearings, they use ball bearing with two raceway halves so not preloading to set just crank her down!
@@pudermcgavin4462 the amount of times people over tighten taper bearings until they friction weld together is amazing they didn't kill them selves.
Never bored Eric. Heck, let's face it, most of us are just here for the jokes and commentary.
You did a great job in repairing that pooped ladie's car. You saved her a boatload of cash and now she has a good car to give to her granddaughter. Here is great vibes heading your way to help you on the next job.
The Test Drive Rhythm and Blues toward the end always does it for me. Hope all goes 👍 with the Sienna.
Great repair Sir, good teaching, good video, good luck with that Sienna. Take care thanks 😊
Hah! Started the video and instantly thought "Eric's got no hat!". First thing Eric says "I forgot my hat".
Such a real deal fair dinkum mechanic making the world a better safer place.
My first car was a '54 Chevy, and I remember that I worried about the tightening specs on those front wheel bearings. Tighten until the wheel binds, then back off 1/4. Except my tight wouldn't been the same as Art's (the guy at the Mobil, who could lift a Buick), so that always worried me.
Plus those were ball bearings and not roller bearings so it was critical to get it right.
Eric Love your videos entertaining and informative.
Good video - I slept through 90% of it. Since I needed the sleep, I punched the "like" button.
Another good video.. i won't call you but i will watch all your videos..
You can start selling SMA ball caps and keep a supply at the garage for modeling in your videos.
On the cap it will say “well there's your problem Lady” LOL
Is his hair naturally white or what?
Always love your content, makes my day. Can't wait for the next upload... Keep up the good work, you are a good man :)
I swear, im happy with SMA videos.👍👍
The VW axle bolt comment about threw me on the floor! So TRUE!
Watching you work makes me wish I lived near by. Watching your weather and NY politicians makes me glad I don't! Looking forward to the challenging job of the Toyota van. Not fun for you, but entertaining for us!
8:16 Been missing that sound clip for a while 🐑
Just need to coat the pre-rusted rotors too (not really).
Arctic blonde hair works for you Eric. Thanks for the vid. Enjoy every single one.
I’ve done a bunch of those coolant lines. There’s a tsb about it now
Swearing is part of the job. We can handle it. I work in construction swearing is a normal part of the day, as well as bleeding.
Great tip on installing those beake pad springs. I certainly had been using the wrong method and wasting time. Thanks Eric.
Between you and Ivan, both of you are the best out there doing repairs and honest work, thanks for all your videos.
Yup and the point is there should be ZERO rust on a brand new brake rotor. Many parts in today's world are junk at best! I have been buying the brake rotors that are completely coated with the silver rust proofing, Evolution Coated Rotors. Zero problems with them.
It would be interesting to know if the rust forms around impurities in the metal which is why it's just spotty. Maybe it's where sweat dripped prior to being packaged.
Great Vid as always. Always amazed at how much rust are on the cars there.
YES!!!!!! all the sound effects are back.... and yes again SMA is not the same without all the sound effects.. just wana say thank you for all you have taught us, no matter how small you might think the job is it is still very important to all of us !!! you and mrs. O keep on being you guys thats what we all love bout you's guys...
FINALLY!
The sheep sound is back!
Made my day.
I need a life.
I did actually laugh when you said "unless it's a Volkswagen" in reference to the bearing nut torque. I think the torque spec on the GTi I had was like 370ft-lbs or something absurd like that. Tried to get it loose with a 4' cheater pipe over the end of my breaker bar, and all I did was snap the yoke on the bar.
rear hub nuts on aircooled beetles were notorious back in the day
217 Lb / ft or just shy of 300NM
Long lengths of scaffold pole with a suitable size socket welded to it were often involved. Failing that get a big lad to torque it up hard enough till he passed out
@@luviskol transit front 500nm
I do body work primarily but did brakes and minor repairs for good customers. I quit all mechanical work on any european cars about 5 years ago. I don't need the aggravation.
I needed a 6' steel pipe over a 1/2" breaker bar on the VW Passat I owned. I still didn't know if the wheel would stay on or not.😁
Think on Passat’s & Golf’s rear wheel hub/bearing was 200nm + 180•. Took a 3/4 torque wrench & someone to hold the ratchet to the nut while you swung
The reason for not making a video on the mini van while may be true is hilarious. I hope it goes better than you fear it will.
I like the commenting part. It is entertaining to listen.
Here's a good comment and suggestion without swearing, cheers from Northern B.C. Canada
Always enjoy watching your videos, Thanks stay safe
Finger tight axles in wheel bearings (especially without a castle nut) unsurprisingly ... feel like finger tight wheels on the car when driving.
Gotta get that verified checkmark... Otherwise I'll be the only one in the replies section.
I suppose he means the old guy used to working on open bearings. Those if you make them tight pinch the bearings.
@@robertgary3561 very true... I remembered this working on my bike as a 12 year old.
The nut holds the entire assembly on, and the bearings themselves are already pressed in hard enough from the factory.
That wheel bearing nut looked like it was missing the thick washer behind it with that cheap tin locking nut that you slip over the torqued nut and the cotter key holds better.. ?
My 2002 Mitsubishi Van has those tapered wheel bearings you can hand tighten. Probably is a spec for them.
I get those jobs from time to time that I would love to just turn down but usually they're coming from a family member or a close friend and I end up spending way too much time fixing it the upside to it is I feel like I'm giving to charity and we should all make some sacrifices from time to time just hopefully it doesn't cost any more than my time you're doing a great job man I love you videos they have just the right amount of comic relief keep up the good work
Another satisfying brake job video! Thanks for taking us along Eric and for adding the SMA humor!!
Eric, you mean you don't keep a spare hat at the shop?
Good job, love your views and opinions on the auto industry.
Keep up the good work. Hope there wasn't too much bad language while fixing the Sienna door cable.
I've been watching you for years Mr O from here in the UK. I'm no mechanic, I'm a comedy writer for TV... and I have to say, your hugely funny off the cuff chat is as entertaining as anything I've scripted or seen shown on TV here or there in the good old US of A... As for your reluctance to do a video on the door cable replacement " cos there's too much swearing involved". Well, although I suspect it would be pants pissingly funny, it wouldn't seem right to watch you lose your rag and drop F Bombs all over the place... I rather prefer the funny asides and the occasional innuendo far better than an Adults Only version of SMA. Keep doin' what your doin' and I'll keep watchin' what I'm watchin'. :-)
Bring back Benny Hill!
@@nsaglian Yep, I agree. Unique writer and performer... very much missed. And he was to sketch comedy what Eric O is to skilled mechanics, very entertaining.
But the humour would be in watching Eric trying very hard to NOT drop and F-bombs.
Thanks, Eric. You included all the sound effects in this brake video. I don't care if all you post is brake videos. I'll watch them all.
"Your hired" you are funny and very subtle. Thanks for your great videos And your sense of humor!
FINALLY!! The sheep has come back to SMA!
Sending positive vibs your way ~~~~~~~
My Subaru dealer was taking a long time to get my trailer hitch in for the install. Corporate called to ask how I liked my new Subaru and I mentioned how long it was taking to get my hitch, the next day I was called to set up an appointment for the install, so corporate listened this time. Always looking forward to your videos THANKS 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
I love watching your videos and listening to your commentary!
They must be New York specific rotors, pre rusted to maintain that proper feel, much like the New York echo!’
The ole “you’re hired” joke 🤣🤣🤣
Are we the only ones that caught that? I haven’t heard that since grade school and I am 76!
Just love it when you have a good rant at the manufactors they realy dont give a dam.
Best part of the brake videos is the 12 bar riff on the Road test👍
best line your hired 😂😂😂
I ask you, which is worse: The caliper hanging from the hose, or the shock load to the hose when it inevitably falls off from wherever you tried to jam it? In all the hundreds of brake jobs I did I almost never remembered to grab the hanger until after it fell off from wherever I put it. Even with that I never had a hose fail. I suppose if it breaks the hose and falls on the floor, you should probably be changing the hose anyway.
Umm, maybe make sure the caliper is secure in the first place, wherever you stow it?
Is the bench so far away you can't get a hook or bungee cord?
Eric....you absolutely need to film the Toyota ( AKA Scotty K's love child ) ...it's the swearing that would keep us fully engaged right there with you ....LOL . Blows off excess brake clean ... " you're hired " , that's entertainment folks . Keep up the fantastic content .... and good on you for honoring your dad by keeping his tools working as hard as he used to !!
Been watching your channel for some time now and have to say I’m really impressed that you seem to be a great mechanic and…a reasonable guy! You express life’s annoyances with humor and levity, without political comment! What a breath of fresh air! Please keep up the good work!
He’s a true mechanic with emphases on detail. He not what we called the flat rate mechanic that just bangs them out and has a higher rate of come backs. I use to pride myself on the low rate of come backs but would watch my mechanics work to make sure the jobs were done right. Word of mouth travels fast if you have too many and it will hurt your business.
Does anyone else feel like they could drive the roads of Avoca with their eyes closed because we've seen so many test drives here?
4:22 for the return of the brakleen noise
8:17 for the FINALLY return of the fluid film baaaa
What we came for! :) Well, that and another good brake job.
@@justj2729 always. :)
I cheered for the return of the fluid film BAAAAAAAAAAA. Thank you for the entertainment!
I'm with you when it comes to calling the customer service lines. Once upon a time, I thought companies like Dorman really cared about our input...but in reality, they don't. Why improve when they manage to peddle their junk to shops as it is? Improving would take effort!
man, i REALLLLY wanted to see the van door cable being done 😢
Eric I don't want to alarm you, but, I think I saw a Grey hair on your head!
Hey man thanks for the vid I consider myself a diy mechanic and you saved me some money. love the commentary you earned another subscriber. Have a good one and keep up the awesome work. 🤙🏼
@South Main Auto Repair LLC If it was just about anyone else I might be sick of brake jobs by now but I like hearing your stories, memaw's tips, and other sage advise. :)
Rainman Ray, probably goes through a case of brake cleaner a day.. 😆 🤣
You take breaks with coffee.
How does a man forget his hat ? This is something that come with age for me
Man I'm glad you solved the mystery of the hat, now I'll be able to sleep tonight. (musical interlude) 🤪
first thing i noticed, the missing hat
This is the most 'hatless' video I have seen from you.
You look tired and yet, you did a good job. Thank you.
You need to leave a spare hat at the shop
Started a front brake inspection myself the other day after not working on cars for about 40 years. I regretted starting it as soon as I tried taking the first bolt out. Now I know why I stopped. More power to you with that door cable.
I wish you would move to Alabama. We truly love your videos and the family. Keep up the great work.
Wow! The Brākleen sound effect, the Fluid Film sound effect, and the Avoca Shuffle, all in one episode. I would say it knocked my socks off, but it already knocked Eric's hat off, so...
As a current CDJR dealer mechanic in Missouri, I'm pretty taken back by the dealer you talk about with that Durango. Something like that is why we have the power to goodwill repairs and submit them to Chrysler. Anyway, I watch your videos even though I do this stuff every day. Everything from the brake jobs to the hardcore diag, I love it all, never know when you might learn something new. Thanks for all the great content and keep up the great work.
we all hate are jobs don't feel bad, great stuff thanks
Thanks for your honesty about turning down certain jobs. It’s nice to get to point in one’s career where you have enough experience to know when to say no thank you.
Awesome to hear even though she bought a new vehicle that she is giving this car to her granddaughter Eric O and she having you fix it that is awesome @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
If Mr O did a Whats up Stream, I doubt many people would complain😃
