I don't know what possessed you to do a slow motion segment with music as the brake clean flowed over the axle hub but I have to admit, you got me to laugh. Excellent work as usual Eric.
Haha I thought the people would love it
The wife shushed me for laughing too loud at that.
Adam Moody I know right?
That was an excellent addition!
I have to say the amount of time you spend cleaning up and treating metal is what sets you apart from your peers in the trade. They say "The devil is in the details", and most won't give proper attn to them...I'm impressed.
haywire17, They also say, "God is in the details."
Depends on how much you pay me
I believe both is true
Eric O. continues to blaze the trail of new achievement with this film, creating early Oscar buzz surrounding his haunting and disturbingly sensuous brakleen segment. Viewers worldwide have reacted with rapt and mesmerized attention. This is a real triumph in modern filmdom. BRAVO - Rating: 5 Stars * * * * *
Ya know, I'm a DIYer back yard mechanic wannabe type guy so I appreciate all I learn from Mr O's vids. Even if I wasn't though, I'd still watch 'em just for their pure entertainment value. Its better than watching TV!
Been taking chances for 38 years. Got me 3 kids but never a collapsed brake hose. Lol. Most entertaining video I have watched in a while. Keep up the good work!
Trinity got a stuck thermostat? Eric: I can feel the love and warmth in your family and you give a real care to car repair. Thanks!
Eric, thanks for bringing us along. I never can get over how picturesque your town is. It is like something out of a norman rockwell painting.
Ya Eric you need to give us a town history tower
I stumbled across your videos and find them very informative. I gave up watching TV and now watch YT vids instead. Anyone else do that?
"This is not gonna end well, fella"
_proceeds to bash on it then cuts it off_
Excellent!
Outstanding replacement. I'll be doing this job + today on my Daughters 2015 Prius. I'll be replacing all 4 rotors and front and back break pads along with the right rear caliper. Wish me luck!!
Oh holy crap man. Just finished another 12 hour day and commuted an hour to home. Checked UA-cam for updates and see this video! Really great to relax with your humor, excellent mechanic-ing and a cameo of your awesome family!
At 9:45 Eric asks, "Kind of monotonous, isn't it?" No absolutely not. I love seeing you work. You are clearly doing the best job possible, and that is an endless joy to watch. In addition, I love seeing all the ways engineers can design the same components to do the same job. In this case the shock goes into a bracket welded to the outside of the lower spring cup. It is so much fun to see this.
Loved the "Brake Cleaner Interlude".
Your videos are the best...after 40years in the business I'm still learning
I have been a subscriber for 2 years now and SMA has taught me alot about the proper way to do things and the confidence I need to complete the job right. One of the Best Auto Repair and Diagnostic UA-cam channels on here. Thank you SMA Richards"Mobile"Auto and Air
The closed end of a 14mm wrench fits great over the tabs on the parking brake cable to release it. Not as fun as the angle grinder though!
Eric I love your videos. Your commentary is worlds better than all the others. And at 6:35 you get brilliant. Slo-mo, great music, and your trademark break cleaner. Wonderful.
I like that you know just how seriously to take yourself in your videos. Once someone reaches the mechanical level you're at, you can have some fun with it.
love the BRAKE SERANADE VERY RELAXING. is the orchestra in the office with Mrs. O
Love the brake clean introduction, that never gets old
videos like this make me so glad I don't live in a place that gets snow all winter long. I don't have to deal with any of that rusty crap on my cars. Just a little surface rust here and there. I've owned my Integra 18 years and can only recall maybe 2 bolts that I've ever broken on the car - an exhaust manifold stud, and one of the OEM shock tower brace studs.
Why was I transported to the dentist when you used that pick on the rear hub (shudder), then laughter when I saw the slo-mo brake clean spray action. Great job on the car and the video. NB here (UK) so many cars now don't have a handbrake or emergency brake instead they have electrically operated ones which engage and disengage automatically so their use is definitely on the increase.
In wet, freezing weather the brakes can freeze in the set position if applied when warm. A lot of people in snow country have learned not to use the parking brake, at east in winter.
Don't tell me Scotty Killmore finally woke up and sent his Yota Prius to a Real mechanic , while he made another rant and rave vid with non laughable commentary , lmao . This people is a real technician at work , very educational and full of info , along with great work and family ethics . Keep em coming sir , great job again
You are the Godfather of the brake clean sonata...!
We just got hit with a little ice and snow storm up here in new Hampshire. Glad it missed you guys! Lovely new England weather
The slo mo stuff was AWESOME!
All sorts of people have suggested elaborate bleeding techniques. Your's worked perfectly.
Wow, Dr O! Slow mo brake clean!!!! Absolutely love that!! With music in background! Great video! Man, you got serious style! It's gets so better with fancy editing. Many, many thumbs up from me 😃 👍👍👍👍👍
Slowmo music was awesome
I once watched another video of a guy that did an LS swap to his Monte Carlo. Guy sounded like a southern All American bad ass. He flips on the ignition and BRAZILIAN music starts playing. Oh the things you never expect
Maybe he's a six million dollar man as he occasionally goes into the superfast bionic mode, for example cleaning the rust away from the hub and brake cleaner making that sound effect every time :D
Ain't nothing like the Full Douche-o Italiano on a Toyota with the only thing you need a case of, BrakeClean.
The brake clean with the music was epic. That made the whole video.
i did add a couple of flanged headed bolts and nuts with some rubber washers to my tool box a couple years ago just to plug off my banjos. seals them so they dont drip but more importantly keeps the dirt out.
Nice work. I did a pad slap on my brothers car the other day. He refused to replace the worn out rotors and bought the cheapest pads they sold. I spent about 10 careless minutes on the job.
I didn't even bother driving it. He said it was great. Not even squealing or squeaking. The rotors were not previously pulsating but had large groves on them. One of the inner pads was completely worn down almost metal on metal due to a sticky caliper (which I did replace).
The car will be fine as long as the only issue is the rotors needed to be turned. It will actually cause the brakes to grab better, but at the cost of those new brake pads. They won't last as long as they could have if the rotors were replaced/turned also.
If you have a stuck caliper piston, that caliper needs to be rebuilt. You may free it up but its only going to last so long. At least a new piston and seal. On some brakes, I am careful about which calipers I buy. I am not going to completely trust the phenolic pistons (plastic) long long term. Brakes are too important to keep working at 100%.
Replace your brake fluid if you haven't already done so!

@@snoopdogie187 I haven't turned rotors in 30 years or more. Rotors seem much more susceptible to judder after being turned, especially if they had it to start with. If the rotors are not looking and behaving well I buy new ones. Much better results.
*raises hand* parking brake user here also, for both manual and automatic cars. Knowing how the park function works on auto gearboxes with the little pin hold the weight of the car, using the parking brake seems like the obvious thing to do. My wife never uses it, but I do.
Obviously Avoca is not yet suffering the effects of over-population.
In Central London you pay £11.50 ($16.50) just to enter the zone. Poor people who drive older cars have to pay an extra £10 on top so total of £21.50 ($30) per day.
It's enforced by ANPR cameras.
You would also stand a good chance of getting fined for various rule infringements like 20mph speed limits, yellow box junctions, bus and cycle lanes, parking restrictions and ignoring traffic signs which can be too numerous for the human brain to decipher while looking out for all the other road markings.
You're in the right place Eric.
wow really twig ???? that sucks
Yes it sucks big time and don't mention that it's a Diesel!
Twig, You forgot to mention that while you are paying all those fees you will also be choking to death on Diesel particulates.
Gulp
I clamp my hoses too, also bonus points for the "ive been taking chances, its gotten me 3 kids but never a collapsed brake hose."
My take on clamping the hoses (I've never done it - I wrap the fitting and let it ooze) is that if the hose gives trouble after being clamped the hoses should be replaced all around.
parking brake remember when it was called your emergency brake with the actuation handle under the dashboard. and the starter pedal was on the floor next to the GAS PEDAL👍
Don't forget about the high beam switch on the floor
And your bright headlights were a button on the floor
And an accelerator pump and a manual choke
The mechanical parking brake saved my bacon while going down a steep hill and the brake line gave way. I was able to use it to drive to a local shop. What would've happened if I had the electronic parking brake?
+mikey mike On a few old cars there were two foot-operated switches on the floor: one for the high beams, and the second to engage the engine starter. The first time I ever saw this I was really confused, the car was manual transmission: one foot on the brake, one foot on the clutch, one foot on the gas for a cold start and another foot for the floor mounted starter switch. Humans must have been different back in the 1950s. Another setup found on some old cars had the starter switch beneath the clutch pedal, push the clutch to the floor and the starter would engage, even when you were driving. Perfect car to teach someone to drive standard.
I dig the slow-mo brake parts cleaner shot with the dramatic music. Keep up the video editing chops!
So, I have seen several videos where the wheel has come off while the car is moving, and always a day or two after some other shop replaced the tire. Those shop state that you must return to let them RE-tighten the lug nuts. This is because those shops do not clean the rust off the disks, which means the wheel is not solidly bolted down to the disk. As the car moves the wheel-rotor mating surface scours off the rust, and this loosens the wheel. In every video Eric cleans off this rust at every surface. When Eric is done, that wheel in on to stay. This is the joy of watching Eric work.
The 6 Million Dollar man was one of my favorite TV shows in my yout. Now I see how you beat the book so easily. I need one of those warnings for a ball cap. "Warning: Do not crossthread or overtighten". Never knew it could be fun watching a brake job. Great work Eric O.
Hope little Trinity feels better soon! She’s too sweet.
Eric- you have a wonderful family. You’re blessed!
I pinch brake hoses too never had a problem. But I like to use long rubber valve stems through the banjo hole too, no pinch your less mess
valve stems as plugs good one, I started using vacuum caps rolled through the holes, but the stems sound much faster!
you see it as mundane but you almost always teach us something new each time you do a brake job as always thanks professor O
I so enjoy watching these pre-pandemic videos. A much more innocent time!! haha FUN!!
Mr. O... I"m loving the newly acquired editing skills during the "Brake Kleen" portion!! Two Thumbs UP....!
I fell of my chair laughing at that brake cleaner smelling !
I in no way endorse this film, but I also fully endorse this film. 👏🏻👏🏻
You killed me with that little slow motion/bucolic italian music combo spraying on the brake cleaner!
And the oscar goes to Eric O for best slow motion brake cleaner video..
The SLOW MO brake clean will surely be a classic! The added music (Italian maybe???) was a nice touch but the short to long to short to long spray stream was the best.
Thank you Eric for saying "Aluminium" the right way ! I know, it's a big deal...
Romantic music and slo-mo for the brake clean! Makes me want to snuggle up to my can! You should have gone into the movie making business, Mr. O! Or maybe advertising...
Nice to see someone working on a car with salt damage! Living in Rochester, I have to roll my eyes when someone posts a video featuring a car that has lived its life in the Sunbelt. Well, time to replace pads & rotors on my 2020 Prius Prime! I'll wave next time I drive past on 390. Thanks, Eric.
That town is absolutely beautiful.
That slow mo brake clean made me feel feelings that I never felt for brake clean lol
ua-cam.com/video/q-V0q2gnRzY/v-deo.html
Lmao the feels are way too real right now
Epic scene: the good stuff in slow motion with that soundtrack behind, it should be included in UA-cam's 2018 rewind!
As usual good detail on your work proud to see there are still good mechanics in the industry
I dropped a like at the brake clean italian music. Well done again mr o
Ian McKirdy.. Same here 👍
Made me think of "The Godfather" well done.
To be honest I don't think Eric used enough of it :D
Another great dramatic video. A deep whiff of brake clean to clear the sinuses .🤙
Slow-mo on the brake clean. I love it!
super passionate man , its his passion to repair cars :)
Meet Ginger the impact driver. Perfect.
I would like to see a return brake job just to show the effectiveness of your grease/fluidfilm protection method.
I’m with you Eric I always use my parking brake. My driveway is hill and I don’t want my truck sitting on the trans pins
Another excellent video. I always use my parking brake, it’s much cheaper than not using it.
Now I know why you buy the advance brake cleaner over crc. Excellent video
That slow-mo brake cleaner spray and music put this video over the top for sure!
Eric, I love the channel dude. I work on cars in a shop here in Arkansas and it amazes me to see how bad the salt is on those cars up there. I mean I dont even see this kind of rust on 50 and 60 year old vehicles that even come into the shop
I rarely give a thumbs up, but 6:45 has an offer you cant refuse!
something so satisfying about brake cleaner. It really is a good feeling.
Great video on the Prius rear brake and caliper repair. Thank you SMA
Eric, I love your videos! Your sense of humour is the best! Thanks for making car videos fun.
I just put a tire valve stem in the banjo bolt hole. Works great.
Some of the best repair videos that I have ever found. Thanks. 👍
Thanks for getting another video out and I learn something every time even though you have 100 brake videos I'm a slow learner.
Love the time lapse bits....
Good clip. I like the brake cleaner clip, made me laugh out loud. I hope your daughter feels better soon.
I would like to see a Prius battery replacement in the future. 👍
You can also use a small worm-gear hoseclamp for an Ebrake tool.
Oh, man...the slow motion brake cleaner part was awesome! Just when you think you know all of Eric. O's tricks he adds a new one! Thumbs up!
Great video Eric. I think the best video with the slo mo brake clean and the music classy touch.
This was the funniest brake job you've ever done, I was laughing out loud on this. Thanks for the entertainment Eric.
Love the brake cleaner song
I am always astounded by how much corrosion you get there in upstate New York. Arizona just doesn't have that problem. Even here in Flagstaff, where we get a lot of snow, the city does not use salt on the roads. A decade ago they used a non-sodium deicer that did much the same damage and killed tens of thousands of pine trees along the roadsides, and that gave me corrosion under the shoes of my 2002 Prius rear drums. I recently gave that car to my son, at 205K miles he gave it its first brake service. The front pads were about 2/3 worn and the rear shoes were not measurably worn, so he replaced the front pads and left the rear shoes alone except for regreasing.
that was the best promo ever you cut for the brake cleaner.. that was funny as hell...
Important: When changing out brake pads and rotor only, it is totally unnecessary to remove the parking brake cable from the brake caliper. Just follow the brake cable forward ( a foot or so) and you will find a number 10 metric bolt that you will need to remove. This fastens the brake cable to the car body. Once this is removed you will have plenty of room to move the caliper out of the way avoiding unnecessary work. I know this because I have performed this job on my Toyota Prius a number of times.
Used to pinch the hoses.... Until i tried sticking a tire valve on the banjo hole!!! ;).... I still pinch hoses!!!! Feels good!!! great video as always Mr. O!!!
No matter how advanced and computerized vehicles get, they will always need good old fashioned brake and suspension work!
"Take a chance y'know, I been taking chances for 38 years. It's gotten me 3 kids but never a collapsed brake hose"
That's the kind of advice you need in life. Lol
Brake cleaning spot cracked me up-- great!
The sound of the pick on the hub. Brings nightmares back from going to the dentist.
Loved the Brake Clean minuet.
7:36 What a dainty deployment of that paper towel. I love your attitude man.
Yesssss!!!! slow motion brake clean
Best brake clean spraying i ever seen eric o. Good video thanks
Thanks for the video, always appreciate the brakes. Like your attention to detail.
Here's a cheap substitute for that parking brake cable tool- the box end of one of your combination wrenches. Just try different sizes until you find one the fits and use it like the park brake cable tool.
We use little hose clamps to do the job, quick and easy...
That's a good idea.
Eric O I absolutely love the videos. You are a topnotch mechanic. I went to trade school for auto mechanics but learn more from your videos then I did in school. As an old man I understand the memory problems you speak of on occasion. Ever think its the brake cleaner? If I used it like you I would be flying higher then a kite. Ha ha ha ha ha. I am sorry but I had to...............
C'mon Eric, everyone knows you get 3 kids from NOT pinching off the hose.
😆💢🤣😄👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Here in Australia, parking brakes r used all the time.👍
You make me laugh at 6am 😂. Good therapy. Thank you Mr O 😊
You say, "It's monotonous" while your lubing the caliper. Maybe for some, but the rest of us like the chit chat time with you while watching. Carry on!
That Brake clean money shot was priceless!
