'20 Jeep Cherokee Rear Caliper Replacement

- Опубліковано 12 сер 2023
- In this video I fix a ladies car that came in with a complaint of a "whomp,whomp,whomp,whomp" noise in the rear. I took the Jeep for a shake down only to find out the noise is coming from a severely warped rotor caused from a locked up brake caliper. Easy enough.
-Enjoy!

Actually caught you in the first 10 minutes.
I was not going to say anything about this but...
Last winter, after watching an episode where you went out to a junk yard in the rain, I ordered up one of you zippered hoodies.
After two weeks, of looking at the Tspring sight and trying to figure out when it would show up (kept saying..in production or something) I told them to cancel the order (they charged my card the night I placed it).
The robot answering my email enquirers kept assuring they would refund my card immediately...
They never did.
I like your channel and have subbed for a long time but...Tspring..or whatever they are calling themselves now are bsht.
A $52 lesson learned.
Keep up the good work.

Which torque wrench is that??
I'll bet your customers are grateful that they have not only a darn good mechanic but an ethical one. Thanks for the great video.
He is but no one would film unethical behavior if they weren't ethical. So you're getting mostly ethical mechanics on you tube unless they do a mixture and only film the ethical repairs. Not saying Eric, just saying who would be crazy enough to film unethical repairs?
@@Clearanceman2 lol, I've seen some very questionable stiff on UA-cam. maybe they just don't know? idk
customers are a holes ! greatful? ha ha ha, I would turn their vehicle into solid gold and they would still complain it's not shinny enough ! everyone hates mechanics, nobody respects us, everyone thinks anyone can do it
The give and take with Mrs. 'O' is priceless. It really brightened my day. Of course watching a pro at work even on brake stuff is always educational. Keep on keeping on sir!
Sunday evening SMA? I'll take it!!
Only thing better is Bellos Kustoms!
She got you all flustered there, buddy. Love the interaction with the two of you.
Dose of his own medicine.
She did get you flustered! Too funny! Cute girls do that to me, too.
in this sad day and age... these 2 are a breath of much needed fresh air ! thanks .... oh the wife wanted me to say Hey to you guys and also from me to.
someday she will end up leaving him for a black man - all mechanics end up getting divorced - women hate us cause we all smell like grease even in bed making love
You and Mrs O have been married 20 years and work full time together and still act like a couple newlyweds, I love it! You guys need to do a video on How to keep the fire burning for a good marriage, a lot of us could benefit from the advice. Thanks for what you guys do with this channel
You have a Beautiful wife and family .in this life today ,I'm So Proud to see families staying together 😊
Mrs.O is like a ray of sunshine when she's in a vid . I haven't set the park brake in a car or light truck that I've owned in at least 30 years . Living in northern Canada and having the cables freeze solid overnight a few times brakes you of that habit .
Those who watch only to see a mistake, need to do their own videos where they don't make a mistake. Mrs. O looks great and knows her stuff.
Appreciate you taking the time to chat with me the other day. I know your busy and I just stopped in. But was a refreshing pit stop on my way home. Nice little town in a beautiful setting! God bless ya man and keep doing what your doing!
Hey, anybody who gives the time of day to a "Bears" fan is a very decent fellow, indeed. Go Pack; F Da Bears.😊
I think he might be a buffalo fan not that it matters.@@jamespfitz
@@jamespfitz we shall see my friend lol
Go Seahawks!!!
I had also stoped by and talked with Eric a minute or two. I’m from Chicago and was out that way for a family reunion and we were on our way to the Falls before we went back home. Nice location and town. It’s all about the people. There were some others that also stopped in to say hi to Eric when I was there. Probably the most popular person in town!!
1:50 Mrs. O interactions never get old hahaha
My contribution is that Mrs. O should supervise all your activities on video. She will keep you on point and keep us entertained.
you gotta love Mrs. O . you guys make a great team !!
I really enjoy your videos. I am a fairly good DIY mechanic and very much admire the way you turn wrenches. Thanks for being you.
That’s a damn good job. I also think it’s fantastic that you and Mrs. O can work together like this. Not every married couple can do that as successfully as you. You have a true family business and I think that’s a fantastic thing
My buddy and I did a similar job for a neighbour but with an interesting twist. Same customer complaint except a front wheel. Parts cannon fired same as yours except he didn't need a rotor. Bled the new caliper and off for a test drive to discover the problem not fixed. Super hot and same smell. After a fair bit of discussion we changed the only thing left, except the rotor, the brake hose and that solved the problem. My buddy said it took thirty years of automotive experience to see another one. I have fifty years and had never seen an internally collapsed brake hose until that day. The master cylinder had enough pressure to push past the obstruction and activate the brake but wouldn't release properly so lots of heat from the friction.
Another great video Eric. Always nice to see Mrs O
Needs a SMA jean jacket in the merchandise store now
2020 and it already needs a caliper that just shows jeeps quality
Love how you and Mrs O work and joke around together..... Thanks for the video
Mrs O has an impeccable sense of style. Looks great.
You have a great relationship with your wife. It really adds to your channel.
Your videos are both informative and entertaining and the interaction between you and Mrs. O are priceless. It is nice to see an ethical shop these days in this crazy world of the up sell.
You should get a kiss @$$ star 😂
I love to hear the little kids talking about there old days. ✌✌
Got my Jean Jacket ordered! So excited for the next Jeep to come in so I can wear this bad boy
😂
Top repair video once again Eric O. A little bit flustered today though Eric talking to Mrs O. Mrs O is always cool
Living close to a mountain, you can always tell when a new SWIFT driver figures out the rectangular pedal is the brake and rides it to the bottom of the grade. If you're lucky, there's even a grease fire.
Happy Sunday Mr & Mrs. O.
Yup. Usaly see at least 2 Swift trucks a week in the break failure trap at the bottom around here. Lol 😂
Pleasure as always Sir, you guys always makes my days better when they are gloomy 🍺
always a great video when MRS O MAKES A GUEST APPEARANCE
Welcome to Eric O's fashion tips!
I'm sure we'd all agree that Mrs O rocks the half denim & dress look 😚
It is pretty weird, but I could smell this video the entire time I watched it. Smoked brakes is a smell that can't be mistaken, unless it's a smoked clutch.
Or burnt gear oil
@@jasoncassidy2517 I love the smell of burnt gear oil in the mornin.
Almost as bad as burnt-to-the-ground ATF!!!!! Especially when the pan doesn't come down as you expect and pours all over you! Instant shower time!
Great channel, Eric's narration makes this channel. That was not just Jeep brake smoke, that was the smell a Chryco product makes just before the big KaBoom. Of course I am talking about how there will come a day in the not too distant future when your Jeep product will not only let you down, but it will drain your bank account to zero. True story. How do you make a Jeep go faster? Ask the Tow truck driver to, "Step on it".
Jeep, literally keeping the towing Industry in business.
Great job young man as always. And your shop helper is looking great. She must be a very happy wife. Wish y’all all the happiness in the world.
I can tell you are in love with Mrs O, you get all flustered when she comes around! Her outfit looks perfect! Jean jackets always take me back.
You and the misses are my experts. You two just crack me up. You are both blessed.
Definition: Expert - a drip under pressure. Mrs O is a very special person - she looks after you very well.
Always a lovely treat to have some witty repartee with Mrs O. 👍
@ClickOnProfile544 Piss off, scammer
The fact that this is a ‘20 is concerning to say the least..but I’m not surprised.
Guys, the big hair comment brought back a memory from high school. My best friend was so particular about his hair. It was parted down the middle and, of course, he had it all feather back PRFECTLY on both sides.
When we would go any place, EVERYTIME he got out of any car he would ALWAYS check his reflection in a side window to make sure his hair was still perfect. He always smelled like he worked in a hair spray factory. Talk about a helmet head. In some states that head of hair might qualify as a motorcycle helmet. Even knowing all that hairspray was on there, he still check his reflection every time he got out of the car. The last time I saw him was 15 years ago. His hair was much thinner then, still jet black but now with a little salt in it. Steve and his hair.
Thanks!
Always good to hear from Mrs O
Always nice to see Mrs. O!
Thanks for coming in today Fella 👌🤙
Great job, Mr O, keeping Mrs O happy!
Vanessa is of course right about the length of the jacket 👍🤗
That happened to me a few years back when I did the brakes on my truck. Aftermarket caliper was fine when I did the brake job, it moved back into the bore ok, but after driving for a while the damn thing seized up and it was barbecuing the pads and rotor. Just one of those things I guess. Have a great night, Eric👍
I've totally upped my brake-job game since I started watching your videos, and my brake-job game was pretty good to start with. Now my brakes are smooth as butter!
Good job. Mrs O is a gem. Thanks
Another great job from SMA! I got my new borescope today and i love it. Thank you for the discount.
Great one again provided by SMA.thanks to both of you for my evening entertainment. Good people !
Watching this is a proper way to start a week
A wise man once told me : to define expert, you break the word down to it's component parts. X in higher math is the unknown, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. ( nothing personal, E.O.) It always worked for me. But what do I know? I'm no expert. Another great video. You are my muse.
Mrs.O is a real gem...treasure her,always.
God Bless.
i like the attention to detail and relaxed vibe
Also, I’ve got to comment on your humility! Your skill at repairing motorized equipment is incredible! But, your admission of mistakes and your humility is even more incredible! Living proof that “bad boys”(and girls) CAN be rehabilitated! LOL!
Good evening. Love the banter with Mrs.O. Tell her she looks good in blush red. Always great work. Thanks.
My dearly beloved says Mrs. O picked the correct jacket😊
I tried to report that guy on tiktok but just couldn't find how to ☹ Great video , you and Mrs O together always a bonus 😊
Man, you know it's gonna go smoothly when the parts are right the first try! I love it when the feng Shui happens!
6:20 wow the pattern on those rotors is geometrical art!
Brake kleen sound effect cracks me up every time.
Another great job Eric. You have the patience and attitude of a real down to earth man. You are marvelous 👍
Luv the comments of your better half!! 😊😊 you are one lucky dude!!❤
Thanks Eric. You pulled out the stops, on the car , and getting a Mrs O fashion show!
Best videos on UA-cam just glad your content keeps coming out
I miss hanging out with you guys. Good times!. 6:20 wow the pattern on those rotors is geometrical art!.
It's great how you and Mrs. O enjoy each other's humor and work so good together.
Mrs. O IS THE BEST 😊
Great video eric...with all the crap thats going on in the world i can turn on my laptop go to south main auto site and i get a massive smile and a sense of comfort going on picks me up every time....professionalism and caring to a very high standard towards customers ... and to mrs o who i know is the backbone to it all ...regards joe from sunderland uk..
It’s nice to know I’m the same age as you guys…no wonder I enjoy your quirkinesses!
Some of us get lucky and find the right girl to spend our lives with! Your relationship with MRS. O is great. Reminds me of my wife and I
Great video Mr Eric thanks for the education, I use as many videos of yours as I can find, for refresher courses or if hadn't did that type of work before,
Eric, great job, special shout out to your helper, yep, she's a keeper. Thanks guy.
Overall straightforward job. No flame wrench. God bless you and your bride.
Hey from AK been watching all your videos can't get enough thx
Always makes my day with a little visit from Mrs. O.
Mr O is so lucky to have Mrs O❤
You are very modest in your comment about not having special knowledge, you are very dedicated, just the idea of working in the rust zone and do what you do is challenging enough, while some mechanics with clean parts they do not accomplish what you do, and for that my congratulations, I am just stating facts, the only complaint that I have I just cannot find a good mechanic I can trust my car to and in some occasions I have to redo it myself
I miss the sheep ba-ba-ba-ba with the fluid film. Best channel on UA-cam 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great! T55 for the brake caliper bracket bolts. Enough trouble after 2 months, imagine 5 years or more. Great job as always Eric.
Good job, Eric, good job. Your helper looks pretty nice too
Because of you, everything I use a break clean bottle, I play the music inside my head.
Same thing happened to my Father's 2014 Ford Transit Connect minivan back in June. I did a full pad and rotor swap on all 4 corners back in January of this year. His right front caliper is sticking so badly that we originally thought it was transmission damage - there wasn't any pulling to the right but there was a huge, massive vibration that would only occur after the vehicle had been driven for about 10-15 minutes, and the vibration was so bad that the steering wheel would be flip flopping back and forth. Then I noticed the massive heat difference coming from that passenger side front wheel! Vehicle had about 125,000 miles on it at the time with the original calipers. I also did a full brake fluid flush on it last September without any issues.
Hi, fyi: I had a break hose that looked ok on the outside. But found it had come apart on the inside such that, when you pushed on the break, pressure flowed to the caliper, and when you released the pressure would stay. It burned out several set’s of pads, before we found it. Great videos. GB from Michigan.
He did say his boy Josh broke the bleeder screw loose and it was still not released.
Wow! That new rotor was beautiful!
Thanks for another awesome video. Great job as always.
Great job on the fix Eric keep up the great work!
Hell yeah, a new video!
Perfect thing to watch while on vacation in the upper UP, while drinking a tall boy Miller lite! 😊
Aqua Net. First thought was of my Mom. She used it a lot. You're a good dude. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Please let Mrs. O the people love to see and hear her. Thanks for the work you two put in. Seems like I need to pay Mrs. O's mom a visit to hear those lovely stories
Great job as always! When we do that type of job we always warn the owner that the wheel bearing may fail soon after depending on how hot they got it and for how long…it can cook the grease right out of them if it was hot enough.
This was very informative- the emergency brake relearn was interesting- I had this on an Accord because the bumper pad that gives adequate spacing to allow return of fluid to the reservoir
had disappeared/ when the brakes got hot the fluid could not expand so it the pressure never gets released
Another great video!! I can’t help but always think to my self, how many mechanics that may also work on these vehicles after you, have benefited from the fact that you apply the fluid film to the parts to keep them from freezing up after time!!! You are not only an ethical mechanic, but a thoughtful one at that!!
You two are awesome!!!!!
Nice video again, love the interaction with Mrs O, you are a very lucky guy, but I am sure you know that.
Your banter with Mrs. O. reminded me of a Benny Hill sketch. Benny Hill leans over and says "Good night mother of six", to which the lady next to him in bed says, "Good night father of one."!
Mr. O working on a rare treat - a rust-free car. Good thing this one is a 2020 - if it was a 2017, I wonder if things would have started to get crusty.
I agree with Mrs O on the location of the kombucha and the jacket!
This is how car videos should be, a mixture of fashion trends too. 😂
Eric, like it or not, you and Mrs. O represent all that's great about America and the work ethic that has, and continues to make America great!
