He dumped half a can a braaaaaaKLEEN on that sunnabich !! And I like it !!
When I compressed the piston on one side, it only took about 5-10 full rotations but on the other side, I literally had to make from 50- 100 rotations but I finally got it. Any ideas why one side took so many rotations?
Prius brake jobs are rare, I have yet to see one come in with pads any lower than in the yellow
Dude your commentary is hilarious! "Take a chance" hahaha
The Autel scanner has a function for bleeding brakes. Do you know what is up with that? I thought may be it might be necessary to use a scan tool for brakes now. Will my wife might be out of a job?
Wiff the brake clean Guess I'm not the only one that likes the smell of brake clean Huh Eric O 😏 but the brake clean Segment was hilarious @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Super crusty Brakes wow at how far gone the pads are good video Eric O brake Clean Dunuhhh @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
They have brakes?
14mm box has less debris field than a cutoff but not as many sparks! Good vid
Enjoyed watching and learning. Humorous.
My rear brakes on 2010 seem to wear out very fast
hahahahahah i love when he snorted the brake cleaner LOL
👍👍👍👍👍 Excellent job thank you ,got a question for you replaced all 4 callipers and bled them,last year because the rears were sticking and not moving everything seem to be fine ,then this year when I took it out of storage they were doing it again in the rear brakes so I replace the rear hoses bled the system still happeningAny advice should I just take it to a professional technician like you
lol wow you must have 18 wheelers lined up to unload all the brake clean you use
"got me 3 kids" hahahhahahhaa
14 mm wrench
I love your small town. so quaint.
Still unsure why the ears of the pads don't get a dab of lube?
I catch hell for burning thru the brakekleen, but damn son!
That’s it. I’m buying stock in brake cleaner.
Thanks for reminding me to check condition of my emergency brake cable (I do use it semi-regularly), as I drive a 3/4 ton van down south a ways.
Eric can make me laugh without even talking 😂😂😂😂
Where did you use the fluid film????
I in no way endorse this film, but I also fully endorse this film. 👏🏻👏🏻
very entertaining…..horrible DIY vid…..thx for the laughs though
Do you have to the car in INVALID mode before the brakes bleeding?
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!
Awesome video. I'm guessing on the bill was a separate line item for Brake Fluid and this was probably around $45 🙂
Thanks for the GREAT video. what do you spray on the hub before you put the rotor on??
Great vid
Which prius this ? 2010 on word so dont need scan tool as like normal car bleed but this one eltric motor so just egnition on press padal slow nd bleed ones
Dont you computer bleed the hybrids?
Eric how many cans of brake kleen you go through in week time what do which one you prefer my friend and thank you do you need help Eric
what happen to standard push in pistons on calibers?
after watching his videos, im convinced that fluid film is the best on top of lithium grease lubricant
the slow motion hispanic us great
Great video, especially liked the music. I recently replaced my front brake pads and managed to get one pad inside out. It started off quite but the more I drove it the noisier it got. When I took it apart, it didn't take me long to figure out what I did wrong.
needs to but stock in brake clean could get rich
I laugh every single time you say "first try". I even know is coming when you get it wrong the first time and still laugh. You should put that on a tee shirts or a key chain some which way, I would buy it
Lol
So on this Prius you just turned the ignition on and the brake pump works automatically? Thank you
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 YouTube channels on here. Thank you SMA Richards"Mobile"Auto and Air
Seems a pity to leave rust behind, while you were in there? Call me 'anal' but I not only paint the backing plates, but I also do the centres of the disks!! (And any other patches where rust is starting to develop) Then again – its MY car that I'm working on…
I didn't know a Prius went fast enough to have brakes.
Now I know why you buy the advance brake cleaner over crc. Excellent video
Some of the best repair videos that I have ever found. Thanks. 👍
I never use my parking brake they fell off backing plate on my avenger gotta love salt belt 😂
You should have a hose when bleeding the brake, easer
You didn't disconnect the 12V battery? Or have to bleed the brakes?
