    Do you do maintenance brake jobs, my brother in said ever 2nd spring when he changes his winter tires off he does a cleaning to the brake parts. Canada heavy on salt use too. That would be a good video on Honda vehicle.

    2 2022 Thanks 4 tips/reminders your presention pic's are clear to me. back 1970's my dreams were breake jobs, so it was nite & day work for me. Even product smells are re-played as I watch you. Being in my 80's the Dr.'s treat me as a old vehicle's needing artifical knees, hips, etc. Dr. uses some same tools you do.
    Watching you work makes me feel alive again. thanks!

    We should find the Florida version of SMA channel and have you two switch places just to see each reaction of each. You with no rust, and them with nothing but rust.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Mark Kemblowski says:

    It appears New York destroys cars just like everything else! Man, the cars there are just rusty like no other. I guess east coast in general.

    I would be careful mixing kroil, blaster, wd40 with other grease type products. It's nice and slippery at first then it turns as hard as concrete.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick L says:

    Cars in your neck of the woods need to come with on board sand blasters or fluid film sprayers. Yikes! Lol

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ไน‡ๅฐบใ‚บใฎ says:

    Kids got a good point. Is theyโ€™re all base rotted SHES on point. Unfortunately. Lol
    My job.

    Hey, I need brakes too. Lol

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars george tissot says:

    One of these days Eric, you are going to use Big Nasty to break lose stuck parts. The whole car will start to vibrate and shake, causing. a big cloud of rust dust and pieces to obscuring the car. When everything has cleared, there will just be a big pile of rust surrounded by four tires.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Taylormade2350 says:

    I traded a bike for a van from Chicago. I went to do the brakes on it and instantly sold that pos. Fuck all that rust bs.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Z Ack says:

    I dont see how everybody can work in a closed garage while using a full can of brake cleaner,.. for me if i smell it for longer than 5 mins i get a headache or i get all light headed where my vision goes all blurry,. Almost killed me once when i fuckin passed slick the fuck out from a mix of starter, brake clean, carb clean, gas and burning diesel fuel.. passed out under a rack wile it was being lowered and dude didnt see mre. Luckily ole boss saw me on the cameras and ran out.. was on my shoulder and broke my collar bone so was close,.,

    It just struck me that you are the Bob Ross of the mechanics world. Everyone is an artist when they have passion for their work and love their job.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike marshall says:

    Did any body notice the crusty distorted rear leaf springs. The new SMA rear brakes will outlast the springs.๐Ÿคช

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Posichronic says:

    Never thought I'd see someone use brake parts cleaner to clean brake parts. Does it work?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Louis Pushnik says:

    You may want to invest in a set of twist sockets with all that rust there!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Freddie Johnson Jr says:

    Why didn't you change the rear wheel cylinders? ๐Ÿ‘Ž

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RJB says:

    Always found rear shoes are the biggest PITA to change out, especially those damn springs.
    Love break videos because I'm not doing them.
    Always nice to see Mrs. O.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dean Sapp says:

    I always hated replacing brake shoes

    Not using the right tools where's McNasty

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew S says:

    Why would drum brakes ever be used alone? They are so complicated compared to disc brakes, and they work worse

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vince McKenzie says:

    If i ever get to the USA will be visiting SMA and Wes (watch WesWork)and Andrew Camarata.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars elwhastrummer says:

    Eric, you live in western NY…and hate rust?
    Bwahhahaha…that's funny…
    I drove a 1990 Chev S10 there from WA state, and sold it with a blown up motor for $800.00 . No one could believe it wasn't rusted completely out. Well, until they saw the license plate…

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Gomm says:

    Dude please keep the brake videos coming, keeps a smile on Mrs O, your family is what matters

    This was from only 3 years ago…Trinity was still being taught about analog time…now they stopped teaching it because "it's too hard" for the kids to learn it. smh

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mentology Health Awareness says:

    Polishing old turds. All I have to say is if it works, it works. Nothing wrong with polishing turds.

    I used to fight the adjusters, now I use an old lisle brake check caliper to preset the drum, saves a bunch of time dickin with it

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars darkwing4 says:

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars darkwing4 says:

    everytime you back up and step on the brakes to stop, the tensioner will come into play and turn the adjuster if there is enough slack,,, ๐Ÿ™‚
