    Paunch, you are the best or I meant Eric or Erik.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars nothanksgoogleplus says:

    If you live in basically a no rust state(arizona), is there any reason to not get the cheapest non coated brand name rotors or should you still get coated for some reason?

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tuco Benedicto says:

    Plenty of brake jobs on you tube none show what to put where. Love to have a link of that nylon brush. I knew not to use a wire brush. Love to do that next time. I think permatex exacerbated my rubber ring. I put a new one on.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R.S.W says:

    I don't mind seeing lots of brake jobs. Each is a little bit different and I always learn something new. Gives me the confidence to keep doing it myself. Great videos!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marc Jarvis says:

    After watching so many of your videos and learning so much, Iโ€™m so chuffed to see that we do brakes in the same way- even down to having the same tool to clean out the slide pin holes! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Nguyen says:

    It should be he slips right in.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Renn says:

    Won't the heat generated at the brakes melt the silicone? I thought 'brake parts lubricant' was recommended because regular grease will melt?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Hill says:

    i have to do my 2017 brakes on camry sometime what size is the scrubbing brush for caliper pins is it just a regular brush or one specific for brake pins?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Automotivated says:

    Eric… you always ask how can we still enjoy brake jobs. Well every time you put one out you might give ONE more hint or we might
    Understand something differently This time. And if you change your process a tad we learn a new style or chemical. That goes for any video you do. It might be that one technique that we were missing on our own process. As the saying goes, โ€œIf you donโ€™t learn something new everyday your not living life to the fullest.โ€

    Doesn't brake cleaner damage rubber boots????

    I guess the days of buying an inspection sticker with a case of Budweiser are goneโ€ฆ.Damn!

    I wouldn't mind joining Josh on his journey of learning how to talk to the camera once in awhile. ๐Ÿ™‚

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Avraham Tuvy says:

    What is the name of the tool that you used to clean the studs, I cannot find it anywhere

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Albert Tibbets says:

    Good video. Good camera work and I like that torch and water spray trick. Thanks

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Moran says:

    I like how thorough you are with the cleaning and lubrication. It definitely will affect what I do the next time brakes are needed around here.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fubar totale says:

    Perhaps off topic, but I'm a toolmaker and once we got a job for fairly large 10" dia. wear parts for a CV joint assrmbly machine.
    Well, we machined them, heat treated them and precision I.D. and O.D. ground them and sent them out to the customer.
    Well apparently the previous vendor just machined them to finish size sent them to the customer who then sent them out for heat treat, distortion be damned.
    Well, when our completely heat treated and precision ground FINISHED parts landed on their dock, the clerk promptly sent them out for HEAT TREAT!
    Sadly the heat treat outfit was also a bunch of ninnyhammers and they threw them into the furnace.
    So, if your wondering why your American made car is a piece of crap, its because everybody (almost) sucks at their job and they just don't care.

    I was named after Patrick swayze roadhouse (the names Dalton)

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Steele says:

    You are so right about hack work at the customer's request. I looked at a van that was hacked, a year after it was hacked, thought the shop ripped the guy off, and told him to take it back to the shop that fixed it. Fortunately the shop kept notes on their computer, and reminded the guy that he hacked it for him as a favor.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin says:

    At least your dad didn't name you Erik's character name, Francis Llewellyn "Ponce" Poncherello…

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill S says:

    Still used the purple on the piston near the rubber. confused more than ever!

    You break a hole in the rubber, bad things happen. . . Like me! 10 & 11 years respectively betwixt me and the other spawn of my parents. They weren't ready for me but when it came down to it I was the one who spent years taking care of them when they needed someone not either of my sisters, oh no.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr D says:

    I would like to see an overview video on your sand blaster and parts washer for Noobs, in case we want to setup our own.

    WOW! those Neon Green gloves! let me turn down the brightness on my monitor…..

    Or for real mechanics who have been walking the same path Dr.O

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars brian farrell says:

    What is the purple lubricant used on the brake hardware and the piston?

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars relaxin maxin says:

    Why can't my mechanic be like you sir?

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars a&s construction says:

    You forgot special sound for brake clean

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jorge Lopez says:

    Hello Eric O. I noticed that you applied lube on underside of the new brake clips but not on top of the brake clips where they meet the pads. Any particular reason why not to lube that area as well? I assume that's where the lube should go as well. I really enjoy your videos. Great Job!!!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rolando Reyes says:

    Shops shouldn't do inspections period.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam Collins says:

    Do you have a link to the nylon drill attachment? Seems a great idea ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PhillLsx Ga. says:

    As people know, a lot of shop's won't put on customer supply parts so they can rape the customer..

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars blazeandcyrus says:

    Just went through this over the weekend, but even hot wrench wouldn't free it up. guys at oreilly, not a sponsor, had a bracket in stock so all was good.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars High Wake Mafia says:

    when didnt he just use a 12m bolt like ur suppose to instead of beatin the rotor off

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars L H says:

    Isnโ€™t the lube supposed to be on the new hardware too for the new pads to slide with the caliper side to side??

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jlozano180 says:

    Why is loctite needed?

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Colin Bluett says:

    Never seen a stuck pin before! Heard about them of course. I normally replace all the rubber boots and redress the rotors (unless they are heavily scored). Rubber is not enduring and tends to brake down over time. Different conditions Down Under I guess. Learnt something again.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tomas Holmstrรถm says:

    Hello Eric use too work with cars. Use cupper not. Greese on brake parts.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian OHara says:

    If he wants to buy his own parts he can put them on as far as I am concerned !!!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan Hietpas says:

    Could I use a wire wheel to clean up the hub?

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rory Weber says:

    The ole blue tip wrench

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SC Flooring says:

    You are absolutely right on doing things the right way and not rigging things up!! Because it will come back to bite you customers always forget that they told you to do it and any time there is a problem they are calling you to fix it! I go through the same things when installing flooring a lot of people donโ€™t want to do it right because of the cost so I tell them well I canโ€™t help them but maybe someone else can do it for beer money and good luck!! Typically anytime someone complains about the price your better off walking away!!
