If you don't know, you don't know. People really should be required to take basic mechanics to get a drivers license. My ultimate pet peeve are people with big ass RVs that may as well be a big rig that don't need any training. They're always a joy to be out on the road with.

[@deplorablelibertarian]

People with the ‘just rolled in’ vehicles rolling down the road, are why we need mandatory yearly vehicle inspections in all 50 states. I don’t personally agree with making it mandatory, but I understand the law knowing that everyone is a childish butthole who puts the general public at risk. My vehicles can pass an inspection at any time…I wish everyone held that same stance. Oh, it helps to not have a 20 year old car with 100k as your daily driver.

I’ve enjoyed watching your videos over the past six months. I’ve learned a lot about car maintenance and your continuous footage reveals more because of minimum editing. I have a 2007 Prius and normally just confident enough to change the oil and filter every 5000 miles/6 months over the past five years. With your videos and along with those from The Care Car Nut, I challenged myself to complete the major car maintenance scheduled for 190,000 miles instead of selling it because of the exorbitant labor charges. So far: Had a lot of warning lights come on and got an XTool D8 to diagnose. Replace spark plugs and coils Replace PCV valve Clean throttle body Replace transaxle fluid Replace engine accessory belt Replace inverter coolant pump Replace inverter coolant and bleed air Engine coolant flush, fluid replace and bleed air Oil and filter change, replace crush washers Replace front wheel bearings, rotors, brake pads, piston clean and lube Replace rear drums, shoes, struts Repaired 12v battery connectors Installed 12v cutoff switch Had major issues with braking, ABS actuator failure and VSC warning. Bought genuine Toyota ABS module and replaced it. Replaced fluid and completed brake bleed. Had Costco replace tires and align at local shop. Got another full size rim and had best leftover tire mounted as full size spare. Sand headlight lens assemblies and seal. Got TPMS code and saved $500 by replacing the tire pressure sensors myself. Register them with the XTool and reset. All codes cleared and it runs great. It’s getting 40 to 50 MPG and pleasantly surprised at that. I’ve saved at least $8000 in labor charges and it’s a great feeling having this confidence. Thank you!

[@earlribaudo4807]

I was a brake and front end mechanic in the late 60's, 70's and eighties. Drum brakes were the thing until the disc brakes came out. Of course the disc were only on the front to begin with. But watching you adjust the ebrake was the same as what I did. I would tighten the brakes till they were tight and then turn them back until they turned, just a slight drag. Once I test drove the car, the brakes seared in, high brake and solid pedal. Never had a problem. Can't count the number of cars I did. Thousands. Great video, enjoy watching, we have so much in common when doing this type of work, either brake or front end. I call it old school. lol

Loctite also stops the vibration. Make sure the caliper bracket does not fall off. I had my caliper fall off on my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue one time in 2002 in Imperial County, California. I lived in San Bernardino County, California during that time. Great videos.

[@hammer-fn7gm]

I like that you test drive the vehicles when necessary. When the HCU on my 2009 was replaced under recall they returned it to me with the brake pedal going almost to the floor. They added dot 4 fluid, but did not bleed the brakes. I called them and told them what they had done and were they apologetic, and said to bring it back and they would schedule an appointment to bleed the brakes. I told them that I needed the car and I would bleed the brakes myself and would not be bring the car back for any reason. Brakes are important.

[@wallingj68]

Yup, that should be a standard after working on a vehicle to check your work. I took my 05 Ford Focus to a Firestone place one time for an oil change (wife had a coupon), and she drove it home and it drove and sounded horrible. Turns out the idjits had disconnected the intake, I'm assuming when they checked the air filter, and never reattached it. I took it back without changing a thing, and they said that the would have to keep it overnight to have someone troubleshoot it. Didn't even bother to open the hood. That's one of the few times I was able to pull off a "gotcha!" type of move.

I was surprised to find that the dealer wouldn’t work on my 2005. I think that they stop at 10 years. I don’t think that they want my money. They don’t like poor people in the store.

[@OldManBadly]

What I enjoy the most is that you are running a business and feeding your family, but you have the reasonable morals not to overcharge your clients, even though you likely could charge more. More importantly, you aren't trying to screw them on every nickel and dime item that comes along. This car needed the work, it was about time, and while it might have passed inspection with just the wheel bearing, going all around on the brakes was probably a good idea. She just bought herself a couple of years of peace. I would also say that when you were tightening the axel near the end, I appreciate much that you realized that your torque wrench went off without any movement. I suspect a lot of people would just say "tight enough, I guess" and moved on. You took a moment, wound it back, and did it to the right spec. That is an attention to detail that most people seem to lack. Good job! Keep up the good work, and keep teasing the trolls, they need it to survive.

The only person I've ever heard say to open the bleeder and not to push the fluid back through the master cylinder. Is the same guy that grinds the ears of the brake pads to make them fit. Instead of cleaning the rust from behind the hardware. You are by far the best mechanic ever.

[@deathk26]

To play devil's advocate here, even with a clean caliper bracket sometimes you can get pads (even big brand name) where the ears are oversized or have too much paint. Ideally this wouldn't be the case, but you gotta do what you gotta do, especially in a pinch. I've never cracked open a bleeder to push a piston back though.

I am a retired mechanic but I do squeeze the brake hose (with a correct tool) and then open the bleed nipple. I attach an almost clear silicon hose and get the first part of the hose to go up from the bleed screw. Apart from no fluid going back into the system, what I am looking for are there any small air bubbles in the first part of the fluid that is released; also what is the colour of the fluid (you know the darker it is the older it is) and lastly are there any "goobies" (technical term for any loose corrosion from inside the caliper). Sure, if there are any bubbles then the pedal would have felt just a little a bit spongy. Any darker coloured fluid and then I know all the fluid needs to be changed. "Gooblies" will indicate there is rubbish inside the caliper but most likely the piston would also not have returned smoothly into the bore. Then time to do a caliper overhaul or replacement. That's my rationale anyway.

The good thing is you can check the other side if you forget where something went.

Missed the "Thanks for watching" bit..guess you WERE in a hurry to service the lovely Mrs O.

Every time Eric O says, "Nobody ever uses the parking brake." I have used it every single time I have ever parked any car I have driven. I learned to drive with manual transmissions, and in hilly country. My Father rode with me as I learned, and made absolutely sure that I put on the parking brake, to the extent that it became a habit that I have never unlearned. Those cars did not have a "park" position on the transmission. And with a manual it is entirely possible for them to slip from the clutch going slowly bad.
