Long videos are entertaining

[@darrenglaser4742]

Please don’t stop making these “hour” long videos. They are nice to watch and very informative! Keep up the good work!

[@deliawood1]

You are getting famous, I was sitting on a train in Sydney Australia watching this video when a voice behind me said that sounds like Ray and it was another one of your fans.

[@user-jz1ht8ry2w]

I love it, "Nature's Locktight" cross threading.

[@dangingerich2559]

15:18 Now, THIS is why I like Ray so much. He sees many of the issues that will cause future problems and actually fixes them, taking the proper time and effort to do so. So very few people do this, and my job is often complicated because of those moments when someone else has NOT done this, so I very much appreciate people who do things properly.

[@cofdeath9765]

Talking about preventative stuff; he should probably fix the axle nut on that side that isn't notched correctly.

[@TEDodd]

@@cofdeath9765 looks like the nut was tightened further after it was staked. Probably removed and reused but not re-staked. Toss up to me. If he touches it, it's his problem but might make it safer (though with the used nut, maybe not). If he doesn't touch it, it's on who ever did last touch it.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Wny not actually remove the remainder of the screw the right way....with a drill and extractor. Besides... Another rotor that uses retaining screws, will sit EXACTLY the same way over the broken screw. smh

[@TEDodd]

​@@HouseCallAutoRepair because the screws are not needed. They are assembly aids for the production line. They weren't used for many years, and then for a while a one time use locking rings was used on one lug. The wheel/lug nuts clamp the rotor to the hub. Even with the wheel off the caliper and pads hold it on place. The caliper bracket keeps the rotor on when the caliper and pads are removed. So it only helps you install the caliper and pads. You can just run a lug nut down to do the same if you need it (I've never needed to do that though). I never use them on my vehicles. So after some future removal of the rotor they may well not be used again. I assume YT mechanics put them back because of stupid comments. The same type of commenters that complain about soldering and welding. I even think I saw the "one time use" lock ring reused by someone (after being carefully removed instead of just cut off).

[@paulocarvalho6480]

I like the longer videos because I like to learn and try fixing my stuff. I know that if feeling uncomfortable doing something, it's better to leave it for professionals. But even if you don't realise it, the way you work teach us more than you can imagine. Always nice when lovely Lauren comes in with a cup of hot coffee. Have yourself a great day Ray, Lauren and Dave.

[@jessecain1646]

Pretty impressive Ray turned yours and wife units shop in to a high out put shop in a year . Your kicking butt

[@patrickdiehl6813]

Lol, Customer present in shop, brake cleaner can drop 🤣 I'd watch 3 hour Ray Videos, it's refreshing listening to someone who exercises boatloads of common sense.

[@brucemars6191]

Whew, I was thinking Ray forgot to lube slide pins on the right side, and then you caught it yourself. LOL

[@ChristopherEisele]

As for the video length, quite the opposite. It's why I subscribed. I now do all my own maintenance. I'm a datacom engineer, not afraid of tools, but not a mechanic. Do my own diags and even caught a shop trying to screw me with the "u need a new trans". Only needed a pan drop and filter. Still works great 2 years later. Never would have aught that w/o your teachings. Thanks Ray, u saved me $6K

[@KaycieCarryl22654]

Hour long videos? I am amazed at how short these feel. Well, not amazed. Things flow, and before I know it, the video is done! I really like this channel very much.

[@Mikelp73]

I don’t know why but Rays channel is one they just gets better.

The Smokey and the Bandit theme was a subtle and nice touch. Do enjoy the longer videos though.

Glad to see your business took off, I remember when you first moved, you were a little worried, but quality work finds a quality guy. Keep up the good work and the videos!

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Great to have you back , I was suffering withdrawal yesterday 😂😂😂

[@RR-vz2ld]

As a retired 40 years diesel mechanic, I like that your videos show it's never as simple as changing a part. That things are rusted, dirty, greasy, broken, seized, stripped, missing, gaulded, and many times impossible to get to unless you disassemble several other components just to get to the problem.

[@clintprice2123]

The hour to hour plus videos are just perfect. Those not enjoying it can fast forward if they wish.

[@aj383]

I LOVE that you were hoping this would be a short video... 54 minutes later, I've thoroughly enjoyed this brake fix. I start my days listening to Ray, so i feel like the longer, the better.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

If he didn't FIX the reason it took so much effort to push back the driver's side pistons, it will be back! (Soon!)

[@kdogg82]

Sedona's go through brakes like crazy. They should have a recall on them. U only get 30k out a brake job

I use your videos to show my grade 11/12 auto classes whenever I'm sick and away from work. They confirm everything I've taught them.

[@adampyro834]

ive seen pads wear down to metal and start to destroy the disc, one time the customer asked me (as a trainee) if i thought the disc should be changed. of course i said yes, its a safety issue. he wanted to cut down on his cost. my manager heard and had a bit of a go at him, saying he had already told him the discs couldnt be saved and that he wouldnt have us touch the car unless we did it properly. he was a great manager, didnt take crap off anyone but was also a nice guy. think he gave him a discount on the labour, to make it easier for him in the end

[@realcygnus]

$31 for that 1 bolt for a Buick from the dealer, NO joke ! & that was like 20yrs ago mind you. I'm not in the business or anything but & It was thE ONLY place to get it. I called every chain & supply place I could find within a reasonable driving distance. Obviously It's something that you'll never forget, considering its like(should be) a 50c part. I imagine the last guy just forgot to tighten it BC it just went missing. I might have even tried a half-assed DIY hardening process on a 99c off the shelf thread match, had I NOT been stranded rather far from home.

I have my morning coffee with Ray. Even the mundane procedures contain pearls of information (such as making your own wiper fluid) along with keenly "common sensical" philosophical rambles. I could really relate to meeting people years later who did OK (even outstandingly well) in high school and then ended up making a train wreck out of their lives. So sad and, yes, embarrassing at a one on one meeting. But one of the questions that nags me is: why don't you keep a set of metric sockets on your roll cart? Would save time, editing breaks, and trips to the bench.

[@senffabrik4903]

I like precise numbers written down. Becaue of precision reasons.

[@classicalextremism]

I will add to "long is fine". The reason a simple job like this turns into a long video is because something went somewhat sideways. Its a simple thing here and there, but something mechanics face on the regular and any DIY will inevitably run into when we try our hand at it. Nothing ever goes to plan, and seeing how to work around the upsets without getting upset is a godsend.

[@pokefan5022]

Funny story about pumping brakes. Younger me at a Chevy dealership about 20 years old did a 4 wheel brake replacement. After replacement I was pulling the vehicle slightly forward so I could get the lift arms out (short wheelbase) I forgot the pump the brakes first and pulled that vehicle straight into the workbench in front of me. Not a good day but luckily I was only a recon tech working on used vehicles for the dealer and it wasn't a customer vehicle. Thank God. Manager at the time said "I'll pay for college once" and toon care of it. Needless to say I always pump the brakes on everything nowadays.

And don't put the stupid screws back in the rotors. My old cars didn't have them at all. Then later the OEMs went to a single use retainer on one lug to hold the rotor in place on the assembly line. I can't fathom why Kia put 2 useless screws on each rotor.
