We don't mind a bit of swearing, if you work on cars or motorcycles its par for the course, even losing your shit and throwing the bit that's pissing you off.
I've seen a few videos already on changing the front brakes on this Nissan or anyway any kind of car. And. You do a good job talking through it. It's not hard to understand when you're telling people. So thanks for that. A lot of people just stand there and change the brakes and expect you just to watch the video and know what's happening and they play music and no one's talking. It's like it's weird. It's like an MSR, let's change your brake pad video.
What kind of person gets? Upset when he puts stuff on sale and people buy it. And you only buy it when it's on sale. So whose fault is that? That's not yours. You're trying to get a deal. He's giving the deal, you're taking it. So what is his problem?
Great video
I swear Eric O vids are the best ! Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
This is a down to earth guy and he seems to know what he is doing i give this video a 2 thumbs up . ✌ï¸
What year maxima is this?
I just started to learn how to work on my own vehicle since repair shop prices can kill. Your videos are awesome for learning how. Thank you and keep doing what your doing.
What generation maxima is this? South Main Auto LLC only please.
I like the commenting part. It is entertaining to listen.
Hey man thanks for the vid I consider myself a diy mechanic and you saved me some money. love the commentary you earned another subscriber. Have a good one and keep up the awesome work. 🤙ðŸ¼
Try one of the Chrysler caravan cable jobs. See how much swearing you do then
Excellent video, thanks.
Here's a good comment and suggestion without swearing, cheers from Northern B.C. Canada
good stuff bro thanks for the content I needed a quick see on the job for my own brake change pretty simple standard change except for those little clips.
I don't know if you will see this comment/question after 1 year but do you have to a brake line bleed? and were there any torque values for the bolts for the calipers?
Thanks Eric! Doing brakes on Infiniti Q45 this morning and needed a refresher course.
Professional ✌ðŸ»
What’s name of the of that tune you use in the back round when you go for a toot
Thanks for the great videos Eric. I'm a DIY'er…..Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with a 2011 Buick Enclave with Brake Chatter? Looking at these brakes they don't look any different than any other GM Brake Setup I've ever worked on.
Good job. Appreciate your honesty!! Hard to find these days!
You do amazing work
You look great without a hat/cap.
Hi Eric, I came across your videos several of months ago and been watching ever since. I Personally Love watching and learning about all of the fixes you do, it almost makes me want to become a Mechanic. I wish your shop was closer to my location cause I would most definitely bring my cars to you for service. Good with your successful business and keep up the great work and I'll continue to support your channel.
Hum, old guys & "Fuddies duddues" ?? Anyway on Nissan's the MIC half shafts come with nice new MIC nuts!, Do NOT use that nut. The made in Chinese axle nuts tend to loosen after time. Not good without a castle nut! Young whipper snapper!
castle thrust, and the shop solvent is the best I've ever used.
i know your piston compressor is elegant and easy to use. For years now I have simply taken one of the old shoes, reversed it against the piston, and compressed it with an oversize 'C' clamp. Naturally, I take the top off the master cylinder reservoir first and verify I have enough room so that the brake fluid won't squirt out. As far as the caliper hanging hooks, I get better results with an orange one than with a green one. As a pro, I would have expected you to know that by now…
Hey what if my brakes go down to the ground after still ??
That's the filthiest damn Maxima ever.
People don't understand that petroleum based grease's wash off in rain etc.
Only use silicon based brake grease to remain on.
And they try using silglyde on the back of the pads.
That's grabs sand & dirt etc.
Use the correct drying antisqueal coating.
Watch some other channels, they waste cases of brake kleen per video.
I went town one day and a lady told me you wear two hats? It was cold and I had a beanie on and put my hat on top of it for later and forgot it was there LOL!
I've never called Tech Support, always sound foreign!
