In a previous video https://youtu.be/4lgpmQxohV0 we looked over a customers Toyota Prius that had the ABS and Trac light on as well as a concern about the grinding in the brakes. The parts are in and it’s time to get it put together.
-Enjoy!

The way Mrs.O walked away was funny. What cha hiding behind ya? 😂
102.9 was a rock station in the metro Milwaukee area. It was called lazer103. For the last 20 some years it has been 102 9 the hog.
Actually, there is a radio station in Tennessee called "102.9 The Buzz".
I used those same directions with my wife. Worked great 😅😅
The way you did that brake line job on that Prius that's a hack job , especially how that bolt you broke off and normally on every one of your videos I see you correctly remove A broken bolt so not doing the job right that is just A hack job that you did on that brake line bracket Mr O you should be ashamed of yourself .
Spray it with your Water Displacement fluid then sand, no flying rust smoke
Didn't know you follow Rain Man Ray. Kool-two totally different enviroments!
20:46 some zip ties would probably help…
can you provide me the make of your air hammer thanks
Ever use a screen door scree
Thimg those gor 3@/3" tubing.
Because it makes people angry.
You goof ball.
Though there is no denying the wiggle ram fluff formula for future servicing.
I'm an auto tech myself and I know how easy it is, especially making videos. How caught up you can get And how Unprofessional you can become but The one thing about your videos I do like is you're very professional and you keep The jokes and language very clean for the young and old to enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work. May God bless you/ family and your business.
I always love watching your troubleshooting vids but there was something extra satisfying about this one.
Maybe because of the range of tasks…and certainly the range of tools (Including flaring tool and double thumb machine!) and chemicals used;-)
Not in any real order..but…Fluid film, WD-40, Brake clean, Pin and bracket lube etc.etc.
Wished I were there alongside, helping.
Well done Eric!
No hard braking for 100 miles?
55 in Prius? Must of had a tail wind.
Eric making little baby brackets 😆
The best 'thats what she said' moment evrr
People think it’s just brakes should be a two hour job but it’s more involved with modern cars than it ever was … nice work ! A real tradesman 👌👌subscribed
Bro why can't all mechanics be like you. I've got two break jobs for my prius in 3 years and they both went bad after a year because the mechanics don't take the time to do it right the first time like you.
I always thought "torque to spec" was just a saying 😂
Made baby food outta that rust
Very good eric very good he should be very happy with his brakes
Eric, you're like a father to me… Teaching me all kinds of important things about life. Lol
I use all data but service data very cost effective as well. I have three yearly subscriptions and they are like $60 a year each. If you do work on your vehicles it pays for itself with one job. For me it was brakes. Even $1000 a year for a pro is cost effective it will pay for itself in a few jobs.
3 weeks ago. My sister in law called me to work on her van. They were down in our area of the woods. She sent me money ahead and I got the parts needed for a complete tune up and brakes front only. Because the local shop in her area said. Pads are good.
She said she only needed the rotors only.
They pull up and i start the brake rotors only task.
I pull the pads. They are heat cracked and rust jacked bad. I tell her. Dont ever go to that local shop ever. Maybe another 100 miles and you would have lost your brakes.
Even the back pads we're the same.
Mr O because of you. "I can do it"
I followed everything you do.
I even found the rear brakes calipers pins rusted in place. It seems the last shop just slapped brakes and lube on the pins anywhere.
Thank you Mr. O
Ausome job
Have you ever noticed our man down in Florida when using bolts and NUTS he calls them bolts and fasteners ?
Great Job! careful work!
Thanks for the video but I have a issue in. 2010 Toyota Prius shows a code saying an strange object obstructing in the rear right speed sensor, there is no way to clean it because is sealed so o I have to replace the hub?
Do you have “actual factory†service data for all the makes you see? I mostly see you using Mitchell’s.
Finally figured out why I'm getting so many bruises…you keep knocking me around and running into me. Good thing I wear glasses…I'd be blind as well! Man, you're dangerous to be around!😆😆😆
That shiny wheel bearing is the nicest piece on the whole car.
Another great job by Eric! It is always a pleasure to watch you work. I like your method of troubleshooting and finding solutions to problems.
cupro nickle we call it cupo for short all the factors inc the NAPA'sknow what we are reffering too as its a pretty standard way of replacing hard lines been doing it for years now
This guy is amazing!
Very Thorough!
Iook forward to many more Prius videos!
Your wife is a smart gal, and funny. Walking backwards to the door so that nobody could look at her butt and make inappropriate comments on the internet. That's a gal who definitely understands how the internet works.
