Let me first start by saying this is a great video if you're in mechanic school and would like to learn how to do it with professional tools on a lift. with the exception of course that you can't see anything the guys doing it's just basically a wide shot of a rotor and this dude rambling the entire time
But for the everyday car repair moron like myself who needs YouTube to do a job like this yeah not the greatest video. I can't remember the last time I did a suspension job and was whistling and having such a great old time but I guess I would if I had a lift and air tools to basically do the job for me.
this guy just loves to hear himself talk

I wish all of us had access to known honest auto shops. It's frustrating just to get my oil changed. Seems all the shops around here have a problem with transparency, you know, being able to actually see the the mechanic break the seal on the 10 quarts of synthetic oil and pour them into my car engine etc etc.
Eric, it's amazing to watch you at work, professional, ethical, hard working, going well beyond most shop mechanics to ensure the work is done right.
Raise your prices, I'd still be a loyal customer knowing the work you do on my car would be God like.
Thanks for sharing.

Wagner ThermoQuiet. WIsh this video was posted before I bought some for my beater van in summer 2018. They do freaking squeal mad. Summer 2018 I replaced all rotors and brake pads, as well as did proper rust cleaning, lubricating, etc the SMA way, and the squealing started not too long after. For a beater car, I don't really care too much about the squealing (radio volume up. But I definitely learned my lesson and used different brand brake pads for wife's car this spring.

2: 47 Vertical? That relates to the surface of the earth, meaning straight up. I think you intend perpendicular to the axis of that gizmo bit you were holding, or put another way, in line with the radius of the rotor at that position -- heading straight in to the centre of the rotor. Certainly NOT vertical. OK? I normally click the like button, but for these orientation errors, sorry, I did not this time. Bad Boy, Eric. Go to the corner and wear the Dunce's Cap.

Hey if you can't handle the heat you know what to do right. So lets start or should I say stop feeding them at Patreon. Did you ever think some people are getting screwed by dishonest shops. I will be the 1st one to say Eric does a very honest video. Some times it would be nice to help some one and it doesn't have to be about the green back. Hell to date you have made 6 figures

Nice review. Not sure how you reformed those pads. they had some raised grooves thats for sure. Can't believe pad makers who have some 5+ versions of OEM comparable pads. I's rather confusing to just about anyone since they never fully describe the difference between them. Seems like ceramic is the way to go and ignore the rest.

I did my first brake job on my F250 this weekend and I couldnt have done it without these videos. I changed calipers, pads, and rotors. Only took about 4 hours, most of which was fumbling around the smaller details of the job. Thank you for the great info Eric, Im glad to support you on patreon.

We did a bunch of these toe links back when they were dealer only parts, glad to see that mevotech started making them. they suck to adjust. Finally someone else who knows about the thermoquiet squeal! All the parts salesman get confused when I tell them why we don't buy and install thermoquiets.

I have seen one wheel alignment in your videos. To you they are so boring. To me I really wonder how they are done. I know only that you must adjust the camber, the caster, and the toe. To me this would be just as interesting as this video. I would love to see what nuts you loosen, and so on.

I have to admit, I was always taught to lightly sand the old pad faces against a flat plate before reinstalling to knock down the high ridges that had been running in grooves in the old rotor. Yea you don't have to, but it seemed to make the pad wear more even.
