What you're doing cleaning the caliper mount slide groves and the caliper mount bolt holes plus the lubrication to prevent rust as well as noise is the difference between changing the pads for 89. 95 and a true brake job. If you charge extra for cleaning old parts the cost of cheap pads versus quality pads with hardware will be offset. A 1 job. That is the way PROFESSIONAL mechanics do brakes!

Hi Pal: this comment is Off The Subject; however, I'm forwarding a discovery that occurred on my 2004 F-150 a few days past. Relating to battery parasites. I've have the problem & discovered by turning off the dash cluster lights that my parasite stopped bleeding the battery down in 3 days.
this event probably discloses that my cluster is in need of repair.

Eric you are more thorough with every brake job than 99% of mechanics, your customers are lucky to have you. I usually don't replace the hardware if the original hardware is still reusable. Even though they appear to be stainless steel, most hardware kits that are included with brake pad sets rust terribly within 2 yrs in salt states.

It's true. As many as you want to put on the tube I'll watch. Even after doing several of them during the day myself thanks for taking the time to film this. This is my break time before I start a rebuild on a 5r55 trans going in a mountaineer. Thank you mr O sir

Eric O I have to say you really love your attention to detail and that fact that your so miticulas about everything and that's why you are so good at what you do keep up the great work and P. S. I would watch you do a break job any day

It would seem that not buying pads with the hardware is a false savings. You are spending too much time cleaning the old stuff that its probably cheaper to spend the extra few dollars on the premium set.

I've come up with a new method to remove bolts that are stuck in your socket. Take the socket off with the bolt and slam 'em on the ground semi horizontal. Try it. quickest way I think.

Here in UK most garages will not fit customer supplied parts as they are usually secondhand or poor quality - when the parts prform poorly they blame the poor guy that fitted them.

Who needs to see both sides of a brake job? It's like show me how to mount the tires for the rear of the car and remember if I can do it then you can do it folks!
