Chevy Silverado: Front Brake Job
Oh it has been such a long time I figured I better post a brake video before you folks start a riot haha. Lucky for you Josh took the day off and I was in charge of brakes and tires for the day. -Enjoy!

He did that so dramatically for that guy that whined about how expensive that stuff is. LOL
I worked at a dealership for eight years, and I never, NEVER saw anyone clean the caliper adapter bracket contact surfaces. I think we had one guy who regularly used the 3M cookies to clean up hubs and such. Didn't know there was anyone left in the repair business who cared about the quality of their work. Guess that's why I keep watching.

I never met anyone who loves brake clean as much as I do until I started watching SMA videos 😂 Brake Clean just adds that finishing touch like the salt bae does with his sprinkle of salt off the elbow .
You fix the cars and let Mrs O do the cooking! Best of both worlds!! She feeds you well!

Last brake job I remember, was Marie, when she did her own. She could be your brake specialist.
The moment we've been waiting for 5:08 yay😁
Old school brake job, complete with Brake Clean...can't beat that.
That kitchen is fantastic. Great way to make the family comfortable at work.

Ahhh, a SMA classic! Brake job, brakekleen sound effect (phone didn't ring though), and showing close-ups of FOOD. I wanted to reach into my monitor and swipe that burger! Mrs. O spoils you!
Wow that was heaven!! I put a new can of brake cleaner in my air freshener by the computer and man was that good!! Thank you thank you!! Jim.
Love how you have your family at the shop with you! Hope to be able to do that once I expand.
Wow, "Brake Clean Interlude". This years winner at the Caan French film Festival. Only SMA can make a car repair video sultry. I'm dying over here!
How does this channel not have a million plus subscribers yet? there isn't a better mechanic on KZread
Sometimes a nice brake job is just the break we need.
Thank you for inspiring me to try DIY stuff at home, you're an awesome human, husband, and father!
We love diagnostic video, but SMA brake job is a must!!! Maybe you could alternate : one diagnostic video - one nuts and bolt video! So everything for everybody. Thanks Eric for helping DIYers like me and my friends. 👍
I do like these brake job ones. The more the merrier. Love that BrakeKleen cam, too. That was great.
5:53 That's a new slo-mo Brakleen action shot! Wow! Super duper cleaning and dissolving action. Noice!
Ahhh, nostalgia. Lunch looked really good 😎
I've done a lot of brakes jobs. It's still great to watch a professional doing one. Oh! and I have two more rules to live by in auto repair. 1) Don't be a ding dong. and 2) Don't look at it sideways. Truer words were never spoken.
I’m a Toyota master tech so a brake job is simple but yet here I am watching most of the the brake job videos along with all the weird diag videos
This channel seems to be gaining about 1000 new subs every few days. Nice job, Eric
Eric: "Ya can't mess 'em up" J. Random Shadetree: "...Hold my beer." ~:)P
Yes! A bedtime brakejob story. Thanks. Love me some SMA.
Brake job, slo-mo- mood- muzak- brake cleaner effects, lunch with the fam (featuring state of the art venison slamburgers). Topped off with YT Doughnuts!! Be still, my pacemaker-driven heart!!!
Great video Eric. Nice to see the brake clean, Mrs. O, the new kitchen, and can't believe how big your kids are getting!🙂
Just love brake jobs! And you're so good at them ;-)
Never get tired of your Brake Jobs..... been missing the Brake Kleen, too.... Great video as usual.
I absolutely love your channel not only for the fabulous content but it reinforces my love of the south and it’s RUST FREE vehicles If someone there in the rust belt would build houses with heated driveways that had high pressure undercarriage spray nozzles built in to wash away the salt it would pay for itself quickly by making cars last longer
Love your videos and even color when you pop in with the family just to remind us your just as human as the rest of us hard working dads or otmoms or other lol great video
Omg the Italian music was a great touch . Lol. Love your videos
Always enjoy seeing the kids! They are growing up fast. Enjoy them everyday Eric they are gone before you know it.
Hey this is great! Yesterday fix a Idle control valve using "renches" and elbow grease, and now today, lunch with family and a GM Brake job. Way To Go Eric!!!. Why was your son watching Scotty Kilmer videos?

Thanks Eric...your video on parasitic drain on a Chevy truck was the answer I've looked for my GMC Sierra. Who knew an instrument cluster could be the culprit? Was going to use the company you used to restore the cluster but found a local shop who did it in 24 hours . No more dead battery...you are a genius. Thanks again...
I’m just one of those shade tree guys but I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. This is my favorite auto repair channel ! ( sorry Scotty ) Many thanks for all these fantastic video! Also love the fact you include your fantastic wife and family!!!
I wish my mechanic had the same passion as you when replacing rotors and brake pads. He just slaps everything on and charge me $275
One of the few things I miss from my time living in Buffalo New York is Wegmans
I love it. Miss the brake jobs. Since watching you, my drum brake experience is a lot better. I love the kitchen. That burger looked goooood!!! Mrs. O is awesome. Good kids. Electronics and soda! At least he was watching hot rod videos!!
Don't know what it means, but it's gotta be a good thing! I just love people that simplify stuff and not complicate!
Always amazing brake jobs and the brakleen cam, lovin it
Loving all the recent videos. It truly is a Happy New Year
Just over the top with sharing some family time keeping it real . I see a Discovery channel show in the Making .. Great Great. Great.
Good to see all the O's in the shop,, hot lunch served up, you are indeed a lucky man my friend!
Always a pleasure, Professor "O"!!!
Classic SMA with family in tow.
Might just be another brake job...but it's done in a way that only SMA can do. Keep them coming!!
Enjoyed the brake job. Great to see the kids at the shop. Your little girl favors her mom-- enjoy these kid years, they grow fast.
Oh you used a torque stick. The internet’s coming for ya now!
"Hit a few stop signs... Drive down the sidewalk" LOL
I learn another little trick every time I watch one of these. I always wondered why you put the pads in the bracket at the workbench instead of after bolting the bracket back on, and how you kept them from falling right the shmoo out of the bracket while doing so. Today I learned why, and also how - that stupid little toothy thing crimped into the hardware explains both. I also learned the trick of starting the upper caliper bolt with the caliper up & away. Great tips, thank you sir.
Fantastic as usual. I don’t care what the video is about. If there is a SMA video I’m watching.
Gotta jump on the grunt stuff now and then to stay limber. I cover for my field techs a few times a year for the same reasons.
Today's catch phrase is..."Lube Snob".....sort of like an automotive Grey Poupon. 😎 lol
The show that has everything: information, excitement, special effects, family fun, and gourmet cooking!
Beautiful Family Eric. Reminds me of spending time in the shop with My grandfather and dad. Awesome to see!

The best part of "another" brake job video is seeing you hang out with the family. Good that everybody can be there while you're working. Man, I confess to missing that brake cleaner music!
It's SO SWEET that Ms.O let's you know when you have fans visiting. And it's even cooler that you drop what you're doing and come say hi to your fans. Thanks for coming out to say hi to me that one time Eric!
Your interactions with the kids was priceless! LMAO!
Holy uploads! Also damn those kids growing up
Brake work is some of my favorite work, along with suspension work, I find it extremely satisfying.
O wow Eric O. Your treating us like royalty now with the special effects and love that music on the brake job, almost sounded like the theme song to a Moffia brake. Thanks, Brother for the good videos over the years I have been a fan and have watched all of them at least 6 times. Bada bing bada boom. :)
A brake job! Yay!
Spin of the wheel: Wheeeee!
Darn Eric that burger looked AWESOME!!!! Lucky man Eric being blessed with a good looking family
