When I worked in General Aviation (small planes) I had a Work Order for a "pitot-static test" (testing the plumbing for the altitude and airspeed indicators) on an old Bonanza. The first thing I noticed was the housing for the pitot tube (airspeed) was crushed, and sure enough, it leaked badly. The local Fixed Base Operator parts room had nothing for it, but their chief mechanic, Tony, came by. I talked with him about it, and he knew the customer. The guy planned to fly home that afternoon, but the plane was unsafe to fly as it was. Tony suggested we wrap it with red vinyl tape, test it, and log the temporary repair. Tony also opined the guy would probably want us to put chewing gum on the housing. Just about then the customer walked up so Tony explained what the problem was. The customer asked, "Can't you put chewing gum on it?" No kidding - he did! Tony explained our plan, and it was done. The next time I saw the plane, a few months later, the red tape had been painted silver. [Sigh] Moral of the story: if they want it jury rigged today, they will try to keep it jury rigged forever.

Honestly, how many mechanics would go through the trouble of cleaning calipers that well? That is a very simple and straightforward job but you did amazingly well, yet again. It's a pleasure to watch you work Eric. I see some people already gave that video a thumbs down. Like, seriously ? Who can give SMA videos a thumbs down? This, in my opinion, is by far the best automotive Channel on KZfaq.

You are so right about hack work at the customer's request. I looked at a van that was hacked, a year after it was hacked, thought the shop ripped the guy off, and told him to take it back to the shop that fixed it. Fortunately the shop kept notes on their computer, and reminded the guy that he hacked it for him as a favor.

Not all of you, but, in my mind, an unacceptable number will. But, hey, if telling the government to "back the off" is more important to some of you than their (or your) next of kin, who am I to comment? Just remember this lockdown/social distancing thing only slows the spread of the virus, it doesn't eliminate it. My dad and I somehow got infected about 3 weeks into the lockdown here (Belgium, started March 13th). My dad (89) didn't make it. He went from being a little under the weather, spending most of the day in bed, and me saying: "Oh, hey! -you're up, do you want me to make you a snack?", with him replying: "Nah, I'm not hungry. Thanks for making some fresh coffee, though.", to the ICU doctors saying: "the treatment is not taking hold, his organs are failing, we're suggesting to just keep him sedated and letting him go." in under 24 hours. Covid-19 is a very nasty bug, because it spreads easily and is quite relaxed about making its presence known. Even when my dad rapidly deteriorated to where I decided "ok, we need an ambulance here.", I didn't expect Corona virus to be the cause of his ailments. Having been, obviously, also infected (as I was the only one to venture outside during the lockdown, taking every recommended precaution), I suffered no other symptoms than those of a run of the mill cold, with a slight fever for a couple of days. I'm currently unemployed, but, before having this situation thrust upon me, I would never have considered not going to work being only "that" slightly ill. Fortunately, our government imposed measures seem to have worked "the other way 'round". None of the people I, at a distance, interacted with during the period I was unaware I'd been infected, have fallen ill. I take a lot of comfort from that.

appreciate the instruction on the rubber pin boots, didn't know how to replace them before this excellent and timely video. Keep up the good work.

After watching so many of your videos and learning so much, I’m so chuffed to see that we do brakes in the same way- even down to having the same tool to clean out the slide pin holes! 👌🏼👍🏻

I have watched a lot of your videos. I enjoy them all. One of the reasons, I never see you doing something inappropriate to repair a vehicle. A work around that saves time without compromising the repair is smart not shoddy. You take pride in what you do. That isn't ego. You are a good man. Wish you were in Florida in my area! God bless to you and your family. Give your better half an extra hug and kiss from all of us!

I don't mind seeing lots of brake jobs. Each is a little bit different and I always learn something new. Gives me the confidence to keep doing it myself. Great videos!
