In this video I bring you along as I work on a customers 2016 Buick LaCrosse that was having issues with their rear brakes. I swap out the rear calipers, pads and rotors. Oh and Mrs.O pays us a short visit too.
-Enjoy!

Another great video !
Hand raised
I came over from Rainman Rays and I love seeing the difference between mechanic and vehicle history whether its a northern rust car or not.
Hello from another Mrs. O of Washington State (the other Washington & just as messed up)!
Purchased a t-shirt for my hubby and am NOT disappointed. I am impressed by the quality of the t. The fabric is smooth and washes nicely, no shrinkage and the graphic didn't crack. It won't be found in the rag pile wiping down trucks….just sayin'…. Also enjoy watching your videos with my hubby….nice sense of humor, feels like home. Have a wonderful Monday.
Putting rear vented rotors on a Buick seems like overkill. Front brakes on most Buicks get barely used, so rear ones probably rust over before seeing any significant wear.
Have there been problems with the electric E-Brake?
I had the exact same problem on the same wheel on my ‘10 had to replace both rear caliper’s it suks all i could find were remanufatured ones
I appreciate the fact that you use a torque wrench, and that you are down to earth in your repairs. Your methodology is great regarding your troubleshooting processes. Thanks for the videos. I'm now a subscriber
That small air ratchet sounds like something you'd hear at the dentist.
Building AC guy says thanx. Kind of a funky brake-
your wife was trying not to laugh at the electric parking brake. how lazy are drivers now? did the emergency brake get replaced by the duel master cylinder?
I find the push button start to be awesome. I can leave the darn keys in my pocket and not have to fumble with them constantly. Regrettably only one vehicle I have used has had this and that was two work trucks ago.
I love the smell of brake clean in the morning.
I love it I’ve watched you for years you still make me laugh and love the videos
So about squeezing brake hoses. When doing calipers I use this opportunity to change out the old brake fluid and let it run out. Squeezing inner lined hydraulic hoses is a little dicey. I really enjoy all your difficult car repairs. Keep up the great vids.
hey Eric! love the channel. thank you
I was doing a job last week couple screws went missing after ten minutes of looking I found they were in my hand (almost) stuck on magnet of my light which I was using to find the lost screws!
Nice job there once again young man, never get tired of watching SMA videos.
Mrs O is wearing a really cute dress.
Eric if someone tells that, that never happens to them, I think they are lie to themselves. I know many times, I just had something and put it down and can not find was it where I thought I put it down. No but close thanks for the video. awesome as always
I've seen you use the ear plug trick before… saves you from crushing the hose (even if it's probably fine)
