This is the Subaru that we replaced the rear wheel bearings on in this video https://youtu.be/dVMssN-nDiY and it is also the one we looked at for an intermittent speed sensor issue in this video https://youtu.be/Zap6iQlMFUs. Well now it is back and the lady wants the front brakes fixed and we need to revisit the speed sensor issue because she is still having problems with it! I think we’ll get it handled this time around though.
-Enjoy!

Man those are some wild architectural homes.
I had a bad sensor under braking cause the steering wheel to pretty munch self steer during braking. That was on a chevy 3500 van.
I'd say fire her, but not with that nice dress. My wife needs one of those.
Nice to see the always charming & attractive Mrs. O make an appearance. She definitely adds a touch of class…. I mean your channel is GREAT based on the tech content & your down to earth & very friendly delivery. It's absolutely among one of the BEST of its type on Youtube. It's just nice to have a lady show up in the videos from time to time. I'm really surprised other "gearhead" channels don't do that. I know it's not planned & Mrs. O. just shows up….
How about we get rid of this vehicle?
I mean I have owned beaters for specific reasons like teenagers and new drivers you knew were going to crash and total.
With all this rust, sometimes I feel like I’m watching a dentist drilling some teeth. Great content keep it up.
When I was in college I worked at a SOHIO station (Standard oil of Ohio) . We were nicer, NAPA ment not all parts available
I end up doing more tryagnostics than I like to admit simply because it will cost 3x as much to prove/find the problem definitively In fact I have a fuel tank psi sensor on order right now I will check the connector, pin fitment, and gasket as I install it My cost was $20 the labor to drop the tank and test is $200. I offer the consumer the option and explain the labor is the same either way; the most likely culprit is pin fitment/corrosion OR a bad sensor would you like me to install one while I am there or not??
Another great SMA production by Eric O! Never get tired of seeing all the rust problems you have in NY! We down here in Florida are quite the opposite.
Eric O gets the good comebacks. A come back for more business at South Main. I haven’t seen many super rusty caliper pistons in my time. They must be designing parts cheaper now days
what’s the attachment on the air hammer he uses for the rotors? or is it just a regular bit
I'm in the UK and we salt our roads in the winter but I have never seen rust like you have on cars you work on. Even 50 year old cars don't seem as rusty. What exactly do they put down on the roads there that makes cars rust so much?
Is this what makes the pedal spongie, frozen calioers?
Just heard a dad golf joke today. I hit a double eagle on a par 3.
Nice ball cap!
Very envious of all your bolts on this job Eric – been doing my Ford Transit 350 erm…. dumptruck to you and every one of them was either seized solid or done up to fabulous footpounds so it made no difference. I could also give about thirty years – if you'd have them, getting down fairly easy but need a hoist to get back up!
Can you not get calliper repair kit in the U.S.A. like we can over the pond?

It amazes me how much customers like these Subaru's regardless of how many repairs they require. And rust—my shop is in Md but get them north of here, whew—-God help you. For vehicles that are marketed toward the North and harsh environments—-.
Awesome. Those Scooby things have bio degradable fames and bodies man! They rust out here in West of Scotland!
Excellent job as usual
Dear Eric – please wear Hearing Protection!! You are going to regret not doing so – later years from now. Even a small drill requires hearing protection. Impact wrenches… come on. Protect your ears. I have hearing damage – and have always worn hearing protection. Sometimes foam ones; with ear muffs over that… What would my poor ears be like – if I hadn't?? I use hearing aids now – at only 68 years.
We got our Subaru Outback 5 years ago and it's time for a brake job. Living in Michigan ,the brake pads were froze up and worn down to the REPLACE line. I know the next brake job will need replacement calipers, thats a given.
What do you get when you cross and elephant and rhinoceros?
