This long video is a response to a group of questions posed by a new subscriber, Nobelheight. He had several questions that were all over the place and instead of trying to answer all of them separately I decided to make a little video so that all could see the answers I gave. The questions were everything from a fluctuating idle on Hondas, different color antifreeze, the shielding under cars and why it is there, and lastly one on using bolts instead of studs to fasten a wheel.
I wish I had some feedback from him on whether or not the video helped but I have yet to hear from him. I hope you can benefit from the answers casual viewer.

Drum Brakes
I'm going to combine 2 videos into this one. In this installment I go over the basics of drum brake operation. This video is like a baby version of the original video that was designed to cover the replacement of brake shoes on your average car. There are many different styles of drum brakes but for the most part they have a lot of similarities. I think what will happen is that I will combine this repair with a couple more vehicles for the finished video so that I can cover some of the issues that may arise while performing this repair. I want the end viewer to be able to watch my video and go out to their garage and replace their drum brakes with confidence, if I do that, I've done my job.
The second video "Drum Brakes, when to Discard" is a response to a question posed by my friend and video artist Readymade777 who wanted to know at what point did drums or rotors get replaced. I thought of just doing a text response but the car that I worked on needed new drums because the rivets from the shoes had scored the inside of them so badly they required replacement. When you get a gift like that I think you just have to go with it so I made the "Quick Tip" video to respond to the question.
EricTheCarGuy started at the end of January 2009 and has grown steadily ever since. It has allowed me to become the "teacher" that I thought I would become at the end of my automotive career. For some reason since I started this professionally I knew in the back of my mind that things would go this way, I just didn't think it would happen this soon. I'm glad your watching and I hope your getting something from what I've created.
