How To Restore Headlights - EricTheCarGuy Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ Visit Quixx: http://www.quixx-usa.com/ Mighty Car Mods Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy_WF5Iei_I&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLD7B310EFF13BDC1C I've probably been asked about doing this video more than any with this Subaru and I'm happy to bring it to you now. I did make some mistakes when it came to using the buffer so try and learn from those by not using the terry cloth attachment and also making sure you don't stay in one place too long, otherwise stick to the directions and do stuff by hand, do it fast enough and it will be good cardio. You can find the Quixx kit that I used at Walmart, Pep Boys, and Autozone in addition to your local auto parts supplier. --- Click below and Stay Dirty Visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com http://ericthecarguy.com/ Visit EricTheCarGuy Forum http://www.ericthecarguy.com/forum/default.aspx Visit my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/EricTheCarGuy --- Stay dirty ETCG Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, it cannot guarantee against unauthorized modifications of this information, or improper use of this information.  EricTheCarGuy assumes no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in this video. EricTheCarGuy recommends safe practices when working with power tools, automotive lifts, lifting tools, jack stands, electrical equipment, blunt instruments, chemicals, lubricants, or any other tools or equipment seen or implied in this video.  Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result.  Any injury, damage or loss that may result from improper use of these tools, equipment, or the information contained in this video is the sole responsibility of the user and not EricTheCarGuy.

How To Diagnose and Replace a Bad Brake Caliper -EricTheCarGuy
Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ Brakes are a common DIY project but I often get asked about brake calipers and how to check if they're bad. This video not only shows how to find a bad brake caliper but also how to replace it. It is recommended that you do both sides when you find a faulty brake caliper but it's not necessary. If you're on a budget you can just do one but you might experience a pull to one side when braking if you do this. Otherwise you can follow the steps in this video for caliper replacement. I use my 1997 Subaru Legacy L in this video but the principals and techniques apply to many vehicles both domestic and imported.

How To Replace Drum Brake Shoes (Full) - EricTheCarGuy
How To Replace Drum Brake Shoes (Full) - EricTheCarGuy http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ Here is a full length version of a video that I posted some time ago, this way you can watch the entire thing in one sitting instead of switching from one video to the next. If your watching this for the first time I'm aware that sandals are not the best thing to wear when doing auto repair. In addition there IS a jack stand just out of frame in the video I just leave the floor jack in place while I work normally where it is so that it's quicker to let the car down when I'm done. --- Click below and Stay Dirty Visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com http://ericthecarguy.com/ Visit EricTheCarGuy Forum http://www.ericthecarguy.com/forum/default.aspx Visit my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/EricTheCarGuy --- Stay dirty ETCG Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, it cannot guarantee against unauthorized modifications of this information, or improper use of this information.  EricTheCarGuy assumes no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in this video. EricTheCarGuy recommends safe practices when working with power tools, automotive lifts, lifting tools, jack stands, electrical equipment, blunt instruments, chemicals, lubricants, or any other tools or equipment seen or implied in this video.  Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result.  Any injury, damage or loss that may result from improper use of these tools, equipment, or the information contained in this video is the sole responsibility of the user and not EricTheCarGuy.

When Should You Eat It?
Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ Discussion about this video: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/component/kunena/17-ETCG1-Video-Discussions/35946-When-should-you-eat-it?Itemid=0#35946 I'm sure if you've spend any time repairing vehicles professionally you've faced this question, 'when should you eat it?' Not every repair goes like the book says and in a way this is what separates the men from the boys in this business but ultimately I feel you need to take care of the customer. So what are your stories and experiences on this and how have you handled this situation in the past? I look forward to your responses. Stay dirty ETCG

This is not really a tutorial since this is the ONLY time I've ever done this! I learned from watching other people's YouTube videos, so maybe this will be helpful for someone else, but work on your brakes at your own risk. I didn't really want to do the job myself at first. I wanted to pay someone else to do it, but the 2 or 3 people I took it to could never fix the squeak, so I had to take matters into my own hands -- or go crazy! This video is a test of my Flip Cam, which is pretty good except for close-ups. I never added a voiceover or soundtrack to this video as I had intended. If I had waited until I had completed that, then I'd never get this video uploaded! So here you go! As good as it gets.

What is the Future for Technicians? -EricTheCarGuy
Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ Discussion about this video: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/component/kunena/17-ETCG1-Video-Discussions/36877-What-is-the-Future-of-Technicians?Itemid=0#36877 Labor Shift: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhXy1oHY_NA Flat Rate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa35NYGbmmk Should You Eat It?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9VRsPgUoQ4 Mechanic Fails: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeeq-MRxCzs So while working at the shop last week I got to thinking about what the future might hold for technicians and I found myself a little concerned. With a large investment in tools and school and a declining income potential how can we expect new people to enter the field of auto repair? It's an interesting question and I don't believe I have an answer at the moment so I put it to you viewers, what do you think we should do about this situation? We can just give up and stop what we're doing but perhaps we can come up with a plan for the future to help ensure quality auto repair well into the future. I look forward to your comments.

Removing Brake Rotor Screws That Won't Come Out - EricTheCarGuy
Removing Brake Rotor Screws That Won't Come Out - EricTheCarGuy I think the title covers this one. Honda's are famous for this so I made this little video to help you should you be in this situation. Wear your safety glasses when you do this or whenever you hit things, getting crap in your eye sucks, trust me. Impact drivers can be found at your local tool supplier. If you don't have a hammer I don't know what to tell you. This doesn't seem to require a long explanation so I'm going to stop typing now. --- Click below and Stay Dirty Visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com http://ericthecarguy.com/ Visit EricTheCarGuy Forum http://www.ericthecarguy.com/forum/default.aspx Visit my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/EricTheCarGuy --- Stay dirty ETCG Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, it cannot guarantee against unauthorized modifications of this information, or improper use of this information.  EricTheCarGuy assumes no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in this video. EricTheCarGuy recommends safe practices when working with power tools, automotive lifts, lifting tools, jack stands, electrical equipment, blunt instruments, chemicals, lubricants, or any other tools or equipment seen or implied in this video.  Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result.  Any injury, damage or loss that may result from improper use of these tools, equipment, or the information contained in this video is the sole responsibility of the user and not EricTheCarGuy.

How To Replace Your Brake Fluid - EricTheCarGuy
Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ As I said in the video I've been asked about this video for some time and I was happy to get the opportunity to make it. Now that I think about it however I did not address ABS systems in this video however the Subaru used does have ABS. I'll probably make that amendment in a future Re: video.
