This made me feel a little better about mine and my father's troubles whenever we change the brakepads on his car. It's always like the shims just refuse to let the pads in for an hour and then on the fifteenth try the pads just suddenly snick into place without any further fuss. We've tried videoing it to see what we do differently when it works, removing the whole shebang and doing the reassembly on the table. No answers, no change. I've come to the conclusion that the shims simply demand a sacrifice of time before they're mollified and let us succeed in the job.

Aftermarket shims are just slightly out of spec and if you take that into consideration you know they have to be adjusted a little to fit.

If you check and adjust the first time you save yourself a lot of time and frustration.

If pushing the brake pedal all the way down tears the seals on the master cylinder pistons, then you had a bigger problem to begin with.

I'm always amazed and how clean the cars are in Florida. Montana cars are crusty and most bolts and the pins are rusted and seized. They're not near as bad as the Northeast in South Main Auto territory though. Thanks for the video and have yourself a good day!

@arghoknot Жыл бұрын

I have found that if the outer pad wears faster than the inside pad, usually the caliper is binding or not floating back. Sticking pins or other hardware is usually the issue. If It's the other way around then it's usually a stuck piston. I did notice that when you put the inner pad on, the wear indicator on the inner pad should pull toward the pad as the rotor turns which is clockwise on the right side. That's the way I've always done to avoid it from being bent away and rendering it useless. Great video as always.👍

"They were not "pulling super hard and grinding", they just didnt let it go completly and were slightly pushing the disc, so you almost didnt feel that." What do you think happens when they just don't let go completely? Here's what most likely happened. When you last checked your brakes they were probably so low you mistook the metal part of the brake pad for the part that stops the car. If you don't do brake inspections on a regular basis, this is a very common mistake to make. For the pads to fail just 200-250km into your trip, there would have been absolutely nothing visible left of the stopping material.

@@AT-wl9yq Then why my rear brakes, which I think were blocked, were hot, while my front brakes were cool? When I said grinding, I meant metal to metal. Few thousands km prior to that me with my friend checked rear and front brakes, we completly uninstalled them, so I had braking pads in my hand, and they were okay. I dont think we both could have mistook how brake pad should look like, while holding it in our hands. Moreover, we compared front pads to rear pads, so we would have seen, if something was wrong. Front pads I still didnt changed since then, and they still look healthy.

@bobhudson6659 2 жыл бұрын

Each caliper piston is fully covered by a rubber boot. If there are no tears in the boot, then no dirt can make its way to the surface of the piston. Most pistons are also made of stainless steel so the outer highly machined/polished surfaces surfaces generally don't corrode. Lastly, when compressing the piston, you feel if the piston is sliding nicely and smoothly as you push it back into the caliper. Any roughness or snatching on the way back in, you stop and investigate the cause. No doubt Ray would have looked at each boot before he compressed the piston and also felt the smoothness of the retraction. Retired mechanic in Land Down Under.

He did take off one of the rear tires to check, and you can see disc brakes. He mentioned it while he was torqueing.

Shims are made of flexible metal and packed loosely with the brake pads. They then get bounced around a lot. Being bent out of perfect shape is not unusual; giving them credit for being in perfect shape after being stamped and formed at the plant. I always put a little never-seize on those screws that hold the rotor down so the threads will not rust and be hard to take out later. If you do not have one of those tools made specifically to compress the piston on the caliper you can also use a C-clamp. Not as easy but it works. You can put one of the old pads on the top of the piston to save effort or run it down to the bottom of the piston and push it back into the bottom of the cylinder.

@billaustin8674 2 жыл бұрын

Consider cleaning the brake bracket with a steel wire brush prior to reassembly. A small brush will clean the slots the brackets go into.
