lol that soundddddd

Holy cow

His rotor is so grooved and messed up that I don't think a square block matters anymore

Michael Pistilli Now this is true. For as many times as I wanted to delete this video due to not having the appropriate sandpaper in the first place, I have always tried to go back-and-forth with the sandpaper at like a 45° or what have you to get a nice crosshatch finish

ha ha

Brakes*

Face down on the driveway and a couple figure 8’s. Good as new

T_money_ THIRD It does get rid of the squeak. Also some more brake paint underneath the brake plates helps. I never mentioned it but, I also take a little sand paper to the material that is on the pads. If you were to use a wooden block you wouldn’t be able to scuff up the deeper parts of the brake rotor and that is why I do it by hand.

James Carroll oh lol I was gonna hold the sand paper up against it until most of the grooves came out. But then again it would never be perfect considering hands would get tired.

T_money_ THIRD - KISS. ;-) Get an angle grinder or drill with a flap disk (80 grit is more than enough). 5 minutes and it will be like new. Remove the brake pads and make a couple of passes with sand paper on a flat surface. Make sure to have all the sliding surfaces also well cleaned of all debri and rust. Apply a tiny bit of the appropriate lubricant recommended for your brake system and enjoy better brake performance. DO NOT OVERDUE. ;-)

crpth1 That’s exactly what we used to do when I specialize in the Volvos

I just did my Subaru Outback. I should have said in the video that after using such a course sandpaper to maybe drop it down to a fine piece to get rid of all the rough edges but honestly I would rather deglaze my rotors then to turn them if I don't have to

No you don't

Neon diamonds Aquaberry Sir, I’m not “Turning the Rotors!” I’m deglazing them. Huge difference

James Carroll so you’re deglazing them to smooth out braking or quiet down noise ? It will all come back quickly if you still use the same old pads

Take the brake pads off and sand down the brake pad material a bit. Gets rid of old groves in padding and will have a nice clean surface.

You don't understand what this guy is doing. He is " Deglazing " the rotors " . Not turning them to remove any grooves. These rotors are still Flat at this point. Only removing the GLAZE. This usually stops the squeal sound from Glazed rotors

You gotta say on the brake pad 2

The Honda Odyssey does not have a locking differential. Let’s take the screwdriver out of the equation, both wheels are spinning in the air, I could walk to either the left or to the right rotor and stop it with my hand and the other wheel would keep spinning. I could let go and then that wheel would start spinning the same speed as the other then walk over to the other side and stop it. The screwdrivers manipulating the system so that I can apply pressure to the wheel that spinning with the sandpaper. Note that is the wrong sandpaper and I do need to make another video with a different car. My Subaru all-wheel-drive would be a great video but may be a little too technical. Noted from an earlier comment mentioned that I did not see anything about opening the brake calipers so that the brake pads are not rubbing up against the rotor while deglazing the rotor. But that also was done with the flat head screwdriver in between the caliper and the rotor just pray back on it a little bit and open the caliper so that the pads are not rubbing against the rotors. Please be careful while doing this

@@james66872 After reading your comment I did some research on the different differential and I get it now. Finding out what type of differential I have is the key. I also better understand the part where you mentioned the opening of the brake calipers as well. This video helped a lot and is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If your rotors are shiny like these are, then yes. If not to shiny, could be dust, aftermarket brake pads, or you could even put a little brake paste on the pads before you install them. Hope this helps.

olivedrabax10 this is great to hear. I never even took this into accountable. Even though they are factory brake pads I’ll admit I had to deglaze them not to long ago. Again.

Medium or coarse steel wool would also be a good idea; it's my go-to for resurfacing metal parts. I find that when doing it by hand, sandpaper is prone to removing too much material and carving out low spots under your fingers. Plus most auto stores sell it at least as fine as #00 grade, which is excellent for (very gently!) cleaning up gasket mating surfaces, slider pins and stuff like that.

Next time you replace your pads, ask the part store worker what pads you can get that help reduce glazing on the rotors. You may have cheaper pads on your car. A long time ago, the pad material (Asbestos) had BRASS shavings embedded in it. Brass is a soft metal so as it wore away it would help keep Glazing down.

​@@james66872what grit. And what about the pads. Don't you have to do something, or is there something you can do if you can't afford new ones?

Wrong. And the very beginning of the video I said that you need to open your calipers so that the brake pads are not touching the rotors and that you must wipe them off private

aca1can2 A good medium grit sandpaper works really well and then you can go over the rotor again with a finer sandpaper to clean all a little burrs off. Don't forget your break paste and also to press the brake pedal a couple times to seat the brakes back into place before you try to move the vehicle

Vincent Valentine No! In your case you might want to have the rotors turned

Thanks man. Appreciate the reply!

Selman Heybeli Glaze is created from the dust and or after market brake pads. I don’t want to say that this is temporary but it’s a lot better than going out and buying new rotors and new brake pads when literally all you have to do is get rid of the glaze on the rotor itself and maybe scuff up the brake pad with the appropriate sandpaper not the same stuff I was using

Hard braking glazes rotors as well and low quality brake pads. You can always bring them to O'Reilly and have them machined. Costs at 15 bucks a rotor. The sandpaper trick isn't a long term solution. Buy brake pads that are scorched that you don't have to bed-in. Factory brake pads are the way to go.

@@Gearhead2286 the days of turning rotors are pretty much over. Most rotors don’t have enough metal for this now. Less metal equals more heat. More heat /thinner metal equals warped rotors. For the labor done it is worth it to swap to a quality rotor with decent metal.

@@1997LT1Camaro not everyone can afford to replace rotors. Factory OEM Honda Rotors have good thickness so to sage the customer money we machine them. It's all based on the customers needs and money. Not everyone can afford new rotors. That's just how Acura does it.

Not necessarily.

My Subaru “Outback” was the trickiest car so far but as long as all four wheels are off the ground, you will be OK

Put it in gear. The Honda Odyssey is a front wheel drive vehicle. And yes, your ABS light will come on but it will reset itself once you hit like 20 miles an hour when your all done. Remember to get the appropriate sandpaper.

This process is only intended to take the shiny glaze off of the rotor, so that your brake pads do not squeak. It is not intended to straighten a warped rotor, but again to takeoff the shininess. But your question would be yes, you can just please be very careful to not get your fingers jammed against the rotor housing. Yes you can

Those may not be his exact words but what he was saying is that you have aftermarket brake pads, (lifetime warranty) that do more harm than good to your vehicle. Imagine your metal brake rotor spinning and you’re trying to slow it down with two rocks squeezing the metal rotor. The rocks are scratching and damaging your rotor versus too soft erasers squeezing up against your metal rotor. When it comes to brake pads. I only use oem/factory.

h3r0 0f t1m3 , this sandpaper that I used is wrong. What do you want is a medium grit from your local automotive store. All you’re doing technically is to get rid of the shine and scuff up the brake pads. But don’t forget to pump the brake pedal before you try to move the vehicle.

I'm sure he's trying to keep the car cool. It's probably an improper refrigerant charge (too much, or too little)...could be an airflow issue like dirty cabin air filter, or clogged condenser...causing either too high or too low head pressure. My bets that it's just not charged correctly.

Sure why not? The engine will stall if you can stop both rotors but other than that it's the same

invisiblekid69 that is funny. I have no idea why I was thinking my mom. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😂

uhmeizuhngralphf05 oh ya. Totally works. I need to update the video with the appropriate sandpaper and a Different technique that works 20 times better

kingchrisp198432. You do not need to sand the brake pads, but still need to put on the brake paste. Also clean the rotor with a wet rag or something before applying the new brake pads.

James Carroll I thought since the rotor is glazed that the pads are glazed as well, so if I just unglazed the rotor and not the pads will the pads cause the rotor to glaze right back up?

kingchrisp198432. You can sand the pads a little bit to your liking. The roughness on the brake rotor will overcome the brake pad.

James Carroll ok thanks

It's pointless deglazing the rotors if you're not going to deglaze the pads too. They really should be done together. After all, you've already gone to the trouble of jacking the car up and removing the wheels, you may as well do the job properly.

I do admit, I was using the wrong sandpaper. I usually take the brake pads off and scuff them up as well but in this case I didn’t and I probably should have

CJ Hosey! Of corse you supposed to have break paste. That's a given. What I am saying is that after the third or fourth set of brake pads, your rotors start to get a little glazed. These rotors do not need to be turned, and I will not turn them unless I have to. I even put a little bit of anti-seize on the ends of the rotor where they slide into the caliber

@@james66872 just came across this video. Are you saying you are on your third or fourth set of pads and the same rotors? That’s your problem right there if that’s true. You either have garbage pads or not measuring the rotors correctly. No way are rotors lasting through 3-4 sets of pads. That’s north of 250,000 miles of city driving alone. Good pads should be lasting more closely to 65-75,000 miles and no rotors last 250,000 miles. As cheaply as rotors are now, just buy a new set. You’ve already gone through the hard part of jacking the car up and taking the wheel off. The rest is cake.

​@@ohboy2592he is destroying the rotors so that he gets full life out of them 😂

Unfortunately, it’s not the same

@@james66872 How so?

Nate Gruber I'm not a big fan of spraying on my breaks. Not even break cleaner. This shine is honestly from a couple sets of factory pads without turning the rotors. Dust is a huge factor.

Nate Gruber You are absolutely right I should have told everybody at the end of the video to pump the brakes and seat the brake pads. Because if not, someone's just going to put the car in reverse or forward and try to stop and they're not going to be able to

How’s that?

LAS VEGAS I agree. Seriously. Don’t forget to pump your brakes prior of backing up

LAS VEGAS well if you noticed I already stopped the hub prior of putting my foot up there.

Nobody. The van is in gear. (Do not push the break pedal more than 2 times without the pads in place!) The caps will fall out

All I use are OEM pads.

@@james66872 How much does your Honda pads cost?

@@blackericdenice What does an $80 set of brake pads have to do with anything

Can’t hear shit

Now that is a not true. No! You may have an ABS light come on but that will reset itself once you go roughly 30 miles an hour

Now that depends on what vehicle you’re talking about. All these other junk cars you shouldn’t have a problem with, but if you own a Subaru, I’d be careful! That one’s going be a little hard. But again, we’re only deglazing the rotors not turning them

No.

How many people think the gloves would get caught and then suck your fingers in

Random Channel Do you honestly think that a little bit of sandpaper is going to unbed the rotors? I honestly do not think so. And if it does, it only last for about 2 miles! All I use is factory break pads my friend

frank rodriguez “Short-cut?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ So your saying to have them turned instead? And NO! No need to scuff up the pads.

If you noticed, I stopped the hub before I put my foot there

Randy Joseph You don’t have to buddy. No worries

Your an idiot. Fran synthetic oil filters are just as good as any other synthetic oil filters

@@Trd2020 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7p-fa92u56nd2w.html

Rich G I don't understand what you are saying. The rotors are not warped, their just glazed. That's all. No need to have them turned

James, I didn't understand him, either. Mainly because his English and grammar completely blows!

Corona light which is what? My wife is easy on the brakes and yes after a while it does create a little bit of glaze. I always use the factory brake pads with break paste and even a little bit of anti-seize on the very tips of the pads where they slide into the caliper

James Carroll just turn off comments on future videos, people are garbage.

The rotors are not warped, so why take them off and loose material
