It wasn't clear to me how you knew after the 3rd heating/cooling cycle that it "broke free"? Did you discover that by trying to turn it in between and, if so, how much torque did you use on the first, second, and third tries before getting it free? It would be good to see/understand these intermediate steps.

I saw tgis video last fall and tried ti removed the rusty nipple of me volvo and now its spring again and have ni luck ti removed it lol now going ti change the whole caliper instead. Maybe its better to buy a induction heater safer than flamable butain especially when u work near the tank.

@nicholasroberts6954 Ай бұрын

One slight variation on this method is to apply releasing fluid and leave overnight. Then attempt to very slightly tighten and apply more releasing agent and try to release. If no joy, alternate gas blowlamp(pencil flame) /electrical heat gun and plumbers freezer spray.(Though you really should remove the caliper, and take out the rubbers and piston before applying heat). Also, insert a length of welding wire in the nipple to stop it shearing/collapsing (Better fit than an allen key) I often wonder whether its possible to reverse the electo-phorectic effect thats caused the nipple to jam... 12 volt car battery, positive to niplle, negative to caliper. Downside, it would probably take days rather than hours. Always replace the nipples with new and apply a thin film of marine zinc grease to the thread. Anybody tried a drill in hammer mode and applied the head only to the caliper near the nipple ? It would be interesting to know how hot the calipers near the rubbers would get using this method. Maybe a point-and-shoot infra-red device could be used to detect temperature at this locality. I believe the rubbers can tolerate up to 140c and the brake fluid slightly less.

Wish I had seen this before I snapped one off.🙁 But I would like to add... to prevent from ever having to struggle with a bleeder ever again, I put anti-seize compound on the threads of bleeders and all bolts.

@TutorialGenius 4 ай бұрын

owww! sorry to hear! Definitely a good call on the anti-seize though, it's great stuff!

@mycarrysun 25 күн бұрын

Just be careful with torque specs on anti seized bolts, the friction is less so therefore the expected compression under the same torque spec will be higher, potentially causing a snapped bolt. Depending on the size of the bolt and amount of torque this may or may not be a problem.

Can you use a socket an impact gun instead?

I would never use an impact gun on this

I guess the bleeder could break?@@TutorialGenius

@jacksmith2315 24 күн бұрын

@@limamantapachitasyes, impact gun would snap the bleeder way to easy. There is a tool called an impact driver. You put a socket on the end and hit the other end with a hammer. You have a lot more control with that than an impact gun. That would be a good tool to use because it could shock the rust bond. But still would use the heat and cool method first

I would never take heat / torch to a caliper. One you can burn the brake fluid, the rubber brake line, or start a fire any flammable materials or damage the piston rubber seals. The cost of a new caliper is far less expensive if something goes wrong. Also on old brake calipers they can hang up due to rust and release when you take the pressure off the brake pedal.

@TutorialGenius 4 ай бұрын

I disagree, but here's why: You know how hot brake discs/pads can get right? and the boiling temperature of brake fluid? (Which is why a fluid like this is used)... Well given that safety net, you're not using a torch long enough to remotely boil anything, especially through the caliper metal. I already highlighted in the video with regards to rubber, so i'll omit that here. If you live in a rust belt, you're not going to replace 4 calipers each time the screw is seized. That's not realistic. Imagine if you run a brake lube company in a rain/humid environment, and each time a customer comes in, you tell them they need new calipers.

@brucel76 4 ай бұрын

Excuse me a little here. 1) I do not own, run, or work in auto shop this is only my opinion. I used to work in a heavy equipment shop and the one thing that taught us was safety first. I know the temps of brake fluid boiling point is. The issue is most of the time there is grease from tie rod ends ball joints plastics and who knows what other flammable substances is down around the calipers. Then if you get someone who isn't that familiar with cleaning off the area they are working in that is where fires can start. What I said is all about safety first. I would rather spend $40.00 for a brand new caliper than take a chance and have something go wrong. Also with new calipers you know that the pistons, slide bolts, the rubber boots are new. @@TutorialGenius

Even if you heat the brake fluid, when you open the bleeder screw you will bleed out that compromised brake fluid and allow fresh through. With that said, heat around the screw, you need a pinpoint flame, nothing large. Keep a fire hydrant nearby, always mechanics 101 when working on any car.

@@TutorialGenius I agree, the temperature of a caliper during normal operating temperature is extremely high and I doubt the flame will get it any hotter than that if you did it for the amount of time you said.
