I'm really thankful for your videos, I watch it anytime when I fix the car. It is really clear to understand how to do my own. ❤

Chris: first off, thank you so much for your videos. They've allowed me to do more work on my car than I thought possible, and helped me realize just how much can be done on my car by myself. It's becoming a hobby of mine to keep it in shape and clean (2003 Chevy Malibu with almost 278k miles.) Second: I just fixed some brake noise that I can remember if it was covered in this video or not: my brake hardware needed a little bending to be clear of the rotors (it was rubbing against the brake pad hardware which mounts in the caliper bracket.) Bonus points: I fought with a pair of sticky caliper pins for a half hour and now they function properly, and my steering wheel doesn't shake when I go over 50mph. Keep up the awesome videos! You've got +1 story now to encourage you to keep going. :)

Brilliant video. Been doing my own brakes for years, yet I learned several things here! Great info, especially about the brake hardware and the silicone and copper anti-seize paste.

The most informative video compared to all the brake videos combined. This guy is such a genius that he dumb down the complex engineering to my level. Keep up the great work!

+Shane Blandford-Scherr I've changed probably 3 or 4 like that. In one case the guy was trying to save money. He pushed it, and pushed it. Eventually, the rotor wore down as you see it, and the backing plate wore down so much it was able to exit the caliper bracket through the gap between it and the rotor. The caliper piston then contacted the exposed cooling vanes of the rotor. The piston got so hot and mangled from that, it melted the dust boot and square cut seal. He tried to save money on a simple pad and rotor brake job, and ended up paying for pads, rotors, 2 front calipers, and a brake fluid exchange. Some people's kids man...

it's frightening how oblivious a lot of people are to this kind of thing, and the potential consequences of it.

I actually had that happen to me in my dad's expedition. we ignored it for awhile and then while driving down my road I just heard a bunch of metal peices break off and rattle around the wheels. the disc only had one side when we took it out.

@gravemind6536 5 жыл бұрын

The guide pins will rust and the rust will weld them tight to the caliper aka they are seized and very difficult to remove and will most likely need serious force and or a penetrating lubricant to remove them.
