Wow! I'd give this two thumbs up if I could! So far one of the most detailed and best explained videos on the subject I've seen. Thanks for taking time to share this!

Ive been working on my own vehicles for a long time and never knew the hose could be the problem awesome video thank you

Thanks! Great video, and a natural teaching style! This is helping me get my work truck back on the road! I could watch you working on cars and talking about it all day!

_Just stumbled across this vid. Yep, I had this happen 6 months ago on my wife's Pontiac GTP. She had burnt the dust boot around the caliper piston and blued the rotor, probably made it hard as diamond xD. I bought a new caliper, rotor and pads. Like you, I couldn't get the caliper to budge until I loosened the bleeder. I went back to Autozone and bought the new flexible line and everything's worked like normal since._ _I took the old line to work with me (Ind Maint Tech since '88) and performed an autopsy on it and found the inner liner had split and folded backwards at the crimped hyd fitting, at the bracket (i guess because of it flexing ). And yes it was acting like a check valve, just like you said._ _I know these new Poly-Lined hyd hoses protect Industrial systems from rubber debris in sensitive systems, but they're not designed to be flexed on a regular basis, like they are in autos. Like most all plastics the Poly liners get brittle over time._ _I'm sure your vid will help thousands of people. I think during the next oil change/tire rotation, I'm going to replace the passenger side flex line also._

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've replaced everything but the hoses, lines, and expensive stuff and still dragging. Apparently this is fairly prevalent in Ford F150 in the 2002_2006 or so era. As is brake line rust. So here comes the penetrating oil and trip to the ijit auto parts place for hoses..... Thanks man, nice troubleshooting and video!!!

Great explanation, and video work. Will use it to help me fix a stuck caliper tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to do stuff like this, subscribed.

Very helpful and well made. Thank you!

Thank You Thank You. Everyone who is not a car machanic, needs you as a best friend or a good neighbor at least.

Thank you greatly! I've been trying to figure out where I'm having problems for 2 days now. I haven't been able to find a single thing. Your video is the only thing that has helped me and you answered everything I needed to know. Thank you again!

I remembered watching this when you originally posted it, and referred back to it this week. Turns out I had a bad hose on my old Town & Country minivan. You do a great job of calmly, methodically diagnosing problems. I would have figured it out on my own, but not without a lot of head scratching and wasted time. Thank you for making these wonderful videos! I always look forward to them!

The accent somehow makes him more credible

Great explanation! Helped me repair my '99 F250

Great diagnostic tips, thanks!

1.5 million views, and probaly 1.2 million taking credit for your video and teaching lessons here. that means this was a awesome video, well done. thanks man.

Thanks , this video helps a lot.

THANKS MAN. Many People will save money and appreciate this and other helpful videos for many years to come.

I've never gravity bled brakes before... always had to have someone apply the footbrake a number of times.. Great clip.

Hey hey hey I saw a dribble of brake fluid. Thanks for bring us along on the repair. 😁😁😁😁

This is really helpful,, it was my hose,,,good on ya bro for doing passing the knolage,,, ,i have a feeling there will be a seat in Valhalla reserved for you,,🍀

some very useful tips, thanks...that gravity bleed is something I've never seen before so for me working on my car by myself most of the time that is very useful...

Thanks-I just got a new banjo bolt to install.Hope that fixes it.If not last thing is hose.Really can't see anything wrong there though.Problem is very small.

Excellent video & some great troubleshooting tips. Thanks.

Very good video. You are the man of brakes.

finally some new info for a nightmare problem, after changing suspect calliper with used part still rotor was seized solid now i will try hose replacement as a last resort

You rock! I've been looking for this

Great video; thanks for sharing! I just replaced both front brake calipers/brackets on my son's 2007 Toyota Corolla and was able to verify the left caliper was in fact the culprit in this case.

Thank you, my old reliable Malibu 2006 got the same problem, I replaced both front hoses and problem solved, next I will replace the two rear hoses too just in case, after all they all are same age. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. My front right caliper got stuck yesterday and happened before two years ago. Now I have some leads on where to start troubleshooting.

Great video! I have the same issue with my Ford Edge. Parts are on order and I'll be changing them out tomorrow.

Thank you for posting, I am getting ready to replace the brake lines and 're-work my caliper' ~ this video is helpful ~ I suspect the brake line, but (have all of the parts) to proceed further if needed.

Good info. I didn't know about diagnosing the brake lines and how that could make the brakes stick. Thanks.

I have just replaced the four brake callipers on my 1995 Rover 820 si with remanufactured ones, nice video I have enjoyed watching it.

As always great tips Terry! CJ

great video very well explained and presented this helped me so much thankyou so much sir...

Great video. Instructions were clear and thorough

U can always tell if a mechanic is good by attention to detail. This guy has my respect.

Very well done explaining everything so perfectly thanks for helping me out

Wilber that is a great way to bleed the brakes, I like it. I just greased the pins and it seems to have stopped the front left brake binding, if it sticks again I will replace the hose and caliper and use your method of bleeding the brakes.

Great video!! Thanks for sharing with us!

Excellent instruction...Simple, clear and easy to understand.

defenely one of the best videos I have ever seen about calipers and brake lines ...awesome explanation

Thanks Brian.

I’m still amazed at the banjo design and how 2 copper washers can stop brake fluid from leaking. If I was designing it I would have had a screw down fitting like on the other end of the hose has.

Best brake caliper video instruction.

Learn something new everyday, thanks for posting this.

Great video helped me sort my motorcycle brakes. Thanks.

Good tips. Thanks, Cool!

Thanks Martin.

Good eye Ziggy . I saw it on the video too, The rotor is loose on there. I took it all apart and re lubed the slides, then realized the pads were wore on a taper. I think that may be doing it. Thanks for watching .

Thanks CJ

I had same problem. Made same fix, still had same problem. On a hunch I pulled parking brake release....fixed it!! No my parking light indicator was NOT on. 2008 Silverado. It was barely barely engaged but apparently enough to grab the driver's side front wheel.

Thanks Ron

Your video is excellent, your explanation and tips are outstanding, great communicator, good use of vocabulary!

Thank you that was well done

Great video!!! I have watched my share as I typically do but this video was thorough and clear . I feel confident I can do the job and not have doubts I will do the job correctly. Thank you

Thanks for the video, help me understand the throttle sensor light.

Nice job clear and straight away in your presentation

Very good video, sir. Answered questions that a few others didn't!

Good video, I learned a lot, keep em coming, thx for the info

Thanks for watching Tom.

Thanks for this video! It gave me the little details needed to successful complete my brake repair on my 2011 jeep patriot!

Great Straight up Video Thanks Awesome Job nice and gravity bleed when you don't have a helper!

Thanks for a great tips

Straight to the point. Awesome

Great info ty

The best and full detailed video for the beginners or professionals to do correct job

thank you ..... nice work

Thanks for watching

thanks..I am fighting a problem with fluid leaking out around the copper washers and hose/banjo bolt.I replaced the caliper since I saw a defect around where banjo bolt goes thru and also tride new washers with the new caliper and it still seeps,but less.Never had this before.Only option is to try a new banjo bolt and or a new hose.Fluid is not coming out of hose or it's pressed on fitting.

awesome video and a lot of very important details comes from a pro tech and deserve thump up from me and add % 100 on top of it ,thank you very much master tech.

I recently replace a caliper on a 95 dodge b2500 van and was still having issues. Your video pointed out my mistake. I hate to admit it but I left off one of the copper washers on the banjo fitting... Thanks for the video,helped me fix my error. Now to bleed the entire system...

Great video! Much appreciated!

of course it was just another few bolts to fix the real issue thanks for the info

Had the hose /acting as a check valve issue before.Of course I thought it was the caliper like you said until hours of frustration and two calipers.Long before you tube could help me.

Changed the caliper. brakes were still sticking just on one side. I was pulling my hair out then found your video. it was the hose. thank you very much. problem solved

Thanks I needed that info.

Thank you sir!!! This is probably the best informational video I've seen on here don't skip steps and you take the time to describe what you're doing.. One question what is gravity bleeding and how do I do it? Does car have to be running? I'm guessing with cylinder cap off not running

Thanks for posting this video.

Great video, very well explained, too bad no one in the comments knows how drum brakes work, ah well they are relics now a days to the domestic industry

Great job 👍👍👍

Thanks.

Great video. Helped me trouble shoot bad hose.

Thanks dude great resource!!

Good, helpful video. Tshnk you!

Cool got the whole thing all in one video. Thank you

great presentation. Thanks, sir.

Excellent video !!

Looks good- no leaks!

Thank you.

Nice video. I have subscribed. The mechanic changed new master cylinder and bled but still have spongy brake sometimes, so I guess it is the caliper and maybe hose. Most of times I get spongy brake when making left U turn while slow driving. Any advice please?

Very beautiful

Thanks man for the video.

Thanks

Thank you very much !

Thank you so much, god bless you

Man, I hollered! I thought I saw something! Turned out to be a little gunk on my contact lens... Excellent video, nonetheless.
