In this video I will be showing you everything you need to know to properly and safely diagnose whether or not you have warped brake components. I will also show you how to confirm that the parts are warped and how to replace them on your vehicle. This is not a hard job but with my tips and tricks you'll be diagnosing this issue like a seasoned professional! This is important gearhead stuff to know!

If you have ever wondered how people know so much about cars and are absolutely crazy about anything with a motor, then this is a great series for you.

Tired of paying other people money to fix your car? Then ya gotta learn this stuff!

I really like the way you explain things; right to the point and always reminding of the little details that are easily overlooked. At the end of this one, I feel like I had hours worth of instruction that was condensed down to only twenty minutes. Thanks.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my video and my teaching style! Actually you just got years of experience in 20 min....lol. if you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

Perfect timing for this video. I have a seized caliper on the front of my Avalanche. Brakes are intimidating but watching you do everything helps a lot. Great videos man. Love your channel

@wayofthewrench 21 күн бұрын

Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video! If you have a seized caliper, you're going to have to replace it and if the other caliper is the same age and looks rough, I would change both. You'll have to bleed your brakes after too and I have a great video on that coming soon too. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!

For the brake bleed video, I use the Power Bleeder. Little product from Amazon that lets you bleed brakes by yourself.

@wayofthewrench 21 күн бұрын

You'll enjoy the video, I show how to do all of the methods but yeah my favorite method I'd pressure bleeding. I use a Speedibleed setup and it works great. Thanks for the good suggestion. Cheers.

Love your channel. Hearing you speak, there's no doubt that you are a Canadian. Love that accent. I live in Missouri, and while we do have salt in the winter, it's not nearly as bad as up in the North. That sure makes it easier to work on older cars. I have no pulsations on my 2015 impala with 75,000 miles on it. Would you recommend having them machine the rotors anyway? They only have very minor grooves, so I think they are worth resurfacing. I get a kind of roaring sound when applying my brakes at highway speeds, and even though my pads aren't worn out, I'm assuming this is a sign that they are getting thin maybe? No pulsation with that sound.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the content! You'll have to check with a dial indicator to rule out no warped rotors. If those are ok, then check for stuck slider pins/ uneven wear on inner/outer pads. If the rotors are just slightly worn, there is no need to machine them, especially if they are not warped. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

How did he know I wanted a root beer? I have a friend who just warped their rotors. Timing was impeccable

Most vehicles I’ve had used different brakes (drums often) for the parking brake as compared to the rear service brakes. So, the parking brake test won’t tell you much with those vehicles.

@wayofthewrench 21 күн бұрын

Yeah some cars have internal parking drum brakes and rear disk brakes but not every vehicle. Another thing to think about is the front brakes do 90% of the braking so usually they are the ones that are warped. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

Curious why you replaced the caliper vs rebuild it.. Lets face it.. A caliper rebuild is cheap quick and easy... Ive seen you turning rotors to avoid the whole r&r culture... Then see you just replace a rebuildable part. Just wondering why you recommend one way in one video and another way in an other... Its less probable that somone has a brake late handy, but a caliper rebuild is something anyone can do on their bench or tailgate.. Just sayin.. Conflicting. Methods..

@wayofthewrench Күн бұрын

In the video I explained that the customer wanted new calipers rather than rebuilt so that is what was put on. Plus it will allow me to make a separate caliper rebuild video later so this one wouldn't be so long. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!

@@wayofthewrench gotcha.. I must have missed that explanation... Makes sense... Like your vids.. Wish more of the youngsters would pay attention... Getting to the point where I just don't care anymore... Lol.. Thanks for the content...
