I worked as an entry level tech for 4 years. I made similar mistakes… the 25 year master techs made mistakes too. I appreciate the humility and insight I receive on your videos. Thank you for taking the time to video these repairs.

Humans make mistakes. It says a lot about your character Kenny. Keep up the good work. God Bless 🙏.

Making a brake line flare is tough enough in such a tight spot, but doing a great job of filming it at the same time deserves a definite thumbs-up!

Hey Kenny, Here's one for ya: Two young ladies came into the shop and asked for brake problem diagnosis on a Chevrolet van. When I drove it into the shop it had absolutely no brakes at all. So popped the hood and the master was MT. I lifted it up and looked everywhere for evidence of a brake fluid leak. I pulled the wheels and looked at the wheel cyls and calipers; nothing. Everything was bone dry. So I filled the master and began to bleed the whole entire brake system. As I went about it the two ladies came out to watch. In a couple minutes they told me I wouldn't need to bleed the brakes because they had already done that. I told them I was still going to do it and they were going to have to pay for it. They were not very happy about that, so I explained it to them. That was probably 20yrs ago but I remember it like yesterday. ben

Finally, someone who is just as meticulous in his work, and just as critical of other peoples slop as I am! Thank You!

the more i watch you tube and see what they go thru in the winter I LOVE ALABAMA

I’m glad to find your channel. I’m 65 and in the same business in Norway. The same problems- young people use the parts cannon, I tend to repair 😂❤

Don't apologize you just proved you are Human. nobody is perfect and you never claimed that you are perfect.

I'm following SeaLab Experimental Division & I appreciate your work. 1 ALL VEHICLES OVER 10 YEARS OLD AS A MATTER OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE GET A NEW MASTER CYLINDER OR I DONT WORK ON IT. PERIOD! LIVES LOST DO NOT COME CLOSE TO THE PRICE OF A MASTER CYLINDER. I'm not a fan of splicing brake lines old. I always try to replace the entire line especailly on an old rusty crusty vehicle. Replacing entire line also removes any inherent rust issues inside or outside of the line.

He should be a teacher. He trouble shoots to the problem, fixes it thoroughly.

Good video kennny. I have one of those old double flair tools I bought in 1970. Cumbersome but it worked. Love that new tool but at 76 I don’t anticipate doing any brake lines. Tough to get down and even tougher to get up. Eve for an old wrench like myself you make very good sense that a lot of younger folks are in too much of a hurry and overlook or are totally ignorant. Again, excellent.

You got that one right Kenny. 🤣My son has been driving my truck lately. Fully loaded it is a bit gutless. Therefore, because he is a little impatient, his foot was always to the floor. He started complaining that the throttle was jamming open. It never happens when I'm driving.

Good job!

Hey Kenny- New to the channel. The algorithm took me from Rainman Ray to your channel. Very cool. I'm in I.T. for many years and can spot a skilled troubleshooter and technician; which you certainly are. Keep it up!

So glad to see you flared the lines and used a coupler instead of a compression fitting. We don't allow compression fittings on brake lines up here in Ontario. I did see a shop vid from Florida recently that proposed using a compression fitting on a brake line repair ... 👌

When you live in the rusty, crusty, North where every snow and ice event is followed by a liberal dowsing of salt on the roads you’ll understand why a coating of anti seize is used on the metal surfaces of our vehicles. I have used anti seize on wheel studs for 50 years after twisting them off trying to get the lug nuts off. There are places it shouldn’t be used and common sense must prevail.😊

I know in PA compression are illegal. I think that truck was passed on to you by Watch Wes. Never saw that tool before, really slick, especially in limited space, like in this job.

I appreciate your humbleness about making mistakes we certainly all do

I had my fun with my 06 Silverado's brakes. Had to replace the rear line. While I was at it, I replaced the rotors, pads, drums, wheel cylinders, and shoes. That was in 2018. Good for 12 years on the originals. Been fine since then. I learned that stainless lines are a bear to work with. Gave that up and switched to the flexible lines. Those were much easier and now I have a spool of it if I ever need it. Bought a nice flaring tool. I could've used this video!

Nice flaring tool . I may look into one . The Cal-Van Tools 165 flaring kit is a nice one too .
