this was great, thanks.
my rear passenger cylinder just went on my 2001 TJ yesterday…great vid! very helpful!
Great video,I’ll be attempting this repair today after watching this I’m sure I can handle it, THANKS!!
Right, and put on cut proof gloves. I do know better but for some reason I think all of my videos are sans personal protective equipment.
Very good but for safety sake remove your ring. My two cents.
Very good. Thanks. But for safety sake upon
Thank you so much. This safe us alot of temper tantrums and a lot of time. keep on making your films.
I got a 2010 Wrangler JK. I need to replace the speed sensor. I located it on the driver side of transmission unlike the Tcase where it would normally be situated. I got 2 couplings tandemly arrayed & they are awkward to get to. Do I unplug the one nearest the front or the back? I’m in Egypt & mechanics suck here. So I gotta fix it myself. Thx again.
Yeah, It depends on who you ask. I don’t see much reason to add DOT 5 to DOT 3 unless that is all you have. The benefits would only really occur with replacement, not a mixture. I know I like 5 in my motorcycles because 5 is not corrosive to paint like 3/4.
Dude I greatly appreciate this. My 93 YJ has a leaker and this is so easy I am just going to do both…….have you changed to DOT 5? I have DOT 3 and have heard good things about 5….like you just add it in and it works fine with 3. HOWEVER NOT 5.1, IT DOES NOT MIX WITH DOT 3.
Hah! $240. I spent $10 and could do it in 20 minutes. Now, if you replaced the shoes, had to buy a line wrench and counted what I spent on brake clean and rags you might get to $40. I would suggest buying a drum brake tool also. Have since bought one and it makes dealing with the springs much easier.
I get what they are doing. They can’t half-ass anything due to liability. But, don’t be scared. You can handle this? (I mean ! or .)
Sorry, that’s supposed to be a question mark, not an exclamation point. IM SCREAMING AT YOU!!!! J/k
Question, tires plus just wanted to charge me 160 for this EXACT job plus 80 for a necessary brake system flush and fill. How long and how difficult is this job!
Very cool. Jeep On!
Hey. Yeah I got a new cylinder and it worked just fine. The first one was just faulty I guess? Anyway it’s all done and my breaks feel great! I learned a lot from your video! Very helpful. Thanks for saving me Money.
Thanks bud!!!!
Will do, Just finished my wall hangers for the doors and soft top components. Will try to get that filmed next week.
Apparently the parking brake mechanism was stuck, no more locking brakes..thanks!!
Keep up the good work and keep more Jeep vids coming!!!
Hmmn. Could be, but I am not sure how. Have you had it apart? Sounds like it needs an inspection. Could make a good video.
Yeah, I have to edit out too many mistakes to narrate as I go. 😉
I wonder if the hard line is just misaligning the nut. While your picking up the wheel cylinder, buy a new hard line nut too. You won’t be able to put it on the line w/o a flare tool, but you can at least verify that the threads are good in the wheel cylinder.
Thanks for video. I attempted to change my cylinder. Went okay except the hard line won’t screw into the new cylinder! ?? Nether look stripped so hopefully it’s the cylinder. Getting another tomorrow. Any other suggestions? J
Love the way u do your videos with the voice over lay!!!!
I barely press brake pedal and the rear right tire blocks. Bad drum? Thanks for the video
Line wrenches and penetrating oil. This stuff is usually rusted tight.
nice video help me out alot my first time doing brake lines and stuff thanks
Yeah, good point. One clue should have been some bubbling of the powdercoat on the inside of that wheel. Brake Fluid is corrosive, gear lube would not be. Other than that, I guess you could clean it all up then look for a leak sitting there, maybe while someone pumps the brakes.
Good video. I just replaced the rear pads on my 1995 Jimmy and I noticed there was lots of grease. I know you replaced the axle seals and then found out it was the wheel cylinders, so I’m wondering if you have a better idea now how to determine which is leaking. Thanks!
Speaking of idiots. I thought the leak was my axle seal. Changed it (see other video) then noticed it was the brake cylinder all along. Also, a lot of mistakes can be deleted during editing. Jeep On!
Great video. You simplified it do even an idiot like me can get the job done. Thanks
Great video. Thank you for taking the time.
That was a very god video! I’m going to go do it now!
It’s a very informative, easy to understand, clean video.
PLEASE MAKE MORE!
jeep on!
great video thanks
clear and concise. Very good !
