When you are compressing your calipers crack the bleeder and force the old
fluid out and you are not pushing the old fluid back to the MC. Keep in
mind if you live in an area with road salt the bleeder may snap off.
You should try to replace brakes on a semi truck and put a tire on
we were lucky enough to get to see your grandfather but l don’t recall
seeing your father or your mother are they still alive and well your sister
tickled me to see her stepping around that little chicken on her videos
best to you and yours
I grew up doing my own vehicle work. Had to, too poor to pay to have
someone else do it. Taught me a lot though and I’m glad for that. Now
days most vehicles are just too complicated for the average guy to work on
under the hood. We can still do the other mechanicals like brakes etc.
Makes me want to keep driving my 20yr old vehicle because I can still do
the work on it myself and I know it’s going to be done the way I want it
done.:-) b
wouldn’t performance parts be above OEM parts?
There is a tool that enables one to bleed brakes by ones self and no it
isnt a pressure bleeder. All the tool is is a piece of 1/2 ” emt with a
flat steel of aluminum plate. You pump the pedal and then hold the pedal
down and then engage this tool to hold the pedal down againt the drivers
seat. The tool works like a frictiin type caulking gun.
Also it is not a good idea just to change the pads unless the rotors are
farely smooth because if they are not the uneven rotors will cause surgeing
brakes.
Those pads looked like they had a lot of life left in them.
I heard Mrs. W assisting with the brake job! I was wonder if she was
wearing her Snap-On overalls?
Doesn’t that DOT 4 brake fluid go back quicker than DOT 3? DOT 3 literally
last forever, but from what I’ve read, it’s not worth using anything else
unless the manufacture says so. I don’t recall the specifics.
I always prefer to use a bleeding tool with a one way valve. It prevents
fluid spraying into eyes or onto paint. It also means you can do the job if
on your own.
Always buy quality brake parts or any safety equipment. Pennies won’t
matter as you career towards a hairpin and the brakes fade.
Good videos, though, Cody. A good edition to the brand.
Getting on time for me to do my truck. Need to get to it before the pads
are gone and I mess up the rotors.
paint onaxe handles! or is that stain?
very cool IDK about the quality of different parts at the stores. Great Tip
When you replace brake pads it’s a good idea to smear copper grease on the
back of the pad, this will stop the brakes squealing. Also, you can put a
little copper grease on the caliper bolts and wheel nuts to stop them
ceasing, in fact, any bolt that is subjected to heat or the weather, or
both.
Don’t forget to clean and lube it all up. Good video though. Always room
for improvement
under 301 club YEAH
I really enjoy these videos, I always pick up a tip or 2 on how to do
things a better way. Thank you for sharing :)
I’ve not heard of anyone replacing calipers on a regular basis before (not
on cars in the UK at least), usually only if the dust seals have split and
the pistons are sticking that they get replaced over here. I tend to clean
up and smear a little graphite grease on sliders, and just a little smear
of copper-slip on the pad ears.
Are your vehicles tested every year over there?
it helps to use a hose and a coke bottle to help see air in the lines
That’s not right your suppose to turn or replace rotors and you have to put
break grease on the pads and the hardware the way you did it is like doing
a oil change and not replacing the filter
This should not be a “How to video” This should be a “How I video” because
there’s so many points you missed and misleading information stated
When did you get new tires?
Fun part is when you have to replace the shoes on the rear parking
brakes….
(bozo that designed them should be strung up by his toes…)
BTW do you ever get problems with your rotors warping? (front & or rear),
If so about the only known solutions I have found are to A) make sure your
calipers are in perfect operating order (inc brackets) and B) use Cryo
Treated Power Slot Rotors and Hawk Pads (Expensive, but they don’t warp).
On Batteries, Interstate & Optima are the best I have used, Walmart
Batteries are very random as to if you will get good ones, some go dead
cell after as little as 2 weeks.
Another great video! I like the mechanics stuff!
Cheers for the vid, once more. Wish I had more experience with mechanics
but I guess I’ll learn it by doing it !
What I like is your new Wranglerstar video starter and finish
Work smarter not harder. Love my FORDs, seem you have gotten your moneys
worth out of them BFGs
Awesome video. You’re a great teacher. I like these videos a lot.
Those are great skills to grow up learning.
God Bless
Well done Cody you did a great job explaining and showing how to do a brake
job.
There is one thing I have to disagree on is buying auto parts. Now a days
there’s so many poor quality OEM parts on the market that sometimes its
better to buy aftermarket parts.
For example 1998 Ford Ranger truck ball joints don’t have grease fittings
right from factory. Which means they fail after quicker. Some aftermarket
ball joints do have grease fittings so when you do your oil change you
grease them and they last longer.
Keep up the great videos can’t wait to see what you upload next.
Moog ball joints are great I have had great luck with them
Great video, I would add cleaning and greasing the caliper slide pin.
Good vid!!
Great video. Do you have shirts or hats for sale and if so where can we
find them? Thanks
Thumbs down for this one. you need to take the bracket off and clean where
the hardware snaps on to. replace the hardware with the new supplied parts.
And use slide grease and grease/ clean your slide pins.
