Anti seize on the slide pins is crazy work

I think brakes are very easy to do and people should learn to do them.

can you tell me if i must use the tool to compress the caliper with the puck that spins it as well as pushes it in? i am confused because i have seen multiple videos that say you have to spin it as it pushes however i see you simply used the tool i have that just pushes it in? any help would be great, i dont want to screw up the caliper if i do have to get the spin and push tool. thanks

Your paid for the knowledge and completion of a job done right. So a 200€ job is fair when done correctly

Yeah I’m definitely gonna keep doing it myself

Great video. Thanks

Love your video, because you showed how close it is to uninstall and reinstall the parts.. I don't have the car yet but watching until i get mine. Lol

I mean yeah I don't grease the outside of the pads if they have the Teflon outer sheet metal pad but I do everything else and I charge 130 an hour so I feel like that's good payment for that work

My family(3 cars) has been scamming me for 6 years by making me do it for free.

Its the Hub Bearing

Very Nice your video help me a Lot tomorrow i have they same brake job for My wife daugther. Thanks for Your video My friend

No matter what use the funnel and pop that cap

I would pay $200 for a brake job done correctly. It’s worth every cent.

🤦‍♂️ ok I like training, especially when the company pays for it, one time at a training class on brakes, the instructor was the head of Napa Auto Parts “Brake Rotor division” he said Never put Anti-seize on the hub face, and then he showed us why not to do that……. Do what you want with this info🤷‍♂️

Do you mean to not buy pads and rotors from rock auto?

No I don’t think you’re overcharging, plus they are also paying for the convenience of going to their home and working there instead of them having to find a ride back home or waiting at a stinky shop.

Not even worth that money . 150 max

This is why i never work on friends vehicles. Just asking for issues. Once ina while i will but i feel bad charging them what i should, even tho its way less than any shop and same or most times better work and attention to detail….but then end up charging them way less and run into a big mess on just a simple brake job. I charged my friend 200 bucks for a water pump change on a trailblazer some years back that i did in the driveway in January….bout 25 degrees out. Prime example there lol luckily no issues tho and went smoothly as it should

Thing about capitalism which is always fun to watch is, aside from agriculture which gets screwed over, you can charge whatever you want, blame inflation, and make $$$$. Works for corporations, why not you too? Value is whatever you say it is anyway.

I got a brake job done. It cost me almost $1000. 😂😂😂

This is exactly why I do my own work on my car.

Do you remember how much coolant you added? I'm seeing posts that say the capacity is 4 gallons and obviously I won't need to replace all of it, but trying to not buy more than necessary.

The stealerships charge $200+ just to flush your brake fluid.

I’d pay 200 for a good blow job 😂. But nah I just spent the afternoon doing my brakes and rotors and one of the calipers that had a crack in a piston myself.

Great upgrade, as even the European 944 has very poor lights, as a fellow 944 owner and an ex-Porsche technician, I strongly recommend that you fit a cover over the battery to prevent arcing on the bonnet. The original Porsche batteries were shorter than the batteries available today, always use a sealed, maintenance free battery to prevent acidic fumes when combined with the rainwater that always finds itself on top of the battery thus preventing corrosion of the battery tray. I recall that Porsche has a battery cover available.

Per axel? Your crazy

You had me at $200 for a brake job. $200 per axle? Absolutely not. The customer should should pay for the parts cost and your time/hour. Overcharging for each part of the car you work on is ridiculous.

Bro come on! 5 screws each side and you have to push the brake cylinder back on each side! Why is it a 200$ job?

I don’t mind paying for quality work…if I don’t do it myself that is 😏

Thanks for the easy to follow and thorough video.

GMC charges $300 is a ripping off. I do it myself for $30.

Applied fluid dynamics 😂

In the Uk BMW want $650 (£520) for front discs and pads for a 520D!

Per axle. I’m a mechanic working onboard and u get a small job done for that price while we work away from our families to get 150 per day if ur high rank 😂 that’s why I service as much as I can all family cars

Roof rack looks good , I have same color e46 just not drive . Love those cars !

7:03 , 3:10 , 9:10 , 10:35

I just went in for a brake job at a mom and pop shop replacing all 4 rotors and their pads. Less than 24hr later the parking brake malfunctioned and now the car is stuck in the driveway blocking my other cars in. Anyway is it possible the shop didn’t change out the brake parts properly using the maintenance mode and didn’t recalibrate the parking brake?

I have read that doing this method can cause problems with the abs pump? Can someone please explain this?

heresay.

Awesome video, thank you!

I think that two things can be true, at the same time. It's not unreasonable for shops or mechanics to charge odd prices for simple work...and you should ~always~ do something yourself if you have the ability. The cost difference, is convenience.

Found this just in time. Cutting the dam ON the truck was key. My cuts weren't pretty, but no one will ever know. Thanx for posting.

What kind of testers did u used

What’s the grey paste he puts on before putting the rotor?

Beautiful. 😍 thanks for sharing I just added oil right before I saw this. It’s Karma.

Are the brake pistons not electronic on the cx5? I know it is on the cx9

bro for 200 a side you coulda done new pads and routers and calipers all around and still came out on top

Definitely worth $250 - $300 mainly because you're cleaning and that makes a huge difference in the longevity.

I put the grease on the pad ears not under the hardware but that’s just how I was taught. My own tip don’t just zip lug bolts in I’d recommend put them all in down by hand then zip so you don’t cross thread and cause more issues

Does anyone know if these instructions can be applied to at 2019 if the vehicle in the video is 2017?
