Also another sign is when you are driving and press the brake pedal, and the vehicle pulls to either the right or left. 👍

[@ezduzit3348]

that last bonus tip mightn be exactly what ive been looking for! my brakes let go yesterday and i noticed the brake hose had ruptured i replaced it and the brake light was still on and braking system was acting strange i was wondering what would cause the hose to randomly rupture as the hose itself looked fine other than the rupture and nothing was around for it to rub on. i thank you very much for the insight even if this isnt the fix i appreciate you taking the time to make the video. thanks again.

[@scrumptiousjdp]

What if my brakes squished down only once a couple months ago ? 2017 chevy bolt. It hardly ever uses the fiction breaks due to regenerative braking. thank you!

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Tip #5, beware of the Napa Eclipse calipers because I bought a pair for the rear of my mom's '07 TL, & one of them had bad/stripped threads out of the box for the banjo bolt fitting. Fun.

[@Ang-e-la]

What about signs a driver should know? Is there a way a driver can determine if they need a caliber without having to remove the tire? Will it make a noise? Will it cause specific driving issues? Will it leave break residues? Great video for a mechanic, now how about us drivers with no mechanic skills.

[@Lil513mama]

If your car jerks to a side while braking

[@rodmcdonough6111]

Yes, most in the "industry" were well aware of PSH's side hustle as an auto repair expert. He has gained a bit of weight however

[@rmsanche]

I was looking at the rotors and noticed that my rear passenger rotor has more "buildup" compared to the others. While the others have a smoother surface area where the brake pads press, this one rotor has less of that smooth surface. It makes sense to me, then, that the pads are not pressing as much against that rotor, correct? Could this be a sign of either a worn brake pad or a seized piston in the caliper? Im asking because this could be somewhat related to what Angela was initially asking about.

[@moonchild5595]

Going through brakes quicker. If you can lift your car and turn the tire and if it’s hard to turn or doesn’t at all it could be a sign of a bad caliper as well.

[@NIN_THUG]

If you can hear a scraping noise

[@JU0800]

Most mechanics will only grease the slider pins and put it back in there, that is a gamble as you may not know if it will seize again

[@miguelquazar883]

Dishonesty deserves death.

I replaced my brakes and rotors 5 months ago. I noticed my calipers are starting to stick on my challenger. My rotors dont look worn at all. Do i need to replace my brakes and rotors again when i replace the caliper and the hose?

[@MarkHerndon]

96 Cougar XR7 front right caliper is bad I think it's making a scraping noise between 15 and 25mph. I don't notice it any other time. Also does not happen at first things seems to have to warm up a bit first four or five stops then it does it mostly with the brakes released. After watching your video I think I am going to ask my shop to replace all the calipers and brake hoses then test proper operation. Just had a brand new engine put in by them they replaced engine mounts, shocks, and struts too I believe. Wanted them to replace the throw out bearing for the transmission too but service lady left that off the engine repair grrrrr.

[@BabyyJayy1219]

Do you replace them as a pair or only the one that is messed up

[@devilboykillz]

My car was making the bad brakes noise for like two weeks now. Got the money today to fix it and got to noticing that the rotor on is bad on the passenger side and all ate up whele the other 3 are pretty even in wear. I that a bad caliper or jus uneven break change from previous owner and me driving on it for two weeks

[@user-tl7bs7xd8o]

My car is pulling to the left and right would that be a bad calipers? I recently just got a wheel alignment , brake pads and rotors so I know that’s not it.

[@schadlarry]

I'd pull the pistons and replace the boot and seal for 1/10 of the price of new calipers. If the piston is scored or frozen, then I would replace the caliper.

[@mikek.9980]

You can still just replace a piston by itself...

Depends on where you live. If in a rusty area best replace the whole caliper after a certain period.

Newbie here! I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6L and ordered the wrong sized rotors (350mm) I need the 330mm but wanted to know, since I got the brake kit, would I need to switch the calipers as well? I matched the pads and they seem exact fit as my previous ones so that's no issue.

[@headstockharem4]

I have a 2005 Chevy Express 3500 Passenger Van. Just replaced both rear calipers, rotors, pads and flex hoses. Right sides seems to be working perfectly! Left side is stuck on, can the guide pins be too tight from the factory? These are NAPA calipers like the one shown in the video. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

[@markorvik]

Why do some machi Mechanics not like copper washers and if they are an issue, what washers work best to reinstall the break line on a new Caliper?

[@whttrails]

These signs are all for the mechanic to know....Can a person tell a caliper piston is seizing by how the car brakes? My car currently "wobbles" when braking and the faster I'm going when I apply the brakes the more noticeable it is. The car moves left and right in cycle as I brake and its dangerous at high speed. I also had this one time seizing with a loud strong metallic grinding noise that dissappeared on its own. The car would barely even move and the noise was loud. Felt like the rims on the car were locked up. The dealer inspected but found nothing wrong with the brakes or wheels. I think it It all seems to be related to the passengers front wheel. I'm thinking, new pads and rotors but then I was thinking maybe the caliper is sticking?

[@bobbymakedonski9190]

its the caliper bad for sure.Unstable

[@jhanlon1903]

if the rotor is warped you get pulsating when applying brakes

[@ivanresendiz6758]

Yea im going through exactly the same issue right now. I hear a grinding noise, and it sounds like something is loose (almost sounds like a little bell) and all the sudden it goes away. My guess is that water breached inside the caliper and caused it to corrode from the inside. I say this cause I replaced my brakes and rotors and noticed that one of the guide pins was not greased and the boot was severely torn. I cleaned it and greased it and the noise continues to come back. My brake pedal does feel spongy

[@AFatherToTheFatherless]

The rotors are warped

[@notyoursmunk9118]

Thx for the tips. What about noise ? Will there be any noise coming from them, if they need to changed ?

[@travisfowler8345]

Noise doesn't come from the caliper it comes from the pad... while noise can be a sign of brake issues it can also just be a funny spot in the pad and things can be fine... I've bought several brake pads that were a little noisy out of the box and typically goes away with use... however if you hear a screech on old pads it's a sign your pads are due for replacement

[@Dahmer_Jeff]

​@travisfowler8345 the noise (often like a squeal) is coming from the caliper which is wiggling. Time to change.

Is it possible to upgrade from a factory 2-piston brake caliper to a 4-piston caliper without making any other changes?

[@casinc.2138]

If it fits onto your vehicle no, such as with aftermarket big brake kits, if you do that tho I would recommend stronger brake hoses

I was stuck in traffic, with my foot on the brake. After releasing it, my car stalled but quickly returned to its normal state. What could cause this?

[@jimb12312]

Stuck brake calipers?

[@prosp15]

When the guide pins get seized up you have to replace the whole caliper? Not just the bracket itself that the pins are stuck on?

[@pujo28]

The guide pins are inside the caliper. One at top and one at bottom. The caliper bracket is what the guide pins screw into to hold the caliper in place. I have been doin my own brakes since the 90’s since no mechanic is gonna clean n lubricate everything the right way since it takes time. At least none around my area. The guide pins need to slide nice n free as do the brake pads need to slide freely in the caliper so they retract when u take your foot off the brake pedal. Pretty cheap to get a new set of pads, rotors n calipers if you’re DIY. If u change the caliper u must bleed the brakes and always use new unopened brake fluid since it absorbs water if stored. Good luck

[@pujo28]

What he means by seized up is not that u can’t unscrew them from the bracket. He means they’re seized up in the caliper itself. U can remove the guide pins and clean them and re lubricate them with silicone lubricant and put them back in. Even after they’re screwed into the bracket and you’re done with the brakes and about to put tire back on, the guide pins should still be lubricated enough so the caliper slides in them. Hope this helps

High miliage cars today have old brake calipers & the hydraulic piston does not retract anymore causing the need for the entire brake caliper part to need to be replaced. Apply the breaks and the piston moves outward, and then take your foot off the break and they retract back into the hydraulic piston chamber, easily.

Pistons aren't meant to retract

[@Vin3Man]

[@Dahmer_Jeff]

​@@Vin3Man 😂 wow swift diag

[@iplayloud2]

Ok but pads will never wear out perfectly even on both sides. The side where the piston pushes is in direct line with the pressure, while the other side is in counter mechanical reaction. My pads last about 4 years on my car, but after less than 1 year, the grease in the guide pins becomes stiff and prevents the caliper from aligning freely, wearing the piston-side pad faster. Why lubing the guide pins yearly and unfreezing the pads is good maintenance.

[@bobbymakedonski9190]

Put silicone grease and no problems for long

I kept hearing the horrible grinding noise, took it to several mechanics, no one knows what's causing the noise. I have replaced every part of the front of my car except the lower arm controls and the cv axle. I even replaced the caliper again because we thought maybe the caliper was faulty, it's still making the same noise and no one knows what to do because everything is brand new and the parts were premium parts so they weren't cheap. You name it, we have tried it and replaced it, even fluids and entirely new suspension system. Nothing has worked and it is only my passenger side that does it and it only does it if I brake slowly as if coming to a stop at a stop sign. My car is less than 10 years old and I have done everything I can to keep up with its maintenance so it is definitely taken care of, we just cannot figure out what is causing the noise. It sounds like grinding, dragging, growling noise and you can feel it too. It is coming from the passenger side but you can feel the vibrations/griding make its way to the driver's side.
