Brakes DELETED still has Grinding Noise! Rusted out 2011 Kia Sorento 2.4 3.6

At some point, the parking brakes were worn or severely rusted, this was causing some grinding noises. The parking brake hardware was removed by another mechanic in order stop the noise. Howere, after deleting the brakes, there was still a noise caused by used or worn out wheel bearings. We are going to tear down the rear hubs and backing plates to replace the whole assemblies on a Kia Sorento.

This is my car. The e-brakes were sacrificed earlier this year in NJ when the new rear calipers were put on. At that point, we knew we were escaping NJ and would look at either getting rid of the car or fixing it once we got down here. With Ray's help and advice, I decided to go ahead on repairs (there's more work to go on it and those parts are being walked over from Korea, apparently). It's all good, because I don't need the car right away, and I know Ray is going to do an awesome job with it. And since he didn't tell us... there's about 153k miles on it. And I experienced the worst sphincter pucker ever when he said "This is going well".

[@gregoryking9348]

Escaping Joisey, or any NE state up to the NH border (even NH lately is falling to lunacy) is a wise move. Bonus?...no more shoveling snow. 🤘 In no time at all you'll know everything about wet n dry vac's and AC systems. 🤪

@@clbcl5 I've been a fan of Ray's since back when he was in the old shop doing the doodly doos. When we moved down here, we're close enough to Bradenton (about an hour away) that I chose to have Ray look at it because I know he's a great mechanic because of his channel, rather than take my chances with an unknown shop.

[@Leon-qc7fe]

Ray, you are 100% correct about showing someone the way to do something the right way. That is how people learn. Not by trial and error. This was my lesson to a flight instructor. He had me learning crosswind landings. One after another I did not get it. He said keep doing it, you will. Then I said "you do one. I want to see how you do it" I watched and I got it the 1st time after that. You can not let someone keep struggling to get it right when one demonstration gets it done.

[@spaceflight1019]

At the last place I worked at before I retired, there were more than a few maintenance people who regarded any advice as "band camp stories". Arguing with someone about how to work on a device that can kill you is as foolhardy as arguing with a flight instructor, but I encountered it many times in my 43 years.

[@billhennie]

The flight instructor gave you a valuable lesson. You learned how not to do crosswind landings before you learned how to do them by that instructor. Learning by failure first leads to more successful proper learning.

[@Leon-qc7fe]

Is that how a surgeon learns?@@billhennie

[@stefanbuscaylet]

@@Leon-qc7feit was the comment a surgeon friend of mine told me. Surgeon’s have a big checklist of surgeries with three tasks: 1)watch. 2)do. 3)teach. I use the same approach for teaching intern and junior engineers and also used with my kids when they were learning how to write 20 page papers in early highschool. Far too much of technique is taught via tribal knowledge. The step of teaching is surprisingly important to solidify the knowledge.

[@billybarnes9208]

Always nice when a rusty vehicle from the north Goes smooth on disassembly when bolts are rusty but they come out smooth makes you smile and makes the day better 13:00 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

[@ShevieMine]

The "showing" teaching technique is far more efficient for the initial learning experience than telling someone how to do something and letting them stumble through themselves. Often, there are multiple paths to the same outcome, the choice of which to use being dependent upon a multitude of variables. I the case of the bolt, the first-choice options didn't work, necessitating further evaluation. Learning to navigate those choices are also part of the learning process, so him observing you going through them served him much better than the trial and error process he'd have had to go through without your help. That's why we have apprentices in the first place. Otherwise, they'd be just grunt helpers.

[@emmettturner9452]

“No one ever hit that lever during an emergency” Speak for yourself, Ray! I certainly have. Made it home safe too.

[@johnr423]

Me too ! Lost brakes on an old Ford LTD going down a 4% grade. Scared the shit out of me. Engaged the emergency brake and actually brought me to stop eventually. So yes, it can save your life

[@Sumppen]

I’ll 3rd that. My brake line ruptured and I lost brakes. Also the ”real” reason they are called emergency brakes is because when hydraulic brakes were introduced, people didn’t trust them and car manufacturers had to add a backup, mechanical brake to ensure people

[@Tony22715]

I was looking for this comment. I've heard of people using the parking/emergency brakes when the regular brake system failed.

[@danielcox5450]

Yep, blew a line in morning traffic once and you can bet I was threshold braking with the ole handbrake to slow down

[@1971kona]

But unfortunately, thanks to the new electronic parking brake, there is no way to do that anymore.

[@chrissmithz314]

19:45 Pretty sweet that comes as an assembly, the backing plates with the parking brake hardware all pre-installed. Edit: It was ghetto AF that the parking brake was missing in the first place, did the right thing insisting they get installed.

[@joshuakunze8319]

Just did the front wheel bearing (and front brakes, engine oil, serpentine belt) on my salt belt 2010 Subaru Outback today. It did NOT want to come out of the steering knuckle. The cotter pins for the lower ball joint and tie rod end were completely rotted away and had to be drilled out to install new pins during re-assembly. The brake slider pins were all seized up also. Got to love the road salt.

[@vincentsadan1938]

At least Troy remembered to put the two Philips screws in to hold the disc on. Well done, Troy.

[@heckelphon]

Actually only one of them. I reckon the other one and both on Ray's side were already missing. Now would you have put the drum on to align with the blank screw holes if you haven't got any screws to hand? Or would you put it 72deg out to mask them off as Ray did?

[@Heinrich_STG44]

I look at it like this. Yes Troy should learn on his own BUT it's like the old adage Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day TEACH a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Troy now knows how to remove a broken stud the proper way. When I was learning how to lay brick we had jobs where you had to lay brick with a level (building a brick lead, very difficult for a beginner.) So I got some extra brick and some mortar from a job site we were working on, took them home and practiced laying with e level. To this day I can still lay a perfectly plumb and level lead. So work ethic plays a huge role in learning.

[@alvinhyman6838]

Troy is fortunate to be able to learn from one of the best ! Always good to make sure that vehicle is working properly with the required equipment!

[@justpray365]

This repair went too smoothly. The repair gremlins are angry and will make up for this in a future repair.

[@csgergo80]

Well, the Rubasu is still at the shop, so there is time for more stripped out boltholes.

[@IR-nq4qv]

I totally agree with Ray and give him credit where due. When it comes to total hands-on physical work, being shown how to do something is 90% of it. Troy now knows there are several different options he can apply when it comes to running into repair situations outside of the norm. I've seen lots of comments from viewers, thanking Ray for showing / educating them on how to do certain repairs. It would be funny if Ray said to the viewers, "I'm going to edit out the repair part because I want you to figure it out for yourself.

[@shiretransportation5547]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Invisibleman7]

[@MickayG]

I agree... but I also think that bolt/stud extraction was kind of a (very) basic job. I can't imagine Troy never had to drill out a bolt or use a pneumatic hammer to force it out... but meanwhile is doing engine and brake work.

[@patrickpattberg8551]

Ray also has the hydraulic press: is there any reason not to use it instead ?

[@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA]

not always the case, theres a good chance every issue he faced was rather easy. I fix cars and it took me atlest a year before i encountered a stuck or broken bolt that didnt come out with a little hammer action. As a newbie at that time I was not fullt aware of the other methods like drilling them out etc, or welding bolts to the broken stud and backing it out, and if i was I WAS A NEWBIE!!! you think a new guy is going to start hacking on exspensive parts of somebody elses car? no fucking way. so when an experienced guy or the owner can just come show you the thing because telling you doesnt get the entire point across seeing it in action does, and that makes it easier to deal with that the next time it happens@@MickayG

The Emergency Brake/E-Brake/Parking Brake can be used in a situation where the Brake Pedal goes all the way to the floor. The E-Brake can then be used in the event of an “Emergency”. I’ve experienced this before, years ago. It’s a one time thing, but very handy.

[@KevindeRegnier]

Another reason to do it for Troy is that time is money. You could let him spend an hour of shop time doing it himself or take 10 min of your time, do it and you can both get back to work.

[@mattbrown5511]

My father pounded it through my thick skull that it is a "Parking Brake", not an emergency brake. I remember being around 10-11 years old the first time he got on me about it as I moved his truck around his small hay and alfalfa farm. It annoys me when people call it an emergency brake. As long as Troy was standing there watching and learning, I see no issue with you doing the work to show him how it is done, as long as he learns. Have a wonderful day, Ray.

[@MrSloika]

First, for a Jersey car that didn't have much rust. I'm guessing it belongs to an elderly retired person who doesn't go out when it's snowing or spends most of the winter in Florida. Second, it's really obvious that someone had that all apart recently.

[@landonashby2029]

Coming from a Northern state I'd like to know how this passed or was expected to pass annual state inspection with no parking brakes.

[@johnnodge4327]

In the UK, that definitely wouldn't pass the compulsory annual inspection (MOT). If a traffic cop was to pull the driver over and found the brakes disabled (they do check for stuff like that here) they could have a prohibition order placed on the vehicle, meaning it couldn't be driven again until it was repaired and inspected at an MOT garage. All vehicles across the EU including Britain must have 2 independent ways to slow the vehicle, which is why all cars have 2 different types of brake operating systems.

Parking brake deletes aren’t uncommon up here in Wisconsin. My car’s been without them for about a decade now. Rust causes them not to release fully, then they fall apart and bind up while driving (ask me how I know lol). My car’s got 20 years of road salt exposure and makes this one look like it’s almost brand new in comparison. Haha if only I had the time to bring it down to Florida for new rear control arms. Don’t worry I won’t 😂

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

In regards to setting the parking brake, I have had a few cars where you could adjust the brake by the access of a circle hole on the disk, this has been a great help in the adjustment of parking brake.

[@donwest5387]

that adjustment is normally to adjust for all brake shoe wear, including parking brake

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

When we saw Troy's side I think we saw the adjustment hole on the conical part of the brake disk/drum. So adjustment of the brake shoes do look like it's possible without removing the brake calipers and pulling the disk/drum.

[@donwest5387]

normally the holes are a slot with rounded ends. Quite often they have rubber plugs in them@@blahorgaslisk7763

[@crashputer]

Those bearings are a whole lot easier than my 2010 Subaru. While they're not press-in, the rust had frozen the bearings in place to the point that I had to remove the entire control assembly and use a press to free it. I don't know (probably not) if anti-seize was used at the factory, but it definitely got a healthy dose during reassembly.

[@Random-ed2xf]

We both know they didn't use any.😂I did sway bar links on my RAV4 and definitely not. Involved removing the boot, penatrant,vice grips and a torch. The back of it was nearly impossible to get a bite with the vice grips yet the part you use a Allen wrench rounded off like butter.

[@SeanBZA]

Broke a vice getting one out, and then went and grabbed the arc welder to shrink the outer race, and the grinder to cut the inner race. MB B class. Was glad to see that one go to the sales floor, nice car, but expensive to keep in good order.

[@joshuakunze8319]

A whole lot of impact gun will get them out, but will take a while. There is also a special tool you can bolt to the bearing assembly that makes it easy to hammer the bearing off and out of the rest of the assembly. Works really well for salt belt cars.

[@ronwhitmill7068]

In the UK what you call an "E Brake" we call a Hand-Brake and yes, it is used in rare instances where additional braking control is required or during "stunt" manouvers known as "handbrake turns" . Also, as far as I am aware, we also refer to an Electronic Brake as an "E-Brake".

[@GTVAlfaMan]

Here in the United States we call it a parking brake. Yes we know it also can be used in an emergency should you have a total brake failure. Most modern cars have an electrically actuated parking brake, with no brake handle to pull up, so this type is known as an “e-brake”. I know all about doing stunts and J-turns, I have owned Alfa Romeos, Fiats, Triumph and spun them around many times.

An addage from medical school surgery rotations is "See one, do one, teach one". Equally applies to a LOT of other life experiences including automobile surgery. Well done!

[@abitoffcenter383]

I live how Ray's tone changed the moment he realized the entire parking brake assembly was gone. I'd be a bit pissed myself, for a bunch of reasons.

[@tonywilliams9026]

Ray,ray,ray....nothing wrong with showing Troy a better way to tackle a tough situation...been turning wrenches since I was nine and am not afraid to admit that I don't know everything and always appreciate learning a better way to do something...that side eye from Troy cracked me up...really enjoy the videos...glad the shop is doing well...much love to all of you from your buddy in rusty Ohio😊😊😊😊😊

I used to do auto mechanical work back in the 1960s and a little into the 1970s. I like how you guys have so much better tools nowadays.

[@rolandbraithwaite1027]

Funny old world I was talking to my son about his new job and he said he learns better and things stick if he see's it done

[@paulfairbrass4424]

When i first started in engineering, the only way i found to learn is by watching someone and constantly asking questions. And if it's your shop and your teaching someone, you'll expect them to be as professional about their approach as you are.

[@chrishouse5753]

Wow, I've seen loads of e-brake cables cut as a "brake delete" but to remove all the brake hardware? That's a new one for me.

[@jimdavis6833]

Ray, no matter what you do, you will never please everybody. The internet is full of trolls with nothing better to do than criticize others.

[@satansenemy_]

110% agree. Stop the ebrake conversation. I drive a 5 speed civic and only use the "ebrake" to park, and slide around on the dirt roads.

[@jimparr01Utube]

Troy is finding his mojo at his own pace. All good in the Rainman workshop.

[@Drekulviin]

19:40 hahaha Troy looked like a boy happy with a new toy in his hands. 😂

[@Jay.Kellett]

Troy, now knows how to escalate from hammer, to air hammer, to drill, and then back to air hammer! 😠 Everything, with sufficient mass, is a hammer. Clouds do not make good hammers. Every lug nut I ever taken off was at least 150 foot-pounds tight. One was so tight I was holding onto the back fender while I jumped up and down on the lug wrench. The single mom I was changing the flat for was astonished. I told her sometimes they don't like to come off, but that I like the challenge. I put her two kids to work helping me, and then complemented them for changing the flat. They went from crying because the flat prevented them from going to the beach, to proud they helped their mom! 🤗

[@bobmazzi7435]

I know the last time I found two women with a flat tire I offered to just change it, OR, show them how it was done, OR, Have them do it with me as muscle and teacher. It wound up about half way between the last two options as it was on the side of the Interstate. One thing I like about some of the European countries is that to get a DL you have to demonstrate some basic auto repairs. And, basic First Aid skills. Here, you are lucky if the driving side is taught well.

30th! GOOD HUMPDAY RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! And happy HUMPDAY to the two new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

[@TribbleBot]

These types of videos always make me glad I live in the desert

[@mercer982]

Troy seems like a really nice chap. You're lucky to have him

[@twilightthepony]

The new Mad Max isn't Mad Max, but it's a Sad Max. There's a fine distinction between the two :D

[@byrondaniel4410]

If every young mechanic had good and honest mentor we could have trust having things worked on

[@Laugh1ngboy]

The number of drill bits I've broken off and the extractors I've had to re-drill out has taught me to let people help me as often as possible. If hey know an easier way or just how to escalate the violence like AvE. it is always appreciated.

[@PRO4XKEV]

It should be Mandatory to check engine oil level for every vehicle in your shop for the customer, you just may save a engine due to low oil level.

[@johnmckee7937]

You are right, may I add tires. Cars now check tire pressure but not tire condition.

[@squiggyg.8415]

23:45 the next minute is pure cinematic treasure lol😂
