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

[@Torgonius]

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".

[@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.

Troy has changed so much since he started with you, not camera shy now, confident in his own ability to see a job through, can take a joke and give it back, mainly down to your ability to teach in a friendly way and make him not feel useless when he has to ask and accept advice, He is a good asset to your business well done, when I first started here in UK in the 70s we were thrown in at the deep end and just got so much stick for when something was wrong, we were made to feel useless.

[@tiddybearkush]

Who is Troy. Ive missed the past months right before ray finished the new lift spot in the shop

[@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.

[@davdsonoftheeagerbeaver8619]

It's OK watching you and Troy fix things together. The bantering is fine if it's respectful.

[@pollisoong]

yeah if Troy would been alone, and a bolt or stud be that stuck maybe harder to solve. :)

[@imagseer]

Ray got just about the right balance in this one. Teamwork is a good way to share skills.

[@philipershler420]

The description of a surgical procedure is “Watch one, Do one”, Teach one”. I think Ray’s involvement was perfect. It was more like, “Teach an individual to fish…”.

Besides Ray teaching Troy, Ray also taught his KZbin viewers how to do it.

[@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.

[@jeremyr6576]

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]

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

I was attending Philco-Ford Tech at the time and was able to replace the master cylinder during the day so that I could drive home from from Philly to Flemington, NJ.

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.

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.

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

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@MacRODesign55]

I totally agree with the "show them once" method for making Troy an awesome mechanic like you. However, I was unsure about the refitting of the drum/disc in that you didn't show us the rust removal from the drum face for parking brake (i agree - is not an emergency brake).

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".

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.

As a 30yr employee of a a car manufacturer, retired, all I can say is the only way to learn is to watch somebody do it and have them train instead of just telling you how to do it, back in my day they had actual Vo-Tech school that taught u in High school..

[@mattsanguinetti812]

You don't have to explain why you helped Troy. You're a leader by showing him. A boss would have yelled at him and asked why he wasn't done yet. A leader is right there with the person step by step. Esecially when it' a learning experience. Good for you.

I like it when engineers design so cars are easy to work on like the one.

I’m from the north also, i see all the rust all the time . The whole time you were working on the vehicle I would bet any money that e brake cable (parking brake cable) would be frozen. I think that was amazing it wasn’t. Thank goodness for you, you deserve a break . Love it when the customer sees your videos 😊

Hey Ray... if I lose break peddle, you bet your life I'm going to be using the E-Brake! For all the followers, you should use your E-Brake weekly to prevent them from seizing.

You did a spectacular repair on this Kia. A dealer could not have done better. Well done Sir!

[@TairnKA]

It's nice when you have a job that has no additional issues and/or difficulties (broken hub/rotor, bolts, studs, etc... or slow part deliveries). ;-)

[@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.

I taught Air Force Service personel and you hit it right on the head. Most folks learn by observing what needs to be done. Much better way to teach as retention is good and technique can alway be improved.

[@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?

I had an older crown vic that I set the parking brake on. I had to jack up the car on the side of the road and release both sides with a long screwdriver. While my family watched. I cringed when Ray set the brake.
