The owner was looking over my shoulder and voiced a little concern about the lack of lube on the hardware and not using the tube of lube that came with the pads. I explained the logic and ended it by saying If Eric can do it I can do it! He grinned and I gave him the unopened packet of lube.

Seriously loving the slightly passive aggressive attitude. Bout time you pushed back on all the know it all weekend wrenchers. Been turning wrenches for over just over 14 years and not once have I ever opened a rusty crusty bleeder screw to push pistons back in, or ever greased hardware on the pad side. Go to any dealership you can think of and look at the brakes on a brand new car. You wont find grease on the hardware on any of them. It's for good reason. What do you think happens to that grease once all the brake dust gets stuck to it? Answer is that it causes the pads to seize. Simple, yet excellent video Eric.

Because Eric O has been mentioning the comments he receives about opening the bleeder I decided to check myself. I have the factory manual for my F150, my Hyundai Elantra, and my old 1994 Ford Ranger along with Chilton and Haynes manuals for several other vehicles and none of them ever mention opening the bleeder before pushing the pistons back in. I even remember from shop class (back in the old days) that all you have to do is push the piston back-just make sure you have enough room in the master cylinder. So unless a manufacturer specifically states that you have to open the bleeder I'm with Eric on this one!

As an ASE certified master tech with a degree in automotive technology, 15 years of experience and hundreds if not thousands of brake jobs under my belt, I don't open the brake bleeders to push back the pistons. I've never had an issue with ABS units or anything after pushing the pistons back into the caliper, and as you said, that is how most (if not all, Mercedes with their SBC brake system may be the only exception) say to do it. If you have physical junk and debris in the brake system, that is a big problem in and of itself. Don't let the arm chair mechanics in the KZbin peanut gallery tell you otherwise.

I've been doing my own brakes for decades and never, never opened the bleeder valve when pressing in the piston or pistons. Never had an issue. Then one time I was reading how to change brake pads on one of my new cars and the guy wrote to absolutely open the bleeder when pressing in the piston or you could damage the abs. That set me back. I thought about it and figured the brake fluid should be pretty much the same close to that wheel. So I continued doing it my way and still haven't had a problem. Some people just think their way is the best and can't stand it when others do it another. Good job Eric.
@Cheepchipsable4 жыл бұрын
That might be a good topic for research. Maybe on a modern car you can damage a sensor? I've always loosened the brake fluid reservoir cap first, then push the pistons back slowly, that is to say, I don't force them back. On some Mercedes if you just take the brake fluid reservoir cap off it will set of a warning light on the dash and disable ABS. The warning does go away after a while.

Just finish installing an upgraded brand new brake rotor and ceramic pads for the front of my 2018 Chevrolet Traverse today. My stock rotor just aren’t cutting it when I want to stop suddenly or going downhill slope. I tell you, when those rotor gets hot, the brakes are scary as they just don’t slow down fast enough to avoid front collision. So I made the decision to upgrade the front to a slotted and ceramic pads. The improvement is huge, as for durability, only time will tell. The new rotor and pads was on sale so I grab it while the price is too great to pass up on. Regular price was for $699. Got it it for $275 something dollar

Just to amplify Eric's comments about car makers pushing in pistons without bleeding - from a Honda Odyssey service manual (Honda not Haynes etc), Step 1: Remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder. (Skip steps 2-10) Step 11: Install the brake caliper piston compressor tool on the caliper. Step 12: Press in the piston with the brake caliper compressor tool so the caliper will fit over the brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down. NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston; brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any painted surface, wash it off immediately with water. No brake bleeding mentioned.

I had a vehicle one time that I took to a garage for front brakes (was young at the time and didn't know how to do it) and when it was done, I picked it up and was driving home. Approaching a stop sign, I hit the brakes and nothing. The brakes didn't work. I started pumping the pedal and suddenly the right side grabbed and swung the vehicle to the right heading for a tree. I let of the brakes and cut the wheel to the left and hit the brakes and drove right over the stop sign. I hadn't tested the brakes until then as it was a stick shift and didn't need the brakes until that point. The stop sign was flat to the ground and I got out and grabbed the sign and bent it back up straight, got back in my vehicle and took off. Only had a tiny dent in the front edge of the hood. Learned my lesson that day.

The sound effects are back! Big Nasty makes an appearance! Brooksy and the Smoke Wrench made cameos over the weekend! All is now right with the universe! In over 40 years of working on vehicles of all kinds, I've NEVER cracked a bleeder to retract caliper pistons. The only time I do is if the system needs to be bled. I live in the rust belt too and, 99 times out of 100, if you try to open a bleeder that's more than a few years old, you either round it off or break it off. Neither of those is any fun! Also, when I replace a caliper, I always remove the bleeders and smear anti-sieze on the threads.
