@@hollywoodtravels9492 Its probably warped front rotors. Since the majority of your braking is on the front, that is where youll get the most feedback. Check your front braking components and see if anything looks odd. If you find something then go ahead an replace the pads and rotors.

Warped Discs. As you said you replaced the back must be the front.. as explained approx 80% of braking happens at the front brakes.. don’t go back to that particular garage.. they sound very very shifty.. You want to make sure you have no play in your wheels, jack your car up rock up and down and side to side.. if you hear any tapping or clunking or have free movement you have another problem and your tyres air pressures must be correct..

Just a little tip for all you guys out there. Make sure to push onto the brake pedal half way with a wooden block or something, so the valves in the ABS module close. Otherwise if it's taking you too long to change the caliper, the ABS module might lose some brake fluid and it can be a HUGE pain to get air bubbles out of there

Use a piece of wood or pvc pipe or something that you put one end against the brake pedal the other end against the front of the seat. Push the brake pedal down and adjust your seat to keep pressure on the brake pedal. With power seats you use the seat to push the pedal down. I am told that this also makes the brake fluid NOT leak out too fast when you’re taking the brake line off the old calliper and onto the new one??? Not sure how that happens or why but several other mechanics swear by this.

Hey Chris you always do a great job with great explanations. One item you might should have mentioned was to bend down the "metail brake slides for the pads" so they don't move around. You'll notice the little tabs on the outside of them. This keeps them from vibrating into the brake disc and squalling like a crazy banshee! Appreciate all your videos, keep up the good work!

Couple tips: after you refill your master cylinder, go and slowly pump your brakes a few times to run the caliper piston out so the pads are engaged with the rotor. THEN, go check your fluid level in the master cyl again. Moving the caliper piston out creates more volume in the caliper so more fluid volume is in there, so check the fluid level again. Also: i just ran into this not long ago but never had seen it before. I changed the rear calipers and brake hoses on my pickup and couldn't get one of the banjo fittings on hose to caliper to stop leaking. Removed the banjo bolt and found that the where the banjo fitting on the end of the hose mounted to the caliper, the caliper did not have a machined surface for the hose to seal to (copper washers in there too of course). The machined surface that's supposed to be there is called a "spot face" and my Rebuilt caliper I got from NAPA had no spotface, it was as cast surface. There was no way any brake hose was not going to leak. Of course NAPA made it right but what I don't get is how it could have been a "rebuilt" caliper, it never could have worked. Anyway, heads up, check for the spot face there before you leave the store. Check for it on the hose end too. Don't over torque the hollow Banjo bolt either, they will brake if you get too aggressive.

@@brandonminear9400 Replacing as a matched-pair is more about grip-functionality. If one side grabs the rotor more firmly/more loosely than the other, you'll have: steering issues while braking (especially while hard-braking), uneven tire-wear, uneven pad + rotor wear, etcetera. The same thing applies to using unmatched rotors, especially if the material varies significantly in temper and composition.

but yep, if all the people who watch this have a unsealed 32oz bottle of brake fluid, they can do this $230.00 job & bleed all 4 brake lines in the specific sequence for just $36.00. and mechanics charge $230.00 per caliper too, and i think they only bleed the line that goes to the caliper that you needed to have replaced, not all 4. so yeah, not only can you can do a better job, and flush all the old fluid outta all 4 of you're brake lines with nice synthetic fluid, but you can also do it for $36.00 versus the $230.00 a mechanic will charge you. keep in mind, that the mechanic probably ain't using synthetic fluid, nor is he flushing old fluid outta any of the lines but the one he,s working on. this is why i love doing jobs like this, at home. thanks for making this video. it walked me through each step perfectly, and it saved me a lot of money as well.

Your videos are the best. This one helped me in changing out my calipers and brake pads on my 1979 truck C10 Silverado. I could have had my very excellent mechanic do it but he knows my truck is a show truck and does not get driven much and so he takes his time. With me doing it I had it done in half a day. Thanks, very much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you need to bleed out all of the calipers. in fact, theres a specific order to bleed out the calipers. 1st caliper should be the furthest caliper away from the brake fluid tank in the hood (rear passenger side) and so and so forth.
