Fix Brake Squeak Cheap

[@PilotPlater]

I've seen brake videos before, but this one actually taught me so much. I feel like I actually understand what's going on instead of following a how-to now.

[@briansmobile1]

+Andy Plater MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Thanks Andy!

[@cindygeel7814]

Agree, even for a woman. It all made sense. Thanks

[@NN13K0]

I have to strongly agree! Amazing work on the video and relaying the information! I will highly recommend others watch it!

[@PilotPlater]

@@cindygeel7814 right on cindy, done that brake job? 😁

[@hectorjones5989]

OUTSTANDING video!!!… No fluff, no crap, just straight up honest information. Good job, thank you for your brevity and knowledge. Take care, stay well. Can’t wait to see your next video…

[@andrewwang3905]

Great info. Simple enough and was able to finally fix my brake squeal. Like how detailed it was. Videos like this never gets old.

[@EndlessDelusion]

Thanks Brian. I've never felt comfortable working on my cars but you have a super calming voice that makes it sound like everything's going to be ok lol

[@DinasGarage]

Honda's are notorious for this Brian! Great video and info! I've always replaced the hardware with brake work to avoid comebacks! Glad you made this and informed people! 👍🏽

[@paulie0706]

Funny you say this... My sister's got a 2017 Honda Pilot. She got the brake pads and rotors replaced a couple months ago and she gets a lot of squeak at random times.

[@haywardsautomotive6156]

It's the little details on brake jobs that make them last and not make noise. Nice tips & video!

[@bennelson8105]

Thank you! Most break related videos do not address issues like this. I bought a 2007 Subaru forester that had its full 100 thousand mile service done and I got excited by the amount of work that was done to it before purchasing it. however, I noticed the dealer skimped in other areas after I purchased it. Your videos make it easier and much.. much cheaper to fix any issues my self.

[@wyattoneable]

Your one of the top channels Brian! Your very good at explaining yourself and explaining procedures and steps needed to have a solid outcome.

[@seeya205]

Great video Brian! Very detailed. This brake hardware company must pay well. Everyone is making one of these videos. People do need to worry about the details. I do my own because most mechanics just replace the pads and send you on your way.

[@TodaysTask]

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 that is doing the came thing, I have replaced rotors brakes and still have the sound. I ground the rear rotors and still hear it. Watched this simple video and realized the real problem..... So mad I didn't find it sooner. Thank you for the help

[@nd318865]

Brakes relined without hardware kits: one of those lessons I learned some time ago, later in life than I care to admit however. Thanks again Brian.

[@Dave-mf5fv]

Good advice I'll be checking out the Jeep brakes this weekend after the u joint replacement

[@dans.3659]

WOW- Brian, YOU by far- are the most informative mechanic with videos on "how to" and more importantly WHY- certain things are the way they are. Just by watching this.... I have gained so much more info as to how and why. Great Job ! ! Its because people (now-a-days) dont have a great deal of trust in mechanics because of all the 'Sheisters' out there that want to charge you an arm and a leg for really simple stuff to fix.....i think- that makes people leary of believing the mechanics when they take their cars in to be fixed. And also to just watch and learn what should be done - and when- THANK YOU- THANK YOU- THANK YOU, for this top quality very sharply videoed and informative video.

[@Zcypot]

So it's not my performance pads making the noise it's that little part! Garth! I'll need to check them out now. Thanks for the video!

[@Fellafoe69]

+Zcypot Performance pads can also make noise, But that is normal.

[@lunarstarbright8089]

+Zcypot a lot of performance pads will squeak till they warm up. mine do until after a few hard stops.

[@wysetech2000]

Very well done video, Brian. It seems like brake service done by professionals like yourself all have different ideas about brakes. Myself I clean the caliper bracket well and apply brake lube to the bracket before installing the clips. It helps to stop rust build up behind the clips that contributes to "pinching" the pads. It seems that the more salt and crap that is used on the roads the more that problem exists. When servicing brake pads I clean the build up from the groove in the pad also. That stuff is as hard as a rock and can cause squealing brakes as well.

[@yisroelweiss6973]

All I can say is one Big WOW thank God I found your video so clear & detailed !!! Thank you so much

[@richardkoon5544]

I just bought a 2008 HHR. I let off the brake and the steering wheel jiggles. I'm checking the front brakes tomorrow. With all of your knowledge, I'm confident on this repair. Thank You.

[@michaelskube8061]

Great video! I always get the brake hardware, for about $10 I cant believe people dont replace it!

[@swankydog]

One of the best brake instructional videos out there!

[@Krankie_V]

You should put brake lube under the clips as well to prevent rust between the caliper bracket and the clip. It's a huge problem in upstate NY, and it pinches the hardware around the brake pad keeping it from sliding properly.

[@hardydeutsch6729]

Präzise, tiefgründige Analyse altbekannter Probleme, kurz und verständlich erklärt. Perfekte Arbeit, I like your presentation in this high quality.

[@briansmobile1]

Mit einem Kompliment wie dem von jemandem, der Deutsch spricht, fühle ich mich gut. Vielen Dank

[@Turbotomass]

very interesting. Funny how you can work on cars for years doing things wrong and get away with it. I've reused hardware lots of times, granted I've cleaned them with a wire brush first, but never checked there condition and ability to slide and play. I'll definitely be checking this from now on.

[@wesleysriffle]

My wife’s Tahoe has been squeaking horribly loud. I checked all 4 sets of disc brakes and they were all good. This video helped tremendously

[@multibucker]

This is the best brake video I've ever seen, wow, thank you for the valuable education! 👍

[@briancosta1541]

Thanks for making this video I had a terrible squeak with my ram, last person to do the brakes didn't put any lube on there and 4 out of the 8 pads were seized in place, I followed your instructions and it's super quiet now and better braking

[@psdaengr911]

Clean and shiny works better than dirty and crusty. Replacing abutment clips is one way to get squeal- free brakes, cleaning them and the frame is another. For a professional mechanic replacement makes more sense. Being a diyer with more time than money, I prefer cleaning and polishing parts rather than throwing them away. Simply removing and cleaning the parts annually will extend pad life and eliminate noise. Using an antiseize metallic compound on the frame under the clips reduces the formation of iron rust scale that turns a loose fit into a tight one. Putting a tiny dab on the pad ends/ears where they rub on the clips also helps. What is just as important is checking the guide pin boots for swelling and using the correct lube on them. A binding pin can pull the pads out of square contact and prevent them from being pushed clear when released. That generates a lost or brake dust, contaminates the abutment guides and aggravates squealing.

[@waynes.2983]

so I'm not the only one who prefers to spend time instead of money. Smart man you are.

[@fks-pv8il]

Great video as always. I love the way you help improve the quality of the repair for example the coating on the pad clips and the correct type of grease for the pins. Keep up the great work.

[@mcleanmartel]

Great work. I appreciate this video and need to shout out...since I saw this I've done 3 different cars brakes including one of my own and people have been pleased with the little extra attention to detail.

[@paule2658]

After watching your video and SMA video about brake hardware and proper lubrication on the slide pins and bracket I've had zero issues on both my car and my fiance's! Thanks for the helpful video!

[@fargley001]

Just took my 08 CTD through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada mountains - got back this evening. I was pulling an 8000lb travel trailer, and was eating those mountains alive. The exhaust brake on the descents and torque on the ascents made it the perfect mountain machine. I notice that you got some nasty dust there though. Colorado can turn all surfaces into sandpaper, but UT seems to have a finer dust. I heart Beaver! Beaver, UT :)

[@Tony-jv5pr]

My brakes squeaks and after watching your video. I feel strong about fixing my squeaky brakes. Thanks!

[@garychen483]

I changed my brake pads two days ago but it’s still making noise and I can tell the noise comes from the rotor making contact with something and is not a metal to metal kinda noise. I have no idea what that noise could possibly be until I watched this video. Thank you so much for education !! Great video !!!

[@tiberiuskirk739]

Currently being driven insane by this problem. Thanks for the tips

[@stanweiler4344]

Thanks Brian, did not know that. In the future I will be sure to change out the hardware every time I do a brake job. My daughter has an 02 PT Cruiser and she was complaining that the front brakes are squeeling. Cpuld be just the hardware, I will check that out first. Thanks again, very helpful..

[@brentsumner6548]

Thank you Brian for another excellent clip, the points you have made in this clip are so important in braking safety of any vehicle. The other important point is doing the job right the first time!! keep the good work.

[@emiliohuerta2658]

Thank you so much very informative, I've been doing my breaks since I was 19 or so, started seen these clips on my newer vehicles and just learning about this at 49 yrs old. Thank you God bless you.

[@Trades46]

My father's SUV is at ~107,000miles and got a full brake job a month ago with new pads/rotors front & rear. Granted they weren't the best quality but I'm not sure if the mechanic replaced the hardware; the car squeals loudly at parking lot & slow speeds but disappears as speeds increase. I think this might be the problem, so when the weather gets better (lots of snow & slush out there) it might worth checking out. Thank-you.

[@joelmccoin9727]

Hello Brian, Excellent Video! I have watched at least 5 videos on this, but only you and one other really explained it, and made it Clear(both from what I would call"Great Tech's) Thank You!, Hope all is going well for your Family, Your Daughter is in my prayers.

[@guitarmancanplay7934]

Best, detailed how to video on the subject. Great job!

[@mikeav5064]

Awesome job of breaking it down.

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

2 in depth brake hardware vids from my two favorite creators in a few days World must be ending.

[@briansmobile1]

+Jason Curry Just checked, I bet he was approached too. I've been working on this one since January. I probably over did it, but I'm really proud of how mine turned out.

[@whoodiestyle]

I watch all of the videos. but brian you definitely go into depth to a give a excellent explanation.

[@mosesdog2]

+briansmobile1 Approached by who? The world needs to know. There have been 5 videos about the same exact thing.

[@deltasworder1x]

Thank you. My 2010 altima had new pads and rotors installed. Still made noise at slow speeds. I'm going to have the shop go over the hardware thoroughly.

[@knight32d]

👍👍 Great video Sir! You were so genuine in the way you explained everything & by gally I've never been so attentive to any YT video. Keep up the good work.

[@ziggassedup]

100% with ya on the better branded pad kits...I have lots of customers that just want a pad slap and then after explaining why there is noise they get all grumpy...Even if they have been warned.."My brakes didn't squeal until you put new pads in"..Yep is what I say...

[@tomek9966]

Thats why I like YT. Great video - cheers from N. Ireland!

[@waynes.2983]

my daughters car had a bad clunking noise going over bumps. The local Les Schwab A holes tried to tell her she needed new struts at a cost of over $700. Luckily she called me first. When I took a look it turned out that the caliper pins just needed to be lubed. Five cents worth of brake grease and a little time is better than being robbed by crooked mechanics.

[@sjones2ca]

Les Schwab is a ripoff..

[@SellTheBenefits]

same with Brake Max don’t get me started

[@jeffreyphillips9738]

Man thank u guys for all your help making anther person life a little easier when times are rough

[@vuelco1]

[@heyitschinoable]

To raise awarness we will declare this month "OFFICIAL BRAKE HARDWARE MONTH" worldwide, following co founders are Skotty Kilmer, ETCG, Brian, and South Main Auto lol

[@seeya205]

+heyitschinoable They are being sponsored by the brake hardware company.

[@ManicMechanic007]

Another top drawer presentation. Knowledge is power. Thanks Brian.

[@lesliewoodcock5880]

Thank you. Attention to detail and do it right the first time.

[@erichulliberger9303]

Thanks for the in-depth video...even though I do my own brakes, I've always just cleaned up the clips and other hardware with a brush or light sandpaper, then lubed the hardware (and the slide pins). I get a little more surety out of my brake jobs that way knowing all is moving smooth, but I'm going to have to do my rear discs in the spring (what do I need brakes for in the snow and ice???) and will definitely buy a hardware kit. Only cruddy part about my rear discs is the parking brake is hooked up to the caliper, so will need a special tool for turnning back the caliper piston. Heard its kind of a pain.

[@azizdallaly6685]

Excellent tips, calm and down to earth instructions and guy.

[@Don.Challenger]

I don't recall seeing a dog on your channel for quite some time. Your productions are very good nearly every time. Thanks. Maybe a video on other part assemblies where the attendant hardware is important. I know you have mentioned for the dashboard and instrument cluster that the state of the retaining clips can cause noise issues - rattles and squeaks.

[@erichulliberger9303]

Speaking of the dash and instrument cluster, I have been trying to locate a rattling noise that's rather rpm dependent that's been driving me nuts...the dash is so nice I hate to tear it apart, probably knicking or gouging it with a screwdriver trying to find out where the clips are all at. I drive and as I hit certain rpm's I press here and there trying to pindown the noise, but just can't find it...)-; Car's not that old either.

[@JC-es1no]

Excellent video, if more people were conscientious and remembered the basics, there would be a lot more satisfied customers!!!!! Great job!!!!!!

[@tommymack8916]

Just did a brake pad job but didn’t change the hardware. Sure enough, an annoying squeaking started. Headed to the parts place for a hardware kit now. Hopefully that will solve my problems. Thanks!!

[@sjs2657g]

Just bought a 2007 Tundra with 74k miles and I was told the rear brake pads were replaced. They were, but the inside rear pad wasn't placed on the hardware correctly so the pad shifted and in 300 miles they were squealing like Ned Beatty in Deliverance.

[@SIG226Y]

Like a pig!

[@sjs2657g]

Funny thing was that because it was the inside pad that shifted, the outside pad looked brand new. I had it less than 200 miles, so I thought it was a "normal" brake squeal.

[@Ottonic6]

You lube your hardware just the opposite of how I do it. I put lube on the brackets where the hardware contacts them. helps keep moisture out and prevents rust jacking. Then I just leave the ear slide channels alone. They're stainless, and those have the coating on them also, so I feel there is really no need to lube them. Just leaves residue for cr@p to build up... What ever works. Right? Love your videos Brian. Thanks!

[@johndef5075]

My 2009 mazda 5 rear caliper pin was sticking. The problem was corrosion built up behind the rubber bushing. Pulled it out cleaned out the corrosion reinstalled bushing and its smooth now.

[@JasonTylerRicci]

Great video. I always take a wire brush to these hardware parts. Then a bit of caliper grease.

[@aport_8]

love your channel browski. just watched this first video and I like what you got going on. keep up the great work. shout out from El Paso, TX!

[@andrewpate9157]

I suspected this is my issue but came to KZbin to see if there was any proof to support my thinking… I’m gonna take my brakes back off and replace the hardware ( only thing I didn’t replace before) great video thanks …

[@SushiPac]

Awesome video Brian best videos on KZbin

[@MoparGuy1625]

I usually spray the rotors with Pam cooking spray and that quiets em up really well. Stopping on the other hand isn’t that great but ya know. Pros and cons.

[@mikec1096]

80% of brian's videos are great where as only 20% of youtube videos are great. jk all of brian's videos are great. thanks

[@99shadows66]

I had a sign in my shop to remind my techs to take pride in their work. It read: "You never have time to do it right but you always have time to do it twice" Don't be that tech.

[@All2Skitzd]

I dont want to sound like too much of a nut hugger but I like your videos and out of all the KZbin car doctors I trust what you say more then any of the others. You always have cool new tools to show, explain things well, and seem to be up to date with what your doing and to take interest in your work. James Barcellano, Jason Curry, hamy thebeast (hamythebeast), TheKnightda8, Nikolai Pozdniakov, ServusLibertate, Thomas Niner, Chris Ryan, d st, Jesse Lyons, Mike Hunt, heyitschinoable, all commented on this. Whats the deal here, seems kinda odd they all just happen to comment on the same thing and on the same month my brakes started making noise. Even if they did send him the shit for free it sure didn't seem like any sponsored video I have ever seen, plus he said it is not, and even if it was, he clearly shows more then one example of what the problem and what the fix is.

[@carabela125]

Thanks Brian! Next brakes I do will be the right way. No more squeaks.

[@mds19238]

just as important as replacing missing, damaged, rusted, corroded hardware is to clean ALL contact surfaces. High temp anti-seize is more than sufficient and cost less, use silicone grease on pins & related dust boots. Cheap pads & shoes are a no-go. Any hot spots on the rotors and I would replace them also. Complete and proper road test to verify repair and seat new friction material.

[@FireEater]

Brian still one of the best. Thank from NY 👍🏻

[@virolfestrellado9425]

Good clips Sir... very informative. I like you did multiple examples in 1 video. Keep up sharing the knowledge. God bless!

[@TheCharly970]

excellent very good video thanks.... change brake pads rotor but after three weeks began to do again Squeak that can be

[@6GSF]

brian suprb my problem isnt solved yet as I've just ordered but its obvious from your description , I've never replaced the hardware ever !! No w i am going to as I'm scaring too many pedestrians with my squeaking brakes

[@Bars_on_wheels]

Brian i really appreciate that time you take to tech us something GOD bless

Hey Brian Thanks for posting a video that helps. Very detailed

[@squisht9098]

in my country they don't sell those part's separate. no after market either. agents only and even then, they make you buy the pads from them for the "full kit"

[@robbiegwinn]

[@andrewharris2655]

Great video! I never knew that about squeaky brakes. Thanks!!

[@GeorgeGardinier]

thanks so much it is nice to know the parts, i am retired from the medical field and want to buy an rv. diesel or gas engine, what is your opinion on this please. you are the first automotive channel i watch.

[@bradleypreston5282]

I know I'm not Brian and you probably are looking for his opinion rather than mine but I'll give you mine as an input ( I'm also a technician) I would buy a diesel, yes they cost more but...longer service intervals, better torque (helpful if you're pulling a trailer) better fuel economy normally, and diesel engines have a longer overall lifespan. hope this information helps and good luck with the search,also enjoy the open road!

[@AdirondackNY]

should have done a double whammy video on this with two subjects, 1 how to fix brakes and 2 how to create a huge tax deduction out of my new truck! :)

Thanks Brian got lazy didn't change the clips lazy works twice. 👍🏻
