Really like the way these are narrated, always enjoyable watch.

[@futurern_corey6488]

really loving this channel I love that the work is budget yet not hack and that you really show all of the little details that other build channels leave out yet also keep a higher standard on video and audio quality

[@calebbrown8365]

This context of repairing a car is teaching me so much at a base level. And the humor always helps. Thanks for your content!

[@JacobKondrath]

Your voice is so similar to "Casually Explained". Casually Explained: Rebuilding a Firebird. Similar humor too. Love watching these videos despite not owning a firebird that needs fixing.

[@BoomChockolaca]

>Love watching these videos despite not owning a firebird that needs fixing. me too. I don't even have a car, sold my 99 toyota 5 years ago, but still remember this "garage days" feeling

[@masonhammond8907]

I love the Impromptu humor that is part and parcel with this channel.

[@RenaRoo123]

I'm not a car person but this series has captivated me lol

[@garyashdown5376]

It's so nice to see someone repairing brake's than just slapping new complete parts on a car. Yes it takes more time but you get to see and understand how a brake system works. When it comes to brake's whether it's one or six piston system I always strip and repair calipers so I know the brakes are 100%. Keep up the good work.

[@TheBrokenLife]

I like that he did that too, but I think he's completely nuts for doing it. haha!

[@jeffreygrindle6396]

I really appreciate the way you have brought this car back to life it's really coming along nicely no short cut just doing it right

[@paulpateman3968]

Pontiac’s always hold a place in my heart as I was brought up on Smokey and the Bandit one day I would like to own one keep up the good work

[@doug4bears]

It was a sad day when Pontiac was shut down. ;(

[@hcjgfzjyd2452]

It's coming along beautifully.

[@dustybaker890]

loving the build great video.back in the day we always used a( c clap ) to press the piston.have a great day god bless!!!!

5:33 “ it would be silly to let this fluid go to waste”.. 😂😂 omg 😂😂

[@mattsalas1525]

These episodes make me want to get another project car, so damn tempting!

[@AggieEngineer1]

I just came across these videos and have watched every firebird episode in two days. I usualy perfer concise short videos like Scotty Kilmer's but these are great! I love the attention to detail and getting everything done right without shortcuts and the video editing. Also, I just finished a brake job on my 92 firbird last Saturday. I would have probably struggled less if this video had come out earlier lol

[@shirinr9701]

I dont understand anything about cars but i love your sense of humor:)))

[@owen_03montero]

Nice!! You should totally paint the calipers :(

[@Yellow_Hammer]

Banjo bolts must always be accompanied by banjo music.

[@andersonthomasc12345]

I love how you've added your humor to these videos. Very funny.

[@doug4bears]

Hey bud....I really love all your videos.......the way you present the whole episode laced with humor is outstanding. I always enjoy them very much. Can't wait to see the next one. !!

[@LXTyler]

Very informative video! I've watched a couple caliper rebuild videos by now to get a better idea of what to expect on my foxbody soon, and I can confidently say yours has shown me the most detailed, clear, and straight to the point way how. Your camera skills are extraordinary as well, keep it up! I just subscribed.

[@sweetbabyrodney]

I have no idea what you're saying, but I still watch it.

[@TheBrokenLife]

Pro-Tip @4:00... Push the hard line up through the hose bracket, after you remove the clip, to get the rubber hose unlocked, then unthread the hose off of the line. On rusty garbage like we've got, it will save you a lot of broken hard lines from seized flare nuts. The point is NOT to even attempt to turn the flare nut and just unscrew the hose from it.

[@christianbyk2486]

I just got home from a long day at work; this video made my night! Keep these videos coming!!!

[@roxanneabbott8424]

That was so educational! Thank you for all the work you do to put these videos out to us!

[@tomsmith29]

that firebird won the lottery ! keep these vids coming !

[@madamfloof2249]

I'm glad you convinced mister two by four, to work with you on another video. Nothing like seeing partners in crime in action.

Omg brake fluid on the plant!! You monster 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brocktyler2818]

I'm excited to see the replacement of the lines! Thank you!

[@TRDGE]

I really enjoy your Firebird build videos, thank you for making these, fantastic job!

[@iansyme3535]

Nice explanation of the refurbishment...… plus, you were VERY lucky that the caliper pistons were not too corroded to bring back in to service. The few times I have done this job it is always the main problem.

[@Ian.Valerio]

Just binged all 7 episodes. I love it! Just have to wait now.

[@danielfisch655]

Great information and I'm now motivated to redo the brakes on our new used 1993 Subaru Sambar. Thank you for sharing.

The Right Stuff makes OE style brake lines, you'll never have to bend and flare your own lines ever again!! They even come in stainless, with steel loop just like stock!

These imo, are the best looking year of bird..

[@JoDoDesigns2011]

When installing the pistons back into the caliper housing, you can use a caliper tool to push them back in

[@weresonic11]

I low key keep checking back every day to see if you posted a video XP

I really enjoy these videos.

[@justhes]

I have an 82' Cummins swapped f150. I rebuilt the wheel cylinders and that was just a waste of time. Went to the parts store and got 2 new cylinders for less than 20 bucks and they've been pretty good even after all these years. I just flush the brakes once a year to keep fresh fluid in the system.

[@MartinVaillancourt]

bro you actually have the best humor ever haha keep it up dude

[@rob2267]

I’ve found that walnut shell scouring pads (available at most supermarkets or online) are very good for situations like 9:28 because they are not abrasive enough to scratch metal but will remove residue from seals and gaskets, at the cost of having to scrub longer than using a regular scotchbrite pad

Aaaaah sweet a firebird video finally👍

[@colescrustycars]

Good informational video that will help alot of beginners. One thing I did notice you say in error is the front master cylinder reservoir serves the front brakes. That is wrong in this case. The rear reservoir serves the front brakes. You will notice its bigger because it's the most important etc.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

Yep, good call! I was rushing to edit this together and messed that one up. I'll mention it in the next episode when rebuilding the master. Was thinking about older GM stuff, my 78 Firebird is front-front, rear-rear.

[@DaShneeko]

Damn it I can’t wait for the next video!!

[@TopHatButcher]

Great Video man!

[@JamesNashII4u2c]

I just seen this, On The Master cylinder at 17:37 time stamp, the front is used to control the rear breaks. and the rear of the master cylinder is to control the front breaks. even though it's been years later.
