You took time to speak on details without speaking down and taking time to take the camera and SHOW those details. Changed my front brakes on my Mustang for the first time in my life successfully thanks to you! Great job !

Excellent! The shop wanted $260 to change my front brakes on my Ford E150 van. I watched this video, spent $45 for pads, two packets of grease and a c-clamp because the parts store didn't sell the basic affordable tool for compressing the piston. It took one hour from the time I got the jack out until I was test driving the van. I even took time to clean things well. I recommend the advice someone else in the comments section gave " Remove the cap from your brake fluid reservoir and use the old brake pad as a flat surface for the c-clamp to squeeze on". I did it that way and it works no problem. I only lost maybe 1/4 a cup of fluid while compressing the piston. Next time I will put a towel around the reservoir to catch the fluid. Thanks for a great video!!

Irideon Andon You dont have to remove the cap (it vents itself) but using the old brake pad is a great idea, and I learned to do it that way ever since. My newest video I am working on will have that step in there! Glad the video was helpful and you saved a ton of money and now you know how to do it yourself!

Brilliant video. Chris Fix, you gave me the confidence to change the front pads on my Mondeo ST200 (Contour SVT in the States). I have done oil & filter, plugs, fuel, cabin & air filter, plus removed my upper and lower intake manifolds to clean but never dare attempt brakes... until now. First side took an hour from start to finish, other side 20 minutes. Tip for others, I used one of the old pads to lay across the piston when using the rewind tool. Thanks again, probably saved me £50.

already there man, i was up til late last night sucking up information... BUT since i have you, to make my 2003 ford expedition last FOREVER, i change the oil, and have 'THE GUYS" look at it once in a while, but what servicing can i do to make this truck last as long as possible - i had wheel bearing issues on my little trailer last year - i didn't know what a wheel bearing WAS until then. so what should i check/maintain in the truck and how often. i figure if it costs me the same amount to buy a tool and the parts as it would for someone else's labour, i'm way ahead. better than fixing it AFTER it's broken! so brakes, do you have to take them apart to check them or after so many miles, or just have a peek at the pads when you change the tires for the winter... ball joints - i sort of know what they are, but i know they need looking after... i can do just about anything if i have someone like you showing me how... so.. thanks, first vid i saw where i felt i could do it!

one less rat Just check the brake pads for wear everytime you do a service and tuneup by removing the wheel and visually checking - you don;t have to remove the pads to inspect them (which should be every 5-10,000kms or 6 months).

That's an excellent tip. Also, try putting the old pad between the tool and the piston and then just push in the middle. That way you'll press it in directly and won't damage that seal on the piston.

This is an early ChrisFix video. He has a newer and better one covering rotor replacement in addition. It would also be good to let viewers know how to tell they need brake service in the first place, pad thickness, rotor wear and thickness, etc. Also how to find out how to and how much to torque nuts and bolts. His later videos are much more organized and comprehensive. He inspires confidence and is a true treasure to DIYers.

@chrisfix
@chrisfix 10 жыл бұрын
You dont need to bleed the brakes if you dont take off any brake lines. If you cant compress the piston, crack the bleeder valve on the caliper and then try compressing the piston. You will need the bleed the brakes when you are done if you do that.

@ChrisFix bro at 3:06 the brake pad has like a piling burr in the corner….I bought a second hand car and the brake pads are thick like new but they have the same burr in the corner except it’s like 4x bigger than what you show in your video; would cheap pads not bedded correctly after pad slapping old rotors cause this? Or could it be normal on new pads?

Great video, BUT beginners need to know two more things. #1 - When you push back the piston in the caliper, the brake fluid may very well overflow the reservoir on the master cylinder. You need to know how to deal with this. #2 - You need to pump up the brakes in order to make sure the pads are in contact with the rotors before you start driving. Very important. There is nothing like the feeling you get when the car is moving and you step on the brakes and the pedal goes to the floor and you can't stop. Also, the tool for pushing back the piston as shown in the video is being used incorrectly. It should be positioned to push down in the center of the piston, NOT on the edge as was shown. If you don't understand anything in the video, or what I have written here, please get the work done by a professional. A incorrectly done brake job can be a matter of life or death. No kidding. Good luck.

@Why Bother Should be no reason to open the master cylinder reservoir, other than to allow air on top of the fluid level to escape as the fluid level rises. You really shouldn't add fluid to the reservoir between brake jobs. The level will go down as the brakes wear down, and by the same amount. So when you retract the caliper and push the fluid back into the reservoir, there won't be any excess fluid to spill out. Here's something to think about... DOT3 brake fluid is anhydrous. That means it will pull water out of the air, thus contaminating the fluid and causing oxidation (rust and corrosion) throughout the brake system. DOT4 fluid is only slightly better. Both are the best paint removers ever invented. Every precaution needs to taken to clean up any spillage immediately! However, DOT5 silicone fluid (red in color) Is inert and will not burn. (Did I mention that DOT3 is flammable too!). DOT5 will not boil up to just over 5000 in elevation. So, not anhydrous, won't eat paint, temperature and dimensionally stable, non-flammable. I changed to DOT5 silicone fluid when I updated to disc brakes on my 4x4 van after thoroughly cleaning out the brake lines and rear wheel cylinders. That was just over 200,000 miles ago, with no issues whatsoever. So why then don't manufacturers make DOT5 standard equipment. Seriously, unless you're driving to the top of Pikes Peak every day, I can't come up with any reason not to.

hey man, a little tip I learned from racing dirtbikes.. when u compress the piston back in, crack the bleeder and let that old fluid behind the piston come out.. it sits behind the piston and when the brakes get hot, it boils the fluid and breaks it down.. instead of pumping it all back up into the system and contaminating the rest, just squirt it out. long as the reservoir is full and u tighten the bleeder b4 u take the clamp off, u wont even need to bleed them

Yeah just trying to make the best out of my situation lol...oh Yeah and the dash light is showing "anti lock" does this mean my brakes are bad?... I do need front brakes but when I get them put on will the light go off?...ps I already have my van videos here on KZbin 😊

That ABS system has a fault so the anti lock light comes on. You can get a parts store to scan the code for free. Just plug in the OBD2 scanner and you can get the code and figure out why the light is on. Your brakes will still work, but your abs will not.

I started to hear a grind yesterday without warning. Man, this sucks. I'm in the middle of moving and am at the end of my cash until the end of the month. Thanks for this video. I'm going to buy the cheapest pads in the morning and try this out. It looks doable, but then I hope the last mechanic didn't tighten the lugs too much. (fingers crossed)

By the way, I hear a grind while on a slow roll. (2012 Transit Connect XLT). Anyone have any ideas why that may occur? I'll know more tomorrow hopefully. But in the meantime, I wonder why that would happen. :( (I swear I didn't know this was coming. Maybe I was getting a squeal, but I always have the radio on.)

Amazingly impressive video instructions UNTIL you get to 7:40 where your use of the caliper tool is a completely wrong. NEVER put pressure on the edge of the caliper piston! You want that tool (or any other tool) CENTERED with the caliper piston .... try this: back off the threads of the tool with enough gap so you can temporarily put back one of the old pads across the caliper piston. (you'll soon be pressing the old brake pad, rather than directly on the piston) This provides smooth and even pressure across the caliper piston's full diameter. (you're together pressing both the pad/caliper back in place. I was already a subscriber of yours btw. You are a very talented producer with these videos, with very detailed information that others would simply overlook. The camera angles and lighting is superb. No one is perfect, so I hope my comments did not offend you. Thanks for your time and effort!
