Just a quick tip, from my experience, since these are linked to the brake system, you can help the wipers stop by pressing the brake pedal each time they reach the A pillar. That way, you won’t scratch your paint and it will give you a few months to get a replacement!

Bleeding them was a bit tricky without help from a well trained friend. Be sure to top off your windshield wiper brake system reservoir while you are in there. I almost forgot. The reservoir in most vehicles is either next to or directly behind the blinker and flasher fluid reservoirs.

[@bobwiley6221]

The NRS wiper brake kits are the best you can get. After replacing mine the screeching went away and they always park where they should. I just saw your video on the difference between summer air and winter air in the tires and I'm about to change to the summer air. Wish me luck it looks like a pretty good project.

Pro tip: When servicing pneumatic wiper brakes be sure to apply a thin layer of D.O.T Fluid to the wiper blades and winshield surface area to ensure no contamination arises from the old air.

Yeah man Chris is the only one on KZbin who really ever makes videos on this‼️‼️‼️ So strange …………

[@InsideOutPorkChop]

What would I do without this guy, first the bathroom faucet, and now wiper brakes. He really does fix everything!

[@Tylnorton]

Don't forget those Piston Return springs. Those are more critical.

[@Tech_481]

Also don't forget the exhaust bearings! Mine just went bad a couple weeks ago and it's making one hell of a rattle

How to install ABS in windshield wipers breaking system??

[@DeezNuts-]

I was doing this same repair yesterday and noticed that A/C blowoff valve was stuck off, so im looking forward to your video on how to replace it!

[@wellfulgoodness8211]

This is a great video by Chris. I'm a master technician of 25 years. I had a customer last week saying that their wipers were clapping the windshield when the wipers moves back into the resting position, even with new wipers. Come to find out that the wiper rotors were warped. I changed them and the wipers were back to normal. And I also replaced their blinker fluid with a new type of liquid with reflective particles to make their blinkers more bright. They were very satisfied.

[@oznetyoutube125]

Synthetic Blinker Fluid is the best. its rated for 10,000 blinks between changes.

[@Samanthaarteno]

please tell me you didn't forget to replace the muffler barrings did you? it's recommended to get them changed out every time you fill up with gas. but only on fill ups. if you just get a few bucks wprth at a time then they'll last forever.

The previous owner of my car lived on and only ever drove on a highway so he never went below 85mph. He deleted the brakes and I had no idea how to add them again! You've saved not only my life but everyone's around me when I'm driving! Thank you!

[@BlueOvals24]

It is such a simple repair, and I think that's why not a whole lot of people cover it on YT. Even my auto instructor from HS didn't go much in depth on this repair. So glad Chris finally made a video, can't tell you how many cars I've had to sell just because I didn't know how to fix the wiper brakes.

My car came with Carbon Ceramic Wiper Brakes, the dealer wanted $15,000 for replacements!

[@flagmichael]

That's outrageous! Even the titanium disks are not that expensive. Almost, but not quite.

NEVER rely on a dealer for those. Perfectly good aftermarket Carbon Ceramic Wiper Brakes can be had for around 5K. Just shop around.

[@Akotski-ys9rr]

What’s up Samcrac

[@altairtodescatto]

They do really try to rip people off, gotta say, You can get factory quality or even better for half that

[@chrisfix]

What?! That’s way expensive even for carbon ceramic wiper rotors. I’d go aftermarket then.

[@JuanSuasto]

Thank you for the amazing video; it worked great, and when I finished the brake job, I also changed my tires from the old winter air to the new Spring fresh air. Thank you for keeping us well-informed. Tomorrow the alternator will get a fluid change because I have over 5000 miles on that fluid.

Wiper brakes are always the first thing I do to a used car after purchase, followed by spark plugs. It’s cheap and easy to do, and it’s so easy to not look like a fool with bad wiper brakes, always so easy to spot, yet so easy to fix. Also nice that it doesn’t cost much for parts either.
