[@thomasbeck6859]

Ernest can I give you one small piece advice. When on a complex with property management, mangers get mad because of debris and stains left behind on pavement or asphalt. Just place a small square plastic tarp 2 ft X 2 ft under the area to be worked on. You can also place a couple of shop rags or towels down on the tarp. Rags or towels will contain the minor fluid leaks, tarp will keep and contain everything else. Just before placing the tire back on slide the tarp out and dispose of debris in a proper receptacle. Done, everything nice and neat you have now created a tremendous amount of good will with property management.

[@geoben1810]

Just a suggestion, when you first diagnose a brake job, if the bleeders look like those do, clean them off with a stiff brush and spray them well with penetrating oil while you go for the parts. In this case they'd have been soaking overnight. And invest in a creeper. 👍🏻😉

[@daveslife921]

Living in the rust belt (ohio) it was always a much dreaded job to work on brakes. I really don't remember a time that everything went well. Usually the bleeder screws were seized and required heat to get them loose, the wheels are rusted on. The caliper pins are stuck. And at least one bleeder breaks off. The one you are working on doesn't look sooooo bad. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@suppertrollxD]

A good sign to a great mechanic is not only that he is fixing the job at hand, but preventing problems in the future even though it doesn't directly benefit him. I thought it was cool that even the small things like putting antiseize on a rotor to prevent the rotor from seizing again.

[@Datalfie]

Ernest if you want to keep the reservoir from draining down while you have a brake line off just put a piece of plastic sheet under the reservoir cap and then the reservoir can't vent and the system won't leak fluid. Just make sure to remove the sheet when your done with the job.

[@jaydotseedot]

Just some friendly advice.. don’t put a jack stand under a torsion bar. They tend to break on the side opposite of the control arm making the jack stand completely useless.

[@john7017]

Is that a torsion bar or radius arm?

[@GC2560]

Agree. If not, then likely to bend the bar in the middle. Puts extra stress on the mounting rubbers and connections.

[@GC2560]

Hope there was a sign off on the torsion bar connection. Potentially instability on hard corner turns.

[@equalopprotunityoffender7225]

With all the salt that we use in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, I usually have to pass a smaller bolt through the holes that the caliper bracket bolts to with a nut between the ear and the rotor to act as a press. Just tighten it until it pops, rotate it half a turn and repeat.

[@hunter13605]

Not getting rotors off that easy in NY. Usually requires some not so gentle persuasion.

[@cabcabs]

When I drove Taxicab a few years ago, I was the one who ALWAYS was giving the lazy "mechanic" static for not doing the brakes properly. I wound up being told to do ALL of the brakes on all 30 Taxicabs. I'm NOT a Licensed Mechanic. I refused and they tried to fire me for it. BUT I do the brakes on my own Vehicles. Anti-seize compounds are DA BOMB for making sure that rims don't stay on AFTER you have to use a sledge hammer to loosen them. Love your tutorial vids Ernest.

As a rust belt mechanic I use the biggest dead blow I have on hand to knock a wheel off. I also have used a propane torch around where the rotor and wheel meet and thermal shock it with seafoam deep creep. After everything is off I like to use sand paper or a "cookie wheel" on a die grinder to clean all contact surfaces off. I often just apply a little motor oil with a shop towel on the surface. As for rotors I like to us air hammer with a flat "hammer" bit or the biggest hammer I have on hand.

[@RoadsideRescue]

sounds fun... haha i dont envy the rust belt guys!

[@daveallen8824]

Even with the loss of the front caliper, he should have still had brakes on the rear with a dual master - was he really out of brakes altogether?

[@r.clydelockley5839]

Just a thought, you have become a great educator of young mechanics. If you're going to use the torsion bar as a place for your jack stands use the mounting location. It is always more solid and you will not bend it or cause it to deflect! Just a thought!

Hi. New to the channel. Here's a quick tip on getting rusty tires off easily. Put two bolts back on loosely so the tire doesn't fly off. Lay on your side under front or rear bumper (please take all safety precaution before doing this) and position yourself to kick the interwall of the tire outwards. Two or three kicks and she's off - 100% of the time!

[@miked.8272]

If the car doesn’t move and I can’t park next to it, I’ll park behind unload everything and then do the same thing when I’m finished. Not making multiple trips across the parked lot. Tap stuck wheels with a heavy hammer on the back side. Always fun watching other guys go through the same situations. Keep up the good videos.

[@markleggett5913]

Should have bought two calipers. At that age the other one is close to death as well!! Great channel !

[@mattm6834]

If you push the brake pedal half way down and hold it there with a piece of 2x4 it will prevent the master cylinder from draining while you have the caliper off.

[@Impact0157]

Ernest try using a pry bar next time to get the wheel off it works for me everytime. I use to kick it too. Just a suggestion. Have a good day 👍

[@Anthony-wk8zj]

quick tip use a rubber valve stem and slide it through the brake line so it doesn’t drip this way you can get the old caliper out of the way and you don’t have to pinch the line with anything

[@aarond23]

This could be 'just rolled into the shop' material

[@BobVan]

Another job well done. Those wheels are usually greased with a bore greaser at the Ford factory to ease removal and it usually gets cleaned off later by nonfactory people which is sometimes why the wheel seizes on there. It also helps prevent galvanic corrosion if they have a wheel made of something other than steel. I’m like the other commenters as well, I personally park my Stepvan near where I’m working in case there’s an emergency and need a specific tool ASAP and people will ask me to move if I’m in the way.

[@mommy2chester]

Having done mobile repair for years. I wouldn’t worry about where you park. If it were me I would have parked right behind the truck in the middle of parking lot. 2 reasons, 1 people see you a professional and are less likely to be concerned about you messing around with a “regular” vehicle there. 2 it is great advertisement. Surprisingly even though your truck is in the parking lot in a spot people won’t notice, first time you park in the middle of the road people will see it and think hey this guy services this area and they will grab your number off the truck for future use. If you are blocking parking most I will repeat MOST people will be civilized and ask you to move if you are in their way. You will however no matter where you are at find that occasion person that will be a pain in the a**.

Asking as a not-native speaker: Is this common in the US or in your area to say "take the tire off" when you actually take the whole wheel off?

[@peckies2575]

Really comes down to personal preference

[@thingserik7269]

Interchangable. If the wheel is off and then you say take the tire off, you would dismount it from the rim. If you have a flat and put the spare tire on. The spare, of course is already mounted. Try to figure out how something can be "hot" and "cool" at the same time. It's perspective

Get a circular wire brush on your drill, great for cleaning hubs. As for stuck discs, a few love taps (hit with passion) on the side and front is enough to break them loose.

A trick for getting off a very stuck wheel or wheel bearing or rotor is to wedge a 2*4 between the wheel (or wheel bearing or rotor) and chassis of the car and turn the wheel with the car accessories on.

Admire you to work the way you do. Not easy working outside in parking lots.

[@kj197734]

What about the broken sway bar end links? You can tell this person doesn't do basic maintenance. I would hate to see his oil changes, diff fluid, or transmission fluid!

[@OhhHectic]

I saw that too when he’s was finishing up on the near side 👍🏻

[@RoadsideRescue]

yeah somehow i left that out in editing. but i did talk about them a bit. idk where that clip went to...

[@MattTZew]

@@RoadsideRescue did you replace it?

[@kkovler1]

I just replaced a sway bar link that was missing on my older mustang. I wonder why it just disappeared, I see it's common?

[@MattTZew]

@@kkovler1 I had one rust out on my 02 Silverado here in Michigan. But only the top busted out. More common in the salt belt

[@tylerstewart1471]

I've seen it a few times and I think that redundancy is a great way to be safe under a vehicle !

[@Fmiguelify]

Have got in trouble for working on A vehicle on the street. I live at a trailer/mobile home park and im not even allowed to change my Oil. Pissed me off

[@MrRobMetal]

i always press the brake pedal (slightly) when replacing hydraulic parts in the system. with a broomstick between the seat or a special pedal holder (idk what its called in english), so that the compensator hole in the master is blocked, and just one or two drops of fluid leaks out, and theres no mess.

as neglectful as I am about my brakes, I cannot even imagine getting to this point

[@seventhladderautosport]

What has helped me with a stuck wheel is lightly put the lug back on then kick it from behind or Wack the rubber with a 2lb hammer

[@Fasyle]

This. This is a life saver.

[@memomakes9453]

The fella with the torsion bar comment is right though. Dont put a stand under them thangs. But, I think I saw an additional support. So thats a plus

[@RoadsideRescue]

Yeah i guess i want super clear. thats why i said sometimes one doesnt touch. it was just there as a safety not touching. :)

[@dunebuggymike]

Have you ever tried a pressure bleeder? It would save you a lot of time here.

[@StuDogg81]

I was surprised to see you didn’t have a rubber wheel with a drill for that rust or maybe you didn’t want to make a lot of noise either way a job 👍 well done

[@Bjornar_Gjostol]

As usual a very educational video :-)

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks again!

[@redeemedheathen]

You should get some sort of sturdy carry tub to carry your tools, and it could double as a little stool upside down, so you dont have to be sitting on the ground

[@StuDogg81]

Thank you for not making us listen to you dragging that jack the whole way lol! A jack over asphalt is a horrendous noise

[@joe1071]

Dudes probably towing heavy without trailer brakes, roasting his fronts

[@AlaskaErik]

You should put a light coating of grease on each side of the rotors to ensure smooth braking action with no chattering.

[@schism9]

Lol I hope you're being sarcastic...

[@jbdragon3295]

When I used to work on cars, replace one bad caliper replace them in sets!!! Issues could pop up with three old one. The car could also pull one way or the other having one new and of old. I have this nice MAC pad that I can lay on, then it can fold in half which doubled up tut padding which really makes it nice on your knees. It's not all that big and my knees thank me every time I use it. This guys brakes were grinding for quite some time before the brake pad back plate got thin enough to pop right out of that mount causing the caliper piston to goes out way past the point where the seal will do anything causing the fluid to pour right out and have no brakes!!!. Really, this guy was a flat out idiot that put everyone at risk on the road around him. At that metal on metal grinding didn't just happen overnight!!!. To do the brakes right, fluid wise, a power brake bleeder is fantastic to have on hand. Dump a gallon of dot 3 into it. Add some air pressure to it. Connect to the fitting you mounted on top of that master, open valve and then is bleeding at each wheel quickly. Flushing out the old fluid and get all the air out quickly. That seemed line way to much anti seize. As it gets hot, it could run down onto the brake pads. That's not a good thing either.

[@toddbowers5673]

Do you ever recommend replacement of other parts? Why replace just one caliper? Shouldn't you replace both?
