Hey Scotty, my aunt has got a 2004 Land Cruiser with 56k miles, should she change the transmission fluid or not? And if so, should she change it at the Toyota dealer?

[@Chuckles9191991]

Tip: don’t break ur hand squeezing the caliper with pliers. Use the old pad with a C clamp to push back in, it’s way easy on ur hands.

[@jayhockley8841]

I also remove the Master Cylinder cap , so the Piston will Compress , easier . Just DONT FOFGET TO PUT THE CAP BACK ON and squeeze down a few times on the brakes when you are all done , Before You move the car .

[@petermelnyk7664]

Exactly how I change brake pads...I never remove the entire caliper...had to show the guys at work how its done

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thanks for posting. Like others said it was nice to see cat in the video. I got kinda lost when video changed away from Impala. Oh well. Im getting tired everyone. Good night Houston!

It's so good to see Scotty's assistant inspecting the car's roof and doing their part to help 😊☺️😀

[@billmichael3484]

Scotty, I hate those crap covers as much as you do. First thing I do is remove them and trash them. (On my own cars of course). Gotta be able to see what's going on under there. Although my 07 Camry 2GR-FE with over 251k only got reliability going on under the hood. Lol. Keep up the good work.

[@Ppp-kk6hw]

Your still the man scotty. Big up from Scotland

[@garylangley4502]

That Impala looks like it is in pretty good condition. Shows what happens when you take care of a car. The one addition I would do to the simple brake pad change would be to lube the caliper pins that the bolts go into. Every time I have ever changed disc pads, the pins are dry, and sometimes they are worn. Think about it. Most of the time, pads last for years, so the pins dry out also. We are about the same age, but I don't have the strength in my hands to compress the caliper pistons with a pair of water pump pliers. I have a tool made to do that, but a C clamp works well also.

[@brucejones2354]

@, I would not buy this car no matter how it sounds even if it was brand new. You couldn't get me to buy a GM product at all. I haul new cars for a living. I see the build quality every day. Our company has contracts with Ford, Nissan, General Motors, Chrysler, HYUNDAI, VW, and Mazda in the areas that I work. I own Fords for my personal use, and I have seen the build quality going down even in the Fords. The only vehicles that i can see where the quality is going up is in the Kia and HYUNDAI brands. They are much better than they were 10 or 15 years ago and most of them will go 100,000 miles or more with decent maintenance. And when you consider the price for a new car and figure that into your cost per mile to own it these become something to consider, then, afterwards look closely at Toyota and Honda that will give you 300,000 plus miles and the cost per mile to own one of these will definitely cause you to raise your eyebrows.

[@davidturk6301]

Would not use a metallic screw driver to pry the frozen brake pad off (potential to scratch the rotor). I’d used something plastic or rubber coated. He also didn’t check the rotor thickness to see if the rotor had to be replaced. Last, it’s been a while since I last did brakes, but on the older Fords, if you compressed the caliper pistons without releasing the pressure from the brake fluid, you could mess up the ABS system.

[@jeffdiggs6318]

Good to see you had your assistant working with you today. 4-paws are helpful.

[@AWIERD1]

Also testing your car electrical system when the cars been running and alternator is hot is helpful.

Hey Scotty!! I had my oil changed today, just replaced the oil filter with a titanium one, a high performance, durability air filter but not the K&N version. I took it out on the highway as well to let it clean itself out with some gumout for deposits, such for my chevy camaro. 2010 This video basically answered my own question. So, in a way you have already helped me on my journey. Thank you for your patience, time good sir! P.s. I am starting to get the impression you don't like Chevrolet. 😁😆 Please make a video about Chevy's and why you believe they are crap if you haven't already. I wish to know more. Best wishes. I hope you're foing well. 😇🖖

[@SquadJuiced]

Jesus. I can't tell you how many times I went in to this one particular shop and I was overcharged because they either didn't know what the hell they were doing or they just fixed a bunch of crap that didn't need to be fixed. This youtube channel is a Godsend.

[@markcdeyoung3118]

That leaf is a deal breaker 😁

[@ryanhull1381]

Do those calipers have a bleed valve? I've been told you open the bleed valve before you squeeze the caliper to push the pistons back. If you don't, it can push the brake pressure back into the master cylinder and cause damage.

I'm surprised the MAF sensor didn't throw a code. Maybe the new one will help clean up the plugs by leaning out the fuel mixture a bit? I still can't figure out what exactly you do to your car so you don't get stupid. Maybe it's just the whole inspection thing?
