Better to change the fluid than to replace the lines. Fluid sucks up the water causing the rust. Then again if you replace a brake line you need the replace the fluid anyway. Worst case scenario: You do brakes, lines, fluid and then store the car. 5-10yrs later when you want to drive it again you will most likely need to replace lines/fluid/seals again.

Then I found yours, and was very happy to see that they were full of information, delivered in a natural, helpful way, including the right tools needed for each step, tips on things to do to extend the life of your brake job, keep the brakes from squeaking, etc. For me, this group of videos was exactly what I needed to help me take on this project with confidence. I'm actually looking forward to it now! Thank you !!

Good advice as usual Scotty. and yes, I did "Ring that Bell... Just DIY serviced the HandBrake ( Hand UK ~~ Emergency Brake USA ) on my 2005 MG ZT Petrol Turbo. It has Disc Brakes on the rear and inside their hubs, are a small brake shoe assembly for the the Handbrake operation. Doesn't hold the car like it used too. So removed Discs/Rotors and Calipers on rear. I used some 5% Dilute Dishwashing Up Liquid in a Mist Sprayer the type gardeners use to spray their plants. Then liberally sprayed the assembly after removing Brake Discs. Worked that into all the nooks and crannies with a Nylon Bristle Brush. Then rinsed the lot of it off with some recently boiled water. That warms the components and allows them to dry quickly with the heat. Then adjust trial and error with disc on then off until ideal Handbrake setting is achieved. I can now park my car on the steepest slopes confident it will not roll away. This frequently happens with some cars even modern new ones with the fancy brake assist gizmos... several reports in the press about runaway cars. Not all advanced technology is 100% beneficial. I'm one of those drivers who does get 100,000 miles out of the Pads .. not to be confused with driving slowly as you mention. Anticipation is what its all about. Many drivers are heavy on their brakes. No need. Plus wait at long hold ups or red lights with foot firmly planted on brake pedal stressing the hydraulic seals in the system. That' accelerates wear and why their cars need expensive brake renewals soon and more frequently. Keep that good advice coming Scotty. You have millions of Bell Ringers ...👍👍

You crack me up. Love your videos! Everything makes sense or duplicates what I tell people and know... Now I have have many cars and trucks and usually the calipers stick... So what I do is unbolt the caliper and "pop" the piston by pushing the brake pedal then clean it out make sure it's clean and no resistance.... Then I'll put some grease on the cyllander undo the bleeder and push the piston in the whole way.. reinstall the caliper then bleed the brake.. that way when you let off the brake it comes back and doesn't stick...
