Wholesome video. During university in Germany I was a mobile mechanic for some extra money, but I just did it for scooters and small cc bikes. I definitely felt it when you mentioned they need the vehicle for work and aren’t made of money. A lot of my customers were migrants from Africa, working delivery jobs. They often share one scooter between multiple people, the scooter is driving 24/7 so they earn enough to scrape by. I just felt so bad charging them. I heard a quote about America that most people wouldn’t have access to $1000 if they had an emergency. It must be devastating when the vehicle they depend on breaks down.

When i was working at bmw we had to use brake pad paste to “minimize brake squeal” which was actually legit. Sometimes the way the pad sat in on the fixed calipers especially it would squeak over time from metal to metal touching on the caliper (not the pad touching). There were a few specific spots you want to apply it

had a difficult brake job on a car, and my grandfather decided not to buy brake lubricant (1.99 at Autozoone). As unlike every other time by using that, we ended up doing a 30 minute job in the span of 5+ hours because we could not get the brake pads into the groove of the bracket. It may accumulate dirt, but in some cases it does help with putting the pads on and allowing them to travel easier. In my experience anyway.

@308dad8 2 ай бұрын

I remember the first time I heard of it. They sell it as “stop squeak” and it can help with squeaking somehow. I don’t know how but it can when a thin layer on the back side of the pad. The shim. It’s not necessary and I don’t use any unless they squeal and aren’t against the rivets which has been a long while. There was a time and certain set of conditions that produced squeal and applying grease to the shims would shut it up.

When the brakes go metal to metal , then wear throug the pad and half way through the rotor , the caliper piston pops out and the pedal goes to the floor.

Wow! They drive 'em till the brake pads literally go away! There is no excuse for this. A $30 set of brake pads... If they can afford to drive, they can afford $30. Now they have to pay a lot more. Anyone can do a brake job. It's easy to learn, and can be done with a minimum of tools. I'm willing to bet that they have smart phones and cable TV...they'd rather pay those bills than maintain their vehicle in bare minimum safe condition- and as a result, they now have to spend a lot more. (And before anyone says it: I grew up very poor, among the poor, and I saw the same scenario repeated over and over again- this is WHY the poor are poor; because they're irresponsible and their priorities are messed up. And then they breed...). Hope you get paid, Matt. My asshat of a sister had a wonderful mobile mechanic who would always help her out (I wouldn't TOUCH her car!). When she moved, she left owing him $200, which she never paid.

No grease on the back of the pad and no grease on the hardware only under. Thats a correct brake job. Always regrease the slide pins after cleaning them and too much grease is possible on the slide pins it will cause a hydraulic like reaction to them as they heat up causing the brakes to stick. Ive done more brake jobs than you can shake a fist at and have only had squeak comebacks because of cheap ass pads that were customer supplied aka oriellys el cheapos.

Yo brother grease on the back of the pads can help reduce pad squeak. As you apply the brakes the pads vibrate at a high frequency causing the pads to rub parts of caliper that squeeze pad. This is usually not necessary on high quality pads with good shims on the back as the shims serve the same purpose but i always put a little on there just to help prevent comebacks. Keep up the good work man love yiur channel.
