SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT @chrisfix ‘s BRAKE FLUSH AND BLEED METHOD ON MODERN VEHICLES

[@TheMattElton]

No one has yet said why the pad nipple has to go in the slot on the piston. It’s only applicable on rear callipers with mechanical handbrake. The nipple stops the piston rotating thus allowing the internal one way advancing thread to work to take up the gap as the pads wear. If there is no nipple or it’s not installed right the piston will rotate and not advance forward on the thread. Hence the right hand and left turn piston pushers.

[@themarvelousvlog]

Perfect explanation mate! Will have this pinned. This will definitely help people learn

[@konradc12]

10:55 You highlighted the most important part of rewinding the pistons in the caliper. Lining the piston notch, so the nipple on the back of the inner brake pads sit within that notch! Lot's of mechanics have made this mistake, which resulted in the inner brake pad wearing quicker and in a wedge shape. I have seen this happen when replacing the pads. Good bit of advice on this very good video.

[@izzzzzz6]

Finally found out why rear brakes on various of my vehicles were binding. Must remove all corrosion from the groove that carries the piston seal, even the tiniest amount of corrosion in that groove will cause the piston to bind. I had to use a dental pick because it was a mission getting around the screw thread for the piston. fill void behind rubber cover with a wet rubber friendly heat proof silicone grease.

[@steveratcliffe4427]

The left and right means left hand thread and right hand thread on the tool. So for example a lot of fords like transits and mondeos have left hand threat to wind it back on one side of the car

[@themarvelousvlog]

Thank you! This is why I love everyone here. Another question answered, another lesson learnt 🙏🏾 Thank you again

[@steveratcliffe4427]

No problem mate, your a great mechanic. love the videos keep them coming 👊

[@marchowie]

Peugeots were also bad for one side of the car having left to turn piston and right on the other side

[@channeldan]

Over 37 years of messing with cars I’ve tried every different brake slider grease and find that ceramic grease is the way to go for sliders and pad friction points. 👍🏻 You’re still a top lad with your practices and your brother & co pilot are also excellent workers. Keep up the videos I’m always watching. Thankyou Fm Dan

[@rhysevans9611]

My local motor factors sell mainly Apec brakes and i quite like them tbh, they seem decent quality and had no issues so far. They also sell tubes of brake grease (for the ears of pads etc) and brake slider grease. I have started using this stuff religiously and again zero issues.

[@miff227]

@@rhysevans9611 though i also have a kit with "slider" "pins" and "pads" grease, I don't know what typres of grease they are, would be interesting to know

[@tm2204]

Didn't know about the nipple on the brake pad lining up with the notch on the caliper piston... you learn something new every day 😀 The one thing I do that you don't is add a smear of ceratec brake grease to the back side of the pads to help alleviate brake squeal/squeek 👍🏼

[@JLomax-25]

Your right about copper grease on brakes. It's a no go. I used to work at Audi, and we never used coppers grease. We used plastilube. It creates something called galvanic corrosion ( white corrosion). When two dissimilar metals are used together. For example copper and cast iron.

[@SuperVitz]

Generally good work, and you're right about flushing the ABS pump. I would do some things differently though, 1. That brake hose failed because the rubber boot traps moisture, since it's an older car, you should've inspected and probably advised to replace the other side as well, if not all 4. 2. Use a 6 sided socket to initially brake loose the bleeder, especially on older cars where they might be overtightened or corroded due to lack of maintenance. 3. I'm not familiar with Alfa Romeo, but normally there is also a bleeder on the ABS pump itself where you can flush new fluid through it. 4. Don't mix the slide pin grease, you have no idea if they're compatible and they could gum up and seize. Clean the old stuff out if you don't know what it is. On the Auris, I would've recommended to replace that calliper to the customer since you noted that damage.

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

I like to spray the carrier down with brake cleaner before wire brushing as it helps prevent that nasty dust getting in the air and your lungs..... Edit, 1 more thing, when pushing pistons back in make sure your bleed nipple is open, lots of ABS systems dont like that fluid being pushed backwards through them!

[@raymondharper]

I never in all my years knew about the nipple. Explains why the caliper was sticking in my R56 Mini. Thanks for that!

[@themarvelousvlog]

What it’s all about mate, getting involved! Thank you for watching the video 😁

[@rodpanhard]

I usually just grind the nipple off the inborn pad, sometimes allows you to get better tolerances between piston and caliper.

[@themarvelousvlog]

Hmmm… it’s there for a reason mate. It stops the piston from turning whenever you pull on the handbrake

[@rodpanhard]

@@themarvelousvlog Been doing this for decades now, never had any issues. Sometimes you have to take it off if you have the caliper piston with only the two slots and the half turn one way or the other is not just right. Some car models have famously poor handbrakes and you need adjustment to be perfect.

[@mrman17]

I'm pleased that you replaced the brake hose on the other side - if one has failed, there's a good chance the other could as well. I've never seen fail like that, it's always been due to dry cracking through age or bulging.

[@Mark-l1f3g]

WD40 and most other maintenance sprays will kill the rubber boots on the caliper piston and/or slider pins by swelling them and making them baggy.....which will let water and dirt in. Only use silicone grease or red rubber grease on rubber parts 👍

[@Harold_Callahan]

YES! I learned that when I soaked the slider pins from a 2003 Honda Accord in WD40 overnight. The little rubber bushings on the end swelled up and fell right off.

[@andrewstones2921]

To be fair he did say that after spraying wd40 to the rubber boot he would remove it afterwards.

[@blairarcher8952]

I love these comments. For most of the history of cars being on the roads copper greese has been use .What did they do without the 1000 and 1 greeses .Drove there car and nothing happen that's what .

[@andrewstones2921]

@@blairarcher8952 That’s a really good point. Do you know that the first cars never had oil filters? They all have filters now because we learned a better way. I remember driving cars made In the 60s and 70s before synthetic or semi-synthetic oils and those cars rarely ever made it to 100,000 miles and if they did it was after having piston rings, cam, valves and bearings replaced. They broke down often and brakes too would fail and buying a seal kit to rebuild brake components was normal . There is no doubt in my mind that today cars are more reliable, require less and less repair, and this in part is due to better lubricants, seals and gaskets. Yes a pot of copper grease and a pot of general purpose grease have a place in every toolkit and in a pinch any grease is better than none, but there is a place for modern greases and lubricants. I agree a lot of it is marketing bs, but just because we did things differently in the past, we need to remember that nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

[@themarvelousvlog]

@andrewstones2921 love this!

[@ford1546]

100% agree with you. Copper grease is not the best to use as the grease can evaporate away leaving only copper. Copper is electrically conductive and corrodes and turns green. Finally, copper grease does more harm than good. Now today we have much better things we can use! (Ceramic paste). Do not use copper grease on screws and other things. Use (Ceramic paste)

[@stevereddish6901]

Left hand thread, right hand thread. That is clockwise or anti clockwise, depending which vehicle you are working on. Transit for example is left hand thread nearside

[@m60kaf]

Seen that on a South Main - rust you can't see and made worse by rubber sleeve. A common GM problem.. Probably best to change other side too

[@johnchettleburgh6055]

Through stupidity we managed to empty all the brake fluid out of a Jag F Type on a test track (nothing damaged except for the flower bed outside track control). Turns out that you can’t get 10 brake stops out of the reservoir with a failed brake circuit. Took us forever to bleed the brakes and JLR had to come out with a diagnostic unit to run the ABS modulator (pump) for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

[@themarvelousvlog]

People, including myself before I met the right people, tend to overlook these things that new cars have. It’s just right to advance with the technology and follow the correct sequence provided by the manufacturers Thank you for watching the video!

[@volt8684]

Why do we need tools to compress the pistons. Progress!!!! Serviced cars all my life and my daughter has an Astra with rear discs that have threaded pistons. So a new tool to buy. I ve heard the copper grease argument before however at 66 I have been using it all my life except on the sliders. I am not to liberal with it and perhaps been lucky. Great vlog

[@themarvelousvlog]

Thank you! A lot of workshops and dealers have said bye bye to copper grease a long time ago due to its negative implications, that being said, I still use it on certain suspension components that is not exposed to high heat and dirt

[@mrwaltzerboy]

No tool required as calipers can be wound back with a pair of pliers or grips and a lever bar or big flat head screwdriver. But needs to be done slowly as u run the risk of tearing the seal

You can flush brakes with no fancey tools if no air in the hydraulic system, but if the air is already in the system it's a completely different job as is this one

[@themarvelousvlog]

This is a misconception. Unfortunately with the ABS systems, there are solenoids in the motor which opens and closes- these solenoids can only be actuated electronically. Inside those solenoids are brake fluid, and 99% of the time, they never open unless the abs/traction control kicks in (very very hard braking/skidding. If you don’t actuate the solenoids when bleeding/flushig and they’ve never opened, it’s likely that the brake fluid will turn in to gum, causing your ABS to fail and not work properly when needed. Keep this in mind for your own safety. Hopefully this helps 🙏🏾

2:10 - Imo 'copper grease' isn't ideal for metal / metal contact points. Copper will increase galvanisation corrosion on metal parts and the copper will destroy rubber seals. E.g. For caliper slide pins and the pads themselves, I'd use a silicon grease.

Calipers that wind in (usually incorporating a handbrake) can be threaded right (clockwise) or left (anticlockwise) depending on manufacturer. The calipers will wind the same way on the same car though, not a left a right winder bud 👍 also brake "slider" you mention is called a shim 👌

[@civicvtec92]

Also re copper grease - is is designed as an anti seize compound (clay based) not a lubricating grease. At high temperatures (such as found near brakes) the clay can actually harden and cause sliding components to seize / stick. Pure silicone / red rubber / ceratec on sliding brake parts 👌 Keep up the good work bro 😉

I watched your video just because I saw the title SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT CHRISFIX. First of all, you have to change the video title no offense, and second of all the method is still working I am doing the same thing almost every day. Even the 2024 cars. But if you just want to change the brake fluid and if there is some air although I suggest that you use professional devices if can afford it. But if replaced, or repaired, or changed the brake lines or ABS module or brake master cylinder you should definitely use a diagnostic tool that is equipped with a brake bleeding system. Otherwise, your video is very good and helpful for people who don't know how to do that. 😊

On cars with abs, with engine off, if the brake pedal is pumped more than a few times, the brake pedal would get stiffer and stiffer to the point cannot pump anymore. That is because the solenoids are closed. With engine running, the wheel speed sensor and brake sensors are active and thinks the wheel is frozen then the abs module will modulate the solenoids and then you are able to pump the pedal
