You guys are outstanding! Thanks for watching to the end!

[@Longtrailside]

Well you put out great content so why not watch till the end. Been watching you for many years and always a pleasure. My tip for the brake calipers is it depends on what im working on. For most modern cars and trucks with struts or springs i use brake caliper s hooks. For older, or vehicles with torsion bars i use a black thin rubber bungee with metal s hooks at the ends. Slipt the bungee thru sumpthing and use each of the hooks to go thru the caliper bolt holes. Just dont forget to leave the bungee in the spring 😲

i guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

@Ruben Azariah I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

I wish I could thumbs up this video 3 or 4 more times just for the sidebar commentary. Maybe if someone like you was in the stall next to me I would still be working at my previous shops. Also Can't Antelope

[@alphapackoffroad]

I just changed mine on my 06 avalanche for the second time since owning it. Had moog brand on it and they lasted right at 100k miles running 35in tires. Thought they would have lasted longer but due to tire size and I do use my 4x4 during hunting season I guess 100k is acceptable. Love the videos man! Thanks for posting

[@eddietsuang3668]

Thanks for your vid and tips. I was able to change out my wheel bearings in 1hr...having never done it. I like how you tell it like it is. 2006 H3 280K miles. Can send pics. You tha man!

[@carlmiller1034]

Can't Antelope Great video Brian! Easy and simple when you know exactly how to go about replacing the hub. Thanks again for the very thorough and detailed walk-thru.

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Carl, and you're welcome!

[@andreaechevarria6725]

I first started watching your channel when I had a Subaru and your videos helped me sort out a few issues. Subaru is gone, I don't diy on cars anymore but I still enjoy your videos. Except for the para sailing. Acrophobia. Can only watch a few seconds of you sailing across the screen before I click off. Keep up the good work.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Always look forward to your videos, Brian. Hope you're doing well, buddy. Thanks for the tips.

[@DivergingUnity]

I'm glad i remembered your channel. Forgot to subscribe way back when... turns out a lot of the stuff I learned from your videos on subarus is now helping me with this truck. Cheers to you, love the vids

"Can't Antelope" Nice job Brian👌...and 'Stretchy Strap with carabiner clips' on each end to hang brake calipers👍🇦🇺

[@nicarchiecastro7917]

Thanks for video and guide and more power to you.

[@calholli]

I'm glad you reused the rotors. I don't know why, but watching someone throw away a perfectly good rotor just to put on a new one, really aggravates me for some reason. lol

[@briansmobile1]

Most of the stock rotors are better than the cheap ones for longevity. Might as well.

[@82dupont]

Buy OEM if your going to replace parts, aftermarket auto parts have been in a serious decline as far as quality is concerned.

[@FJ80Coop]

Always clean the rotor and brake pads to remove any oil grease etc you maybe got on them during r&r is a good way to ensure good working brakes...

[@MiguelTorres01]

You mean no hitting the stuck brake rotor with a sledge? What kind of sorcery is this ! Bearings LOVES hammers :p That's my favorite job. Bearing AND brakes, wail with the sledge without guilt !

I agree with you on the antelope, but when it comes to the yots , the thing to do with them is give them a dinner of , 22/250 lead

Nice

[@ScubaMotos]

Thick bungie cord about 6 or 4 inches. That's how I hold mine up. Loop the hook through the caliper hole and hook her on the spring or shock.

[@rrmech11]

Tailpipe hangers the ones where there new in Iventory.

[@Merescat]

Loved the BFATE - any way to know who shot the model rockets?

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Can't Antelope. Good eye spotting those rockets!

[@briansmobile1]

[@sandcrabronco]

So what are the rockets from? Weather instruments? I used to find similar rockets in the woods in Titusville Florida that were launched by kids at Space Camp. Keep up the good work!

Can I drive my Durmax without the cv axel. I’m waiting on one to come in. I left the outer part of the cv axel in place to keep the bearing together. Was wondering if it ok to dive like this and tow my trailer for the time being.

[@beastinowt3569]

Some good wire with rubber around it works good to hold brake caliper

[@jasonmushersee]

10-2 romex. i swear potholes shorten the life of wheel bearings wonder if they last longer in the south?

[@DependableAutoTruck]

i usually use a wire wheel on a drill and do before i put the antiseeze on where the dirt and dust doesn't get into the clean antiseeze

[@AGuysGarage]

use a large reusable zip tie to hold the brakes up, that or a bungie depending on if i misplaced my large reusable zippy.

[@Pyrfighter94]

I use either a zip tie or just mechanics wire to hang brake calipers

[@zoticus1]

You can Get some stainless caliper hangers from Amazon for cheap. Good stuff

[@kenskip1]

Brian. Harbor Freight has a Chief air hammer that would help you on projects like this. It's not the Big Nasty but for just over $125 this would make things easier. Your getting older and better tools could help you. Ken

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Ken- I've got a big Cornwell air hammer. Most people don't have one- and mine was out on loan so I just made due- good thing to demonstrate anyway.

[@vinnycecere5100]

HEY BRIAN...I HAVE A PROBLEM AND IM HOPING U COULD HELP ME WITH...ON MY 2000 BEETLE THERE'S COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE BLOCK...I THINK ITS CALLED A WATER OUTLET..O RING THERE'S A METAL PIPE COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE BLOCK RIGHT NEXT TO THE THERMOSTAT....THE PIPE UNDER THE COIL PACK...HOW DO I FIX IT.???? THANKS...VINNY

[@Rickles]

I did this on a 2003 saturn vue and it took hours of whacking, spraying, torching, and begging to finally get it out.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Mmmm, Can'telope... Bravo, Brian!! ?: I can never remember when you need to have the weight of the vehicle on suspension members in order to torque them properly? Can you help?? Is it only for bushings...dang, gettin' old(er) sucks. Cheers from the Great White North.

[@briansmobile1]

Hey Mario! Great question. When you have control arms with rubber filled bushings that attach to the arm and the center dowel or whatever is being pinched in by the bolt, you have to have it weighted or resting before tightening or the rubber can affect pressure on the control arm up or down and cause the vehicle to not set level.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Awesome! Thanks, Brian. That makes sense. I hope y'all are doing well in Utah. Stay safe.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

10:49 LMFAO! We've all been there. Regarding the whole "follow-through" discussion, didn't comprehend the difference till I became a dad. I use some OTC or generic caliper hooks (s-style).

[@baberromi7339]

Not good result this video but good video good work brother👏👏👍

[@SeanBZA]

Nice to reinforce that bolts need the correct torque setting, especially those that keep you going in the direction you are steering for, and those that stop you. Otherwise you will be singing "loose wheel", while waiting for your cant antelope to finish destroying itself on the road.

[@mwpahl38]

Rights? What rights?..... I've been using a bungee cord for hanging calipers as of late with great success. As far as tapping that axle bolt head, yes, sometimes you want to push energy "through" the part, vs. stopping the energy "at" the part. Can't Antelope!
