Scotty you should mention safety more in your videos, I really like them but I've noticed you don't mention things like how brake fluid eats paint, so be careful around it, and to keep a bucket handy when draining as it's horrible for the environment. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Scotty your a life saver man! My dog chewed off my rear driver side break hose and both the filler hoses from my 97 Ford explorer and I really needed some refreshing on how to swap the hoses and bleed the breaks :) I'm jut hoping my breaks will have a bleeder screw and I won't have to use on of those suction kits :) thanks a million! Your videos actualy make a difrence trust me
@blarson12 BUT, we mechanics get lots of money fixing em, and many people like to save money. Or, don't even have much money to spend in the first place.
hey scotty, what if the brake lines aint clogged, that was the first thing i checked on my chevy suburban. the wheels pull to the right slightly. i had the alignment done and the only problem was it being out of camber. the wheels still pull
Hey Scotty.excellent video as usua l! the only thing I would add is for people to always use jack stands whenever raising a vehicle..most people would know to do this , but just in case there are some that don't. (.especially when someone is going to be inside the car stepping on the brakes ,while your under it tighting the bleeder screw.)
perfect video. A note to add. You said "have someone press on the brakes" ( while bleeding them) etc. I need to note that when they do press on it,tell them do not let up until you retighten the brake bleeder,or it'll just suck more air in. Other then that. good video. :)
Scotty, would u buy a bmw? like shown in ur video? me as a beginner mechanic my opinion is audi an bmw is good from germany, volkswagon an benz is endless money pits an junk
Thanks for the video its just what started happpening to my car it pulls when I step on the gas and when I break. Maybe one is stuck a little wish me luck
Thanks for your videos! I thought I knew a little about cars, but I learn something new with every video I watch from you. I'm saving tons! Thanks again!
What if the steering wheel consistently turns only slightly to the right side while braking, not as dramatic as shown in this video (from 12 o'clock to about 1 o'clock)? Its on e46 BMW, all stock, no accidents.
I've seen this happen hundreds of times. Most of them are caused by clamping the rubber line. This literally cuts the inner liner and creates a one way check valve that prevents the fluid from either going in or coming out. If you still have that hose I'd be willing to bet thats what happened. If you're curious enough cut it down the middle and take a peak! :)
@GraniteBees not always, it pulled to the left on that road the way it was pitched as that wheel continued to move on the left following the drainage of the road. which side pulls where is always dependant on many variables. that's why you check both sides before doing any work.
Hi, I dont know where to post a request but I wonder if you can make a video about how to install an "outer temperature-sensor" and the display in a volvo 940 ? Have a nice day
@RelentlessIntentions DOT 5 Brake fluid does not eat paint. If this is DOT 3 or DOT 4 it will eat paint. But I'm sure Scotty had a can of brake clean handy either way.
hye scot...can you show to us about component inside the caliper brakes such as pistons and etc??if the pistons inside the brakes caliper is not working properly, what is need to do??
@hafizi5689 generally just buy a rebuilt calliper assembly, they cost so little these days, it beats trying to rebuild em yourself. Let the chinese dudes do the hard work, stuff costs so little that way.
he also didnt mention that the alignment could be off. and that isnt the correct way to bleed the brakes. you have to pump the pedal until it gets hard, then open the bleeder screw and when you friend is helping you and the pedal goes to the floor...hold it there close to bleeder screw and then repeat process until all air is out.
@916MustangRacer Ah, it could also be tons of other things too. Wise Acre. I just went and stopped when I fixed this particular car. Get a life jack, make your own videos if you think you're so wise. Then I can comment on what you didn't talk about.
is it possible for something in the steering/suspension to cause a car to pull (or lean) slightly to one side when stopping? I know for sure all my brakes are good and the calipers are working as they should. or could it be possible my pads are worn down more on one side, or would that not make a difference?
Ok to Scotty & the commenters here's the deal. For as many videos Scotty's posted here it would just seem prudent to add some words and caution regarding safety. Overall the advice on these videos is intelligent from having 44 years of experience, however I add:
1. When jacking any vehicle to work on it, always support with quality jackstands, a must!
2. Generally speaking brakes line are very rusted and don't break loose this easily.
@green6234 watch my video "replacing a timing belt on your car" cause you have to remove the timing belt to change that water pump. After taking the belt off as in the video, just unbolt the pump and bolt a new one in.
@CalikingZX If your steering wheel is vibrating under braking you might have warped disc brake rotors. I believe Mr. Kilmer has a video about that also.
@trombe1990 no it doesn't vibrate when braking, it vibrates when i drive at the hwy or drive around 60-75mph. i am guessing it may be my tie rods or rack and pinion. what do you guys think?
Kilmer I don't mind that you haven't answered my Houston repair request, but why haven't you made a video about EVAP emission repair yet?, A lot of Charcoal Canisters break down, let me know.
@MicrosoftCPU3 the reason I haven't made evap repair videos is because you really need a dealer level scan tool and a smoke machine to make such repairs correctly. Without just wild guessing. And seeing that most people will never buy such expensive equipment, such videos would be useless for most people. and yes, cannisters do break down if you want to guess on an evap repair.
When I lift my car to see if the bearings were any good and as I spin the wheel it seems like the caliper stops the wheel spin freely.The caliper is touching the roter why it happens on all wheels Please helppppppppppppppppp
Just something I do FWIW... I hold down the brake pedal by wedging a crowbar between it and the seat. That keeps the brake fluid from flowing out while you work. If it'll be more than 15 minutes or so, I pull the fuses for the rear brake lights so they don't drain the battery. Although, admittedly, not a lot would come out as fast as you work!!
Awesome video Scotty! I've watched every single one and I love reading comments from people that say you are doing something wrong. Yeah like they know more then someone with 44 years of experience right? I bet most of the people that leave stupid comments aren't even 44 years old!
hey scott! i was just wondering if you had a video on valve noise? when i leave my car sit for 2 days its starts with a very excessively loud TAP TAP TAP TAP on cylinder 1, it goes away once it warms up though
hey scott! i was just wondering if you had a video on valve noise? when i leave my car sit for 2 days its starts with a very excessively loud TAP TAP TAP TAP on cylinder 1, it goes away once it warms up though.
Wow, this is weird. I had a car come in today that had the exact same problem. Trouble is, part is on back order! Had to rob a line from a stock car. I also became a Qualified Mechanic today, Yay! It felt like a long 4 years!
scotty goes too fast. thats no all there is to working on brakes . lots of stuff to know . if you dont research this issue very well. thing can go very bad . make sure you talk face to face with someone who knows how to trouble shoot brakes get to know your brakes systm and make sure you have the right tools and know how ot use them.
@wan2bvader Anyone without mechanical experience but with common sense can figure this out. Working on a car isn't rocket science. I honestly don't get what part of the video wasn't clear? Was he supposed to show you how to take the tire off as well? Or how to open the hood? While we are at it, lets make a 20 minute video on how to unlock and lock your door.
@ABC5060 how do u know its not the break? and if its not a drum break, then probably ur breaks a little wore and the little metal piece is hitting the rotor to let u know that its worn out. I had the problem and i just bent the little metal piece up so it doesn't squeak.
Hi Scotty.I didn't hear you to tell them to leave the brake pedal down till the Bleeder valve was closed has letting off the brake pedal would let air back in the system. Thank you for another find Video.Liked and added to my Favorites & playlists....Tec
good vid but something to add is once those flex lines get clogged up chances are the caliper is gummed up too now. may be good to rebuild the caliper or just get a new one.
Ive done my brake on my car (00 firebird) since I got 10 yrs ago. This last brake job, my left caliper was stuck pinching the rotor. So bought a new caliper, but issue stayed. I bled the system which Ive never done since I did the first job, and still nothing. Rotors dont look clean, like pad/rotor clean, but when I brake it dont pull to either side, and it feels like the brake are doing there job. What did I do wrong.
I'd be pissed if that was my car you just poured brake fluid all over. Old or not, you of all people should you you have to treat cars like your own. I'm assuming you cleaned it up?
Hey scotty I have a 2001 ford 7700 series f150..My motor has a nice clack to it..My neighbor told me once not knowing the truck said I have a nice sounding diesel lol its gas..Now being a 7700 series it is a 5.4..Someone told me its the tensioner for the timing belt..You ever hear of that?? or any other ideas besides stuck lifters?
I had a question my car is over heating and every time i put coolant fluid in it. It comes out of the coolant take out of the escape hose thats next to it and i check if there was leaks in the radiator and hoses and no leaks ?
does bushings involve in braking problems too? cuz i have a toyota 1983 and the brake system is new complete but still got problems and i hear a person say that if the bushings were bad the brake system will not operate correctly is this true and thanks for your amazing videos
@armenchik619 you really can't align a car yourself, even I send em out to a front end shop, as years of experience and some really expensive equipment is needed.
@scottykilmer Oh okay i understand, how much should a 2 wheel alignment cost and how long does it take to do so when I take it to a place that I know I am not being overcharged and that they aren't doing a quick, half-assed job at it? Thank you for sharing all your knowlege!
Hey Scotty I got another car question for you. I was looking for a beater car and I found a 1984 Olds Omega. I took it for a test drive and one of the problems I had found with it was that the automatic transmission lever on the columm was hard to pull down into gear and put back into park. Could that be the transmission going bad or could it just be a shift cable???
@scottykilmer i have a carbureted 350 that normally runs good. lately i've noticed it sputters here and there at any rpm while drving. it's not real noticeable but i can tell because it's mine. it also seems to be doggy immediately after each shit. if i floor board it, it runs just fine. i've only replaced the fuel filter. what could be the cause?
my car headlights dim when i park as if the throttle body is dirty , but i cannot find it, i am new to mechanics and i am not going to be pro i am not going to do any one else s car but myself, its a 2000 chev cavalier 2.2L OHV SFIand it is not on top of the engine like in that v6 honda
@FromThe3PointLine headlights dim because the alternator isn't charging, the battery is weak, or the wiring has grounding problems. check those first.
@iexploderacoons Brake fluid is not corrosive. It's full of corrosion inhibitors. If it was corrosive, it'd probably make short work of your brake lines and master/slave cylinders.
Scotty thank you so much you are basically working on my car. This is basically the same car I have! Hopefully you can do more videos on this car. It will really help me in the future.
Also my idle speed is 1000rpm is this normal for the this type of car also the same in the video? Would replacing the O2 sensor help? I have done all the things on your video about idle speed.
And I would like you advice. Which hose or line is the most important to replace? And the easiest for a novice mechanic
@Warhawk407 the hoses near the callipers are the ones that wear out first. Idle speeds vary, but 1000 is a tad bit high on most cars. O2 sensors generally don't cause high idle, watch my video "how to fix a car that idles poorly" for fixes.
@scottykilmer Also I have a roaring sound coming from the back of the car, it's only noticeable when I am at highway speeds ( 55-70mph) any clue what it can be
Scotty I got a car back in oct 11' that had the rotors and pads replaced when i took delivery, now i have absolutely NO brakes and the steering wheel shimmy is horrible now... could it be the hydraulic sys??
Scotty you should mention safety more in your videos, I really like them but I've noticed you don't mention things like how brake fluid eats paint, so be careful around it, and to keep a bucket handy when draining as it's horrible for the environment. Keep up the good work.

@ABC5060 how do u know its not the break? and if its not a drum break, then probably ur breaks a little wore and the little metal piece is hitting the rotor to let u know that its worn out. I had the problem and i just bent the little metal piece up so it doesn't squeak.

Hi Scotty.I didn't hear you to tell them to leave the brake pedal down till the Bleeder valve was closed has letting off the brake pedal would let air back in the system. Thank you for another find Video.Liked and added to my Favorites & playlists....Tec

Like any of the numb nuts complaining about a little brake fluid haven't done the same while adding oil or fluid themselves.

good vid but something to add is once those flex lines get clogged up chances are the caliper is gummed up too now. may be good to rebuild the caliper or just get a new one.

Hey scott, Im stomped.
Ive done my brake on my car (00 firebird) since I got 10 yrs ago. This last brake job, my left caliper was stuck pinching the rotor. So bought a new caliper, but issue stayed. I bled the system which Ive never done since I did the first job, and still nothing. Rotors dont look clean, like pad/rotor clean, but when I brake it dont pull to either side, and it feels like the brake are doing there job. What did I do wrong.
Thank you scott, great videos as always.

I'd be pissed if that was my car you just poured brake fluid all over. Old or not, you of all people should you you have to treat cars like your own. I'm assuming you cleaned it up?

does bushings involve in braking problems too? cuz i have a toyota 1983 and the brake system is new complete but still got problems and i hear a person say that if the bushings were bad the brake system will not operate correctly is this true and thanks for your amazing videos
zerohunter64 1 month ago
@zerohunter64 yes, if bushings are worn, hitting the brakes can cause pulling to the worn side.

@armenchik619 you really can't align a car yourself, even I send em out to a front end shop, as years of experience and some really expensive equipment is needed.
scottykilmer 1 month ago
@scottykilmer Oh okay i understand, how much should a 2 wheel alignment cost and how long does it take to do so when I take it to a place that I know I am not being overcharged and that they aren't doing a quick, half-assed job at it? Thank you for sharing all your knowlege!

Hey Scotty I got another car question for you. I was looking for a beater car and I found a 1984 Olds Omega. I took it for a test drive and one of the problems I had found with it was that the automatic transmission lever on the columm was hard to pull down into gear and put back into park. Could that be the transmission going bad or could it just be a shift cable???

@MrDantheoldsman probably just the cable.

@scottykilmer i have a carbureted 350 that normally runs good. lately i've noticed it sputters here and there at any rpm while drving. it's not real noticeable but i can tell because it's mine. it also seems to be doggy immediately after each shit. if i floor board it, it runs just fine. i've only replaced the fuel filter. what could be the cause?

@FromThe3PointLine headlights dim because the alternator isn't charging, the battery is weak, or the wiring has grounding problems. check those first.

Good thing brake fluid is highly corrosive. Glad he took great care in pouring it in... Frigg sakes
iexploderacoons 1 month ago
@iexploderacoons Brake fluid is not corrosive. It's full of corrosion inhibitors. If it was corrosive, it'd probably make short work of your brake lines and master/slave cylinders.

Scotty thank you so much you are basically working on my car. This is basically the same car I have! Hopefully you can do more videos on this car. It will really help me in the future.
Also my idle speed is 1000rpm is this normal for the this type of car also the same in the video? Would replacing the O2 sensor help? I have done all the things on your video about idle speed.
And I would like you advice. Which hose or line is the most important to replace? And the easiest for a novice mechanic
Warhawk407 1 month ago
@Warhawk407 the hoses near the callipers are the ones that wear out first. Idle speeds vary, but 1000 is a tad bit high on most cars. O2 sensors generally don't cause high idle, watch my video "how to fix a car that idles poorly" for fixes.
