How to fix car brakes for good

[Mzchynaray16]

I just change my brake on 03 ecsalade, now the brakes are squealing. This was my first time changing brakes on my own. Now they are squealing and thats not cute, please HELP!!!!!!

[irszgatti]

@Mzchynaray16 -- sometime new brakes do that because of contaminants on the new parts. This can range from grease to silicon etc... brakes must be clean during installation. The chemicals can burn off during use and cause hard spots leading to squealing. Some brakes require a 'burnishing' process, involving succesively harder stops to 'break in' new brake material. If you are in doubt go see a pro, or start over and discover the problem. It's cheap entertainment :)

i was looking to fix disc brakes on a bike but this video is so interesting lol

[irszgatti]

@drippinblood28 - the torch is basically a mini-barbeque propane cylinder with a "torch tip". ask at the hardware store. Vice-grips are 10.00 dollars at the hardware store.

[drippinblood28]

@irszgatti yeah i know, i actually got the vizegrip for some other stuff but the torch tip is really too much

thanks a lot for a very refine tutorial. regards.

Hello, very nice and well explained video. I have a question my cars' front right caliper makes a weird noise like something is loose and stops doing it when I apply the brakes. I've checked it and it seems like the piston contracts too much after applying the brakes.When pressure is released the piston goes back too much and the caliper moves loose. why is this caused?

[windhammer357]

Can you tell why my brakes pull to one side when I apply them

[irszgatti]

@windhammer357

As a means of giving an example of brake related "pull", you could have a siezed caliper, or the pads themselves could be seized into thier guides, or you could have a collapesed flex line/kinked brake line. So many causes in fact, I suggest you let a pro inspect for a real diagnosis.

thank you man. i try to do some stuff on my car myself and i have changed my front rotors and pads 2 times allready. lately i am noticing that my steering wheel shakes when i apply the brake, on high speed like above 60. what can be the problem? and can u do some video on it as well plz. thanks and good luck

[irszgatti]

@nbayarmagnai -Late reply I know, but for the sake of answering: Shaking in the wheel with the associated vibration of the brake pedal indicates front rotor warpage. Vibration in the pedal without sterrwheel shake indicitive of rear rotor/drum warpage. If the rear brakes are bad enough though it will shake the whole damn vehicle. Check them. For the front, ensure quality rotors and NO RUST on the hub. uneven surfaces cause runout. :)

[CheChoELCHELO]

dude make more video ur explain things very well

[irszgatti]

@CheChoELCHELO I appreciate your comments. I think I will do that.

[nccamokid]

my rotors on my 96 subaru are rusted horribly and honestly im 15 and am fixin my first ever car, can i save em or should i get new?

[irszgatti]

@nccamokid the price of aftermarket rotors these days saves you a few trips to have you rotors machined. They also perform better, disapate heat better, and make the car safer.

[epopmedia]

hey are doing any other videos

[irszgatti]

@epopmedia i've been quite busy but theres plenty of time in the future :)

[1dlesniper]

Excellent video.

Just a quick question though.... My front-drivers side brake is making noise (hissing/buzzing). This noise is not constant and stops when I apply the brakes. Any ideas on what might be the cause?

[mikelsok]

Great video very informative. I have a Ford Focus and if I don't drive it for say three days the front brake pads are stuck solid to the Rotor presumably rusted on. I have also noticed vibration when braking from a high speed, its ok at lower speeds.

The discs and pads were only replaced about 12 months ago, and the mileage since replacement is about 3000 miles.

I guess I need to strip them down and clean of all the rust????

[irszgatti]

@mikelsok Sometimes you just just gotta make the choice and buy a loaded caliper for both front brakes. Concider the amount of work that hydraulic system day after day. After a hundred thoughsand miles you know longer notice just how badly degrading the braking performance is. The corrosion you speak of with your brakes would be on the pad guides, meaning the stainless clips are likely either missing or corroded. Its costly to do pads/rotors/calipers at the same time.. but worth it

lol @ 00:27 sounds like he says

"now on this particular shitty Malibu"

i hate chevy

[AutoStudent4Life]

u'v been caught hanging a caliper by the brake hose

[irszgatti]

haha good eye. Luckily GM calipers like this one weigh next to nothing they are so light... but all the same your right!!! I shouldnt do that.

[HydrauIics]

cool video, i really wanna become a vehicle mechanic i work aircraft maintenace right now and its cool and all but just too much

[irszgatti]

automotive mechanics have such a wide pay range depending on your skill set. many times though you only need fundemental knowledge because I large part of sucess in the trade is being able to get the information you need and apply it. When it comes to ever changing electronics you simply learn as you go and it's really not that difficult.

[HydrauIics]

yeah i hear ya, as long as you have a manual or someone showing you,  you can pretty much do anything

[henrijs]

thanks, useful and with attitude. keep on producing!

[801tutulik]

Very informative. Hey buddy I have a 97 F-expedition and it has new battery and new alternator but the problem it won't start there's power but no start can u please tell me what the fuck is wrong with my truck is it the starter or something else?

[irszgatti]

take a wooden dowl or anything like that and hold it to the starter, tapping on the dowl with a hammer.. dont smash the christ out of it but joslte the thing while somebody cranks it.. the solenoid or the armneture itself could be stuck.. that might free it up. Us a volt meter and touch the starter terminals with the positive lead with the key on, make sure power is at starter... if not, check the starter relay and ignition fuse..

[BillyInnes]

great instructions very specific good editing.

[3xut]

Wow very informative .Thanks Mr Brake man lol.You rock ..

[scott21992]

sometimes the rotor is attached to the hub by a hex head(allen key) bolt, so be sure to check before trying to hammer the old rotor off, watched a guy do this for a few mins before

[larrymoua]

FUCK! Finally! A helpful video. Stupid fucking expertvillage can kiss ass to this.

[irszgatti]

right on

[edyman87]

Can you please do instructions video on how to clean brake drums or replace it? I find brake drums more complicated then disc brakes.

[irszgatti]

absolutely, i havent done a how to in a while... you should subcribe and you'll know when its up... thanks for watching, i'll be sure to make a nice one for ya

[scott21992]

expertvillage is alright, ttheir only problem is that they split videos up into 5ths or something and its a pain in the ass to find em

[marcandreviau]

i agree! i just bought a cheap car with low milage and i always wanted to learn some mechanics. im too poor to get to mechanic school for now but i will. till then, thanks a lot for the tips!

you kick ass irszgatti!

[perssoh1]

A really good instruction !

Thanks

[docfate]

Dude! You are the man.. never a dull moment.. Thanks for the info.

[xtreme0001]

AWESOME! not a dull moment.

KEEP IT UP!
