Fixing Brakes That Pull To One Side

Scotty Kilmer, mechanic for the last 44 years, shows how you can fix your car's brakes when they pull to one side when braking. It's a lot easier than you might think checking it out.

This is why i get a mechanic to fix my car, because its a pain in the fuckin ass.

[scottykilmer]

@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.

[blarson12]

@scottykilmer So your point is?

[scottykilmer]

@blarson12 that's why I make these videos to make it easier for people to fix their own, you should take a course in inferring.

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

[scottykilmer]

@tomtrek1986 then odds are the callipers are bad and sticking IF the alignment was done correctly.

@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.

@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.

i use lucas too its good stuff, Scotty i didnt see any jack stands under that car. Please use them before you get under there.

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
