  • here is a good tip for you if you are just starting out about cars. if you do any maintainence yourself that requires you to take off the brake caliper(if u have disc brakes) DO NOT let the caliper hang by the hose like he did. it can damage the brake hose and they can be a pain to replace. trust me when i say that brake calipers weigh a lot more than they look.

  • I noticed that while you're doing this you're letting brake caliper hang by the brake line and the CV joint haning without being supported. These things you may want to hang with some thing such as zip ties so they arn't damaged. Brakelines are easily damaged when letting the caliper hang on them and if the CV joint gets bumped it could make fixing your vehicle much worst off!

  • I like this guy, he may have not hung the caliper like you should but generally speaking he is a very good mechanic and an excellent instructor. I almost always look for how-to advise on this channel and I always find him to be clear, concise and well spoken. for the average person with an average set of tools you can really cut down on your auto expenses by learning from him. Side note; I'm sure that the people who are negatively bashing this this guy have never made a mistake before...right?!

  • being a CCTV operator, you could use more lighting on your videos.

  • aint shit wrong with my monitor trick. you can see it great cause your all up on the damn thing.. so fuck off your video is useless

  • @TheFhernan123 get a better monitor. i can see it great.

  • i dont think your supposed to let the caliper hang like that at 0:53

  • This was lame. It's dark as hell and he removed 2 17mm bolts. Wow.
