  • To be safe, I just put my mother in law in the car. Due to her constant nagging im unable to go 10kms less then the speed limit.

  • Holy shit really?!?!?!

  • @NutsandGuts you tell bike manafaturers that, and they will give you sales figures...

  • Very few street cars have the fixed disc brake system that is illustrated in this video. Instead most street cars use what is called a sliding caliper where there is only one piston and the caliper moves on a set of pins to apply force to both side of the rotating disc. The fixed system is only used in high performance street cars such as a Corvette and European sports cars where the extra force and cost of a fixed disc system is needed or economically viable.

  • @jeffrey71028 Those are the brake disc pistons. Take a brake pad and a C clamp and put the brake pad against the disc pistons and beging to clamp (evenly) so that the pistons are realigned with the disc.

  • 0:04 the red part of my disc brake pops out so i cant put my disc inside the brake, (wont fit) does anyone know how to fix this problem?

  • @salemcripple pt2, This is why the drum brake cylinders only need to be on the order of maybe 1" bore, and disk brake cylinder bores are easily 4x that. The down side is that they fade easily, aren't as reliable, and are harder to maintain.
