 it looks almost fake what's wrong well the view needs new brakes and calipers and no calipers yet rotors rotors brakes and rotors okay now why does it need rotors because you say so because i told you to wait a little bit on the brake pads and now i ran it down to where i ruined the rotors sorry okay so i told you we can spend $50 now or 250 in a couple weeks and you asked me if it'll you know you actually said it'll it'll make it through winter didn't you yes as you can see guys there's no snow sun's out trees are green grass is green what is today it's the second day of fall what is today i don't know the date september 25th september 25th okay now that being said how long did i tell you it was gonna last not long a couple weeks at the well they don't know when we had this conversation yeah you said fall the latest okay called it by two days right yeah you did i said it's not going to see october i said it'll be lucky to see fall yes you did yeah so what'd we spend uh almost 300 dollars with everything yeah 250 just in parts yeah about 240 just in parts i had to buy a couple tools but yeah now back here and there they are there's the brake pads up on top and there's four rotors brand new there's our brake fluid we've got the seat uncovered because why the battery went dead brand new battery yep but why did go dead i don't know something was left on we've been having trouble electrical problems yeah we had a bad electrical problem took me a week to straighten it out and apparently something is still running when we shut the car off she didn't leave anything on everything goes out everything shuts off that we're aware of but there is still something draining the battery apparently so yeah i'm pretty sure i think i might have an idea what it is but so anyway we're going to first of all then what happened on top of everything else yesterday when you came to get me at work on top of the grinding that we knew was going to have to fix oh the brakes wouldn't work what happened they went out why i love talking to women about this i don't know why the brake line went broke the brake line went broke yes it broke okay a blue brake line yeah so we had to put a new brake line into everything's going wrong with my my nice little Buick all at once it's got the Buick measles it's 16 years old it's a 2000 was actually built what july of 1999 which put it the new model for 2000 so 16 years old and she wants to drive it and when i say these little problems need taken care of it can wait yeah certain things can't wait can they no they can't why not uh because it costs too much when you wait so we could have spent 50 bucks a couple weeks ago for pads and 30 bucks today on a brake line or we could have spent almost 300 which we did we chose poo bears roll yes we did ice screwed up once uh once again yeah it's that stupid minion shirt you got on there i love minions and not stupid okay well i'm going to videotape some of this you know show you guys a little bit what what goes on but first we've got to put the brake line on and then we're going to get started on brakes and rotors all four of them huh all four wheels yep we are and that way you'll see it's not that hard you guys can do it yourselves at home if you have any kind of mechanical aptitude you know do it yourself for it's no big deal on something like that but uh so anyway we're going to get started and um so that's there's our parts that top one that's you know the main thing you got to have you sure i thought the miller highlight was the main ingredient you had to change brake yeah the thing on top oh okay are you what are you okay i am i said the thing on top oh hey youtube what's on top all right what are you giggling for i don't know this ain't funny yeah you hear me giggling no that's because i'm trying not to laugh the camera is probably shaking yeah all right so what are you going to do tomorrow we're going to go on a boat ride with some friends so we'll probably get some video that share that with you guys you know we like to share everything we do and pooh bear is going to catch the biggest fish on the boat tomorrow anyway we've heard that before well it's going to happen one of these days it's going to happen i'm going to get the biggest fish i don't know when you got to have the boats he's got it docked at one of our local lakes where i'm originally from and i figure what he's going to do is one more outing with it before he has to get it out of the water so but anyway let's get started on this all right pooh bear i'm out for now all right uh she bear i'm gone for now we'll get back with you thanks all right bye pooh bear is behind the camera this time live or not i just opened the beer i don't know what she had she was up a little earlier than me so but anyway uh i wanted to show you something you too here's our new um brake pads these are off the back these are the ones that was really giving us the problem i've already got the brake line changed i spared you i spared you that because it's uh hard to get up underneath the car when all i have is a jack so i didn't have the car jacked up if i'm going to clear under it because i'm on the street and i don't want pooh down there with me uh if we was in the garage i would have done that for you but can you get a good view of this okay now here's the new brake shoe here see how thick that is there getting a good view of it see how thick that is there now here is the old one of the same shoe the camera picking it up now you go talk to me now as you can see that little lip right there let me get a pointer right there is all it had halfway up but this is metal here this is that part now as you can see how shiny that is that's metal and that's all the gray stuff is all the pad has left on it so now that being said i showed you that to show you this now a lot of you are going to say well it's a little rusty clean it up or have a turn number one yes you can have them turned and i'll get to that in a second this one we couldn't and i'll show you why here in a minute but yeah it doesn't look too bad there's no real no grooves there but that's not the piston side the piston comes out and pushes this pad up against that and then the outer pad is like this so it kind of cocks it in a way you'd never see it and you never feel but that's kind of what it does it's so on you but let me show you the back of this thing now if i take something smooth and run across here it hits getting a good view of that honey see how that's hitting that now on this side it doesn't see how it goes right straight across there this side it does it hits that's how far down in this car ran with the brakes grinding what was it one and a half weeks yeah one and a half weeks so there i mean look at that that's not i mean that don't even want to fall off you know it's and look at that that's it's just grinding metal to metal and that's that's a bad noise now another reason as you can see look how thick this one is and you take something straight straight across straight across that big deal now if i set this down here on the ground i don't want to set this on the corner now prove there can you get a shot of that right there now if you go across here this has already been turned once you go across there it hits that it hits the other one see if i bring it across that drops down see that so this has already been turned once anymore people can go out and buy these things what were they 40 bucks a piece yeah what's it cost to have them turn depending on where you go where you're at understand but around here it costs 30 to 35 dollars to turn one of them and i got brand new ones for 40 so if you really need to save money that bad i can see it but this if you took this into a credible shop that if you can even find them some places don't even turn these things anymore because you buy them so cheap it's kind of a waste of their time that's why they have to charge so expensive because it takes a long time to do this it probably take you know 45 minutes to do just to turn this but if you have that turn not only was it turned once it already had stuff taken off of it now by the time you get this to match this and then run it all again to where it's smooth like this and you get your cross cut if you see these are cross hatchings now the the gear heads know what that means like inside a cylinder when you hone a cylinder put new rings in it's kind of like that now this is dirty of course i'll clean it up always clean your parts before you put them back on now the front okay you can come up here one the front brakes are a little easier than the back brakes on this one because like i said it's four wheel disc now the back brakes uh is what your emergency brake your parking brake works off of it works off of a cable now in order for that to happen it's got a turn a little something like a screw inside there and that's what pushes your uh brakes out now in order to adjust your brakes on one of these cars you don't get under there with a spoon like you do the drum brakes what you do is every so often get in put your emergency brake on a couple times and that's what adjusts your brakes out so it's always good to use that and make it functional especially when you have this because if you don't they're not going to adjust right uh they can hang up on you the front one you just push the piston in you just squeeze it back in with the c-clan uh the back ones you can't do that because like i said as it screws and that screw comes out and brings the piston out how you're going to get it back in you actually have to turn the piston with a special tool now i'll show you that here in a few minutes you actually have to screw the piston back in now you got to watch now this Buick it will go righty tighty and lefty loosey on a Pawniac say for instance a grand am i know they spin out or spin back in backwards so they're left handed you turn them to the left as if you was untightening a bolt to get it to screw back in now that's very important i'm telling you this because if you go the wrong way and you pop that piston out you can get it back in but you're going to have a problem that's going to leak so now you either got to buy a rebuild kit which just really involves a boot and a rubber o-ring like looking like thing that's your seal or you got to get a new caliper so watch which way you start to turn that and if it's starting to come out on you especially when it's this far out to begin with stop go the other way real slow when you see it going in then you go ahead and spin it in but i'll show you that here in just a minute okay youtube this is what i wanted to show you this is the piston all right now in order to get that to go back in you can just push it in like you can on the front one because like i said as it the how these adjust is they actually this stay stationary and there's a little screw in there each time you set that emergency brake it turns that screw just a little bit and that's what makes this eventually come out now in order to screw that back in you can if you're real careful do this with a pair of channel locks i've done it but you have to be careful you don't want to rip this boot this is a dust boot and as you can see it's doing this job okay now in here you see it's a little debit now there's different kinds some of them have four some have two this has two and what you need for that now they make a nice tool for this it's like i don't know around 50 bucks or something maybe cheaper depending on now but i've got this one can you see that i have got this one and i bought it for like five bucks it will fit any car i've used this on foreign and domestic it will fit Subaru's um but this is the one i need because if you look real close here um if you look real close here that's the one i need see that curved part right there on the edge i'm trying to do this because i i don't want to put you on the tripod yet see how that's curved right there see how that's curved well if you look in here that's curved so you want to find one that closest fits this now i'm going to put you on the pod well Pooh Bear's right here maybe she wants to hold this for me if she can i want to have you come up like right up here okay kind of down like this okay okay now this is what you want to do you want to make sure i want to try to do this without now this one like i said screws in you want to make sure you've got those in the right position and and and memorize where this goes to because that's where your brake pads it's going to have the same indentations for to keep the pads from doing that number so i'm going to show you here this is what what you got to do now you got to try to hold it and turn it at the same time i can't get my hand up on top because i'll block the camera and i really want to show you this this is this because a lot of guys will get on here and try to squeeze them in and you can't i don't know if i can get my and a ruin so all right now once they get going they will go there it goes see it now as you can see like i said if you watch this right here see it going back in see you can see this going into that rubber you're good now if you see it coming away from there that's when i said stop because that this piston will actually pop out and and it's real hard to get back in to begin with and if you deal with old parts you're just going to have a problem so you want to what you're going to want to do is screw that like i said this is junk one anyway but it was five bucks and we've used it several times just not on just not only our car but other cars so you screw that all the way back in until it's flush until it's flat across here see you just keep pushing your boot in and like i said that's just a dust boot however it is very important because without that and you go to do break time breaks the next time you're going to have pits there and once you push that piston in it's going to break that seal or it's going to have burrs and it's going to cause a problem with that that seal that's inside here and it's going to start leaking on you and then once it does it's it's not only you're not only going to lose your brakes but if you even if you catch it in time it's going to be all over your new brake pads or even decent brake pads that are still good to go for another year and that will eat them up so then you're looking at more problems so make sure you do this right guys i can't stress that enough now i'm about safety but as you can see go ahead and show them poo bear what i've got going on here i am on the street do not ever do this don't ever do this um it's it's very dangerous if you have to like i have to right now you don't have a jack stand you don't have a block if you have to once you just get it enough just a half an inch off the ground just to where your tire comes off and do not under any circumstances get your body your extremities i know i do this is for purposes only for this video but please guys be safe i'm not showing you this because i'm i'm trying to be tough this is stupid i'm being stupid but if you got to do it like i said don't get it up any higher than you have to and if you can't even set it clear down on the jack but before you start any work shake this car grab a hold of it shake and push it because if it's going to fall that's when you want it to fall not when you're under here working please again do not ever do this at home i have to i have no choice but back to this now this you'll know when it it'll stop it'll get tight when it's all the way in don't over tighten it because you don't want to strip that screw that's inside there out it's not a bolt is is actually a screw um and just go until it doesn't want to go anymore now you may have to back it off to line these up which is fine but because it's only going to have to go a little bit so let's see how far it's going in and if you don't screw this in there what's going to happen as you're not going to get your brakes on it won't fit that's going to be out too far okay now i am getting pretty close so what i'm going to do probably now i've got a little bit more line that up right there and i'm going to try to put them on about right in there what i'm going to do is put it on if they fit that's good now once you set your brakes up once you do your brakes front rear and everything whatever you're doing or if you're just doing the back make sure you get in use your emergency brake four five six seven ten times whatever just to be sure and that'll adjust it out to where it should be now the front ones all you got to do is pump your brake pedal four or five times and it'll come right up this you it's not going to matter it you've got to use the emergency brake pedal to to adjust these back ones because there's they're not adjustable like they used to be with the drums and everything you can't just get in there with a screwdriver and turn a wheel and adjust it that's why it's important to make sure that these work these emergency brakes work so i'm going to i'm going to get back i'm going go ahead and get off here for now and i'll get back with you in a minute what are you doing poober i'm riding a horse look my feet don't even touch the ground that's just too adorable there's a big seat look at my pumpkin that's just too cute box of bees be careful when opening all right i'll go open it that's funny somebody's got a good sense of humor that's funny
