- Learn how to replace your rear brakes. This video will show you how to replace brake pads on rear disc brakes. It takes 30 min to do both disc brakes and is really easy. Brake pads cost $30 and all you need are some wrenches, c-clamps, and a jack to lift the car. ANYONE CAN DO THIS!!!
This procedure will be similar on most dodge and Chrysler cars such as the dodge neon, dodge caliber, Chrysler intrepid, etc.

The old vids are still useful to this day keep killing it Chris !
Dear Chris, shop quoted me $600 for fronts and rears all around, even thought I don't NEED rotors, they say it voids the pad warranty....apparently, they are nuts, or they think I am. Anyway, this video guided me thru the process, and rear pads are on....the fronts are still thick, and I owe you big time !! THANKS !!
I am literally going from your oldest videos through all of it. I enjoy your videos and look forward to learning all sorts of stuff!
before HEY GUYS CHRIS FIX HERE was a thing
Ikr
Chris is killing it out there
and seemingly before he had a torque wrench and anti seize.
yesss lol
im just rewatching the old videos and i already miss the "out with the old and in with the new"
The key for me, being a novice was to get the simple $5 (priceless to me) brake tool. I did not have this for the first side I tried. Do yourself a favor and get this. Also remember to grease the back side of the where the clip that goes into the piston is. This will make this project much easier. This is the best video out there. Best mechanic and lighting. Watch first install after. I really appreciate the people who made this.
Cool to see old comments
That is awesome! I wish they had more diesel options here in the USA. Glad the video is helpful!!!
Great! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Omg you're such a good boy at teaching. I hope you have many kids and only let them watch educational videos (like yours) without profanity, so they can be enlightened and educate their youngsters in the future.
I have learned a lot from ChrisFix videos so far. I searched videos replacing brake pads and I had no idea about his old videos until now. Recent his videos looks nice, fancy, maintain focus and voice stably, and equip nice tools but I really like this video even he couldn't take apart the pad at once and even didn't wear gloves. Maybe that's exactly how I look like and, mayby, many people who need help from his video look like. Of course I love his recent videos as well but this old video makes me feel better. Thanks Chris!
2019 chrisfix would've had this done in 3 minutes with some ENERGY.
Heck yeah
2019 Chris Fix would have nothing to apologize for either. Brake line not "fuel line". Did you catch that? He also got grease on the pads.
videos 12 years old and still coming in clutch!
I'm glad the video is still helpful!
I came to this video in 2023 just to see where Chris started and am inspired that I can start where I am. I don't have to be perfect.
Awe, you are so consistent with your methods of teaching and with being sure that you pay attention to detail in doing so! I hope you help many individuals and continue to do the good work that you do. Love what you do.
...very funny ChrisFix in the past had an assistant but ChrisFix 2021 cannot afford an assistant 🤣😂 Great stuff Chris, you totally made TH-cam history and I love your videos! Keep on rocking it! ...and I wont call you, I promise 😁
I'm changing the back brakes on my 2016 Kia Soul tomorrow and couldn't be happier I found this video. I thought I had everything I need, but it looks like I'll have to run out and pick up some grease.
came back to watch an old video and see where you started, you've came a long way mate!
Thanks a lot man! Yea, it is amazing looking back haha.
After watching channels like yours I'm going to buy a scrapper and see if i can clean it up, thanks for the inspiration man
Thanks to this guy's videos I learned how to replace my brakes on my own car! Going to save me a ton of money in the long run, plus learned how to do my own oil changes. It's actually pretty easy if you're willing to put in the effort.
You are life saver bro!!!!!you are the best.
Every subscriber needs to watch this :-)))))))😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I had seen this back in 2012... Thanks Chris!
Thanks man this video is so helpful and quite extraordinary......my uncle taught me how to replace front brake pads but it’s best to watch your videos just to be safe😎
I'm glad you find the video helpful!
Mmm okay 16:35 all I can think about is South Park 😂 nothing but love Mr.Fix
Lmao 😂
No prob! Glad it was a good reference! It is always faster on the second side hahaha (unless something goes wrong)....
You have come a long way! As smart as u were you are a genius now with all your special tips and tricks..u were even using a scissor jack lol
Wow, it doesn't feel like a Chris fix video if you don't say HAAAYYY GUUUYS! Or soupy wordor lol. Thanks for the help
@flottagraphics I am really happy this has helped you!!! It is nice to know I could help someone change their brakes!!!!
Many thanks. I can't count how many times I've changed brake pads on various cars, including the fronts on this one. Got stuck twice, watched your video both times and confirmed I was doing the 'right thing' and just kept at it and all eventually worked fine. 60 mins for lefts, 20 mins for rights ;-)
Anyone here knows when he started starting his videos with “hey guys chrisfix here”
Actually I do brakes all the time... I like how I call it a fuel line by mistake (I think I even correct myself) and you think this is my first time... How did I use the piston compressor wrong?
Many thanks,. I live in th UK and have a diesel PT and this video has been invaluable !
With this car (pt cruiser) you have to compress the piston a little in order to slide the calipers off... I originally tried to just slide the calipers off like I do on all of my other cars but for some reason the PT Cruiser has to have the piston compressed... No matter what you will have to compress the piston when you put the new pads on though... Give it a shot without initially compressing it and if it doesnt come off, compress it... Let me know what happens!
Typical Chrysler product things. Hahaha
The old video that made me press the sub button, rewatching old bid
Going down the street to make a quick $50. If only it wasn't raining out....
Thanks for the walkthrough man.
just did my pts rear pads thanks for the easy to follow video bro greatly appriciated!
You have come a long way since this video
Haha right?! This was one of my firsts.
And a good thing to do is make sure that you have clean hands when handling the new pads because you'll get crap all over the new surface.
Or wear gloves and change them out after greasing
No prob! Glad it was useful!!!
You help me out a lot .. I save a lot of money
Hey Chris, Love your videos - learnt how to change disc and brake pads on my Audi a1 through your video's. I am thinking of changing the rear pads and my question is ' Do I need to take the handbrake cable off the calipaer to change or should i leave it on?' Obviously I will disingage the hand brake to keep the brakes loose. Thanks again ChrisFix
yes, high temp grease... most pads come with it in the box
Should be the same thing... This will work on most cars because most disc brakes are similar!!!
Thanks Chris you saved me $$$
Good job
Thanks chris
Nice early day video. U sure have come a long way!
@Tyfben Awesome!!! Im glad I could help!
You came a long way. Man
18:26 I see a mustache! Re-watching old videos, keep it up.
Taylor Bozarth think that's an eye brow.
The rear disc brakes are an option... The higher end pt cruisers have them (this is a touring)...
Ah, 2012. Vintage ChrisFix
+johnnysymphony lol #throwback
How i can get also 4 Hands?
BENCHSTAR become Alien
Great content man😀😀😀😀
good work bro
I think this is your first time doing brakes. I'm exhausted just by watching. Improper used of the piston compresor and calling fuel line to a brake fluid one. Good luck on the next one.
He's got three hands. No wonder he is good at this!
One other trick you may consider, is to avoid pushing nasty old brake fluid back up into the lines/master cylinder, you can (as you start to compress the piston) release the bleeder valve and let the brake fluid escape the back of the caliper. Make sure you don't release pressure before closing the bleeder valve, as that will introduce air into a closed system (bad)...
It's also a good idea to flush the brake fluid, but that's another vid now isn't it? :-) Good work man! Keep payin it forward!
PS. other vehicle manufacturers rear disks operate MUCH differently, and to compress the cylinder you have to "screw" in as you push. Very tough without the right tools, but it can be done.
That is a good tip thanks! It def is another video. I try to keep simple stuff simple so anyone can learn to change their brakes, but if you are more advanced and want to do it this way, more power to ya!
Chris fix just take the bottom screw out flip caliper up take pads out then put caliper back down saves time and faster
Yes and you have to have the right tools some turns left hand and some turns right hand
Chris; Please make a video that explains how rear disc brakes with
wind-back pistons work. There is plenty on how to fix them but nothing about how they work. Thanks.
Thanks for this!
No problem!
Dang Chris. I thought you had 3 hands for a second 8:40
i almost threw my phone away when i heard the line "we are gonna oil the brakes"
I don't get how clamping the opposite of the piston compresses the piston. How does moving the pad compress the piston on the other side of the rotor? I am not a mechanic. Love the videos.
Hi Chris you don’t have to change the Rotors ?
Chris you need to redo this video and bring it up to crispix standards
Reply this in 2025
Change your break pads reminder
hi Im a bit confused, eric the carguy does a 2002 cruiser rear wheel brake job, but its not disc/pads, its drum and shoe brakes, I have a 2002 2ltr and the rear brakes are same has yours, so my question is I guess did chrysler do two types of rear brakes on some cruisers,
you did a great job on your vid graham
Two types of PT Cruiser brakes in the rear. Full drum and disc with e-brake shoes in the hat. The disc brakes have a piston with self adjusting cable and a connection to the e-brake. Rear discs have pads but also an inner brake shoe for just the e-brake.
thanks for the great videos
Tony Gomez No problem! I am glad the videos are helpful! Definitely consider subscribing! New automotive "how to" videos every Thursday and most Mondays!
Useful thanks :)
Great video Chris. I have a 2001 PT Cruiser and it only has 63000 miles on it. It's in great condition, but when the rear breaks get wet it makes a very loud grinding noise. It only does it when I'm backing out and it only last for a short period of time. It feels as if the rear breaks are activating without me pushing on the break pedal. Any idea what the problem might be?
Chris I didn’t see you change the rotors is that ok ?
I wish I had seen this video when it first came out, This was Almost 10 years ago! what year did you get the pt crusier and why did you get rid of the car
Not really... just dont hit the sensor... This PT Cruiser has ABS as well and you never see it in the video because it is behind the caliper... You say "shoes" so do you mean pads or do you have rear drums?
heyy thnx it is very useful Vid , but i have 2 questions
1. is it okay if we did not bleed the fluid when squeezing the calliper back .
2, is the anti-seaze okay
As long as you do not open the system, you do not need to bleed it.
You do not need to open and bleed the system. Simply Pol off the master cylinder reservoir lid like mentioned @ 14:25.
You seemed to really struggle with this setup compared to the Fords/Mazda you worked on. Are Chryslers generally like that?
Yes! With everything!
2012 Changing the Rear Brake Pads...
2020: HEY GUYS CHRIS FIX HERE
Hey Chris, Thanks for all these helpful videos. Keep it up. Apparently my 2008 Citroen C5 has either Teves or Lucas brake system... How would I check which one is my brake system to order right brake pads.?
fuel line or brake line, it's all good, I know what you meant, lol
o how you have grown with your skill set lol all that oil greace you got on the break pad killed me a little inside lol
+rocketrambo20 haha yea this old video is def the very start of it all
ChrisFix I just want to thank you for how much money you have saved me and giving me the confidence to take on a lot of these projects
hey chris, love your videos, you've helped us out a ton with tons of knowledge. can i ask a question? im about to do my back disc brakes (pads only) on 04 chevy malibu v6 and am not sure how to handle the piston. can you tell me why others brake the bleeder valve to compress the piston but you didnt in your PT cruiser rear brake video? its my understanding the bleeder is broken so that the brake fluid isnt pushed back into the master cylinder.... just looking for some advice/knowledge to attach to what im seeing and to do correct procedure. thanks a ton ChrisFix, you RoCK
Sometimes you have to torch the rotor or drum brake I was wondering why? I also wanted to see if it clips onto the rotor when putting back the caliper or does it click?
If the caliper wont come off because of the notches on the pads you just pull it toward you by hand and then itll come right off!!
You can just unbolt the caliper then prize it off the disc with a screw driver then push the piston back with water pump pliers
2021 anyone?
2024!
I think if you have a PT Cruiser, you're probably better off keeping the pads and replacing the vehicle. :) Otherwise, _definitely_ subscribe, because you'll need Chris's help quite often.
Haha
I think the by the book way to change the brakes on a PT Cruiser is to drop the PT Cruiser off at the junk yard. 😂
muito bom
I have a question, I was driving with the handbrake up for less than 0.8 miles and I was parking/reversing. Will my brakes be damaged? I could hear some noise and sounds
Good video, I have a question. How do I know the amount of pounds that each screw carries?
jonathan toribio usually your cars Manual will have all of the cars specs in it
What year did you get your PT cruiser and why did you get rid of it
Why would you need to releave pressure in the brake line, unless you added fluid since your last break job? Don't you want the pressure to return to its original level?
oh men those kind of car is a pain to fix them i dont like at all thanks chris for the video i hop you gonna make another new videos
I changed the both rear brake and when is finished I test drive and want to chnage the both front and I see the fron disk was very hot , I don't know hot to fix that any quick answer will be wonderful
That’s probably because it is new. How hot does it get?
@@chrisfix I cut the bolt 🔩 when I open the front tire and It was so hot , do I need to reduce the oil brake or
During this process, Is any consideration given to the operation of the "Emergency Brake"? I don't know, that is what I am looking for.
How many years prior to this video did you start working on cars?
I’d imagine even at this stage you must have a significant amount of experience!
Can you do a in depth how to for converting from drum to disc?
+Mikel Cope That would be awesome! Stay tuned because that is something I want to do.
+ChrisFix thank you sir. I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma that I want to convert. I'm just not sure where to start or what kit would give us the biggest bang for the buck. I love the channel God bless you and keep up the good work
wow
This was before the hey guys
Hey guys i have a problem... i forgot which way hole the 2 slide pins go in (top or bottom for rear left and right) on a honda odyssey 2005
No threadlock on caliper bolts?
Missing :- "Hey Guys Chris Fix here" 😂
