Cool
Forgot to put on brake pads...
suspend the flexible line with a cord
Scotty Kilmer my brakes are new and are grinding. what should I do?
There's something about the way he does things just makes his videos entertaining and informative.
its 1 am . and am still watching i really can't have enough of learning from skotty wish college teachers were the same.
He’s like the Bill Nye of mechanics!
Are you kidding me?!?? He just throws the calibers and stresses the brake line with all that weight. That’s the worst thing you can ever do to your brake lines.
no lube for the caliper pin
("It" factor) is the expression used
to describe that trait of
an individual or group.
Scotty, you carry yourself like someone people genuinely WANNA listen too.
You've helped me so much! More confident under a vehicles hood because of you and your channel.
Keep revving those engines
When he threw the caliper my heart just stopped for a second
I see you threw the caliper away quite carelessly and let it hang freely on the brake hose, I have always been told to be very careful and put some kind of support for the caliper so that brake hose doesn't get damaged...
Dear Scotty, just a note to tell you how much you're video's are enjoyed and extremely helpful, I live in. Michigan, from Indiana was raised with General Motors.my Dad had my nose under the hood as a kid, was always going to the junkyard for parts, and I still love it, again, thanks for all your help.
You need your own TV show man, you're by far the best DIY mechanic I've seen on youtube
This is his own show
He had one long time ago
Thank you Scotty. I have been driving a 1992 Nissan Sentra that I bought used about a year ago. The previous owner took very good care of it. I have all the receipts for when they took it to the shop. There must be 50+ receipts.
I'm not that passionate about having another person touch my car though. And why pay when it seems to be so simple.
I sure am glad I found your videos. I have seen a few problems on my car that you give videos here for and I am exited to fix it up myself.
Great video! As a mechanic of 27 years I couldn't tell you how many backyard mechanics towed their vehicles in the shop because they thought they had to bleed the system just to do a simple job like that.
Lol
Kidding right?
Another tip: remove the worn brake pad and use it flat against the brake piston when compressing them back in. Just ensures an even distribution across the rim of the piston and prevents any potential damage.
Short and to the point! Brake job in 3 mins, I love it. Great channel
I replaced rear wheel cylinder washer myself. and found difficulties when re-fixing break shoes , so i got it easy by watching ur clips. thank you so much!!
A tip for some people. I followed this video after having a car worked on, There is a dust cover that covers the rotor, that the mechanic had bent up against the rotor. Sometimes bending that plate back off the rotor stops that same exact grinding. :)
I think mine may be doing the same thing
As a woman with an older model car,I just want to thank you for all your informative videos. It helps a lot when a mechanic tries to rip me off and I can just pull up your videos on my phone and show them you doing a job that takes 15 minutes when they try to tell me it's going to 2 hours(which I have had to do before). Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

This was a great video and makes it so simple!! Thank you Scotty Kilmer
Scotty I'm in houston! You are so awesome!! I hope you are eternally happy!!
Make sure to loosen your resevoir cap for the brake fluid. When you push the piston back in it can cause pressure which can pop the resevoir cap off and get fluid everywhere.
In Canada you replace the thread locker with lube so they come apart next time!
Conor Power that's the idea behind anti-sieze.
I agree. I think kilmer is wrong.
And spray WD40 on the disc.
Great and informative video - great production values - 10/10
OMG! You're something. I love how you just popped out of the trunk I was not expecting that!

😂 right?
What about lubricating the pins and putting anti seize on the contact points of the pads?
He did do that on the other video was wondering the same thing on this video though.
Never push that dirty fluid backup the brake lines,,, open the bleeder,,,
Dot 4 brake fluid should be drained and flushed every 3 or 4 years,,,. So definitely when you do a brake job,,,
@@ricksimpson2167 Open that bleeder and people will get air in the system. Worried about crud?? get a mechanic to flush your brakes after replacing yourself. Those bleeders break and air will get in if not opened properly, while applying constant pressure, and then tightened before pressure is released. This is a myth that people keep rambling about. DIY guys should change and then flush their system via a mechanic with pad and rotor changes if they are worried.
I love you dad!!! I was frealing out at the grinding noise my car was making.... Now i know what to do
Need do my brakes this is so easy to follow great videos still after 6 years your advice is helpful
He let the caliper hang by the brake line, :'-(
I have done it for years, never had a problem
pellergin I have also done it for years. If the flex line isn't strong enough to hold a 7pound caliper, there's no way it will withstand the hydraulic pressure. The only vehicles I use a hook to hang the caliper is heavier pickups like f350 calipers. The line should never be in Such a bad condition that it will leak from 10lbs tugging on it.
He did it with class.
mofoshizknack. 😂😂😂
...and then the peanut gallery comes in to defend such an unnecessarily dumb mistake. Yes, you really should hang the caliper. Takes a second, and so many variables are there in many different situations, including pinching the end of brake line against a metallic sheath. It's often much more than just a 10 lb weight evenly hanging on your brake line. At least be prepared to hang the caliper somehow. Perhaps he didn't need to in this case, but when making general-public videos, it always makes sense to show how it's supposed to be done.
Scotty. Another great video. I've got two suggestions, one you'll like and one you won't. First, let's get the one you won't like out of the way. I never use Locktite or anything similar on the brake bolts. Instead, I go the opposite route. I clean the threads and then I use anti-sieze. If you torque the bolts to the factory specifications, they won't come out and they'll be much easier to remove the next time you have to remove them. Rather than hammering on my rachet, I use a 1/2" breaker bar and socket. Here's the suggestion I think you'll like. Whenever I work on the brakes, I take the opportunity to spray the rubber dust boot (especially when the piston is extended) and the rubber dust covers for the sliding bolts with silicone spray. I believe it makes these parts last longer. I spray the CV boots for the same reason. Keeps the rubber from drying out and cracking prematurely. Please keep the great as well as humorous (Mercedes) videos coming!
i agree. i use anti sieze or if there is nothing really handy, i'd just dab the threads with a light oil. prevents rust too, specially in salty, seaside areas
I love Scotty's videos 💯
Scotty Kilmer the G.O.A.T! 🐐
He reminds me of Phil Swift for the Flex Seal commercial 😂
"I'm Phil Swift, and I built this whole car engine from flexseal tape"
On some modern cars when you force the piston back in you need a special tool, because you need to twist them as you push them in, we discovered this on my brothers kia
This is manufacturer-dependent. Even older Hondas had this function on certain models. Just depends on what you're working on.
You're right. A lot of the asian make vehicles you need a special disc brake tool set to push the piston back in the caliper. I know you can get one very cheap at harbor freight tools that will work great.
yes if you don't have anything that you can use either you can rent one from an autozone, that what i do everytime i need to replace breaks on my car.
yep mine is 86 subaru had to wrench on it
The tool isn't absolutely necessary though. a vise grip and some elbow grease usually gets it back in for me
You make it look so simple lol I did mine and found out my caliper was seized. I had a fun afternoon 🤣 on a real note thank you Scotty for what you do!!!
Gotta love that Texas weather!
U let that caliper fall down like a back of potatoes. Sorry but that is really wrong! Please try to be more carefully!
+BestBuildPC Power of imagination I saw that too :l i hope he doesnt rip some brake lines
+BestBuildPC Power of imagination also did not grease the ends of the brake pads and relube the slide pins. Those brakes are going to be noisy now.
+ThePariss333 My brakes are sticking because the people at the Warren Truck Assembly plant in Michigan used American pride instead of lube
Not this 1. I always lube everything, why ? I hate complaints & comebacks.
My brakes were doing this, so I replaced them and they’re continuing to make the same noise, it also has scrapping on the outer ring
Cristian Radical Same issue. Did you figure it out?
Did u replace the rotors?
Same here... Ughhh such headache.
Rotors are warped. You need new rotors. They’re curved, bent .new flat brakes will continue to screech noise and continue a pulsating effect when you brake at a 🛑
Thanks for the video Scotty it was a big help and now instead of a bill I've got some new tools and experience.
Thank u for all your educational videos. I learnt a lot from them.
The only thing I would recommend, mainly because I've had to replace many calipers is when you are depressing the brake cylinder the one that places pressure on to the rotor, make sure you use the old pad and put it over the cylinder and take a C-Clamp apply even pressure. If you don't you could end up bust the rubber surrounding the metal cylinder and costing you more money than you want to spend. Just a tip!
I would not compress that caliper like that, if you have anti-lock brake on it, with out opening the caliper bleeder valve, I was told one you do not want to push back that dirty brake fluid threw the system and two if you do that on a anti-brake system, you can damage the sensors in the pulsing unit. food for thought. P.S. I could not see if this had anti-lock brake system in your video but I figure if the Chevy was 1990 or newer, it did.
That, and cleaning the brake piston is also a good idea. When I do the brakes and the wheel hub assemblies on my car, I'll be changing the brake fluid and cleaning the calipers before putting in the new rotors and pads.
Scotty I always love how you appear from an openning door !
Best DIY channel so far
Scotty why don't you talk about the importance of torque wrenches? I know that most people won't get them because they might only do a job once but torque specifications are very important for parts like brakes.
You can pick up a half decent torque wrench at HF for $25 or less with a 20% off coupon. Might not be the best or real accurate, however its better than just winging it. Especially if you're working on a safety system like brakes. Nothing like having that come back on you legally.
just tighten till you hear it pop then go 1/4 turn more
@@andrewarmstrong9194😂
I changed the rotors and brake pads and im still hearing that grinding noise.
bearings
@@jerrysantos7460 Its not a clicking sound and theres no play in the tire :/
@@jasonkeelor3861 i saw this video on youtube where the guide pins for the calipers could be stuck and not letting the breakpads slide back out? hopefully that helps, if not make sure the dust shield is not in the way
@@jerrysantos7460 Already tried all of that. Lubed the slide pins really well and theyre moving freely now. The dust shield WAS scraping but i moved it off and its still making a noise. I honestly have no idea whats wrong. Ill test the wheel bearing again today and make sure the slide pins are still moving. :(
That's because you followed Scotty Kilmers DIY.
I'm new to this channel and must say, not only was that informative, precise and easy to understand, but i couldn't help but smile through the whole video.
I am to please and help all.
Scotty Kilmer my wife has an 07 Ford edge which is in surprisingly decent shape for living in salt riddled northern Iowa. Her edge makes the worst noise when in reverse only. And it's most of the time only when backing out of the garage. Say we're out and about having it off parking spot it doesn't seem to make the noise. I'm thinking it might be the e-brake sticking. If so, how would you adjust it to stop the noises? Any suggestion is helpful. Thank you very much for your help and time.
please ask questions on my website www.scottykilmer.com But one time here, If it only makes it when moving, then remove the rear tires and check back there for either worn pads down to the nubs, or sticking e brake. if e brake sticks, then lube the cable with Wd 40 and pray it's just corroded and that frees it up.
Scotty Kilmer i apologize for asking questions here and ty for the suggestions.
Thank you for actually making the noise!!
Scotty why did u throw the caliper? Kinda sloppy ey
doesn't that cause problems? i was wondering the same thing
***** yes you can damage the brake lines. never let the caliper hang as well as always use jack stands.
Dusty Gepner
as I've said a thousand times, brake hoses use 1500 plus psi, so they are VERY strong. If they are cracked and worn and brake apart when doing a brake job, they would need replacing anyway. Strong ones could hang for weeks with no damage.
I'm with scotty here. You can hang the brake caliper by the brake line all day long. I drove 200 miles with my brake caliper literally hanging by the brake hose hitting bumps and everything. Didn't break or leak or anything.
XBaneyX How on earth did you drive 200 miles like that? lol
lol I had a really cheap friend that drove around with a rear brake that was down to the metal for like 6 months..he just sprayed it with wd40 or equivilent to make the scraping not so bad loll
If your friend went to long like that he may eventually have to replace more than just the pads and the rotor. Especially if the metal backing to the pad gets thin enough to fall out and the caliper piston or the pad holder is pushed into the rotor.
He was risking his life and that of everyone else around him. For the small amount he'd spend (less than £50 for the parts in my case) and an hour of his time, he could've replaced the discs and pads.
i love this guy best teacher
you are the man scotty
i just saw this guy, he looks kinda creepy, but i like him :D
+Viktor Kolev you have a half naked man's body as an avatar, I find that odd myself
gread videos man, nice clean advices. Subbed.
+Viktor Kolev yeah- Um, why does he have a half naked guy as an avatar and saying Scotty is creepy? Hey Victor- time to change your picture bro THAT is creepy.
u mirin
Viktor Kolev is that slang for something?
at 1:10 you take the caliper off and just swing it to the back, hanging from the hose...and that's after 46 years of experience? Not sure that's a safe bet on old brake lines....especially on a general video for others to learn how the change pads on any car, old or new. Not being critical but it would seem to me that prudence would of utmost importance (safety) when describing important details of car maintenance.
HA, if it were that bad, good thing if it cracked and leaked, it would need replacing then. Those hoses hold thousands of psi pressure, a little hanging does NOTHING to good ones.
AffordBindEquipment My mechanic said it's actually not a big deal for the caliper to hang from the brake line. But I still make sure there's no pressure on it when I do my brake jobs.
@@Sammyhale30 the outer appearance may look together and intact but the inner piece is a very small plastic tube and you wont see it if it cracks or splits open
@@aperson6832 you may think it's okay, but inside the brake lines are very small plastic tubes that the brake fluid flows through and youd never know when it cracks or splits open
Good Stuff Scotty....Silly but a good educator!
Scotty's the best!
this whole procedure is flawed!!!
woww I just realized he didn't even use jack stands under it either... Scotty I really don't wanna read about why your channel ended because a car fell on you man..
jefftc14 you don’t go under a car to do the brakes. No need for axle stands
very informative and usefull. greatings from Norway!
Great video Scott, I enjoying watching.
Thank you sir for passing on your knowledge 🙏
I’m just now finding about your channel and I can say faithfully I watched almost all of them
You have the best videos!
thank you sir, great work
Thank you I love you so much you are the best mechanic on earth you explain things very well and put people in mind at ease
changed the brake pads and rotor a month ago. Thanks for the video....even though it was too late for me.
Thank you Scotty!
great break video you're the king of TH-cam did cqr fixes

This guy is awesome!!!
Thank you Scotty
Great vids ... keep 'em comin'
Got to looove Scotty 🤣💕👍
Hello Scotty. I always die to wait for your new viddeo. Thx a lot your work for helping people fix their own car. This video is also really helpful. But I think it is better to add the things to be considered. I think it is better to add that pushing brake pedal a few times after finish the job. Anyway I always thank you for your job. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Thank you soo much for this!
good to see the jack stands in use.
You are just amazing Mr. Scotty!!!‼️‼️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🌊🌊🌊🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
I love the channel.
And the Scotty Cranmer Channel too
good job, very interesting to watch!
I notice how in every video there is a new car in the intro. I wonder what his neighbors think when he does a burnout, haha. Awesome videos~
I love this man
I love your videos
This video is amazing
I just got through doing the front brakes to my car last week. It was a fairly simple job. No grinding brakes.
Helpful asf
Hi Scotty, I have a Honda 1994 sr4 eg9, about 2 weeks ago I heard a similar kind of noise to the brake pad grind, or brake shield and rotor making contact, however the noise went away, yesterday I heard it again for a few 100metres then boof it was gone.
I love your channel 😁
I love this guy
This guy's the best 👌
