      I was not going to say anything about this but...
      Last winter, after watching an episode where you went out to a junk yard in the rain, I ordered up one of you zippered hoodies.
      After two weeks, of looking at the Tspring sight and trying to figure out when it would show up (kept saying..in production or something) I told them to cancel the order (they charged my card the night I placed it).
      The robot answering my email enquirers kept assuring they would refund my card immediately...
      They never did.
      I like your channel and have subbed for a long time but...Tspring..or whatever they are calling themselves now are bsht.
      A $52 lesson learned.
      Keep up the good work.

    My buddy and I did a similar job for a neighbour but with an interesting twist. Same customer complaint except a front wheel. Parts cannon fired same as yours except he didn't need a rotor. Bled the new caliper and off for a test drive to discover the problem not fixed. Super hot and same smell. After a fair bit of discussion we changed the only thing left, except the rotor, the brake hose and that solved the problem. My buddy said it took thirty years of automotive experience to see another one. I have fifty years and had never seen an internally collapsed brake hose until that day. The master cylinder had enough pressure to push past the obstruction and activate the brake but wouldn't release properly so lots of heat from the friction.

Of course I am talking about how there will come a day in the not too distant future when your Jeep product will not only let you down, but it will drain your bank account to zero. True story. How do you make a Jeep go faster? Ask the Tow truck driver to, "Step on it".

    Hi, fyi: I had a break hose that looked ok on the outside. But found it had come apart on the inside such that, when you pushed on the break, pressure flowed to the caliper, and when you released the pressure would stay. It burned out several set’s of pads, before we found it. Great videos. GB from Michigan.

      If you have a foot operated manual parking break, you should be using your left foot for the break & parking break. Your right foot is for operating the accelerator pedal. If you are using your right foot to set the break, you are doing it wrong & unsafely.

    This was very informative- the emergency brake relearn was interesting- I had this on an Accord because the bumper pad that gives adequate spacing to allow return of fluid to the reservoir
    had disappeared/ when the brakes got hot the fluid could not expand so it the pressure never gets released

    It's nice how straight-forward that was. On GM's new electronic parking brakes, you have to retract the piston with a scan tool. After the brake job, you have to extend them again and calibrate them with the scan tool.

      My 21 Silverado rears are squeaking 2 dealers claim they don’t hear it…. I use parking brake daily. Is that a cause?

      Bmws electric parking brake had 2 options, one unbolt the motor and turn it in to retract it. Or 2, use a scan tool / software to call it to its service position. If you turn the motor in you just need to pull the e brake switch to set it back. If that software you have to tell it service mode is finished and it enabled it again.

      And that is completely ridiculous. These car companies have long-since wisened up to the idea of over engineering things to force the shadetree back to them and their $125/hr shop fee. I'll keep driving my old junk, thank you very much.

      Owner's manual does not tell one any more than is absolutely necessary. Ignorance is bliss for the dealer.

      There's a hack on TH-cam where you take the motor off the rear caliper and manually retract the piston with an allen key, replace the motor, then do the brake job normally. I don't like that method and think it might fubar something up, so I purchased a scan tool this spring to do the rear brakes on my 2022 Equinox when the time comes.

    A Mrs O OTD could/should be a regular feature. Although I must note we didn't get an official shoe check so there's that.

    Hi there Eric
    Musta missed this one on the first pass but thought I'd add my 2 cents anyway.
    I know working in salt country can present problems those in CA can't even imagine but consider this as reason the clamps are inconvenient to get to.
    The factory installed the fuel tank complete with the filler pipe prior to installing the truck bed.
    I always found it easier to unplug the taillight harness, unbolt the filler neck and
    ground wire from the bed, unbolt the bed from the frame and have my Josh lift the bed at the left wheel well while i lifted the right and slide the whole bed back at couple of feet and access the tank from the top while the truck is on or near ground level. .
