2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Mazda 3
I had a very difficult time removing the rotor because on the side where it mounts to the hub, it was RUSTED!!
I tried hitting it out with a hammer but it wouldn't budge. That lasted 30 minutes.
Then I used a long bolt to push the rotor outward. It worked!! Watch the video to see how I did it.

I came back to comment on this post because this trick is what saved me. I was working on a 2009 Mazda 3 front brakes, similar to this guy. I had tried the hammer approach, heating the hub, PB blaster and letting it sit with no avail. I thought I was going to get it when I did a gear puller on it but it ended up BREAKING THE ROTOR.
That's when I knew that I didn't think the hammer and heat method was going to work. I bought some grade 8 bolts, washers and nuts. The only issue is that I had to tap the threads on the bolt farther since they only come like an 1" deep. After that, I used an impact like the video showed and it worked a treat. Good job!

I love this. This is exactly how I go through with "an hour" changing brake pad and rotor procedure. Everyone told me it's a easy job and takes an hour. I would end up under the car for 1 hour just to break off one single bolt. Your video shows everything I've encounter .... except breaking the bolt. Clear cuts and no excess non-sense. No annoying music either. Keep it up.
I've been watching for a while now, not even to learn just to see what's up. You never talk lol but you're always so detailed that it doesn't matter if you say anything. Keep it up man!
Thank you Drift, i try to show what I know and share to those that want to save a buck. Believe me i tried talking on camera while wrenching and i always mess up. lol it's just better just to show what i do. i appreciate the comment. have a nice day
Kevin Martinez that's why this my favorite channel. No bullshit, just work, problem solved. 👍👍👍🤘

Good job!
Addison Elliott you are awesome Addison!! You got the job done and did not give up. Your experience just proved that this method does really work.
Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day.
That was actually very very smart now when I do hubs and if I’m trying to get rotor off I won’t have to tell customer we have to replace rotor unfortunately I never thought of that.
Now here is a real mechanic. Love this video - makes a great how-to for those people looking to work on their own brakes and yet not quite knowing the ins and outs. Nice move on the rusted rotor!
Thank you! I was in the same boat, 30+ minutes of banging, prying, cursing lol I found a bolt & nut that fit and within five minutes I had the rotor off the hub!
Welcome brother, this video helped you and I am happy. Now treat yourself to some beer. Cheers!!
This was exactly what I needed. I could not get that thing to budge! Had limited options and had to get it done. That was a heck-a idea, couldn't have finished tonight without you.
This is a great tutorial video! I love how you didn't edit out difficulty. Thanks for keeping it real. 👏🏾👏🏾
I feel your pain getting the rotors off. I actually did the same but I eventually cracked the rotors in half wacking the with a 5lb sleg hammer. Blister upon blisters.
Butter them pads bro.
That's a neat trick I've always just used my torch and heat it up then hammer and pops right off.
Datsun Z car line initially had rear drum brakes and heat always popped them off. Always used Never Seize on all drum brake jobs on the early Z cars.
This says it all. Thanks for showing the REAL way its done and not some fancy edited version. Same brakes on my Mazda 5. Hardest rotors I've ever tried to remove. Also, the bolts need to be grade 8 or they will strip and get stuck, ask how I know.
This is how I broke rear wheel bearing assemblies loose on my 02 sienna like yours. I bought 2 large bolts with 4 nuts and 10 washers and pried them out of the axle. worked great.
2 sets of bolts...avoid breaking ears of pad bracket
I just broke one this week. One ear. Mistake was using only one Bolt
Rust!? Pfff. that thing was mint ;)
Fuckin' miiint! :D
Yes it was. Try getting one off of a car that has 100k miles in Minnesota. Salt soaked every time it snows . The bolt thing does work. Bolts break. Minnesota Locktite.
That's Mazda for ya... great cars to drive, but till this day they have above average rust problems. They just don't use enough prevention on the mechanical parts and underside when producing their cars... I've seen more than a couple of 5/6 year old Mazda 6's with 50.000~100.000 that needed some serious work to either prevent getting worse or have to be fixed just because of rust.
South Main Auto Repair pretty funny.
South Main Auto Repair big nasty would have taken that off no problem. I, 2, barbecue.
i felt stupid this weekend when i could not make my rear rotors budge although i had successfuly done this on the front the week before, on my parking lot with basic tools; I know see that people have the same problem the world over; the two screw method by the back seems to be a good solution, thank you
1) unique method of using bolt to push rotor off hub 2) I've never seen a mechanic do such an impressive video editing with multiple angles and in clear focus 3) Obviously an experienced TH-cam'er with a fully documented list of steps and links in the video description. Keep up the good work and stay thirty my friend.
I don't know why but that slow motion sneeze made me laugh so hard i farted. Great video!
Joseph : At the end you should have left it as Great . I have to change my under pants again .
x-ing fingers the wheelbearing survived the initial cro-Magnon method ... :-)
most likely you get a second chance when the wheelbearing is telling you the true story.
I had the exact same headache today! I'm going to use that trick
This car has given you hard time to remove rusty never changed rotor and pads. Excellent job Angel.
Apparently everyone in the comments is a mechanic. Who knew!
These videos are entertainment for mechanics. Who gets allowed an hour per rotor for removal without a torch?
someone here needs to be
lazy mechanics, wish is why we are watching this video of other people working, lol.
@@psdaengr911 A little bit of heat early on might have helped.
Master mechanic
Thanks for making me laugh man I needed that
why u did not use wd 40
Just happened to me today on my Grand Marquis...After watching this video I will be tackling it again tomorrow using your method....Thanks..
This is a great video. Great camera angles and straight to the point. Love that there is no music or useless talking. The only thing that is interesting to me is that most brake kits come with a packet of grease that you're supposed to apply to the pack of the brake pad. I noticed you didn't use any. I would highly recommend using some brake grease on the back of the pad for the sake of lubrication. Otherwise great job and great job showing the bolt trick to get the rotor off. I was trying to get mine off but it is rusted like crazy because the brakes haven't had work done in maybe 10+ years. Car is my dad's and he doesn't take care of it.
Yes my young apprentice that’s how us mechanics change a rotor😂
Thanks for all the great videos Angel!!!
Welcome Brother!! Thank you for watching and learning from my videos. Have a nice day.
Today you inspired me to make my own first simple fix video,I screwed up a little bit but know I know for next time. You're an inspiration man thanks again
hey ever heard saying experiance comes with age to avoid all that banging and shit spray pb on it first wait 1 hour sprasy again car jacked up get a steel bar wedge it between the frame under the front of the car and the other end on the rotor go start car turn the steering wheel to the right if u r popping rotor on drivers side or turn left if rotor on passenger side turn the wheel till the rotor popps off end of story
Emmanuel Selvas que gran video no mames
Emmanuel Selvas watch chrisfix vids its better
Big respect from germany for doing that all with only one hand. Some people arent even able to change a tyre with both.
I love the idea of spreading the caliper with a screwdriver before removing them. MAny thanks!
I only let your ads play thru man. Hope it helps out a tad. Have to do this on corolla and rav4 soon. Always fun when ya snap a bolt too on the rotors.....
Seasider702 that happened to me last change one side both bolts snapped! Took a day and a half for what the other side took me 30 minutes
snapping studs is usually done while the car is in the driveway and using hand tools to take the lug nuts off. If you take them off with a power tool, they will not snap usually, compared to taking them off by hand. Currently, Home Depot has a cordless Ryobi 1/2 inch impact for $99. It comes with a charger and a battery.
That rotor was a B!+@% but use a air hammer next time
I have had luck with PB blaster
and a torch!
Glad to see a dealer mechanic on this vid instead of these other hacks,hope your neighbors stay cool with working in garage.
Thank you from a brother in the UK, I can change brakes and other things, but that was ingenious with the the removal of the brake disc...
Bless
Also, good job. Good job on preparing yourself for the next job by applying anti size to the hub. Oh wait
Did you just say "NEXT JOB"?
Hello little advice wear a mask 😷 for the dust.
I've been there with you brother. It's not easy. I just did all four of my brakes on my wrangler and needed a 40lb sledge to bust them all off. Keep on fixin brother.
Yes!!! The amount of Mazda 3 rotors I have changed and they are always like this...I hit some of them so hard i crack the rotor face off of the braking surface. I always ...always put anti seize (copper, just the flavor I keep in stock) between the flange and rotor. and half the time guys don't clean or lube the slide pins. Just because guys a shops have time limits, my shop doesn't quote on time, they slack off sometimes if they are in a hurry. Good work ( even tho the video is 3 yrs old )
How did all that rust get in the rotors if you live in Vegas?
Exactly. Them steel chunks.
Exactly. Rust in the desert? Maybe if you're parking where there's sprinklers.
Who says the car has always been in the desert? Vehicles are known to move from one place to another, it's what they are designed to do.
😒 it had a cheap metal rotor, they dont normally rust up like that
rust like that on brake parts is caused by the rapid hot and cold cycles that a rotor goes thru during normal driving. combine that with dew condensation bam buckets of rust in arizona lol
6:10 should've used never-sneeze brand
i like your videos because the way you film its right on the main task and you can see everything clearly! wish you had a drum brake video
I have the same Mazda and this will definitely help me! Thanks for the video! 👍
When I seen mazda and 3 rotor I thought Rob dahm was finally changing his brakes
Easiest way to loosen rusted rotor to hub is to loosen all lug nuts about 2 turns drive car forward or reverse in safe area and brake hard to stop. Turning steering wheel left and right while braking is even more effective. You will hear when rotor breaks loose from hub. Very easy procedure.
but what about damage to the thread on the wheel bolts?
^ the wheel studs are super strong. Backing the bolts off 2 turns won't hurt the studs in the slightest, especially if your just driving around the block.
😊 nevr heard that one but maybe
@Daver G 😊 ok i will try it
def works this is what i do if heating it, or smacking it with a hammer doesnt work. works for getting stuck wheels off too
great straight to the point true life video all relevant details shown with no raving on about his cat or his mother in law all you other fellas out there should take note this is how a video should be made !!! Congratulations from Down Under [Australia]
Good work man!, loved just seeing your blue sky n warm weather can’t wait for our days to warm up, here in New Zealand we slowly coming out of winter my old mechanic bones (injuries) just don’t like cold anymore. Started apprenticeship in 1964 I reckon you never stop learning back then my folks didn’t want me laying under vehicles but motor trade has paid the bills n taken me around the world there’s always broken stuff aye man. Even worked on aircraft when I arrived in NZ in 1974 Dakota dc3’s I believe what makes a good mechanic is determination and being resourceful. God loves you mate. Cheers from Robert in N Z 👍👍👍
Time to get your torch out buddy and you don't have to hammer that much.i don't want to think about that week bearing that took a serious beating. Lol
Marian Luc exactly that's why I said he did it in mostly the primitive way. I do router replacements sometimes and I don't need to hammer that crap outta the router 😂
You can hit it with a hammer the car takes more abuse on the road. I did this all the time never had a customer come back for 6 years until I quit
Marian Luc are you mechanic or what
Not A Good Idea on Older Lexus ES,As ABS Module is Mounted Real Close To Where All the Banging W/ Sledge Is Going On,& More Likely Than NOT,WILL PULL UP A CODE For Replacement,Sooner Than Later.
torch and lots of pb blaster. it smells good too, like a BBQ! LMAO
How come no one ever seems to use a large c clamp to retract the Piston any more? Its so much easier and often faster than messing around trying to pry on things.
David Mm
Sameeee!
C Clamp is fine when the calper is off, but not for getting the pads backed off enough to remove a rotor with pads dragging on it. As far as gett ing the pston retracted to clear new pads, you shoulkd eb bleeding the lines anyway. Crack the bleeder valve and push the caliper in with a simple screw spreader.
Because theres a proper tool for it lol
That tool is basically just a fancy c clamp. For rear calipers with a handbrake screw mechanism a brake piston tool is a good idea, but for regular calipers a regular c clamp gets the job done nicely.
David Mm, Bullshit, I used my c clamp yet again this morning to compress the caliper before removal while doing a disassemble for a wheel bearing and was saving the pads. If the pads are already junk as well as the rotor, no harm no foul.
Wow, nice solution to removing the rotor. amazed at the rust/failure of the rotor (flakes) for a car in Las Vegas.
Impressed with ur work. Didn't give up. Good camera too. Skipping boring parts
very misleading when i read "Mazda 3 Rotor" xD
I did this and my bolt bent in half. Still don’t have it off, thanks for the tip tho!
you need a higher grade bolt. like a grade 8
@@maritimezhang The crap you get at Lowe's and other places are grade 2 and once in awhile a grade 5 but it is cheap metal. Grade 8 made in US is good stuff, if you can still find them.
Nice thanks for the tip of removing rusted rotors. It will come in handy. I work in mazda 👌 get this all the time .
Awesome dude. Love it. I learned something today with your video. I really liked the bolt and nut prying trick. Thanks...great job.
Penetrating oil on the center of the hub makes a huge difference. If i see my employees beating a rotor and the is no penetrating oil on the hub I get a little irritated at them.
These seize on the outside of the hub and not the surface. No amount of penetrating oil helps these Mazda 3's
Man that was a tight bitch. Good idea of the nut and bolt.
oil will not help. i have a similar rust problem, i had to use heat touch. but nut and bolt is a wonderful idea. the rotor is going to a scape yard so beat it up
Or you just use a super duty air hammer and have it off in 20 seconds.
Use a mallet.
Most importantly, don’t use the knuckle ear as leverage. It may bend the knuckle ears...
And things like THAT are why I switched to doing auto body and paint lol
Much respect to you sir 😎
hit it with your purse next time LMAO
randy galbiati put your head there and you will feel how hard I hit it LMAO
I cant stop LOL . I feel like Peanut on Jeff Dunham .
randy galbiati 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Randy have you ever tried replacing a front rotor on a vehicle that is rusted to the hub? Mazda's and honda's, and toyota's are the worst, he is doing the proper method. I have cracked rotors off, and the rotor hat is still seized to the front hub, lol
doesn't matter what car in Minnesota. they are all like this.
Dont let Angle fix your car folks . Dont used a hammer , pullers or heat folks not even a wrong puller . and dont do what this guy had done . Make plans for a week end to do something like this . The long term is best . Prespray every part with penetrating oil and let it set , Check it once in a while and repeat until the rusted area looks wet this may take a day or two but it will work and you wont damage anything . Once it stay looking wet then you can try to tap the rotor off with a oak block and a Ball ping hammer . In some cases you may try to hit the rotor between the the lugs with a brass hammer . Hitting a rotor as hard as you can wont budge it at all. All that will do is make you mad and fk things up . Place the block against the rotor and hit on that while rotating the disk . If it still wont come loose then respray and let it set again and start gain the next day . You should respray the area once every hr just a light coats . It's just a wast if you just let it drip . You can also use diesel fuel in a spray bottle . That works vary good also . I have yet to damage any part on a car . Take it as it is worth from a A&P mechanic . If a person had a vibrating hammer @ 50.000 rapid motion at about 15 fp of torq would be nice .
Jeff Mullinix thank you for the comment. It’s nice when someone comments when they say they know what they would do in this repair. But it would great if you had a video of all your car work so the world can learn. I only see a video of you playing with your toy.
Some of my comments are from certified mechanics that mock my work. They tell me everything I do wrong. And then they tell me how great they are and how many years of experience they have. I tell them, I don’t give a shit. It don’t matter, until I see a video, their words don’t mean anything. They also say they are better than me. I never said I am better than anyone. I asked every one of them to put up their videos to show me how it’s done. Not one ever did.
So you are telling everyone that I should not fix their cars. Because you think I am doing it wrong.
You say you are an A&P mechanic, so let’s see what you can do on video.
Please don’t be like the other guys that all can talk and type.
Make those videos so you can show me the right way. Prove to me you are a great mechanic. Otherwise, don’t be commenting and have nothing to show for it. Action talks and bullshit walks. I respect your comment but you insulted me. Point is, I got the job done.
“Don’t find fault, find a remedy, anybody can complain-Henry Ford
Jeff Mullinix so... 2 days to replace some brakes, try telling a customer that. I’m sure they’d shove a 50.000 rapid motion vibrating hammer right up your arse.
You have to get nasty about this . It just proves how intelligent you really are . I been around people like you for a long time and fired a lot of guys like you in my day . That is if you ever worked in a shop . Your then kind of person that would cost a lot of damage to a customer car .
Jeff Mullinix by hitting the rotors? Please lol I do that all the time if Im replacing rotors. I'll be careful and use a wooden block if I can resurface them
Iam no mechanic. Live in the rust belt belt. 03 Astro. Rotors welded on. I put my heat gun on it for 10 min. Came off easy. That's after , spray, puller ( that broke the rotor) and a 10 pound hammer. Heat!
Your your fixing is like watching someone painting. Enjoy your work very much.
And now changing bearing
LOL and ball joints , tie rods , steering rack unit and what ever damage this might have cause latter on .
More video material I guess. For those don't have a mechanic channel don't use this technique
lol really?
take a new, unused ball or roller bearing and smack it in the axial direction with a mallet as hard as you can, preferably a couple of times and then look for peening marks on the bearing surfaces...
note that because he's hitting the edge of he disc, there's a nice lever acting on...everything...in the wheel hub assembly, all the joints and even the steering rack...
If it's not coming off because of rust, you either use heat or cut it off with an abrasive disc. Bashing things with a hammer is not always the right way ;-)
Not really...you severely underestimate just how much force does a 2lb hammer exert on a hard metal surface once it hits. It's only for a split second, but it's well enough to overcome the tensile strength even of the hardened bearing races.
Unless you drive into a large pot hole or into a curb at considerable speed, driving the car doesn't come close to the punishment that hammer dishes out.
You can put 100k miles on a front bearing and it will still feel and work much better then a new one that took a few hits from the hammer.
Just don't beat things with a hammer unless you actually want to either reshape or break them.
R.i.P. wheel bearing
😒☠️☠️☠️☠️
the wheel bearing is and will be just fine. this is the only way to do it without heat. fallback
@@brianpinkston9105 🙂 liquid wrench front and back, then later air hammer front and back
Actually a really smart way to get a rusted rotor off. Definitely going to remember this for the future
Nice job Angel, I noticed and admire your patience!
Ever bend those ears
Time for a left front wheel bearing
I had one pain of a time getting the rotors off my 10' Mazda 3. I thought about trying this method but didn't want to chance bending the mounts. What worked for me on the 2nd rotor after a day working on the first one was to use penetrating oil like its going out of style. I bought a 3lb hammer from Harbor Fright and hit it from behind for one rotation. Then spray the whole hub front and back. Repeat that process. The banging helps the oil seep into the rust. Popped right off after 15 minutes or so. The entire inside rusted rotor hub area was coated in oil.
The bolt from the back just helped me out. Thanks. Used an old bolt from a Kawasaki swingarm
Crude screw press but puts a lot of pressure where you need it.
gg, now you've beaten up your bearing, wheel aligment and probably something else also..
fishunter007 obviously you are talking out of your ass. See that axle nut?? It is holding the bearing very very tight.
You think I don’t have experience with this stuff??
I dont see jack in your channel. You are a complainer. Complain about everything. Keep fishing Mr. Bond
wheel alignment?! bahahahahahahahaha lol
ehh this is quite cringy,
1. should have used a torch to get the stuck disk off, cause's less damage to the bearings and shaft.
2. should have cleaned the brake caliper bolts with wire wheel to remove the black crap off them then grease/lube
3. should have used a anti squeal paste on the contact points of the pads / copper grease is fine if you dont have any other.
4 should have cleaned the pad carrier either with wire wheel or light file if corroded.
other than that great job, and thank god you use axle stands.
1. If you're doing your own brakes it's usually to save money so a Torch is something not everyone will have or can afford.
2. As long as they move freely and smoothly this isn't needed.
3. Not necessary but you are right.
4. Not necessary but you are right.
Although great tips! Have a blessed day!
A torch won’t remove that. If you used one it would have overheated the bearings or melted something else.
maybe if your using a blow torch but im talking about oxy acetylene which is hot enough to heat the brake disk up without damaging anything else
Reapers Merc you just lost your credibility. Oxyacetylene is almost 3x hotter than a butane torch.
Emp Ty yes I know it's hotter that's the whole point you are able to heat the disk up fast enough to be effective while not transferring to the things you don't want ie wheel bearing, cv gaiter
Great video!!! That was a properly seized rotor. I liked your great use of the anti-seize.
quite clever in deed, good to see someone do a propper "Do it your self" guide.
Btw. I have noticed that if you lube the outer edge of the hub the rust don't form as easily.
All tho, Im being over nervous about rust, so i grease the outer edge of brake rotor as well. (on the inside of course)
bye bye wheel bearing
Si st prove it. Just speculation. Read the other comments here before you reply.
I have seen many young shit grease monkeys do it and then have watched the car return for a wheel bearing
is that enough proof ?
Si st proof to you is just typing it here. Show me proof. A video please.
act your age
28 years in the trade I know what I'm TALKING ABOUT and I've trained a lot of know it all's
Si st I said please. it’s not for me. It’s for all to know. Act my age? Just stop typing and start showing. Don’t complain if you can’t correct this video. I would like to see it.
Dang brother!! Don’t get offended. Everyone here says bad for the bearing and yet none posts a video. Make it right by posting a correct video.
Stop saying your years of experiences and credentials. It don’t mean jack if you don’t have a video.
DO NOT do this! Unless you want to end up with a bent knuckle. It can cause a bucket load of problems - from vibrations, uneven pad wear, to being totally unable to bolt in the caliper. This guy does not have the proper technique. He should have used a big sledge hammer or just a heavier hammer and hit just once, but very hard to THE BACK of the brake rotor. Not the front.
If you live in canada, a rusted seized rotor is normal, so start bashing on there harder!
Grind a slot on the disc where it hits the flange ,hit slot with a chisel and BOOM the disk is off.
hes a pro you clearly dont know anything saying that shit about bending a knuckle. knuckles are cast if anything it will crack and you would need to drive off a serious cliff to see that happen a tiny hammer will do nothing ever even swung by thor.
aalright. let it be so in your head.
Rumen Hristov I doubt what he did bent the knuckle, but you are right on about only pounding on the inside surface of the rotor, I used to pound on the front surface, and then I started getting cars back needing wheel bearings.
I have the Ford focus same exact brake system so corroded so bad it took me a half a day to get the rotors off I just like you I use the never sees and I’ve changed them now since then and they come off perfectly
you work better with one hand than i do with 2. Great video
Poor safety, the car is not secured, rear wheels chock blocks not used
Voitano73 pay attention on 0:30 see me go to the back of the car? Wheel chocks on. funny how you point that out but say nothing about what is helpful on the video. I do take safety seriously.
What did i have to notice when watching those 0,5s long slideshow ? Why are you making so many cuts in video, this is so annoying, this is not MTV clip. Why not commenting video, you are adding more work with subtitles? BTW ,unbelivebly rusted brake disc
Voitano73 now that I told you there was wheel chocks you are complaining on my video editing. You are trying to find everything wrong with this video.
Leave my channel. I don’t need to explain anything to you. Not all will like my videos and I’m ok with that. You have no respect.
Yes, Im trying to show you everything what is wrong from my point of view, so you can make better videos..... If you think that it is not a good advice, you dont need to care...
Voitano73 I know how to make good videos, not great. No you are the one that don’t care, you just complain about everything. I bet you complain about every food you eat. I know what I’m doing when I do car repairs and video editing. You have a poor way explaining your constructive criticism.
You are like coming into my home and criticizing all my furniture and their placement. Go pound sand. Now you are not wanted here. Waste of time
I would never let u touch my cars. I bet he js lube tech.
Jessicataylor25 I would never touch your car s either because they are POS. Funny how you can assume I’m just a lube tech by this video. You are a very ignorant juvenile person. Tell yourself you have a purpose in this world. That is...only to criticize “how to” videos. Wow that’s a great skill. But you are missing something. You have a lack of respect. I bet you spread negativity when you are around people.
Fix It Angel this is how u fuck up a rotor and can damage your nuck video. My cars are only 2 yrs old and i am real tech. You hit the rotor on the center never on the braking serfuce. Use pb blaster next time. Snowflake
Jessicataylor25 hit the rotor in the center??!! That’s the center hub you nut. Not the rotor. Besides I replaced the rotor you nut. Did you watch the whole video? Are you kidding me?? Ya you are a real tech that answers to your boss. It sucks to be you Jessica. Why don’t you show your way to remove a rotor. So you can show the whole world how good you are. It doesn’t help just typing what you would do. Your cars are only 2 years old? Well they are still POS. You won’t know until they are over 10 yrs old if they are good cars. Dang dude. How long you been working on cars?? I’m a snowflake?? You are a fake tech. A wannabe that’s what you are. Tell yourself you are good. Only way I know you are good is “if” I see a video of you doing a tutorial.
Ur defently a lubyy. Any real tech knows center is not the axle nut it means the rotor snowflake
I dont make videos dumass cause i am to busy making money fixing fucks like u do. Now sorry time for me to go to work. Lubby
I have used that method and it does work. Thanks Angel.
you look like my stepdad hahaha, you could be his long-lost twin, i'll show him this video lol. Great video, by the way, keep it up I'm learning a lot by watching this.
Thank you for another great video. You are a lifesaver to may DIYers! Much appreciated!
Hilarious! I just went through this today. Ran out of time banging on the rotors before work. Will try your bolt remedy tomorrow!
Lots of "Never Seize" will be applied to the inner circumference of the new rotors where they mount against the inner hub lip. I believe that's where most of the rust has formed and seized the rotors to the hubs.
FlowtnWitWalden try a puller from autozone rentals
This channel just showed up randomly in a horizontal list of similar channels (all of which I already watch). I chose this video to watch because it's something I've seen plenty of times on other channels (and done on my own vehicle) so I'm very familiar with the process. This gave me an effective way to evaluate whether this is a channel I might want to continue to watch.
I was extremely impressed with the excellent level of videography, lighting and editing. Really well done! Also very humorously done, which brings the human side of this work into focus very clearly as well. :) I was also impressed with the effort that went into categorizing videos in the Playlist, something I always look at in order to followup with other videos in the came category. The only thing I might have changed is alphabetizing the categories rather than having them listed randomly. Also, if you look at something like Mazda Repairs there's a bunch of other videos which seem to have no connection whatsoever (although I'll have to check out some of them to make sure that's correct).
Liked, subscribed and commented! Thanks for a job very well done!
Thank you Rein for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your feedback. Going to try to make my channel better. Have a nice day and thank you for subscribing. God bless
Hello. I watch all your videos and learn a lot from you. I'm following you from Egypt.
I’m sorry I clicked just to watch the rotor struggle, cool idea with the bolt trick. I’ve broken a few rotors in my Mazda days
Good tip as well if you have access to a map torch that you can get at Homedepot. Head up the hub and it almost instantly un seizes a rotor after a couple minutes of heating it up.
Good video. When I did my '04 Jeep Liberty, I was banging so hard with a sledge that I had to wear earmuffs.
U can tell u work for Toyota u take pride in the work u do
THAT IS ME!!! Same problem! Seized…2 DAYS (30 min a day) beating on it! Still need to finish the job
Keep up the great work! You make great videos with efficient editing. Sometimes I cringe at the mechanic world. I feel it's an area filled with some of the most egotistical, negative, and hard headed people I have ever met. If it's not their way, it's wrong. They pickup something from someone who is probably just as arrogant as they are, and all the sudden that's the only right way to do something. Everyone not doing it that way is dumb. They are just feeling the need to be better than other people, but deep down the truth is most likely known. It seems like most of these people don't even think about what is happening and the whole picture....they have just learned a method from someone, and suddenly that is the law. This mentality is so nonconstructive it is insane. I cannot wait for this way of thinking to phase out and be replaced by open thinking minds....like it will be. Good luck you hard headed bastards. Looking forward to more videos from you Fix It Angel! I know you won't let these negative people stop you from thinking for yourself!
Love the editing, excellent video :) Subscribed!
Bought an OTC disk puller. worked very well
More anti seize between the hub and the rotor that way you can slam on the brakes and the rotor can cut those studs off cleanly and then the wheel can fall off too. hell! even put it on the stud bolts that way you can coke bottle them before they reach torque. good job ACE!
What a beautiful place to live nice and clean and tidy no rain . The good life .
real good videos ,one of the best online no yapping just showing, me too with the coffee all the time.
Great camera work. Super clear video and very funny
Great idea I’ve never come across one that was that tight tho thank Christ.
The feeling of accomplishment, priceless! Don't forget to Burnish the pads.
Great 👍🏼 Video !
If I may suggest to use a pad for your knees when working !
Damn them rust big flakes. Since, I live within the rust belt (Midwest) I am fortunate that my rotors came off but the rotors is a lot more rusty than that Mazda rotors. Unfortunately, the caliper bracket bolt was a bear to loosen up...did anger management and hope that bolt isn't stripped. Now, I have to do the driver side *sighs* and it isn't budging ( the bolt). Tomorrow the next cold day to attempt.
Great video and learned some mechanic hacks the next time I run into those problems.
Gracias Ángel por los vídeos que subes son de buena calidad y lo explicas bien. gracias
