Really well done video. Appreciate it more than any others I've seen. Replaces easily but now having hard time with loosening rusted bleeder screw. Just can't be easy!
@@motorcarnut mission accomplished. Both passenger and Driver's side done. Now I have to address a leaky exhaust manifold. I'm thinking of going to stainless shorty headers.
Thank you for the video. I have a 2010 f150 that was dragging on the front passenger side. Replaced the caliper twice and it was driving me nuts as no one had an answer other then a bad caliper. Replaced hose and bam, no issues. Good work and good video.
Great explanation. I always do my own brakes, last time I replaced a brake line was a long time ago. I will be doing again hopefully tomorrow. Your video is a great help.
There is a hole in the bolt that screws into the caliper holding the rubber brake line on. Doesn't that hole have to line up to the hole in the hose to let fluid flow properly into the caliper?
Why buy a hose with a bracket when the brackets are already there?? I'm asking because I need mine changed and there's a price difference, so I was wondering if it was a must do thing .
I hear what you’re saying but the bracket on the one I changed came with it and it’s pressed on the hose. See if you can take your old hose off the bracket then just install the new one.
Your best bet is to install the bottom hose on the caliper first then get ready to install the top fast as it does dip out pretty fast but you have plenty of time if you do it this way.
@@motorcarnut I'm in the middle of this job and that is literally the only part I had trouble with lol the nut on the hard line didn't spin, so I had to spin the entire caliper to get the hose to tighten on, i should have had the new hose off the caliper, and now I'm trying to figure out how to get the bracket to line up without snapping the hardline, why not show this entire part? It's like mechanic egos get in the way and they refuse to show the only difficult part because they may have struggled a small bit. I almost snapped my hard line lol its like everytime I youtube something for my truck I have this exact same problem.
You sound frustrated, if I left something out it wasn’t intentional, I can’t record every moment and sounds like your hose was maybe rusted or you are using the wrong tools? Plus I don’t know what you are replacing on which model vehicle. Just a hose like in the video for an F150?
@@motorcarnut @Motorcarnut yea I was frustrated, it's just my luck, almost all the jobs I've done, I have trouble on the exact spot that people skip in the video. You recorded everything, but skipped the only part I needed lol but I get it. Yea it was the same brake like you were working on, 2011 f150 The hose connection from the caliper to the hard brake line, the connector on my hard brake line was frozen in place, you didn't mention any special tools for this part, so I had no way to get it on without twisting the entire hose on to the frozen hardline, and of course since the instructions were to put the hose on to the caliper first, I'm over here with brake fluid going everywhere and I'm trying to get the threads started between the brake hose and brake line by spinning an entire caliper in one hand and holding the connectors in the other lmao. It was a shit show. It's just bad luck on my end, I prep and prep, but it's not good enough haha

If you didn’t get it loose try using penetrating oil and let it sit awhile. I know sometimes you have to replace more than necessary.
@Motorcarnut I finally took a torch to the caliper then cooled the screw and it came loose.
That’ll do it.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you sir for being straight forward.. excellent breakdown 💯💯👌🏽💪🏿🙏🏾
No problem! Thanks for the comment!
Getting ready to do this job, It's always nice to get a preview. Thanks for this video.
Hey, no problem thanks for the comment!
@@motorcarnut mission accomplished. Both passenger and Driver's side done. Now I have to address a leaky exhaust manifold. I'm thinking of going to stainless shorty headers.
Great! Stainless is a good choice. They last longer and look great.
Everything I needed to see u kept out of the frame of camera lol
Like what?

Glad it helped and thanks for the comment!
Lol I'm in th3 same boat right now. Changing the flex line today
Hopefully it fixes the problem
And me as well it's never common for the hydraulic system to be faulty i am praying 🙏
Good luck!

Thank you, glad it helped
Good video. Thanks. Did you bleed the front driver only?
Yes, and that’s fine as long as your brake reservoir doesn’t go below the low mark and suck in air.
There is a hole in the bolt that screws into the caliper holding the rubber brake line on. Doesn't that hole have to line up to the hole in the hose to let fluid flow properly into the caliper?
No, the inside of the hose where the bolt goes through has a 360 degree channel so it doesn't matter.
Great, Thank You!
No problem
What is the name of the hose line your holding at 1:51 is like a vacum line ?
I think you are referring to the ABS sensor wires
is it the same process for the rear brakes?
Yes it is

@@motorcarnut oh ok I see what you're saying ...thanks for the reply back.
Mi break line is diferente in the caliper
Should be the same process
Have u ever blow a line under the hood? Drivers side
What do you mean? A brake line? If so, No
I was watching to see how much fluid was lost when disconnecting the top of that line. Everyone cuts that part out?
Your best bet is to install the bottom hose on the caliper first then get ready to install the top fast as it does dip out pretty fast but you have plenty of time if you do it this way.
@@motorcarnut I got it replaced. Thanks for the help!
