Brake pad replacement? Ever wonder how to make brake pads? Usually I show you a DIY like how to replace brake pads, but in this video I show you how brake pads are made!
Brake pads from this factory: https://www.NRSbrakes.com/nrs-chrisfix/
To make brake pads, we start out with raw pickled and oiled steel. The steel gets stamped into a brake pad backing plate which gets analyzed to make sure it meets OEM specifications. Next the brake pad backing plate goes to the NRS press to get a mechanical attachment. Then the backing plates get galvanized and finally brake pad friction material is added. The manufacturer can add and friction material they want such as semi-metallic, organic, or ceramic friction material. Lastly the shim is made and installed on the brake pad and they can be sent to testing! When it is all said and done, I took the brake pads we made and installed them on my truck with new brake rotors!
The company that let me film in their factory is giving all of my fans 20% off their brakes using the code “20off” at checkout. I do not make any money from this! They are doing this to get you guys to try out their new technology brake pads and I will always share a discount to help my subscribers. Here is the link: https://www.NRSbrakes.com/nrs-chrisfix/

This video was one of my most favorite that I have ever made! It took about a months worth of work and I hope you enjoy! It took a lot of time and work to make and NRS brakes literally closed down part of their manufacturing line so I could film this. It’s absolutely incredible how much help they were! I hope you guys like it and I hope other brands reach out so we can do more of these how-it’s-made episodes!
Also I will be in Ireland for a meet-up on Saturday July 13 so check out my Instagram or YouTube stories for more info if you are from Ireland!
Pls how often should I change brake pads
When your local auto parts doesn't have the part your looking for
ChrisFix: AM GOING TO THE SOURCE!
You said that you have a Mazda B3000? I used to have one of those and I loved it. There was only one thing that irritated me about it. I would be driving down the road and for some unknown reason, the windshield wipers would turn themselves on, and it wasn't easy to get them shut off. I ran into someone else (a young couple) who owned one (actually theirs was a B-2000) and mentioned this to them. They looked at each other and said that they thought they were the only ones who had that issue. A design flaw I guess. That might make a good video, if you were able to fix this.
I'm and engineer that spent half of my working life in Toronto (Late 19's to late 1990s) making brake components. This is very simplified showing of the process, there are at least 2 dozen more steps not including making of friction material.
The quality of this matches and even exceeds the science channels "How It's Made"
Why did you test them on Tahoe?? is it worth if just caught fire just after 15 times?
I see your channel as education. Fix-videos as well as increased general understanding and knowledge is important. So I vote YES! Make more videos on how certain things are made and include "different qualities" as in this video – it enhances my ability to ask for and select what I want for my car.
"chrisfix how it's made" … I like that!
Thanks Chris for showing and having NRS company to made this video
Wow more please this was great and the factory was very generous well done them and you too.
Took DIY to another level
This was an awesome video bro nice.
Do you have a tutorial on replacing brake lines? Just purchased steel braided brake lines and really want to get them in properly and efficiently. 😊
Very nice
You are supose to use brake grace made with copper or graphite on the track where the metle clips are. If you don't the pads whare unevenly.
just do it!
Well I tried the link but my pads are unavailable until further notice without any notes as to when they might
be available. Business must either be great or terrible for NRS. Back to Autozone….
Me: looking for nrs brakes for my car
You are so good at explaining! Very entertaining to watch!
Awesome video! All the best, Chris!
