what antiseize to use between rotors and hub? can I use Permatex 81343 Anti-Seize Lubricant?
So family member who works on cars said not to use the thread lock because it can cause the bolts to snap if someone else does the breaks
Excellent tutorial !
Thanks!
I feel like the minority are the people that wouldn't take street justice in their own hands. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can never understand how someone could forgive someone that did that to one of their loved ones. I draw the line on being forgiving to someone that would commit murder or sexual assault on someone I love. It's crazy to me that someone could be for unforgivable acts like that.
COMMENTS FOR CHRIS FIX!:
1) Get an offset extension for your breaker bar or torque wrench, and correct the reading to properly compensate, I've seen them at Autozone some years ago…
2) AVOID AT ALL COSTS hammering on your ratchet… It will "harmless" for several times, until it just cracks the paw inside (cheap to fix), or the teeth on the head gear (not so cheap…).
3) {Only for "demanding" people that go the distance} : Get an inexpensive Dial Indicator and Magnetic Base at Harbor Freight tools…
-Nothing more fancy is truly required-and MEASURE the rotor "RUN-OUT"… Installing tve rotor with spacers, so it can be torqued to about Half the wheel nuts torque, not more (not to deform the rotor thin center section, and check at every possible position around, according to the number of studs on the wheel. That will assure favourably compansating the tolerances of both the rotor and the hub assemby.look for less than 3 to 4 thousands of an inch of Run-Out measured close to the edge of the disc rotor. That will help to get the best functioning of a disc brake!
4) Even when "PosiQuiet" ceramic pads are OK, they developed a new Semi-Metallic formulation with higher (0.45) Friction Coefficient, that has very good or better characteristics than their fine ceramic pads, at the skight cost of somewhat more dust, but noticeably better braking distance…
BEST REGARDS AND THANKS FOR SUCH A GOOD VIDEO!!!
Ty dad
Always good to have a refresher. I haven’t changed rears in so long i got a smokin deal $150 4 rotors and all sets of pads, thanks for the extra tips chris!!
Had the rotors, pads, and calipers replaced on my 2009 Honda Accord. Now the handbrake is extremely loose. Should the technician have adjusted the handbrake at the time of repair?
Despite looking new the car seems to be all rusty inside.
❤
I'm a tad confused, my piston is not attached to the other part ohh man
Awesome and complete instructions. The best i have seen. Appreciate your time and details in making viedeo. YOu left nothing out.
Great job as always. I enjoy your videos on brakes. Very informative. Very helpful. But why don’t outside when it’s cold out? Brrrr
Cool video…good information ❤️😳
Old videos Chris, helping out people who were teens and now a grown people who need to remind themselves of your awesome tips! Thanks for staying great ChrisFix!
Is this the same on a BMW X3?
Thanks brother 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
As always, Great job kiddo 👏
Ok, I'm gonna use your video to replaced my Evo on its brakes. Thank you!
we can put grease 28
we can do paint the caliper housing
I've seen car mechanics use two wrenches, one like an extension to remove stubborn bolts instead of a hammer.
can i just use anti size for the guide pins instead of the silicon paste
to remove the caliper cant you just remove both bolts or not??
👍
He sounds different, it's like he's tired with no zest. It's really hard to be a content creator I guess and there's always saturation point.
Is it normal to get smell and a little smoke when breaking in? Car doesn’t pull no noises or anything
Great video, thank you!
How do you go about choosing a brake rotor when replacing them? PowerStop says one of their kits will fit my car, but AutoZone says it won't. What would be the best move here?
