Hello viewers! Good day to you guys! Welcome back to the channel. Glad you guys are here….today we have 2020 Toyota 4Runner Limited in the shop because the customer attempted to perform their own brake job and something is going on with the front calipers…either some seized bolts or something broken. Come with us as I attempt to get this thing to come apart so that I can put on the new parts.

Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!

Correct brother
True but sad.
Torque stick
It's a torque tube for putting on wheels for cars I've used them in 2007 and 08
That is a torque tube bro!
I’ve done brake jobs on my 4runners, and the caliper bolts you removed with your impact wrench are nearly impossible to remove with a ratchet or short breaker bar. They are locktited and a bear to break loose. But if you have a powerful 1/2 inch drive air impact or battery powered unit it’s not a problem.
I have never managed to get any mounting brackets out without heat on the bolts. I have no idea how you manage to do it without much difficulty and yes I have a good air compressor and impacts that I always try first.
Nailed it starting at 29:14.
You buy cheap, you pay twice
Ray I’m the same way, I’m a Libra too I do things the hard way too
I love self-checkouts
torque stixx i used to use those working for goodyear
Torque stick😊
That’s why we watch and like you!!
Why is ok to block your garage!! Be considerate of others
Hey Ray, you keeping up I like to hear what you have to say I like what you say and I’m with you I got you back
I’ve never used the self checkout. I get in the one long line and start complaining about no one is working 🤣
I know!
Torque limiter stick
Is anyone else having a problem with the audio function on these videos lately? The sound is slightly late, like half or 3/4 of a second behind the video. Or is it just my communicator having a nervous breakdown?
To torque lugs that what that is😊
Ray you are Absolutely Correct in your ranting. I like to say, proper time people and money gets the job done.
Owner of the 4 Runner spends big bucks on a quality vehicle then cheaps out on brake pads and rotors. Hard to believe the thought process or lack of a thought process.
So somebody help me out here because something's not clicking with me on this one. They have made it exceptionally easy to just pull the pads out put new pads in. But Pat's slapping is trash or at least the hive always thought that not pretty sure everybody else has. I've done it a time or two but it was yeah I ain't got money for the rotors and the pads are lifetime warranty so I'll get a new set for free and I'll throw new rotors on there but it almost seems pointless to make the pads so easy to yank out cuz even if you're doing a turning of the rotors on the vehicle doesn't that take place in the area where the caliper is? I'm just a shade tree mechanic I take my rotors to shop to have them cut them and I definitely don't have the money for that machine. So is the only benefit to the ease of pulling those pads that it's easier to just do a pad swap on it
It’s a long orange socket right……right ..lol torque stick
Made for torque to make sure you got the right torque on your lug nuts so you don’t have to use a torque wrench
Your doggy is the star of the show.
Times change and pendulums swing Ray….. Don't write-off a resurgence of the labor movement as a force that will stop the greed of Wall Street.
90% of Motorcycles run this style of caliper.
"Tourqe stick". As for your rant, you are right on
Car went right maybe air in the tires are low?
I agree totally with your rant. I refuse to use the self checkout because I am being a cashier and not getting paid. I always say that if they gave me a discount on my purchases to use the self checkout…..that may "may" change my mind.
You had me at self checkout. You were absolutely right about that. HOWEVER the full service gas rant is a no. That phenomenon is strictly an east coast thing. I am old enough to have caught the tail end of the full service era. Which is older than you. It disappeared because automation made that job obsolete. We live in the age of AI, so a lot of that is about to happen. Everyone who decided to hide at home from covid proved to corporate America that ppl aren't necessary for the system to work. Things are quietly changing in our world. Computers don't strike or get tired, or require healthcare packages. It's not better, just unavoidable. I do miss being able to work on the car without a degree in Microsoft. Que sera sera.😢😢 keep up the vids, i love em.â¤â¤â¤â¤
That’s why most families mom and dad have to work to pay their bills so how much better are we as a society kids come home to a empty house with no supervision no homework help parents get home burnt out it’s all down hill from here
We love your job too!! :o)
Also if you look at the younger generation that won't work for less than $2000 a week
the way you speak is strange
just an extension.
the limiting is overridden and it is then
However if you run the nut down and just let the gun to continue to hit
It only allows the set amount of torque to be applied.
That's a torque limiting tool. If you run the nut down.
Because there are too many ads.
I can't comment.
It's like when a distributor doesn't have an inventory control system.
What after market company sent the wrong parts? I'm going to guess you could have returned the kit because of the wrong springs and pins.
So you work harder not smarter?
