Hey Chris you masked magician. I just tackled my wife's front brakes on her '14 Suburban. Thanks to your videos for giving me the confidence. $49 bucks. Yes sir. Thanks again. Keep up the great vids. Peace
Hey Chris, I know this is a little elate, but I am starting my technician college course, and we are going over the basics of brakes and tires, what I am asking is, what tools, like basic tools for automotives do you recommend, to use for all automotive cars?👍👍
💪🏾👌🏽👍🏾
Every part of the process is so detailed and beautifully explained. Thanks a lot for all your DIY videos
Thanks!
You're videos are so useful and well made thank you so much
You don’t have to bleed the brake system? I’ve heard compressing the piston without bleeding it can cause damage to the abs?
Should I open the bleeder screw before I compress the piston?
I doubt most mechanics are as thorough
Do I really need all those lubes 😢
Hey Chris thank you for sharing that wonderful vedeo,you are amazing guys and keep doing that great job helping people like me,God blessed you
I'm doing my mechanical technology – (automotive) PAT and this video kinda helped me thanks❤
how to do you know much pressure you’re doing when screwing the bolts back in for the rotor and the breaks.
Thanks for taking your time on making these very instructional videos, your awesome and I appreciate your time, thank you for helping me out.
Question do you do this to rear and front
I just realized some dude I know changed his rotors and pads without thread lock and copper lubricant. I'm learning a lot about how to do this job correctly. Thank you
Tried torquing the caliper bolts at 60 cause i wasn’t sure and they where moving when droping the car back down ended up snapping the f*cking bolt
This is an amazing video my friend. Thank you so much for what you do. Your words in the beginning about not being intimidated to do this, and that you can feel a real sense of pride and reward for saving money doing it yourself rang deep with me. I'm ready to take on this challenge thanks to your video!
Sir, your videos are top-grade. Car repair vids stress me out but your content is so well made that I watch it when procrastinating. Well done!
Chris – THANK YOU! Had a very full weekend thanks to you. Ended up replacing all 4 pads and rotors on my Hyundai Tucson (90k miles), bled the brakes, and did a transmission fluid change. My wife was very leery of me doing the brake change, but I showed her the intro to this exact video of you talking about how simple it is and very hard to mess up. That eased her nerves (and mine too!!) that I could do it. Just getting into car maintenance. Did oil changes for the first time a few weeks ago. Now jumped into the deep end with these 3 all on the same weekend. Next up is replacing front pads and rotors and brake bleed to my Hyundai Elantra (145k miles). All in all probably spent close to $600 on all the parts, consumables, various tools, jack stands and a quality 3-ton floor jack. Spent about $450 on rear pads and rotors at a local mechanic back in 2020 so I can't imagine what I would've paid for the work I did this weekend. All in all, like I said, thank you! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for making such an informative video. I have no worries what so ever about changing my brake pads now!!! Excellent stuff!!!!
So what can cause the gauges in my dads 03 duramax to go crazy
I just replace my brake pads but for about 40 degrees the rotor has difficulty rotating due to the pad rubbing on the rotor. I have to put in effort to turn it. Is this normal? If not, what do I do?
Question: Curious, while compressing the piston, I heard it could be bad for older brake lines, and the bleeder should be opened while compressing the piston then tightened afterwards. Do you think it's that important?
😅 thanks
I saw a video that satirically “called out” Chris fix for making his videos look way too easy. After doing the front passenger rotor and brake pad i was not having fun and then immediately after my caliper guide bolts snapped and I don’t have a car to pick any up and honestly I’m letting the video become propaganda until after my shower where I’ll probably search up another Chris fix video immediately after
