I have a 1995 Chevrolet c 1500, 2wd and I'm having some serious braking issues. When I press the brake pedal the truck attaches to the left then snatches to the right then kinda clears up. I cant figure out what is causing this. It has newer calipers on it those were done maybe 4-5 months ago
YoDood: I just did, this is a repair video, and I have over 500 repair Videos on the channel covering almost everything related to car repair
Thank you Scotty. I've learned so much from your videos. Greetings from a non disclosed country in south America
Hi Scotty, does the big fan count as an item used in this video? It's a lot like a small fan only bigger! (Seinfeld reference- the big salad vs. small salad at the diner scene). Thanks Scotty!
The brake pads you linked are not the ones you used in the video
I solved the problem by just not breaking anymore.
You can also just throw it in reverse
I just go off roading GTA style through my neighbors backyard. That way there's no traffic to break for.
When you're going 100kmph and your brakes don't work, just rip up the handbrake and you'll come to a stop really quick.
No response from you, so I reckon you've gone to live underground with The Resident.
deasttn OMG 💀💀
Scotty. Paint the caliper red. It will help and improve your braking. Also it will show others you mean business.
plus 10 hp per caliper
Add a spoiler and get an instant 30 Hp, the bigger it is the more you gain....this is common knowledge lol
A turbo sticker on rear trunk lid adds 350 extra horsepower.
@@thinkingimpaired5663 now you're talking! That's what up... mad gains.🤣
i know barely anything about cars and when he toko the caliper off im like hmm maybe i can paint mine LOL
Don't be fooled, Scotty's wife still has to pay him to get her car fixed.
😅😅😅😅😅
That's a lot of sandwiches
Damn, I'm glad I'm not married !!
Yea, she pays him to fix her car with his money :))
@@tuyhoaphuyen3412 out one pocket into the other
Damn Scotty, brake job in five minutes. You make these shops look bad. I spend all day waiting for them just to take the wheel off!
Wth? I didn't wait up to 15mins for that
I'm going to leave my warped rotors on my car, it's like a massage chair every time I slow down.
I have had an instance where this guide would run me into never ending repairs. Repair shops took me through the cleaners several times to replace rotors. The shaking would go away but come back within 5000 miles. I was fed up with their solutions so I started looking into the issue. I wasn't racing so my rotors shouldn't have warped that quickly. I replaced 1 component deeper. It turned out that one of my driven hub bearing assemblies was slightly bent. This gave the illusion that the problem was fixed as your caliper will float a bit but the issue quickly returned. After replacing the hubs I had no issue for 20,000 miles when i sold the car. One thing to add is that this was a used car and i had no knowledge of any impact which may have damaged the hubs.
I earned my ASE certification from Scotty Kilmer on RUclips
Good luck proving that to your customer
sonyviva308 it was a joke lol
😍 yup Master Certified 😍
What?
@@vinsonho1837 Came back to see what's going on here. Oh I was a straight head before this lmao
When pressing the brake calipers don't forget to remove the top cover of the brake fluid reservoir temporary. This is to release the brake fluid pressure in the brake line when the fluid starts to flow back into the brake fluid reservoir. Put cover back on after all calipers have been pressed.
It's Rotor time ! I used drilled and slotted replacement rotors, works great and last long time. Dad told me to take the top off the break master cylinder too because when you're pressing those calipers back in break fluid will be going back into the reservoir and depending how long since the last time you messed with the break system you may have some over flow.
Or bust a line
Your Dad neglected to tell you how to spell brake. Break means something completely different.
🤓 usually the reservoir isnt full so there should be space to fill up, just in case put a bunch of rags around the reservoir 😏
Folks, please DO NOT tighten the wheel nuts with an air gun or you run the risk of warping the new rotors. Always use a torque wrench set to manufacturer's specifications to tighten wheel nuts. Scotty is a professional mechanic and he knows how much to tighten wheel nuts with an air gun since he's probably done it thousands of times.
Rev up your shaky car! 🚗💨💨💨
Alpha Macho LMFAOOOOOO
Lol
That's DAMN FUNNY,LMAO.
Does your car shake when you fart lol
My 98 year old grandma has a shaky end
I also changed my rotter back plate that comes with the abs system. The car doesn't wobble anymore.
Don’t forget to depress the brake pedal a couple of times BEFORE driving off - it can be very embarrassing when you run to something or someone because you have no brakes
I was going to say that, don't forget to press the brake pedal a few times until you get resistance! Scotty might want to add it to the video! :-)
I forgot that part once. I was doing a Pitstop style brake change. Whoops
What you said is embarassingly funny😅
@@bansheemania1692 that's how i do my brakes, just want it over with. I remember to pump them though before i drive off.
😂 yup i forget to do that most of the time! 😏🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU! All these years I have diy my brakes I did not know , was shown by any source or read anywhere to put antisqueel grease on the mating ends of the pads. Now I know for next time.
Your wife must be super cool with you using her car all the time as a test dummy lol
Test dummy? He's doing the favor for maintaining his wife's car to good running condition.
Having him saves her thousands and thousands of dollars so I bet she won’t care. Probably Scotty will find something while working that’s needs replacing and will do it on the spot.
Why is everyone so pissed off? It's a joke people!!
I hear you man but he actually replaced the rotors not just testing it.
The Lady has two pot calipers on Her daily. Super cool sounds just about right.
The brake pads and rotor replacement is easy to do. I did it on a 2000 Ford Focus.
You are the greatest Scotty!!! I've had my 2000 f-350 for 18 years now and I've gone thru 5 sets of front rotors. The Best set I got was 10 yrs ago at NAPA, they were made in Illinois I believe, "American Made" they were the BEST!!! But it's just hard to keep rotors on the front of these heavy trucks. As always GREAT VIDEOS my good friend, God Bless you always!!! ☆Jay.
😍 yay The Land of Lincoln! 😍
I had this on my 99 accord ex and i did the pads and rotor, it was super easy and fun to do and totally fixed the problem.
Thanks for another great video always informative 👍🔧 🔧
I haven't warped a rotor in over a decade, even with heavy duty use. Buy quality parts & USE A TORQUE WRENCH on your lugs EVERY TIME! If its going in the shop, insist they torque lugs to spec before they even begin. Oh & dont forget to "rev up" (pump) your brakes before you drive away after a brake job so you don't warp your car. Like this comment so more people hopefully see it.
😒 meh I just put em on good and tight, evenly, they dont have to be on that tight anyways
ironyofshaun I would imagine it would be automatic to pump the brakes after replacement. Wouldn’t it be natural to do it when you first step on them and they go to the floor? How could someone not do it?
@@luptonpittman6520 Someone in a hurry, a porter at the dealership I worked at did it. It was a manual transmission vehicle. Porter got into the car, started it, released the hand brake & drove away never touching the service brake till he needed it at the other side of the shop.
@@MrSamadolfo Yes everyone has a version of good & tight, including a person with little experience trying to save a buck, perhaps like the core audience of this video. A torque wrench can be had for cheap & should be a staple for any beginner. People with experience can do just what you said.
@@ironyofshaun 🤓 yup sounds good
"whack it from the back side"
Grunt.... Ahh....
"You gotta wiggle them around till they get in the hole right."
DisgruntledEmployee i looked purposely through the comments for this..lol
That's what she said!!😳😂
"One on one side, one on the other"
Scotty's torque spec: URGG, good video all jokes aside Scotty
Wow didn't realize how something that looks so complicated to do can actually be very simple. Great video.
I love watching these tutorials and free advice videos! I don’t see why some people hate on you when you just give advice on how to make a car last longer. You’ve definitely helped me out since I just started driving and have to do most repairs or service on my own.
The best,quickest and most affordable repair for this sort of thing is to just turn the radio up louder while you’re driving and you don’t notice anything it works for all sorts of problems.
Just called Scotty and had a over phone diagnostic thanks
Don't forget to pump the brake pedal afterwards to get the pads back in contact with the discs. A friend of mine almost killed both of us because he worked on the brakes the night before, and then the next morning, just started down a steep driveway (in the mountains) without making sure the pads were in contact with the discs. It was a manual transmission car, so brake pedal did not need to be touched to get moving.
Scotty is legendary, from sense of humor to obviously his knowledge.
I hope you read this and realize truly how much of an impact you've done for everyone who tunes in.
Cheers from TX
Thank you Scotty, you never let me down when I need it.
Your use of graphics is friggin' magnificent as always. Perfect combination of funny and educational. You can't go wrong with Scotty!
Overtighting the wheels (like you did with an air gun) can also warp discs.
So that is what happened to mine?
Brake rotors do not warp from heat, even when driven by the most aggressive driver. Instead, they wear unevenly. ... The problem of pedal vibration, incorrectly called rotor warp, occurs 3,000 to 5,000 miles after the brake or tire change
Lol you must have just watched "Warped rotor myth"
You use a dial gauge to measure the run out on a brake disc. A warped disc normally happens when you have a hot disc go through a puddle and cool it too fast which will not change its thickness but will slightly bend or crack a very worn disc.
Shake up your engines!
Another common problem with a shakey steering wheel is broken bands in the tire. If your going down the road it's not to noticable but when you apply the brakes it grabs the rotors and then the unbalanced tire is felt.
Great time to inspect and lubricate caliper slider pins, Excellent video Scott
ClusterHeadSurvivor Many times I have seen rust under or behind the rubber slider sleeves. When the rubber is in place, it is being squashed by the rust bubbles, thus squeezing the pin while its inside the rubber sleeve. This will cause uneven resistance between the top pin and bottom pin which will cause a shutter.
🤓 yes i posted a comment on it, its so easy, dont b F lazy, pull off boots and pins, inspect clean replace, relube only with clear nonreacting 'Silicone Grease' and install, make sure when u finish that the pin slides freely in & out, thats how she likes it! 😍😂
Any other extremely useful tips?
Sometimes there is air trapped between the caliper piston and the rubber accordion seal around it. This causes it to bulge out beyond the piston when you press it back into the caliper. Don't put it back on your car this way or the seal may be accidentally trapped between the piston and the brake pad when you reinstall the caliper. Take a blunt instrument like a flat screwdriver or spudger and carefully pry the boot a little bit away from the piston to burp the air out.
Great pieces of advice Scott. Salute from Morocco! I'm a great fan.
hello and thanks for the support!
We love Morocco! Peace!
If you would only know how corrupt and sick the goverment and there dog of a king is you would be discusted of morocco.
Ilias Vamos You may be right, I am just talking about the people! I don,t know anything about the king!
Scotty you forgot to tell the vuers that the #1 reason for warped rotors is people hammering on the lug nuts with a air wrench. Always torque the lugs to the factory specs.
Good video. Only thing missing is that before compressing the caliber you need to open the brake fluid reservoir to allow for back pressure. It makes pressing it a lot easier when you aren't fighting the pressure. Also lubricate the caliber slider pin since it's out now, a lot of rotor damage happen when the pins aren't sliding properly and wearing the rotor unevenly.
Don’t take your car to a RUclips mechanic.
Not true. The brake fluid reservoir cap is not sealed. I agree lubricating the caliber slider pin.
You know its a calliper right?
So true, if your worried about back pressure, your compressing piston too fast causing damage that Scotty clearly warned about.@@cbrrebates
@@GG-ml3vr Well actually it is Caliuper from the french word Kaluapour or Calpor coined in Plage de Saleccia Provence just after the treaty of Verdun in 843 which split the Frankish Empire into 3 parts.
The most common fault is the uneven rotor surface as this guy said. Also rusty calipers and shiny brake pads can also cause shaking. If you feel the vibration in the steering then usually it is the the front rotors/calipers, if vibration is felt in the brakes then it is the rear.
Thanks Scotty, I had an issue with a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM GT. The front brake rotors would warp after a month or two service. After doing some research I bought a pair of drilled and slotted rotors and never had the problem again.
most brake pads are no brainers and go in easy and your done. But I have this Ford Mustang with these fragile C shaped wires that are spring to hold the pad in place and help keep them from dragging on the rotor. I got what I paid for as I went cheap. These little C springs all snapped off after install. The springs were gone so I took them off and reinstalled the originals that still had some life left. I took Scottys advice and bought akabono brake pads. I recommend looking at the pad before hand and knowing what they look like or taking one side off and taking the part to the part store with you to make sure it is correct. or taking a picture and sending it to the online place to make double sure you get the right part. And never go cheap on brakes by mid range to a little more costly. Why risk you life and family on cheap brakes. If you do it yourself you already saved money
.
Wheel alignment usually is the reason why a wheel shakes like that besides the rotary
From personal experience I've seen rotors that had scoring that caused the steering wheel to shake, so check for scoring into and protruding from the rotor. I had a rotor that was cutting into the brake pad of all things.
Instructions not clear. now my engine is hydro locked. help.
Did you reset the flux capacitor?
Autovlog
Just drill hole inside of full cylinder to let out the water.
I use the old brake pad and a clamp to squeeze the piston back!!!
THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO CHECK WARPED ROTORS.... you need to have a dial indicator for that.
To do this accurately you need dial indicator and you need to tighten the rotor to the hub.
You obviously havent watched to many of scottys videos. He rarley does anything right. but people watch his videos and he makes millions off them. I agree that you cant check runout the way he does. but he also says he has a 500 dollar micrometer.
There is yet another thing that will cause the steering wheel to shake upon braking (called brake judder). It is caused by a condition where hard spots form on the rotor. These hard spots or heat spots are where the cast iron basically become super hard like a ceramic. The material in this hard spot is called cementite. If you don't believe me, look it up and learn. Also, I measure rotor runout (warpage) with a dial indicator. They are not that expensive and are the best way to determine if you have a warped rotor. My rotors were not warped and were true within .001" and I was still getting brake judder. The cause of the hard spots is improperly bedded in (burnished) brakes.
You're my favorite mechanic to watch on RUclips, BUT I noticed something you did not do that I always do and I NEVER have anybody come back saying something squeels, sticks, and rattles. And that is clean and relube the caliper slides. You could argue that it doesn't need done everytime, it's just preventative maintenance and a quick step above and beyond what 99 percent of mechanics do! Lol
I can't tell you how many time I talk to people who got their brakes done and I meet them and they find out I do brakes and they always say they have a grinding and 9 times out of 10 it's caliper slides.
Just something I do! And still a great video Scotty!
Oh yeah. Right on bruddah. If those sliders stick or jam -- especially on the Toyota -- you may find yourself with a dangerously low brake pedal. Clean and grease those sliders.
@@nicholasbeck7670 yes sliding pins should be lubricated, if they stick uneven wear and poor braking can occur.
This man in great, his skills just hypnotize
Every time he grunts I can't help but chuckle a bit😂😂
Thanks a ton man...basic insights in2 car maintenance help in preventing us from getting duped at the service centres...
I had this problem with my Subaru, I just googled the issue and decided it was the warped rotors so I changed both front rotors and problem solved. I'm glad Scotty finally uploaded a diy video , haven't seen one in a while.
Clear and concise! Thanks Scotty!
I have replaced many rotors and pads this way!
Just a couple of pointers. One sometimes it isn’t necessary to replace rotors when they can be spun with a lathe so long as it does not exceed or meet its minimum thickness, however still highly recommend replacing brake pads. Next if your going to replace the brake pads when you plan on depressing the pistons inwards it’s a good idea to remove the brake reservoir filler cap as it can make pushing the pistons in a lot easier and minimizes the chance of damaging the master brake cylinder. Just my thoughts.
I always use big c_clamp and old brake pad to decompress the piston
No one ever mentions how worn power steering rack bushings can also cause loose steering and vibration while driving. The entire rack floats side to side because of worn bushings.
smithraymond09029 difference is this happens only when braking. Your problem shakes sll the time
Interesting that you mention it! I've changed my tires, brakes and rotors but didn't know about the bushing! I will have to give that a try. Thanks!
this week im replacing al mine on my mk5 gti. all the bushing on the frontside, plus subframe collar kit to
@@gfriedman99quick question do I have to change my brakes when replacing the rotors
You forgot to mention that some vehicles require the piston to be screwed back in instead of just being pushed. Chevy Cobalt for one.
I also found it very helpful to grind down the surface of the wheel hub before the new brake disc comes on. Otherwise it could be that rust / dirt will lead to the same unbalance when the disc is heated.
The surface of the wheel hub can be cleaned with a wire brush or fine sand paper to remove any dirt that may have formed.
Okay Scotty won’t take you as a customer. You can do it yourself since you know about brakes. You are right about what you wrote.
Do you bleed the brakes after changing them?
I brake for the Scotty channel everyday!
I had my front discs replaced on my Land Rover Discovery 3 with the Chinese made discs.
They squeaked from the start. I changed the pads, problem remained. Couldn't figure it out for months. Noticed my miles per gallon had dropped by 10.
Then, out of the blue, Mr Google Algo , suggested your video.
Yes, I had noticed ever so slight shaking in steering wheel when I breaked.
So I got the genuine front discs instead and hey presto, miles per gallon went from 27 to 37.1!
That means I will be making fuel savings of 15 yo-yos per week. Which means the cheap discs I had installed in the first place would have cost double the genuine discs had I not replaced them.
Thank you Scotty!!!!
Wow, glad I came across this video. My rotors are definitely warped! Was on the highway yesterday going 70 mph, and as I started braking heading for an exit the whole front of my car was rumbling a lot! I thought the wheels were gonna fall off!😰
This just happened to me
Slow down ahead of time so that you are already down to 50 mph when exiting. You are wasting gasoline. I don’t even brake to take the exit. Just make sure there is no car behind you.
Scotty at 4:40 my Honda Civic manual (and perhaps others) says during brake pad replacement to swap the caliper hold pins so that they wear evenly over time. Also to ensure the boot is instact and fully greased (you kinda skipped over that part!).
Awesome video. That doesn't help me with my seized transmission though
Great video Scotty. As usual very well explained and educational. Your better off with a magnetic dial indicator. But you and most people reading this already know this. One other thing. If the Vehicle is equipped with rear drums . Even if you just installed new drums and shoes. If the star wheel adjuster isn't adjusted properly. When you apply the brakes, the pedal will pulsate. It's very easily missed. This is the same procedure for emergency parking brake shoes for vehicles that use rear disc with the parking brakes shoes located on the inside of the rotor . And I have to mention. I love your take on Lexus. New vehicles in general have gone down hill. I'm a proud owner of a 2003 Lexus GS 300 and it's an amazing luxury vehicle. Little maintenance will take you a long way. Also the GS 400 and 430 are also gems. These were almost 80k back in the day. Now you can find one under 200,000klm for under 7k. I could go on and on about these. Your getting a lot for your money.
Don’t forget to clean and lube the guide pins
😒 When your done wash your wheels out really good, get the good PRO stuff that can remove 'Iron', it turns purple when it reacts 😒👍
I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but don't modern brake cylinders also rotate as they retract? So a fancy brake winding tool will do this for you, as you can't brute force them in with a clamp.
Scotty is the uncle I never had who knows every damn thing to know about car repair. Thanks uncle Scotty
I LOVE YOURE VIDEOS THEY SHOW ME EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON!
Really good video, Scotty! Now off to convince the wife to let me replace the rotors in her car :) A couple of questions:
1 - Speaking of breaking, is it true that if you're about to hit a pothole, you should never hit the brakes?
2 - What do you think about the tools sold by Harbor Freight to work on cars? I see some of them so cheap, but I wonder about their durability.
Thanks!
William from Connecticut
Yes, release the brake pedal just before hitting a bump. It reduces stress on the front suspension and the rear. Some HF tools are durable. I have two 1/2" air impact wrenches that are probably 25 years old. I don't use them that often but they still work. I also buy impact sockets there.
Hi William. I need my brakes done also. But my mechanic is charging over $460. U know anyone in ct? I'm in the naugatuck valley
@@julied915 Hi julie, I just saw the notification. I'm in NC so I can't recommend anyone. Don't go to the dealer. Go to a brake shop. Depending on what needs to be replaced it could get expensive. Many owners just change out the brake pads if there is no vibration when braking. If the rotors need replacing it will cost a lot more.
It may be helpful to add to pump your brakes once you've completed the job. This will get the caliper pistons closer to the rotors before you start driving. You'd hate to start backing up and realize you don't have any brake pressure yet. I seen one guy backup into a bush and damage his bumper to avoid hitting another car after he completed this job.
Would you need to leave the brake fluid reservoir open when you do that?
One of the big reasons why rotors warp is overtorquing the lug nuts and/or torquing them unevenly. Always use a correctly set torque wrench when putting on your lug nuts, and always re-torque the nuts if you ever have your car serviced/inspected by a mechanic and wheels had to be removed.
I used to go to one place they torqued them down by hand. The also balanced the tires on the car, they don't remove them, it makes for a really smooth ride.
the place had a lot of old timers working there.
I just use a large C clamp to squeeze the caliper back in, I had no idea there was a special tool made specifically for that task, :p
Ha ha! That's a Pittsburgh jack from Harbor Freight.
I hope you used a 20% off coupon to get it.
If I didn't already have a floor jack, I would get one of those.
And use a 20% coupon.
they're excluded from the regular coupon. got to have the no exclusions coupon that gets sent out a few times a year or a parking lot sale
Wish id see this sooner, spent $200 the other day at honda getting new front brake pads and resurfacing the rotors
Thank you, my car always vibrates the steering everytime I brake & also when I drive fast
should have also shown rotating the tires to check for drag indicating a warped rotor.
at 5:00, I wasn't even tempted. MGTOW 4 EVER.
😒 everyone needs a women to take care of them when they get old
Women only take care of themselves. Don't ever get fooled by thinking otherwise.
Scotty's right though, you should buy a mitutoyo 0-1 inch micrometer! Those cheap ones will only get you so far. And they're not as expensive as they used to be.
Hey Scotty! I also want to point out. At times it can be your wheel pressure and alignment! Whenever my tires start to get lower that little shake can show up. But if I go a while without an alignment I definitely have the shakes at high-speed breaking. Just my 2 cents!
Ahh the good ol’ Scotty useful videos.
So glad to have you Scotty ! 🖖
One of the pictures was from 1990 Total Recall
You forgot to take the brake fluid cap off first, how many cases have y'all damaged?, some mechanics y'all are
That and bleeding the brake fluid if it aren't a automatic bleeding system which I highly doubt that car has.
Can you explain why please, thank you.
Scotty for president 2020
☺️ I was thinking, not everyone is in Houston, maybe we cud make meet ups in certain city to help the noobs out with their cars, its sometimes alot harder than what u see in videos, some people need mentors like an aprenticeship, i wish i had that when i was growing up 😇🤠
MrSammy great idea.
@@gigel99324 🙂 thanks 🚗🚙
I had same issue with my mazda demio 2009. we suspected that it was warped rotors, but after lot of spending we discovered that it was actually a bent axel, which also cost me lot to replace :(
i just use a c clamp for my caliper pistons..
Me too, worked great.
Do you recommend cutting the rotors under any circumstances, or just buy new ones?
May I just say to the first timers or the inexperienced: Don't think because you viewed this video, you can just go and fix the brakes on your particular vehicle. This is only an example, performed by an experienced professional.
😏 LOL let them find out how hard it is just to get a real rotor off! haha noobs! 😂
Absolutely right. This is a time consuming. Especially if you doing this for the first time. You have to learn how to take these brakes and calipers off. It does get challenging. One rotor might take you about 1hr., or 2hr.
@@slicaltimistic1 😱 the rear rotor might have an inner integrated brake drum to work on as well 😡
😂 sometimes u cant even get the lug nuts off! heehee 😇
Lmao I can do a brake job in 20 minutes flat
Most problem tie rod end and should check low control arm
My car shakes like crazy when I brake
Check if your rims are bent or damaged. That happened to me I put the damaged rim on the back of the car took the back rim put it on the front of the car. Didn’t shake anymore it’s a quick fix until you get a new rim or rims. Hitting potholes or a curb will bend rims or damage them
Make sure you follow these steps quickly to give time to brake on time.
Put your right foot in before braking. Then take your right foot out. Then put your right foot in, and then brake.
Then do the hokey pokey
Beetle Juice lol. There’s always one lol
You put rims on your car??
If you don’t know much about cars, just go to a mechanic. You could be chasing that problem all day with no answer.
