  • @garylangley4502
    @garylangley4502 4 года назад +1

    That Impala looks like it is in pretty good condition. Shows what happens when you take care of a car. The one addition I would do to the simple brake pad change would be to lube the caliper pins that the bolts go into. Every time I have ever changed disc pads, the pins are dry, and sometimes they are worn. Think about it. Most of the time, pads last for years, so the pins dry out also. We are about the same age, but I don't have the strength in my hands to compress the caliper pistons with a pair of water pump pliers. I have a tool made to do that, but a C clamp works well also.

    • @brucejones2354
      @brucejones2354 4 года назад

      @, I would not buy this car no matter how it sounds even if it was brand new. You couldn't get me to buy a GM product at all. I haul new cars for a living. I see the build quality every day. Our company has contracts with Ford, Nissan, General Motors, Chrysler, HYUNDAI, VW, and Mazda in the areas that I work. I own Fords for my personal use, and I have seen the build quality going down even in the Fords. The only vehicles that i can see where the quality is going up is in the Kia and HYUNDAI brands. They are much better than they were 10 or 15 years ago and most of them will go 100,000 miles or more with decent maintenance. And when you consider the price for a new car and figure that into your cost per mile to own it these become something to consider, then, afterwards look closely at Toyota and Honda that will give you 300,000 plus miles and the cost per mile to own one of these will definitely cause you to raise your eyebrows.

    Hey Scotty!! I had my oil changed today, just replaced the oil filter with a titanium one, a high performance, durability air filter but not the K&N version. I took it out on the highway as well to let it clean itself out with some gumout for deposits, such for my chevy camaro. 2010 This video basically answered my own question. So, in a way you have already helped me on my journey. Thank you for your patience, time good sir! P.s. I am starting to get the impression you don't like Chevrolet. 😁😆 Please make a video about Chevy's and why you believe they are crap if you haven't already. I wish to know more. Best wishes. I hope you're foing well. 😇🖖

  • @ryanhull1381
    @ryanhull1381 3 года назад

    Do those calipers have a bleed valve? I've been told you open the bleed valve before you squeeze the caliper to push the pistons back. If you don't, it can push the brake pressure back into the master cylinder and cause damage.

  • @davidturk6301
    @davidturk6301 4 года назад

    Would not use a metallic screw driver to pry the frozen brake pad off (potential to scratch the rotor). I’d used something plastic or rubber coated. He also didn’t check the rotor thickness to see if the rotor had to be replaced. Last, it’s been a while since I last did brakes, but on the older Fords, if you compressed the caliper pistons without releasing the pressure from the brake fluid, you could mess up the ABS system.

    I suspected you were moving to Nashville. Visited there for work a few times and think it is really nice there.

    Hi Scotty, i have a Ford figo 1.4 TDSI, When the engine is a bit cold and i drive, when i get to a stop, the car is jerking a bit but then goes away, can it be a sensor problem?
