What about the oil change video ? 😢

[@mohsenalabbas7866]

Mike.. thank you for introducing your fans to Brian... he's the best mechanic ive seen and I appreciate his work ... I learned a lot from him

[@jwwj30]

Howdy Brian, came over to check your channel out as I follow Mike on AutoVlog. He said you were filming his brake job on the F-150 and I wanted to see it as I am having a brake job on my Dodge Journey next week. I have 30,000 miles & it's my first one. Thank you for clearly explaining and filming this brake job. Mike is lucky to have an honest and talented friend such as yourself. I subscribed to your channel and will watch your upcoming videos. Good luck to you, but I'm still a Chargers fan.

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Thanks for subscribing Jack,I have relatives in San Diego its one of my favorite places in the USA!

[@cuga69]

Great video. I have a 2015 F150 and noticed my brakes pulsating lately. I changed my son's brakes on his Honda CRV last week now thanks to your video I'll tackle mine. Thanks .

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Thanks Martin! Just make sure you put the front pads on correctly.

Awesome. mike sent me over to watch. You are a good friend bro. Even though I own a 18 Ram 1500 I enjoy watching his channel and yours. Would be great to see some Ram maintenance. I just subscribed and thumbs up. Been watching you help Autovlog out for some time now.

[@berniecruz8405]

Hi Brian, Was wondering why you didn't suggest to Mike to have a GDI service done on his truck? GDI services are a keen essential maintenance that helps keep down the carbon build up on the intake valves and the throttle body. I was suggesting to Mike that he should get this done since he now has over 40K miles on his truck. GDI services are most effective when the chemical only needs to remove thin vapor film off the valves and throttle body. Plus won't need to perform this service over and over again when the carbon builds up when the truck reaches like over 150K miles.

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

I have mentioned it. Its no his list of things to do. Thanks for the recommendation and checking out my channel!

[@williamsoltwedel8404]

And always pump your brakes before you put it in drive or neutral if you R&R a caliper, or you may not have brakes for a few seconds.

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Good point Jeff!

[@Schilk83]

Thanks Brian great video. Very imformative. 👍 I have a 2010 Ford F 150 with the 5.4 XLT supercrew cab and I love it.

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Thank you 👍
I Would add that those caliper bolts are really too small and short for the important and critical job they are assigned for...... Come On Ford!!!! You REALY Should redesign it in future models.....

Great video Brian. A very interesting and very informative video. No way that I would tackle this sort of brake replacement I’d rather leave it to experts like your good self. Love the video more of the same my friend. Next time you see mike ask him how Sweden got on against England as he never replies to my comments on his channel. Cheers my friend.

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

There are many comments I don't reply to because of the amount :) But I'll answer it here, England won because they were the better team. I hope you win the whole shabang now!

Hey Josh, sorry for the delay. Email me at [e-mail] and we can set something up.

[@thatguyingreen315]

This is not bad....But there is a better way to do brakes. 1st you should have needle scaled the hub and put anti-seize on the hub and on all the bolts so for future use you do not have a chance to break the bolts. Plus you should have greased the slide pins. In turn for needle scalding the hub you remove the chance of the rotor sitting on any rust and warping the rotors. The other thing is to cut the rotors because these rotors are mass produced they are slightly warped out of the box and even though they may not feel like it on first drive some 10k or 12k miles later you need rotors again. The right way is to cut the rotors so they are sure not to warp. I have worked in shops all my life and have found this way to be the best and I have never had a rotor I could not cut straight out of the box and have never ever had a car come back with a break problem. As for cleaning the caliper brackets I use a sand blaster on them and brake grease on the part the pad slides on as well as a ceramic coating on the back sides of the pads where the piston or any contact is made with the back side of the pad(not on the pad material) to minimize the chance of break noise. Hope this helps. I was taught this way by a master mechanic and every place I have worked I tell them I do things the right way and ensure the car is done right the first time.

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

While these are all great suggestions, I doubt you will ever see it done in a flat rate shop. Especially cutting new rotors. Nobody will ever pay extra for that. Only one time in my 20 year career have I ever had to cut new rotors do to warping. I do appreciate your comments, keep them coming!

[@thatguyingreen315]

R230Tuner needle scaler works better. It's much faster and gets the rust off better. I work in Chicago Illinois. I never said it was wrong I said there is a better way of doing it. I've been through the school and I've even been through the union school here in Chicago and that's how they taught us to do breaks. If you do it the better way the first time it should never come back. My shop isn't cheap but we book two weeks in advance because people want work done good and they are willing to pay for it and wait. He did not do anything wrong with the brakes but there is just a better way of doing them so they last and work better.

[@sensualtiger5561]

Nice video, but there is a difference between a 21 or 13mm wrench and 21 or 13mm bolt. Could you be specific between bolt size or wrench size

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Thanks, I always refer to wrench or socket size.

[@Vortechtral]

Question, would it be alright to put some anti-seize between the rotor and hub to stop rust from binding the 2? I've never seen anyone put it there, yet there has also never been any mention to not do it as well. Just wanted to make sure when I do mine to not do something I shouldn't have. I mean if you're tossing the rotors then it really doesn't matter if you whack it with a hammer, but if you're doing a general clean and re-lube then you may not want to smack anything with hammers is all.
Thanks.

[@TFD1982]

Mike Palko I've seen this done before it's a great idea it really helps when taking rotors off

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Hey Mike. you can certainly use anti-seize sparingly and it will help with removal. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@angielskieduspot1358]

Mike Palko, you definitely should not be doing that. Even tiny amount of anti-seize might get located unevenly around hub under the rotor and cause rotor to have runout. Also there is something, that Brian didn't show, but certainly have done that. After removing old rotor, you need to clean hub of off the rust and and debris to the status of "shiny metal. It's usually recommended to perform hub rounout check with dil gauge before installing new rotor and also new rotor runout check the same way, after you put new rotor. If you want to provent build up of rust between hub and rotor, you might spray light oil mist layer on rotor hub before putting on new rotor, but that's it. Good luck

[@SM120THBORE]

You can also apply anti-seize on the caliper bracket before putting the clips, then put anti-seize on the clips and your ready to put the brake pads, they will never seize. Brake lube is great but it doesn't last cause of temperatures. Also even if the slider pins move freely it doesn't hurt to just take them out, clean them and apply brake lube.

[@mariuskub]

Brian again great job and video, can you make video where is electronic emergency brake on the car please

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Sure thing. I will film the next one that comes in the shop. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@FireDaddy619]

What's an estimated time it takes to replace the front break pads & rotor?

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Fire Daddy it takes me about 25 minutes but if we’re doing it on the ground with a jack I would say an hour.

[@markgennaro153]

Hey Brian great video! Very interesting. Quick question for you - I have a 2017 F150 2.7 liter ecoboost with just over 8,000 miles. It was recommend to me to install a "oil catch can" to trap all that blow back oil which makes it's way back into the crankshaft. What is your thoughts on this? Is just for long term benefits or what? Does this mess with the factory warranty? Do you recommend doing this or not?

[@kennethrine8171]

Mark Gennaro. I was thinking about doing that to my Focus ST. Is it worth doing it. And aubout the warranty?

[@markgennaro153]

Well, we will just have to wait till Brian gets back to us...lol

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Hey Mark, while it certainly couldn't hurt, in my experience I have only see benefits on modified engines or if you are constantly under load at high RPMS. The only way it would void your warranty is if the catch can failed and was the main reason for and engine damage. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@markgennaro153]

Thanks for the info Brian. Keep the videos coming. Someone with experience and knowledge on vehicles I definitely want to watch your videos. I'm always wanting to learn something knew, especially about my F150 ecoboost. I lot of the V8 haters out there give it a hard time, but so far it's been a really good engine. I guess time will tell. I did buy a 2 year extended warranty, so I guess I'm good to go for the first five years. Probably will trade the truck in after that. Be blessed brother!

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

We have seen some oil pan leaks on the 2.7L but thats about it.

[@kevinjames6087]

Hey Brian I'm having trouble with my 15 model F150 e parking break as it will not disengage and won't allow my truck to start.
I already did the maintenance on and off thing but it's still engaged.
Also when I try to turn on the engine it only makes a rattling sound but no engine noise.
I'd appreciate the help.

Hi Kevin, it sounds like you have 2 separate concerns here. The parking brake will not cause a no start issue. Send me an email to [e-mail] with your contact info, and I will try to help the best I can.

[@TheRnwood]

I had heard that if you simply reef down the pistons without aleaving pressure that it could damage your ABS system. I assume by watching your video that this is not the case?

Hey Russell, I personally never heard that(maybe brand specific) and I have never had an issue. Thanks for checking out the channel.

[@RedneckPCtech]

No brake clean on rotor to get oil to prevent rust off?

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

The Motorcraft rotors don't come with oil on them and I wear gloves so, there is no need. I do use it on aftermarket rotors. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@josefnaude7955]

Hey Brian, I'm really curious as to what causes brake squeel. It seems every single one of my cars have this issue and I just figured eventually it's my driving style.

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Could be multiple things. Rust build up on the rotors, cracks in the pads, just cheap pads in general, caliper slides frozen, pads frozen in the slides, or e-brake shoes sticking. Hope this helps!

Brian I’m curious about the 2.7 and hearing about people adding oil Separators or collectors for the turbos is this need it? Love to hear your feedback

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

We haven't really seen the need for them on the 2.7L. They certainly couldn't hurt as long as they are functioning properly but if they clog up and cause damage, it wouldn't be covered under warranty.

[@kylemannion8452]

That’s what I thought I figure if it really was needed at the factory would’ve done it thanks for your info buddy

[@TheCalculin1]

[@alwaysontime7149]

Which way is it to tighten the rear emergency brakes up or down thanks

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

If you are looking at the adjuster wheel, you will see exposed threads to the right or left. turning the wheel to expose more threads will tighten the shoes and less threads will loosen. Thanks for watching!

[@alwaysontime7149]

The left emergency brake the threads on it feel loose compared to the right like it turn faster than the right did I accidentally turn it to much I don’t wana take the rotor of but if I have I will just wanted to know if it’s normal or should it be kinda hard to turn them cause the left one moves super easy compared to the right I’m a jack up the truck put it on jack stands when I get home and turn the wheel and adjust like u said

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

There could be more corrosion on the right side .

If the rear pads and rotors were just fine, then why change them?
