Saved me from dealing with the frustrating dealerships who want to charge six arms and 4 and a half legs just to get something so simple fixed. So thanks a ton!
Thanks for this video. After watching it twice i had the confidence to do my own front brake and rotor replacement. Giving a like.
Just completed my first brake job, and your video was very helpful. Many doubted I could do this and said to take it into the shop. But with your help, I not only successfully changed all my brake pads, but saved myself nearly $500! You have a new subscriber!
***** AWESOME Kevin! That is what I love to hear! Nice job man! Glad you learned how to replace the brakes using my video and now you know how to do it in the future! Thanks for sharing! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
@@chrisfix What did i do wrong after i compress the piston the caliper still didn't fit over the new pads. And also what do i do when the brake reservoir overflow s after compressing the piston?
same here!
IMPORTANT: You should spray the entire surface of the pad area once you take the old pads out to make sure it's clean.
You can use brake cleaner fluid spray and then proceed to replace the old with the new pads as shown in the video.
After you are done, you'll want to press the brake pedal a couple times to set the piston all the way and then when you feel the pedal to be as it should feel, then hold the pedal down for about 30 seconds and release.
Then press the pedal once again and make sure it feels right.
Good video.
I finally got the courage to do this on my Suzuki thanks to you and it was a breeze thanks to your guidance 👍✌️
I would like to say thank you for putting very explicit videos. Most of these videos are "old", but still relevant. Thanks to these videos I was able to fix some "minor" fixes, that would have costed my daughter hundred of thousands of dollars. I even used some videos for my own car. I hope you update and or continue to do some new videos. This is my first go to place before I do anything! Again, thanks.
Great video. Very instructional! Easy to follow.
THANK YOU! I did my brakes for the first time yesterday. Was almost as easy as you make it look. But I did run into two issues. 1) I have a different make and model. The tools required were different and the caliper and bracket are two different parts. Not a major issue because I was able to find another video specific to my vehicle and I was able to drive out to the store and pick up the specific tool I needed. 2) The rotors were seized to the hub. I was expecting to just pull the rotor off the vehicle like you did but nope. Thankfully the rotors were being replaced because I had to beat them with a mini sledge to get them off.
Again, thank you! This video gave me the confidence to do this myself. Saved over $300.
I can listen to u all day. So simple..straight to the point. Very clear with what to do. Didnt talk too much nor too little 😭 best video.
That he is.
Chris from before his classic blue gloves. Thanks for helping me prepare to buy a used car, thanks to you i feel like i can fix anything
Just changed the front break pads and rotor on Acura RSX and showed my son as well. Many thanks for sharing your video and passing the knowledge to others. You saved me $300.00 :)) Am going to down load your videos and send it to my nephew and brother in Fiji Islands. Share the wealth :) Thanks a million
***** Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful. It is great you are teaching your son!
aksfil
The brake shop ripped me off. Want to charged too much money to replace the brake pads and rotors. This video taught me it’s simple job to do. I don’t need that scam mechanic shop. I can do it myself
I just had this done at the dealership yesterday for my front brakes. both rotors and brake pads. great video to understand what they did (And why the labor charge was so much!)
Thanks for the video. Im 17 and will be getting my first car soon. My step-dad is good at fixing cars but its always nice to know how to do things on your own. Thank you a lot!
***** Congrats on getting a car! You should subscribe to my channel because I make a lot of how to videos that will teach you how to fix your car.
ChrisFix Just subbed, Keep up the great videos!
Great! Stay tuned for more how to videos! Glad to have you subbed!
Great video! I used it as a reference when repairing my '02 Trailblazer. thanks for providing the tools to assist us fellow home mechanics.
+Mark Awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
Hey ChisFix, We need a great mechanic like you in Las Vegas. A true mechanic love fixing cars and take pride in the work provided. Salute to you! Keep doing great job.
hey Chris thanks a lot for your informative videos,you made me become a professional mechanic even before my car arrives.
just changed my brakes yesterday. thanks for all the details Chris.
Hey Chris, Love your vid's. You forgot to clean your new rotors with brake clean, many new rotors come with a protective film of oil to prevent rust while sitting on the shelf. Also I pull out my slide pins and clean out old grease and dirt and replace with fresh syl-glide lube. If pin boots are broken or cracked they need replacing.
Chris. Your videos have saved me hundreds. Thank you for what you do. I love the exact description and detail in your videos. Thanks again
No prob! Glad the videos are helpful!!!
Thanks for the great video. This DIY video saved me a couple hundred bucks. Stealership quoted me 900 bucks for front brakes and rotors also back brakes and rotors. Parts only cost me 200. Thanks alot .
Hey Chris! I just wanted to update my brake job progress.....The parts arrived late yesterday and I had already taken everything apart.....The first side (pads and rotor) went very slowly...Totally my fault for taking the brakes apart before the parts arrived...The rear pad replacement was a breeze.
This morning, I tackled the other side and got the pads (front and rear) and the front rotor done in about an hour! I would not have tackled this job without your OUTSTANDING VIDEO!
Thank You so much!
Bill
Bill Shideler AWESOME! Yea, the first side is a learning experience and as long as you take your time and learn properly, the second side will go by real fast! I am super happy the video encouraged you to do this yourself!
thanks Chris! you are so generous to share this Video I have save a lot of money. this is one of the many reasons why I love America
You have great videos! I'm doing my front bakes on a 2004 Chev Trailblazer right now, but one thing I think you must touch on - is how to remove the rotor if it's stuck on the hub with rust. I saw others whaling away on the old rotor with hammers, using pullers (a kind of pricey buy or rent), soaking the assembly with penetrating oils, going at it in all sorts of ways. But there are those two threaded holes on the face of the rotor where the wheel lugs are and if you put a right sized bolt in there and tighten it down - that is a great and simple way to get the stuck rotor off! Cheers!
Chris, Great demo video! My son who is an AG mech gave me a tip I would like to share. When you go to push your caliper pistons back so you can put the new pads in he suggest that you open the bleed port and remove the brake fluid that is closet to the caliper then shut the bleed. He told me that the brake fluid breaks down because the hottest place is the caliper in the hydraulic system. Adding brake fluid to top of and replace the fluid that was removed is the final step. Ron
THankyou chris i have a 1999 2.5l 4 cyl rwd ford ranger and until now i have not been able to find high quality easy to understand videos for the ranger! Im trying to save money and learn my way around automotive repairs [im a plumber] so i really appreciate it. keep on making vidjas!
Elliot Bernhaut Hey Elliot, I am glad my videos are helpful! Thanks for the feedback! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
Hey Chris I like your videos great camera angles and closeups and how you tell us extra tips while your fixing things. Like telling us a major tip at 11:48 make sure you don't use brake fluid that's been open for 3 months because it gets moisture in it and that's no good. I'm going to use a black magic marker and write on the brake fluid the date I first opened it. Thanks Chris your the best. Keep up the Great work man!
Great chrisFix！ I enjoy it very much & learned a lot from your world, thanks a lot. A thumbs-up for you.
Great video for changing brake pads and rotors!
My 10 year old son and I really enjoyed your free class! Awesome!!! Thanks from Coral Springs Florida!!!
Dang he’s 15 now huh
Great video, 2 things i have noticed, you should always clean your new rotors with break cleaner to remove all manufacturing oils, and always it is good practice to grease the guide pins on the caliper to make sure they don't seize up. Other then that great video.
Greasing the guide pins is a great idea. I dont know if cleaning the "manufacturing oils" off the rotors is needed honestly. I use to take my time to do that but in the end it gets burned off anyhow when you burnish the brakes... What do you think, is it really necessary to clean the rotors off?
Gunner is bang on da money gotta clean the oils off IF the rotors has em on..And for heavens sake lube and check those guide pins to make sure they are moving nicely..just did this on my 2003 Oldsmobile silhouette and those pins can lock up and bind like shit driving you crazy..these are musts especially in older vehicles
This happens to be the perfect video for me. Im changing brakes and rotors on 2 2002 trailblazers today. Thanks for the thorough walk through.
Tony D. Johnson Perfect! Let me know how it goes!
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen bro..good job!
Dude you're like the God of all things a car has🤙. Really appreciate your videos & experience. 💪🤝

Thank you Chris Fix, another great video.👍😎
I love watching your videos. my boyfriend is a mechanic and works cars of friends and family and it's fun to watch him and understand what he is doing so I can do it myself if I ever need to. Keep it up!
That is awesome! Im glad you are learning a lot!
Awesome video walkthroughs! If not necessarily doing this stuff on my own, it does help learn and understand how a car is put together and how the mechanical stuff works. Keep up the great work!
HrrE nR Great! Glad you are learning from my videos! Maybe it will help you do your own work one day.
The best i seen so far thanks

Just changed my breaks on my saab 2005 this video saved me a fortune thanks
Thanks for posting this video. I've changed break pads before, but not the rotors. It's nice to be able to do things on your own and save money when you're a single mom. Keep it up.
lcauthon7 Thanks! Glad the video was helpful and yea, that is the idea, fixing your car yourself saves you a lot of money and you know you did the job correctly.

I just had someone replace brakes on my wife car and after seeing it being done I felt I could do it myself. Your video helped a lot and now I was able to do the rotors and brakes on my truck. Thanks.
Leon Coleman Definitely give it a try next time. Use the video for reference and you wont have any problems! Glad it was helpful!
Job well done! This one the best DIY videos on here. Thank you.
dewproser Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!
8:39 I believe those are wear indicators.
Wear indicator on the leading edge (front:up rear:down). Springs on pads facing upwards.
dude thanks for your DIY car videos!!
Great video. I'm about to do my 04 Regal LS and thinking about attacking this project myself.
+nickycarts Awesome! Good luck!
Great video. If I didn't see this or hear this. Brake Lubricant must NOT BE petroleum based, need to put some on the pins as well as the areas you mentioned. And with new rotors, need to seat the brakes to put pad material on new rotors, videos are on this subject.
You're doing gods work, Chris!
+Eddie thanks Eddie!
It's kinda funny hearing current ChrisFix then listening to his earlier videos. Updated ChrisFix"HEY GUYS CHRISFIX HERE! Earlier one "Hey guys ChrisFix here" I love it though! I watch and learn from ALL your videos.
Another very informative and well done video, thanks for making it. And please keep on making them.
scotfree45 Thank you and will do!
I will do this on my own next time. I paid an arm and a part of my leg to get mine changed, but I'm definitely going to do this one my own next time.
I've changed brakes before but never on a truck so I'm going to try today! Thanks
Seletheia Awesome! It is the same thing on a truck so you will be good! Let me know how it goes!
Best tutorial I’ve ever seen
Very clear and easy to follow thanks for this.
Great! Glad the video was helpful! Remember to give the video a "thumbs up" if you like it (that helps me out, thanks).
this helped tremendously!
I really like how you explain things
Thanx 😁
Thanks man always a big help.
Wen setting up a new rotor, it is always a good idea to clean up the hub with a metal brush in to avoid vibrations. Just a recommendation. Imagine If there is any rust on the hub. It will "prop" the new rotor from the inner side and this could prevent it to fit alongside perfectly on the hub. So you will have vibrations with your new rotor mounted. :)
BTW, I really love your videos. :)
Awesome !
Enjoyed watching this video, very helpful
Thanks! Glad the video was helpful!
Chris, great video. Thank you! We were not sure how those little pad clips went back on, your video helped a great deal. Appreciate your time making this. My only advice to you is WEAR GLOVES!
Hi Chris, great video! A couple of points though... some models have the rotor held in by the wheel bearings (such as my 626). You need to remove the whole knuckle and have the wheel bearings pressed out by a machine shop, new rotor installed then new bearings pressed in. Also on older cars it pays to go slow on the piston compression - the seals can easily split and new calipers aren't cheap!
Albinus81 Thanks for the tips!
Thanks a lot. I always wanted to do my breaks. This will help me a lot.
***** No problem man! I am glad the video was helpful! Definitely consider subscribing! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
It might have already been stated in another comment. But I'll reenforce it. You should always clean the mating surfaces with a wire brush to make sure the is nothing between the rotor and the hub. Also make sure to wipe the new rotor with brake clean really good before install to remove the sealer on there that prevents rust. Love the videos keep up the good work.
Don Kellogg noone asked u....moron
Thank you for the GREAT video! Now even I can save some big bucks and enjoy learning more about my car and truck!
Randy Lavine No problem! That is the goal of my videos!
Hey man nice job I just went in to get my car serviced and it's expensive so this will save my family some cash thx!
932001quietstorm Awesome! That is why I make these videos!
Brilliant! Thank You Mr. Fix. Just successfully changed my rear brake shoes, thanks to you! Worked like a 'charm'. I have the 'brake wobble'. Next step, new roaters (spelling?)
Great! Glad the video helped! The wobble/vibration is from warped front brake rotors. Replace them with your pads and you are good to go!
Ok thanks, I will try to get a kit and see if that works. By the way great videos very very helpful.
Good luck and thanks!
Very knowledgeable videos sir,keep it up
Thank you this was really helpful.

Thanks for the amazing video! I have this same exact car! This is super helpful! :)
No problem! I am glad the video is helpful! Hopefully you can save some money when you need to change your brakes!
nice videos help me a lot..thanks ChrisFix..
Great! Glad the video helped out a lot!
So helpfully thanks
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Couple things you forgot to mention is when you get new rotors to clean them with brake cleaner to get get the oil that they are shipped with off. Also you should of cleaned the whole brake system while your at it to get dirt, brake dust and rust off of your new brakes snd itll look better. Love your vids ha been on a binge now watching all of them learning a couple new things here an there. Also waiting for the finished p71!!!
