I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics. I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.

Great detailed video
I've seen the results, too many times, of small details being missed, and the whole system rusting solid...
@@HouseCallAutoRepair Well I appreciate your hard work. I purchased a 2015 Rav4 over a year ago and I need videos like this for when it's time to do my brakes. Keep up the great work. I subscribed to your channel so I can see more of what you do!
This, to me, is one of the finest videos I've seen of a brake job. The camera work is excellent. The gentleman doing the work does a superb delivery explaining procedures and gives clear suggestions for each part of procedure at hand. This is almost like a documentary and something anyone else making 'how to do videos' would gain insight. to both clarity and explanation. Thanks very much
Thank you for the compliments! Hopefully I can produce more that live up to this standard! Feel free to SHARE!
It it well explain, he just did a big mistake, that I hope you will not.
This is the BEST video of all I've seen,no BS I can tell HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! Thank you Awesome!
I like to add a thin layer of anti-seize around the circular hub where the rotor mates up. That is a spot where the rust likes to fuse the two parts together.. Nice Job...👍
That's a great idea to keep it from corroding to the hub center!
Loved the video. I'll be doing my sons brakes tomorrow. None of the music and drama back stories. Straight to what you need to do the task. Thank you sir!
trying to keep it simple and to the purpose.... hope it helps you out
I'm fix'n to do my Rav4 rear brakes. That was totally through! You did not leave me with any questions! Thank you!
Very glad to have been helpful!
I have exactly the same car with the same brake problem. I would call you if it wasn‘t a few thousand miles away from my home.
I have done a lot of break jobs myself over the years on different cars. But this is the best explanation I have ever seen. And I watched dozens of videos.
I highly respect your boldness. No fancy garage, no gloves even outside in the cold. Still doing the best job.
Man, I take my hat off to you.
Much appreciated man! Thank you!
My whole goal here is to help people figure out how to do their own repairs, safely and informed.
Over 145k views but only a few thumbs up as a thank you, and thats a shame.
Thank you for uploading this tutorial video and helping so many like myself.
Much appreciated!!! Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Best detailed video on doing a brake job I have ever seen. One great idea I picked up was putting anti-seize on the caliper bracket slots where the anti-rattle brackets go. In the past I have had to use a dremel tool to remove the rust from the caliper bracket slots just to get the new anti-rattle brackets to fit. I also appreciated that you worked outside in real world conditions. You proved that even an old geezer like me can learn new things. Take care and have a grrrreat day!!!
Thank you! My focus is towards people who either have very little, or no experience with auto repair or maintenance. My goal is to help build confidence! (as well as provide insight)
I'm currently looking into a garage stall to get out of the cold...
best video i've seen on brake change for rav4, detailed and clear pronunciation. Thank you very much, you saved me 400$ worth of technician time.
Great to hear! That's what I'm hoping these videos will do.
Excellent video, thanks. I've been doing brakes on my cars since my old man taught me, 47 years ago. So I checked out your video as a refresher. I liked the way you cleaned out and relubed the caliper boots, and the torque settings were very helpful.
You taught an old dog a few new tricks.
Glad it helped! We're always learning new tricks!
Can’t believe that the bolts came off that easy
Looks like it had never been taken apart
I agree. I usually see MUCH worse...
Thanks for showing so much detail, step by step!
You are welcome!
This is an excellent video. My daughters brakes need replacing, and she lives 600 miles away, so I can't just run over to help. I thought of flying, because it would still be cheaper than what the shop was going to charge. Anyway, she found this video and is now confident enough to do them herself (with probably a few calls in between). She sent me the video to review it for her, and it is spot on. No fancy tools, just what most of us have in our garage. I'll give an update when she's done.
That's so cool! Thank you! Looking forward to the result!
@HouseCallAutoRepair My daughter did her brakes, and she only had 2 problems, with one of them my fault. I told her to turn the bolts counter-clockwise. She called me "I can't get the bolts off." DOH! The only other problem was getting the drum off because it was frozen. Once I reminded her I gave her a sledgehammer, no trouble! It was smooth sailing from there. Lots of calls and some video calls, and she did it. You made a great video. Thanks.
Well done and easy to watch !!! Thanks for taking time to show this !!!
Very glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of the best brake job videos I’ve seen. Much appreciated!
Seems to be one of my more popular videos... Thanks!
The best video I’ve ever seen..
I don't know about that, but thanks!
Just did my 2013 Rav-4. Front brakes
So thanks for showing me to do the rear brakes alot to learn great job
I am so happy to hear that this video helped you do your brakes, yourself, confidently, and properly!
The best "How To'" I've found on the step by step for replacing the RAV4 rear brakes. Very nice video, and some "old school" tips, which my father and grandfather always taught me.
Glad you liked it! I try to make these videos, not so much as a "how to", but as a preview of what you will be doing if you're doing this on your own. It's a LOT easier to do when you get a chance to SEE it done by someone else first!
Great video. Clear, concise and very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice slow and detailed, thank you from Canada!
For someone doing their own brake for the very first time, seeing it being done, before getting into it yourself... always a huge benefit!
It's the best video I've found so far to learn how to do a break job on my rav4. Thank you!
Wow, thanks! Just wish I had some better circumstances and more filming experience!
Thanks for the details. Now I can do it by myself.
Take your time, and MAKE SURE everything moves freely, but not loose.
Awesome! I feel confident I could change my brakes without fear if messing up!
If this is your first attempt ,I'd recommend watching a few more first...get really comfortable! Good luck!
Great video thanks for the details , I ve been doing my own and family members pads and rotors for years and it's always nice to come to a video like this to refresh and to learn different tricks of the trade . thanks again.
I see so many DIYs go wrong, I felt the need to make these.
Thanks for making the video. Never did rotors and breaks before. It was a big help. I also liked how you had the little be careful tips. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! Very glad to have been helpful!
Well done. I am glad to see you use multiple camera angles and making sure you show all appropriate details.
Thank you very much!
Really well done video. Very Informative, good tips, good camera angles. Thank you.
Takes a really long time to record.... constant repositioning...
Excellent video. Just the right amount of information and touches on the main points necessary to do the job. Very good video illustration.
Thank you! Very glad you felt it is well illustrated. Feel free to share with other potentially interested wrenchers.
Great video. One of the best DIY explanations I have watched.
Thank you Sir!
Oh yeah, just what I needed, tackling this job today!
How'd it go?
@@HouseCallAutoRepair It went great! Used new Duralast pads and rotors from Autozone and very happy with them and the install went very smooth.
Thank you for making this video. The details and tips are great and will be a big help when I go to change my brakes.
I hope it takes any mystery out of the job! Thanks!
I was quoted $650 CAD to have the rear pads and rotors replaced on my wife's Rav4. I watched this video and did it myself in 3 hours. The parts were $240 CAD. Thanks for the great video!
Glad it helped!
You’re a good teacher!
Glad you think so!
Thank you, great and informative. The best video on rear adjustable brakes.
Much appreciated!
One of the best brake replacement videos I have seen.
Thanks!
Very explainatory video like it
Great work. Thank you for taking the time to prepare this wonderful video. Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching! There are often things first timers would miss, if left on our own.. Hope it helps someone....
Awesome video. Very informative with lots of great tips and it shows very clearly how to do the job. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! Much appreciated!
Wow! This is by far the best and most detailed video I have seen on DIY brake jobs and you did it so well in difficult conditions exposed to the elements. Keep up the wonderful work and thank you very kindly.
In this environment, you have to be thorough...
I appreciate this video! I had to buy a floor jack today & will be doing this on rav 4 tomorrow.
Good luck!
Great job, I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you very much now I know how to do my own replacement brakes
That's my intention. Help people understand not only that they CAN do it themselves, but also how to do the job thoroughly and correctly.
Good teacher! Pros know what they do but often lack the teaching skills.
You'd be sure at now many Pros still don't service them thoroughly.... A "Southern" car's brakes will rust up solid in one single winter, up here, if not cleaned, resurfaced, coated, and double checked for NO BINDING.
Thank you for the great explanation. Going to be replacing my Dad's Rav4 break pads soon.
With any luck you'll have little rust! Good Luck!
Excellent video well explained with all the critical points covered. The mechanic is superb!
Much appreciated! Feel free to share the link wherever you feel it would be helpful!
Thanks for explaining the part about the clips, other videos missed those small details and were annoying to troubleshoot through!
In the Salt Belt, rust is a nightmare...
Thank you so much, very educational, especially to people who have never touched a car before. New subscriber!!!
I'm happy you found this video helpful. I always try to remember how hard it was to get some kind of idea what I'm up against.
Hi Sir, Great video! very detailed. Greattings from Mexicali Mexico.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, excellent job explaining all steps.
Much appreciated!
Excellent video. Very detailed. I always like to do my own work on my vehicles. I have to do the rear brakes on my 2015 Rav4 for the first time this weekend. Glad I found your video. Should have no problem with it now. Thanks.
Glad you found it helpful! Please feel free to share and help the channel grow!
Appreciate sharing your knowledge pops
Thanks for watching, Son
Thank you for making this video, well done. I'll be doing this job this afternoon and it's nice to see the details first before diving in.
Your comment is an example of exactly why I started making these videos. "If I can do it, you can do it" was already taken by South Main Auto, so I figure If your watching, you're looking to learn something new, even if it's a simple trick, a new method, someone else's take, or what you're about to get yourself into... "you've got no more excuses... Pick up those wrenches"
@@HouseCallAutoRepair I successfully finished this yesterday. It really is a pretty easy one. I find the most helpful thing with these types of videos is whether there are any special, specific, tools for the job that I wouldn't have. Hey, thanks again.
Thank you for video. Very detailed and helpful.
Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial, I wouldn't normally have attempted such a job but with your help I have successfully completed a disc & pad change on my rav4 saving myself a fair few quid. Thanks a ton.
More often than not, the places you PAY, don't pay as much attention.
Fantastic job and explanation! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not bad at all. Really!! Not bad at all. Great video. One of the best I have seen so far. Very informative. I had to subscribe
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome. Thanks so much for making this. Keep up the great work.
You bet!
Best how to ever. My DIY job was a success. Thanks. Hopefully there is video for front and rear shocks for that RAV4 in your library.
Not so much a "How To" as much as "How I do"... Hopefully it helps those who otherwise miss the importance of the minor details.
Fantastic efforts my friends. Beautiful tutorial 😊❤👌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks! Glad you enjoy thee video
Excellent video. That’s how I do it, too. Thanks 👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing this very good tutorial video .God bless you more.
Thank you foe watching! Hope you find it helpful!
Thank you for the video. Awesome!
Glad you liked it!
Great instructional video!
Thank you!
I liked how you put the new rotor on backwards to hold it while you sprayed it with brake cleaner. Some people forget to clean the parking brake surface.
Thanks.... ALL contact surfaces..
excellent work; very thorough!
Well.... if you're going to put it on RUclips to HELP people, might as well go for the best results!
Love your voice - understood every word
Great video - thank you for going to the effort you did
Thanks for the compliment!
I TRY to keep the "First time DIYer" in mind.
Awesome video and to the point!
Appreciate it!
You're the best sir
Just trying to help others, through my own experience....
Excellent video!
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
Always learning something new with your videos. Thanks for making these awesome tutorials
These videos are INTENDED as an insight to "What am I getting myself into?" rather than as a "tutorial", but Thank You!
@@HouseCallAutoRepair no problem and you’re right. I found your channel recently and really enjoy the content. Keep up the amazing work!!
Well done mate!
Thank for watching!
Awesome detailed video.
Glad you liked it!
Excellent details. Good work sir.
Thank you kindly!
Great job thanks,, I have a 2016 rav and I'm getting a head start on changing them.. thanks for your time..
Knowledge is power!
This is a fantastic video! I feel for you doing that job out in the open during the winter. The rear brakes on ALL Rav's are a PITA because corrosion does a number on them, especially the sliders.
Thanks!
Help me out and share it around!
Great and informative video, Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Charlie 😁...trying to catchup on some content.
Showing how to get it done on site too! This is a calming video!
Thank you my friend!
I'm very glad you liked it! Until I get in way over my head, I try to do the jobs that ANYONE can do themselves, but often lack the confidence to get out there and do.... Some videos may go beyond that, but for the time being, it's geared towards the "Do It Yourself" that anyone can do with auto parts store rental tools, and basic hand tools. Power tools are used mostly to speed things up, but there ARE jobs that NEED impact!
@@HouseCallAutoRepair I appreciate you taking the time to help others.
very good video and very clear, thank's a lot for those little triks
I try to help where I can..
Excellent, nuf said!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video!
Great video with good points
I didn't know you could jack the RAV4 up on the points you use. You can also use the 2 factory jack points one in front and one on the back. A taller jack height is required however hence your method is good!
I avoid using the body pinch welds as much as possible (factory jacking points) They're generally only good enough for lifting one wheel, high enough to change it.
I always go for the strongest points that I can access, (Frame to body mounts, and suspension support points)
Thank you for doing this
I hope you found this useful!
excellent video! very helpful 👌
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Excellent presentation video on brake system
Thank You!
Excellent! Everything I needed to know in clear detail. Filming quality and explanations very clear video and simple. Looks like Maine to me? Rumford/Mexico? Thanks so much friend!
Western Massachusetts... (In a shop, would have been much easier, but a lot less DIY)
Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏼
No problem 👍
GREAT VIDEO!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic detailed video. 👍😀
Glad you liked it!
Thank you ,this video very help full
Glad you find it helpful. 100% of my intention.
Nice job done thanks
Thank you, for watching!
Thank you sir they help me a lot blessing 👍🏻💯
Happy to help
Very helpful thank you very much 👍👍👍
No problem 👍
The best!!! - Thanks man
You bet!
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video, I'll be my daughter's hero for little while longer.
Always!
Real easy to follow. Like the good olè days mechanic.
Very well done. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I got 2 rav 4s and this saved me alot of time and money in the long run. Most of us will be doing these in a parking lot also instead of a real shop with a lift 😅😅
Times aren't getting any easier.... I'm very happy this helped!
Thank you for mentioning the torque specs!
When I'm not sure, how much torque a certain fastener requires, I look it up on MULTIPLE sources. I won't post anything that isn't easy enough to verify, except to save time. Please ALWAYS verify!
Great job and great video done by a working man in difficult circumstances (those hands have really seen some action). Only two minor improvements from this Nottingham UK guy … after refitting the metal clips add a little grease into the slots where the brake pads will slide and secondly, when winding back the piston with the G clamp, open the engine compartment and take off the rubber lid of the brake master cylinder because as you’re pushing in the piston you’re also pushing the brake fluid back up the system.
The little rubber cap on the master cylinder does NOT need to be removed, unless you EXPECT an overflow, because the cap is VENTED.
Here in the SALT BELT, if you add grease to the ears of the pads, they attract sand, dirt, and salt, and wedge themselves in place.
Methods in the SALT BELT differ from the rest of the real world.
That’s funny, I do the same thing spraying the brake cleaner in the pin holes and using the pin to work out the old dirty grease. I see you clean the shim surfaces like Eric O to prevent the rust that builds up and pushes the shims against the pads locking them up. Nice job 👍
Thanks! Feel free to share this video with all the DIYers you know.. It'll help the brakes last longer.
A pro brake job in a parking lot! Great video. One suggestion I would add is to wear gloves when working with the brake clips. They are thin and can slice up your hands easily if you are wrestling with them. Great advice on prepping the caliper bracket!
Wearing gloves is highly recommended, but I often get lazy, or forget. i also typically warn viewers how sharp those abutment clips can get...
GREAT video ...thanks
Thanks for the Sub and checking out the video!
