👠 My boyfriend made me turn your channel off
*I dumped him*
Scotty Kilmer Q: Which models of 6 cyl Lexus would you recommend? TY
Scotty Kilmer why struggle to clean the rear side of the new rotor? Put it on the lugs the right way...clean it. Then flip the rotor and slap it on the lugs the wrong way and clean it. No dangle clean. Work smarter not harder.
Sit my friend is learning about mechanic and he struggles because he does for first time ,but the another mechanics start to him joking about how he does
work and I try to tell first you learning mechanics sir first time have you faced any problems when did you start learn mechanics?.
For example
To put brake pads
GG Scotty, open the bleeder before you push the pistons back in. You are sending the dirty rusty fluid in the caliper back to the anti lock unit and the master cyl.
My mechanic told me that my brake rotors were groovy, so I said "Far out!" He replied, "No, that's your front end alignment." Bummer, man.
Granitehead McVoot I laughed more than I should have.
As one who worked as a teenager at a garage, very funny :-)
Nerd
BOOO!!! wish i had some tomatoes to throw at you.
Ba dum tsssss!
Scotty, edited out the part where he realized that the parking brake was on while trying to remove the rear rotor.. LOL!
If you ever had to do something like this it's best to have step by step
Trevor Syversen That’s so true. Happens to the best hahaha
I've had rotors that seized to the hub before had to use a torch and heat them to get them off when he says northern cars it's pretty accurate.
Are you sure?
That's why he could turn the hub by hand right? 🤣
Scotty is a gift from god. I’ve legit saved about $500+ just learning from Scotty how to do maintenance on my car. Thank you 🙏
It's even more if you can do the maintenance yourself for the rest of your life.
DannyXY _ I’ve saved well over $1500 in the last couple years. I get that mechanics need to make money too, but the ease of some of these jobs vs. the cost of having somebody do ‘em really makes me think...
And no I’m not driving a European or performance car, it’s your typical $1k daily driver/beater.
Lucky you that your car didn't explode from this jerk advice... I'm a mechanic and I facepalm all the time I see a video from him
DrewskiTheLegend it’s insane what mechanics will charge for the simplest job. As long as RUclips is around I’ll be my own mechanic.
I learned from Scotty and fordtechmakeuloco then I got sick of fixing my f150 and bought a Camry
1 of few things I've learned about working on your car is NEVER let the brake calipers hang by the brake lines (unless you plan on replacing those too).
YOU FORGOT... to grease the most important part, the brake caliper slider pin/bolts. The majority of dragging brake problems is caused by the slider pin/bolt seizing up from being rusty, or not having enough grease.
Even still, good video!
Grease attracts dirt wears down the slide pins
I agree. If not greased the pads will wear unevenly. Whomever says they shouldn't greased doesn't know enough to take their opinion seriously.
Joe Pierson modern slide pins often have dust covers just for that reason.
He forgot to replace the brake hardware as well.
Dont forget NO loctite and NO torque the mounting bolts. Beginning to think Loctite and a torque wrench mark the difference between one sort of mechanic and another.
I live in California. I feel like driving my car to Houston and having Scotty working on it. There’s nothing wrong with it, I just want Scotty to work on it.
So you'll drive over 1,500 miles just to have a mechanic fix your car, just to get back and need it repaired again? Very good logic you have there.
@@lupavo1738 ... It's called facetious. Lighter than sarcasm.
Paulous why would you do that when he will just make a youtube video of your car saying “Here’s why you shouldn’t buy this car”
Jonathan - Good point
J W - Thanks J,W, I guess I over estimate some people’s intelligence, like Lu Pavo for example.
Scottys old intro i like it as much as the other intro
This reminded me of when my brother was trying to get the rear rotors off with the e-brake on😄
How long you let him set and fight with it before telling him? Same situation with my brother, I let him fight for a half hour before telling him lol
@Viking Mike Q yep, that was the point. He wanted to learn how to maintain his car, so, even if seems mean, I felt I had to do it. To prepare him.
bryan woo I think everyone did that at least once!
@Viking Mike Q also a great way to fine tune his ability to stream swear words smoothly!
Even if not on they can be hard. Simply turn the adjustment back a bit. Takes 2 min to turn and 3 min to adjust again. My suv i turned them back. They still work just not perfect
My favorite Scotty moment is any bolt that he defeats with the sigh UUGGGHHH 😆
That and when he laughs with a horse picture next to him😂😂😂
He does that with every nut and bolt he loosens
His grunts are the like the clicks of a torque wrench
@@nasilemak868 Right !! 😊
He needs a shirt with that UUGGGHHHH
I give Scotty a ton of credit always working in the driveway, hand tools, no lift. Doing it old school.
Scotty is "Essential Services" in these times.
I've seen at least a thousand car videos on RUclips, but Scotty is always the best.
I am watching this from Quarantine/Lockdown in NYC. Scotty's consistently energetic voice is so calming as the body count goes through to the roof here. Thnx Scotty, a much needed distraction from the constant monotony of bad news.
Hang in there. Sending support from the steel city
lockdown in canada--love old scotty too
Brooklyn NY
Greetings from Italy... quite the same here. Try to be safe!
Scotty is great indeed, quarantine or not. Learning from his videos is always a pleasure.
Same here lockdown in sussex U K .and the guy knows motors
That's my First time too actually see Scotty Work on a Car step by step. He made changing those Brakes look like Childs play.....always a Pleasure too watch your Videos Scotty! I'm still needing my Alternator Changed out on my 07 Lexus is250.
Minor but *important* detail, Scottie:
When it's all put back together, *before* starting the car or moving it:
*PUMP THE PEDAL.*
That will 'seat' the new pads (or shoes on drum brakes) and avoid nasty surprises, like the pedal going to the floor on your first drive.
Also keep an eye on the fluid level.
Louis Jantzen as a high school kid in auto shop class, I made that same mistake and wrecked some lockers!
Scotty for president 2020!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I appreciate your sympathy for us up north working on our cars with my vehicles in western New York just about every removal of a bolt involves a hammer
Hey Scotty. Thanks for showing us how easy it is to do a brake job. It's cool that you let your customers bring the new parts. Many of the mechanics here in Pittsburgh won't go for that since they prefer the mark-up in price.
Once I thought I had to change my brakes they just had to be adjusted. My brake pedal was going almost all the way to the floor but luckily I had an honest mechanic
@iNSTAGiB I’m not a mechanic but I think he had to adjust the drum brakes
Thanks Scotty for teaching us young bucks the right way to check your pads.
Scotty is back to his OG intro.
Scotty you move better than a first year apprentice. .. well done mate. .
Still loving that classic scotty intro. Mix it up
“The crows are watching today.”
Scotty is my spirit animal.
awesome!
You referring to RIP off mechanics who change your brakes when you dont need too. Lmao
I guess I missed what brake pads should be illegal on your car... Still, you missed two important items. The first is cleaning and lubricating the caliper pins. If you fail to do that, the pads tend to wear on the piston side. The second is the parking brake. You didn't even check the shoes, located inside the rear rotor.
Don't forget #3 Pressing brake pedal a few times before driving to re-seat caliper pistons (takes out slack between the caliper pistons and pads).
I noticed the parking brake as well. And did you notice the inside of the rotor? Parking brake never gets used. Nothing but rust. Half done job.
@Mark Codiroli That's because you don't open the bleeder. The fluid flows back into the MC reservoir. Or maybe that's how you do it on your rocket ships...
@@daeljuma should open bleeder. By pushing brake fluid under pressure back to master cylinder you have the possibility of contaminants, like rust, plugging the small orifices in the ABS module. Brake fluid loves to absorb moisture. That's how it gets brown in color and its boiling point is reduced.
@Mark Codiroli Easier to just open the lid on the MC. Pistons will push back pretty easy.
I'm glad to see even Scotty Kilmer works just like the regular folks ... On the ground ... I just changed the rear pads on my 2012 Scion Xb ... Changes them just in Time .. cuz one side was really thin !!!
I replaced the rear drum brakes on my taurus last summer.
Doing both took me a week. Every day I walked to and from work and then worked on it haha.
Out there hammering the hell out of it for hours. At one point I used a prybar and broke a chunk of the drum off but it wasn't too helpful.
Once you get it all apart its pretty simple to replace the guts. Then getting a new drum on is difficult but not as much as removal.
One drum took 3 hours to remove. The other took at least twice as it had fully expanded and wore one side of the brake to metal. (so that's why it was squeaky in reverse..)
Fairly 'easy' procedure that is either going to take you minutes or hours depending on rust and the situation of the brake assembly xD
Scotty is honestly the best thing to see in the internet, quarantine or not!
if Scotty is still making vids then alls right with the world.
Scotty I'm with you after him living in Upstate New York and dealing with all that rust for 30 something years now living in beautiful rust free Las Vegas what a pleasure working on Rust free cars.!! :-)
Always love your videos and I've even used many of your techniques + tips when working on my Pontiac G6 v6 2006 w/ 173,800 miles. Keep up the good work Scotty! :D
Thanks Scotty! Working on rusty cars is expensive, frustrating, and downright disgusting!!
I always coat the hub face with anti seize, up here if it's a return customer you'll thank yourself later
Dustin Pomeroy and this is the second brake job video I’ve seen where he doesn’t clean the hub, drives me crazy!
@@jamesschlueter8035 I saw that too! Damn grab a wire brush and hit it a few licks Scotty!
I agree with antisieze but not on the hub face. Just on the hub ring, that's where it usually seizes. Put it on the face and the customer doesn't do a retorque, now its a loose wheel.
@@nathanmarshall5669 it was a bad joke,when I said return customer I was meaning yourself
@Mark Codiroli tell those politicians they can come change parts for me next time then 🤣
Scotty makes being a Mechanic look so easy.
For years I used regular axle grease on brake parts. I didn't realize that there was special high temp grease. Since I started using the right grease my brakes work much better
For those that missed it, the brake pads he is talking about is in the video. No need to grease slide pins in this situation.
My parents had a Tercel that they would leave in the bad parts of town in hopes that someone would steal it, but no one did and it never broke down!
Why did they want it stolen?
ACCESS DENIED as an excuse to get a new car ?
@@dw4940 likely insurance money
The tercel may be quite possibly the best car ever built
@@tommyvercetti6035 lmfaoooo!!!
Great Video ! Also , I find that removing the Master Cylinder Cap allows the Caliper to be pushed back in easier . Just make sure to re-install and step down on brakes a few times before moving the car . Greeting from Grand Island , Scotty !
Much love from The Glass City! Thank you for what u do Scotty!
hello and thanks!
Another fan from Toledo.. Keep it up!
Scotty Kilmer, you repair some interesting vehicles for thousands of viewers for entertainment and knowledge for DIY. Thanks for your time keep them coming we are stuck at home. Bill N LINY
Yay, finally an auto repair video! Make sure to not let the caliper hang by the rubber hose.
I see Scotty makes extensive use of the "German Torque Wrench".... GoodentightenYa!... :)
Goodentight,I thought that was a German virgin
I heard of it as "German Torque spec." as opposed to "wrench" without the "enYa!...".Which in a way is ironic as Germans are often more 'fastidious" (you can use the 'a...' word if you wish) about tightening to a specified torque than Americans.
Nyzentite
He only gave it one grunt, not tight enough.
I thought "grunts" occur with increased tightness.
Truly the best on tube. Most gifted. So knowledgeable.
Keep the old intros Scotty, absolutely love ‘em!
Same here, I want the old intros to be kept too.
When I do the brakes on my cars, I also flush out the old brake fluid and replace it with a high quality brake fluid. Right now I prefer Castrol Synthetic Brake Fluid DOT4.
I hear you Scotty, I need to do my brakes asap. Always lovin the videos bruh.
I like these hands-on videos best!
Thank you Scotty. I needed a refresh on memory on how to do a brake job 👌
Thanks for teaching me how to change brake pads!
Great video, very informative!
I take an extra step when replacing rotors especially on rust belt cars. If there is rust on the hub, make sure you use a wire brush to get it off. You want that mounting surface to be smooth, even, and clean.
Also apply a THIN coat of disk caliper lubricant to the surfaces before assembling.
Thanks for the shoutout to us rusty mechanics, Scotty!
Got my tetanus shot.
Love your vids.
Sincerely,
The Adirondacks, NY
Scotty the man per usual. Respect for showing everyone how. My goodness that rear caliper is thin.
I always just put the rotor on the studs (back facing out) to clean the back too.
I was thinking the same thing.
Thought he was going to do that at first.
@@FredTheLutinoCocatiel Which lube? It would be disastrous if it ends up on the braking surface.
1) "Sticky" Disc Brake Caliper Lubricant (there are several brands available). 2) Just put on a THIN coat and it is no problem, I have been doing it for decades.
so good that u r still here for us ... thank u
Great retro intro. Use the motorcycle intro too.
Old school on the intro.............. Like it!
Was I the only one waiting for him to say, "It's time for the Scotty Kilmer channel"
Philip P Nope Lol! I was disappointed he didn’t haha
Philip P .com
Scotty put of that caliper lube or anti seize between the flange and brake rotor help stop it from rusting together.
SCOTTY!! You didn't grease the caliper pins. Tsk tsk
MarkC. I was looking for this comment 😂
It's not the worst thing in this video. I'm pretty sure he left those rear brake calipers hanging from the brake lines as well.
I'm quite sure there was a LOT he did off-camera. As long as he's been working on cars & as detailed as he seems.... wouldn't think he'd forget &/or skip something so commonly known & done; so important, ya know? Just a thought. Stay safe & be well.
I was reading online and break caliper grease will lock up your pins. Idk why but there's alot of complaints about it
@@JoseRamirez-yh2ll If you don't grease the pins with the right grease, and if you don't grease (after cleaning with a wire brush) the slots the brake pads sit in you can have premature break wear. I know, it happened to me on multiple cars before I learned this.
Those are some well made shelves behind Scotty. All those books and tools and they are not even sagging. I have seen new houses being built that aren't that sturdy.
This looks so easy more men should kno how to repair their own brakes if necessary. .
😎 I could this myself
Dont look at me. I done the dishes.
Yes, but that's because Scotty is an expert in making car repairs look very easy. In reality you can have setbacks even on a seemingly simple job like this. For instance a piston that won't retract or a brake fluid leak that prompts further (bigger!) repairs.
You would be shocked how many men won't touch a vehicle for even simple repairs. I always hear 'I can afford to pay somebody'. Well, I can as well, but if I can fix it, I rather do it anyway
Women also need to learn how to do this so they don't get ripped off by dishonest mechanics. My kids for sure will have to learn 👍
This is why scotty never get old because he scrolled like little kids. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. I do the same job every day. Thanks scotty.
It's a Dodge.
Surprised Scotty didn't recommend replacing the whole car.
Boston, MA - Every 3 years I replace the calipers, pads & rotors with brand new units. I do this because of all the salt on the roads. When I change the caliper it gives me a chance to flush out the old brake fluid.
When your brake rotor looks like a wood dinner plate
lol
Yes the old intros are back!!!! The best rev up your engines!!
We put on Akabono's, love them
Great Lakes rust belt here, doing front brakes and rotors on my 2009 Buick Lacrosse CXL at this time, old parts are in similar corroded condition.
I'm surprised Scotty doesn't have "Big Nasty" to take those old rotors off.
Honest talented man doing his thing.
You forgot a couple of things. Like check the e-brake shoes clean the hat on the rotor. Adjust the e-brake shoes. Check to make sure that the e-brake cables are not frozen. But besides that. Good job
Timo thinking the same. Missing a few things
And pump the brake pedal before driving to engage the pads
Thanks Scotty, you are the best! God bless you, stay safe!
4:51 the crows are watching while maintaining their distance. 😀😀
Covid Corvids showing up on car vids. :)
AWESOME!! It's seems like forever since we've seen Scotty do a burnout
Front brake
what about the guide pin? NO LUBE!!!
rear brake
You left the whole assemble angling on the hose!!!
If doing so does not kink the hose, it is not a problem. On some cars it does, on others it doesn't.
Compressed caliper with pliers good way to crack the piston
The pistons are made of chrome plated steel, I have NEVER seen nor heard of one cracking
@@johndavidwolf4239 I broke mine on a 90s ford
That is the first I haver heard of it happening, do you remember if it was steel or another metal? If it was not steel, do you know if ford went back to using steel a few years later?
I have saved a small fortune doing my own brakes on my cars over the years!!! I dont know whats worse the rust nyc produces or the labor rates at the shops...
make sure your handbrake is not on when removing the rear rotors
Replaced mine with Akebonos because Scotty said they're good. They are great.
I just got a rim job...
What a brilliant customer. Actually buying the things he needs and more.
Anyone else miss the Corvette intro?
I work as a Dodge technition and the front caliper bracket bolts on those cars are a pita if you use hand tools to remove them. FCA loves the Locktight on the bolts.
Teen: When I grow up I want to be just like scotty.
Adult: Go fix your bike.
Scotty is right about turbos, mine gave out at 150, 000 miles even though I babied it.
Please make the classic intro longer 😅😅😅
*it's time for the scotty kilmer channel 😉
I Agree, let's have the full original intro back.
Scotty throwback burnouts
The old intro threw me. Had to check the upload dates. Thought cabin fever may have set in!
I checked the upload date too
lol same here
There are things that I do that aren't shown on this video on my Holden Commodore :-
- I apply contact adhesive to the face of the brake caliper piston
- I regrease the guide pins with molybdenum disulphide grease
- I replace the brake fluid & bleed the whole entire brake system
- I readjust the handbrake shoes & replace them if necessary
So by the time my car is due for new brake pads I may as well bleed the whole entire brake system,as far as keeping the old brake pads,my mothers 20 year old Toyota Corolla is due for new front brake pads & they have never been replaced !
Believe me scotty i just did my brakes here in wisconsin in the front and they were not fun after a lot of rusty salt.
In PA, my car rusted out before I needed to change the pads.
Never thought the silent stop pads felt cheap... Have used them on all my cars for years without noise or bad wear... I do service the calipers every year though (northern car) gotta clean the rust out... Always get a kick out of your videos though! Keep up the good work
You should be wearing a mask when using those sprays .. One thing we don't want is to lose you ! Great video , keep up the great work .
Thanks Scotty. It so happens I need that.
WOW ... I’m impressed someone’s cheaper then Scotty even the Crows are laughing 😝
Never seen a brake job look so easy.. thank you.. makes me feel like ill be able to change my pads and rotors next time.
Things always look easy on the videos. Then something gets stuck and it takes an hour of figuring/wrestling/sweating/prying and beating to get the first snagged item to cooperate.
I had to double check the date lol
Same here 😅
The last two times I've had to do brake jobs, I had to chisel the pads out of the caliper brackets due to bracket rust under the shims binding them up solid. First time was on my father's car, second was on my own. I was surprised with how much rust was on the brackets when I had to grind them down to make the new pads fit.
Sticky Break caliper grease is your friend, I live in Vermont and find it invaluable.
My favorite is when the rotor is so rusty the hat breaks off while you're beating on the rotor.
i've replaced rotors that i had to beat so much that the disc broke off
Head mounted camera!! nice!..
