      Scotty Kilmer Hi there, I have a quick question. My breaks went out suddenly the other day. My brother came and found it was the rear left brake that was leaking. So he replaced hose and put new cylinder on . After he bleeds them and puts everything together after he test drives it they go out again and he noticed the cylinder pops off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

      I have a 2012 Nissan versa. When I press my brake pedal I have to pump it to get the car to stop, however the abs light isn't on to indicate it's the abs. When I just press it the car keeps rolling as if the brake didn't engage. What causes this?

    Exactly what I said Tyler O'Neill I watched 45 minutes worth of videos of terrible footage and what not and then came across this dude. To the point....Job Done... 3 minutes...which is about what it took me to change that thing. Will definitely come back to him for future help!

  • @scottykilmer

    Thank you Scotty!!! Your videos are the best on the internet - your audio quality is clear, the pacing of your instructions is great. You get right to the point while keeping your instructions clear and easy to follow, while including quick tips along the way that others don't think to mention. I'm checking your channel first from now on whenever I need guidance on a repair. I wasted so much time yesterday looking at very long, drawn-out videos on this particular project.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  11 лет назад +2

    you don't need any stinking hoses. When the air is gone, it stops burping gas out the bleeder and sends pure liquid out. Been doing it that way 45 years, just put a drain pan under if you don't like the mess.

    I greatly appreciate your video. Out of all the videos on here, yours was the best one. I just finished a rear brake job on my 06 HHR and it was a horrible experience. I don't ever want to go through that ever again. The worst part were the main springs. Took two days to finish. Thank you for all your help!

    Hey thanks for this. I noticed fluid under my rear tire and looked up to see that is was brake fluid seeping out of the drum. Came in to do a search on the issue and yours was the first link identifying this problem. I can do this..

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  11 лет назад

    most cars have adjusting bolts on the cable, either near the e brake arm as in toyotas, inside the car, or under the car at the back. The bolts are just tightened to shorted the cable and make it tighter

  • @peter11772
    @peter11772 11 лет назад

    I use to turn wrenches too and i think you left an important fact out of the equation.
    When the bleeder screw is loose for any wheel, the brake pedal should NOT under any circumstance be pushed to the FLOOR! As you and i both know corrosion builds up inside the master cylinder behind the seals because there is hydralic pressure that does not let you go past a certain point inside the master. The brake pedal should only be pumped gently and only so far, and not floored!

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  11 лет назад

    I really don't understand what you're asking. BUT, the e cable is not adjustable on that model, you have to rpelace the callipers in the back if you have rear disc brakes and problems with the emergency brakes not working

  • @runneryg
    @runneryg 8 лет назад

    You're the man... mine is Renault Master Rear Back Brake Caliper. i thought it was brake pipe that was licking but it it's not will have to take the wheel off to find out for sure, then bleed it, as i have no brakes at all.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  11 лет назад

    hard to say, but easy to diagnose. Get some UV leak dye and put it in the engine oil, then see if the green dye shows up in the reservoir. If not, then put the dye in t he transmission fluid and see

    Pretty good video, but I would recommend not using wire clippers when taking the spring on and off. That way you won't have to worry about squeezing too hard and snipping right through the spring. Use needle nose pliers instead.

    another good vid..thank you..but perhaps title should be 'replacing drum brake cylinder' ? Air kept getting into the rear brakes on yy 2000 Corolla after a few bleeds. I put paper underneath and pumped brakes a dozen times, and left it overnite. Sure enough, was a leak in the line under the cabin, which happens a lot in that model. Not much fluid was leaking out, but ALOT of air was getting sucked in..replaced line and brakes are nice a solid again.

  • @jeremiahsmith6689
    @jeremiahsmith6689 11 лет назад

    when i pulled the old master cylinder off the snap ring was bowed out and plenty of fluid inside the booster on the rubber boot the brake cylinder on my driver side rear was already leaking on the out side of the drum by the bleader [really crusty] was a 1/4 inch sized bleader i was happy the new ones were 3/8. i dont have to pump up my brakes to get pressure anymore thats what i mean by much better

    if nothing works after you done all,maybe visit the dealer to try throttle body calibration,it will probably need it especially now you have cleaned it.or if youdo.t got to dealer try this.check vacum leaks like mr scotty said and if its ok leave the battery terminals out for 24 hours that will reset the computer And throttle body initial position.

    Dear Scotty! My car was shaking while pressing the brakes! I replace the pads & rotors! My car shakes much less now, but it still shakes a little! I noticed on the passenger side, that a inner - Brake pad was more worn out the the outer! Do you think is the caliper pressing morevon the inner pad? Should I replace the calipers?

    Is it true that a leaking cylinder can cause the wheels to lock up? Was told by my mechanic a few months ago that if I didn't get this fixed that my wheels would lock and I wouldn't be able to drive it. Wanted about 450 bucks for the job and I almost have enough saved up for it

    • @scottykilmer
      @scottykilmer  9 лет назад +1

      Roxas3310 brake fluid is a lubricant, it won't make things lock up, but it could cause a fire if enough leaked on hot brake parts when braking hard.
