      I toss empty cans around all the time. Don't see a problem with it. It's your shop. You do you. If they don't like it, they don't have to watch. I'm 40 plus yrs wrenching and tossing. Never had a can blow up on me yet. Unintentionally that is lol. Shit, I'm old

      The satisfaction given by hearing "ANOTHERRR" and seeing a can being flung across the room until it stops moving, priceless

    Okay, regarding throwing the empty cans of Brake Kleen across the shop and people complaining about it. Reminds me of what a mechanic told me about his smoking in his shop. "When somebody complains about it that wants to pay my rent for the place shows up is when I'll quit doing it." SCREW 'em if they can't take a joke.

  • @jwilliams5107
    @jwilliams5107 Год назад +15

    At the assembly plant all the fluids are put in just before the car is started and driven off. Sixty cars come off the line every hour. For the brake system a vacuum is put on the master cylinder. If the system holds a vacuum there are no leaks and brake fluid is injected. All of this happens in 55 seconds. By applying a vacuum to the fuel tank while injecting fuel, 16 to 20 gallons of fuel is put in the tank in that same 55 seconds. Just a little FYI how the factory does things.🙂

      Where I live school kids between 13 and 15 get to go out and experience rea l workplaces a few weeks just so they will have an idea of what to expect from working in whatever business they have an interest. Some companies report an interest in taking on a few kids a year, but often it's parents who has connections that call up and ask if their kids can get to come spend a few weeks.
      Some years back a customer asked an my boss agreed to have his son come and have get some experience working as a IT technician. Now I have to say I didn't remember how insecure kids can be when they come into a shop. Selective memory is definitely a thing. But he got to help with everything from servicing broken machines to building and installing servers.
      Any way, at the last day of the two weeks we had a talk where he could ask any questions and we could get an idea of how his thought his experience had been. I still remember one of his questions that simply was, did we really always have so much fun at work?
      Where his parents worked "fun" was a dirty word. They were always supposed to be professional and joking with collogues were not "professional behavior"...

    It was worth it to go to both channels for a feature length Ray movie.
    Edit: Those that say throwing the empty cans of break clean is not safe are obviously new here, and don't realize you've been doing that for as long as I've been here. It's part of the channel, like "Gravity!", "Popping ze hood" and the engine shutdown sound.
    E2: I can't type for everyone, but I enjoy watching the fluid exchange videos.

    Going to guess by some of the comments you've made, some people have been complaining (more than usual)? Don't appologize Ray. You aren't doing anything wrong, you're videos are fine the way they are. Don't change, you be you, it's why the loyal base have always been here. No matter what you do, there will always be someone complaining, even if you do everything perfect. Do what you do and enjoy what you do.

    @Acura-tech-C Год назад +16

    Hey Ray, just a few things. First I love the sound effects when you first introduce a brakleen can and the I love it when you chunk the empty can down the shop. Ignore the haters and keep doing it. Second, I noticed when you were replacing the brake fluid that you did not use a fender liner. Since brake fluid eats the paint off of surfaces, may I suggest a fender liner on future brake fluid changes. Also everything you stated about brake fluid is absolutely correct. I am an Acura and Honda technician of 29 years and I just thought I would inform you and everyone else that Honda recommends brake fluid change every 3 years regardless of mileage. Last point I would like to make is I noticed you installed those brake pads in the calipers dry. I would use a molykote grease because as you are braking, the friction material going across the rotors vibrate at a high rate (not causing a vibration in the vehicle). This vibration actually cause an audible squeal noise. The molykote grease actually dampens this vibration and keeps inhibits the squeal noise. Keep doing what you are doing brother. I find you to be an excellent technician and I love the content you put out.

Also never ever give up the can throwing it lets of steam and adds a certain disrespect for things that may go boom.

    In our shop, we discovered that cleaning the bore of the caliper was helpful in removing old lubricant. Eric O on SMA uses these bore brushes and long Qtip devices to clean the bore. In addition, we also discovered that pistons were hanging or unevenly applying pressure due to pitting. Pitting was caused by contamination of the brake fluid. Many shops don’t promote brake flushes or power steering flushes, but they’re just as important as replacing your other fluids.

  • @jsteins
    @jsteins Год назад +1

    Great 10:15 explanation on reason to grease calliper slide pins. I have been telling people for 10yrs+ exact same thing...to aLwAyS Lube calliper pins when doing brske job, so the brake pads can re-center on disk/rotor for even pressure every time you step on brakes, and release both pads when foot comes off brake. If slide pins are not 14:52 well lubed as you show, your new brake pads can drag/rub even when foot is off brake pedal, causing brake pads to wear out un-even and MuCh faster.
    (It is surprising the number of people who replace brake pads but give No Thought to greasing slide pins)
    Sometimes those rubber cups on tip of those pins will trap air on hole, and want to push pin back out.

    When I was doing these brake repair jobs in the 70's and 80's we never had a piston compression tool....I'd just loosen the bleed nipple and shove a big screwdriver or tyre lever in there to push the pistons back with the calliper screwed back on and the brake pads out. Oh! One more thing, rotors were called "discs." "Rotors" for us were that gadget on the end of the dizzy shaft.

    Personally, I enjoy seeing the fluid flushes. I take these types of videos to my own mechanic and tell him to do that.

    I like to see fluid exchanges....something I can do myself on my cars.

    I watched both of the previous vids and though I didn't learn any thing I didn't already know, It was enjoyable anyway.

    My dogs love the long video. She can lay down with me for a longer time period.
