About MiataTravels:
My cat and I are getting in my 1991 Miata in 2020, and we’re traveling to all 50 states. The biggest part of the audience for this trip, I think, will be Miata enthusiasts. So, until the trip begins, this channel and my social media will be geared toward a general interest in Miatas and the people who drive them. Once the trip is underway, we’ll switch to 100% coverage of the trip, the people we meet, and the things we do all across the country. Please share what I’m doing with your friends!

Let's talk about Betty and our drive across the country. A leisurely drive in the country. Yes, I know. Much of the video is jittery. I don't have good camera mounts, yet. But my next few videos will be shot in my garage.
How far would you drive a 30-year-old Miata?

Yes, Really! In the spring of 2015, I bought a GoPro camera to film some of my driving in my '91 Miata. I needed to practice, first, so I went to spillway at Beaver Dam in Northwest Arkansas. I tried a few different placements and just filmed the car from the ground, too. Don't judge my channel by these first few videos. I needed something to add to a "video" channel.

    Great stuff - in addition to the 'back out a third of turn once the adjuster is snug' comments, do watch out for that hex adjuster. Mine came out on release of the cover screw and I didn't notice. I spent a long time trying to get various allen keys to do something, and thought it had been stripped. Until I saw it on the ground. (Easier to notice if you're on a smooth floor in a quiet garage, but I was on a gravel drive near a road). And don't forget to release the handbrake first!

    Thanks so much for this! Clear and concise video and verbal instruction, so much easier to see it than try to read line by line in the Haynes repair manual. First one took a some time just understanding all the nuances, was able to do the second one flying solo in under 10 minutes! I’m reasonably competent with basic mechanical work, but hadn’t done brakes before. Everything worked great the first time. THANKS!!!

    uuuh / I think you need to clean that flat hub' area on the rotor, between the lug studs, with a wire wheel, and the back side of the mating wheel' surface, then put some antiseize on em.

    This was not the problem on mine. In fact, loosening my screw made it better. The fix was that the spring behind that plate the screw goes in wasn't in the right place. I removed it, bent the ends so they were a little more grabby, and put it back in, hooking one end over the plate that moves and one end over the fixed point and now it's good as new. (note I did have my window removed at the time, which made this easier.

    I found it easier to put the M clips back in AFTER the caliper was back in and holding the pads, it doesn't block the clips.

    Well, I had a right of phaf getting the new pads in as they wouldn't slide onto the clips, probably half a mm shy. Took me ages, finally found there was a layer of rust just under where the clips are raising them slightly. A quick sand down and they went on a treat. 😃

    Yeah I don't agree with tightening the emergency break to the point you can't turn the hub, lol with no emergency brake applied, you need to just make sure the emergency brake can still be applied and the hub won't move, but when not engaged, that hub should be free enough to move but not freely spin. This is what naturally slows the vehicle down without applying any brakes be it automatic or manual cars, disc brakes or drum brakes. Otherwise you will lock the wheels up or have it too tight that when you drive your brakes will begin to smoke and turn several awesome shades of red. There's a reason mechanics have to be certified to work on the brake system, so be careful you can do serious damage to where you will need to take it to a professional and not save any money, damage to your wheels or worse not be able to stop and endanger your life and those around you on the road. Not all cars brakes are like this too so keep that in mind. So I'd suggest, if you are new to working on your vehicle, buy a repair manual, watch several not just one video on how too, ask a friend if they work on cars and if they can help you or supervise. I've been working on cars for 35 years and I've seen where someone has gone in and didn't know what they were doing made things worse, shitty workmanship, or my favorite, "Well, my Son, or my neighbor's Son, said he could do it....". Gnaw! (Na/No). Yeah this isn't a bad video, he means we'll, but you definitely do not want that hub that tight without the emergency brake applied. It needs to move until the brakes are applied either peddle or hand brake. This was not how I would have done these brakes, I tend to be more thorough, this is a how to quick (too quick) video. Also I forgot, take pictures on your phone of the hardware setup if new to this, before you begin for good reference as you put things back together. Try to keep things that went together lol together, take note of how the pads are in there their orientation and direction. And try to buy a complete new kit if you can don't cheap out on your LIFE!!!! And hope to save money by reusing old parts you hope won't fail after seeing 60k or more miles. Alright I'm done peace all!

    Did anybody notice the springs on the outside of the v at the beginning of the video ua-cam.com/video/N-1HjYya5xU/v-deo.html , maybe its to protect the spring from the spinning rota? this is such an amazing and detailed video if i may say, thank you!

  • @34TR3m

    I have a different problem: The outside lash will not flush with the door. Even if you push it from the outside. I think this is because the previous owner (an elderly man) couldnt grap the handle easily anymore and ajusted it to stick out in close/default position. How do I retrun it to a default position being flush with the door again? Do I need to dismantle everything as well?

    Thank you for sharing this how to video… My daughter and I both now own a 91 and 92 Miata and we changed our breaks thanks to you and it was Flawless 😊 these are both project cars and we are doing all the maintenance ourselves and learning as we go since these Miata‘s are so easy to work on… I would really love to see more videos! I know it’s been like three years since you put a video out and I would love to see how you’re doing and if you did your cross-country road trip & how that went. We are in Central Florida and Miata‘s have such a big following here with car meets and batting our eyes to follow Miata Lovers on the street. Best investment of my life… I love my Miata
