"Enjoying it?"... "Nope..."
That's what I call job security :P
First like
Hii im a huge fann
Kidding aside, nice job Ethan! It only gets better dont worry! The more you work on cars, the more you naturally learn ways to do things quicker and easier.
hey guys chris fix here
😂👍 Yeah, I don't think you have much to fear 😂
This is peak entertainment. I would love to see Ethan change just about everything you can, on a car. I'm in tears here haha.
Non car guy replaces pistons and rear axle lol
You're thinking too small. What's the cheapest kit car you can buy? Get him to build the entire thing!
Rotary swap a renault 5
Wtf are you doing here
@@stephenhr6938 Nahh not a Renault 5 put a 6 in a lexmoto thats the stuff of dreams
"THIS WEEK ETHAN CHANGES A CLUTCH"
**Me getting the popcorn**
Shiet, dawg :))
It gonna be the most epic repair video ever
If it's front wheel drive you basically have to take the front underside of the car off, I would not want to watch all that!
*NEXT MONTH - ETHAN CHANGES HEADGASKET AND INSTALLS TURBOKIT WHILE AT IT*
Coming from the motorcycle world a clutch is not hard at all but i dont wanna do one in a car
Meanwhile in a parallel universe
HEY GUYS, Ethan Fix here...
This comment is seriously underrated.
Teaching Chris how to change a clutch.
I think it's more like
Ethan: hello again and welcome to car throttle my name is Ethan (points to alex)
Alex: and I'm alex
Ethan: and today we are going to teach this sorry bloke how to change his breaks (to alex) how do you feel about That?
Alex: I'm going to hate it, I don't like working on cars cuz you get all mucky and grimy
Ethan: well anyway we are going to do it so let's crack on with it shall we?
Ethan: “This might be the greatest thing I’ve ever done”
Alex: “I mean, you’ve had a child, but...”
Ethan: “Oh yeah, good point”
Ahh but was Alex there to help him at that too.
@@dstaffx ⊙﹏⊙
@@dstaffx lmao
If you guys get that bit on a shirt.... Shut up and take my monies!!!
You don't get the same feeling of achievement though. Making a baby a quarter to a half hour of work followed by 18 years of misery 9 months later.
Having nice crisp, sharp brakes is rewarding every corner for hour after hour. 🤷🏻♂️
Me as a qualified mechanic, am genuinely proud of Ethan, that’s seriously impressive
For a first timer, it really is
Hahahhah galbak
While it is definitely not a hard job, it isn't the easiest for a beginner! I too am proud of him (Also a qualified technician)
Yep me too👍😂
Lies, ur on UC
You NEEEED to make a series of this, Buy and MOT failure - like a one with a 2 page failsheet and each week Ethan attempts a job.
So purgatory then. I like it.
Great shout
Ethan is the Chris fix for absolute beginners. He goes slow enough for them to follow along without getting lost 😂
lmao for just first time doing brakes he did a pretty damn good job, but i completely agree chris fix jr
"Without getting lost" Ethan literally forgot which bolt he torque down 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously need an “Ethan does” series or channel.
It’s too painful to watch. Was definitely a struggle for alex and jack to watch 😂
"Ethan does Chris Fix's ass", that sort of thing?
That would be... uncomfortable to say the least
Defo ua-cam.com/video/BH8lAGJ6ObY/v-deo.html
Next video should be "Non-Car Guy Changes Ball Joint" Ethan will love that XD
“Ethan’s got himself caught in a bush” probably the best line.
I preferred "grease deez nuts"
Title of his sex tape.
Mr Roddy haha
when did he say it?
@@RaffyMaBoi 25:39
I know everyone involved is just having a laugh with this whole thing, but but the periodic, instinctive looks of genuine pride and accomplishment from Ethan when something finally works, are just priceless.
And ppl ask us mechanics “why do you swear so much?” U got the answer now
Yeah I hear you bro
If I had as many cuts on my rist as on my hands i'd be in a mental estate 😂
It's just part of the process 😂
I'm a person who tries not to swear, but cars certainly change that.
I love that
Alex: "What's going on?"
Jack: "Ethan's got himself stuck in a bush"
It's like a moment from The Inbetweeners, he's not even doing anything and still managed to get himself into trouble
Lucky Mrs Ethan :-D
@@WalkableBuffalo If someone who gets stuck in a bush by doing nothing is able to change his brakes, anyone can do it :))

I love how you greased the pads but not the guide pins 😂

Also greasing the pad like that just makes it collect brake dust there and causes more problems than it solves...

Hats off to Ethan. Most non-petrol-heads wouldn't even attempt this. Now he has the power to give less money to garages and dealerships. The price of having the p**s taken out of him by his 'mates' is well worth it.
To be fair he had more confidence than most non car guys would because he had all the tools needed and back up mechanic mates in Alex & Jack in the event he got stuck or did something wrong. But yeah, it's nice to see that he was willing to give it a go.
I’m a non petrol head, couldn’t point out the turbo on my car to be honest. But watching these videos with Ethan doing stuff gave me the confidence to change over my rear bumper after my parking sensors failed and I reversed into something, not sure I have the confidence to change anything mechanically yet, at least not on my 2016 f21. But I’ll give changing the brake pads a go just not the discs. Baby steps lol
John Peterson honestly if you are doing your pads and you also need to do the rotors, pads are like 80% of the job, the rotors are the easy part of the job, just undo 2 screws, clean the new ones and fit them. As easy as that. I find more labor on the pads than in the rotors.
This looks like me teaching my nephew something new on his vehicle..... I'm usually Alex when my nephew is working on his car..... I'm just there for moral support
@@edgarmichaelperezruvalcaba7744 Well it is true it's not hard to do the rotors, however if his are still in good shape, not warped or worn down that is, there's really no reason to change them. Rotors do tend to cost a lot on some cars as well.
Ethan : My hands are so dirty!
Also Ethan taking care of his hair every minute 😅
I screemed every time!
Chris fix would have turned the wheel for easier access for the breaker bar.
What’s happened “Ethans got stuck in a bush” 😂😂😂
What kind of bush?
@@justbillyh5566 Not the good kind
@@justbillyh5566 Blackberry bush.
Funniest part of this video 😂
"doesn't say up or down on it anywhere" on the break disk was the pinnacle of entertainment this year.
BRAKE DISK!!!

"How have you lost stuff in two square metres?"
Alex be reasonable, we car guys lose stuff in one square foot then spend 20 minutes searching for it. 😂
Also the piston pushes in a lot easier if you take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir, you might even be able to do it with your thumbs. 😉
do you work on tiny Daihatsus or how the fuck do you push then with your thumbs??
I want to see you try it. You’ll break your thumbs before you can move it, it’s not that easy
I had an apprentice once that i described his order of which is bolts came off a car as a 20foot radius around the vehicle.
I know the feeling about losing stuff lol. Any time I put something down, it's usually on top of the thing I need next and I end up looking for that for ages FFS!! I wouldn't be surprised if I find something I lost well out of my original reach soon....
ChrisFix tutorial: Expectations
Car Throttle torture with Ethan: Reality
this comment should be higher
So true!!
💯 this is so true it's depressing
“How have you lost stuff within 2 square metres?”
Alex has clearly never lost the ever elusive 10mm
Even if you are a mechanic or not, you have lost a 10mm without knowing 😂
I actually found the 10mm not long ago, it was under a piece of furniture in the lounge 😂
I lost one just watching this
I found a 10mm Snap-On spanner the other day. Only a matter of time before I lose it, even if it is not a socket.
Me when working on Hondas: "look at these tiny bolts. Everything's so cute and tiny!"
Ethan: "sorry that's all I got"
This is a truly amazing series and a brilliant concept. Watching Ethan getting all chuffed with himself must be how dads feel watching their kid ride a bike for the first time.
I actually love Ethan’s confident moments

Honestly I buckled when he said 'it doesn't matter if they are up or down' when he was talking about the discs 😂

I just have 1 thing to Say: We need more of 2guys 1car
Season 2. 1 guy 2 cars.
I love these because I can totally relate. You learn more from watching a rookie do things, than an expert.
I love how Ethan is so proud and smiley and cute. It’s adorable
i dont think ive ever seen a man concentrate so hard on changing a brake pad that he forgot he had a child.... but i guess theres a first for everything
That's horrifying that he has a child.
how the hell did he have a child, he asked Alex to do it!!
If you close your eyes and just listen, this sounds like the dirtiest porno ever
20:15 That's a good tip! AHHH! UHHHH!
I'm in tears
😂
9:45 OH MY GOD, LISTEN WITH YOU EYES CLOSED

9:34 “welcome to working on cars”. We all being there, it’s the worst when it happens in cold weather Lol.
FR. I was fixing a thing on my bicycle that was in a bad position, I got it positioned good, and then it slipped and I bashed my knuckle straight into an edge and it hurt quite a bit. I hate working on my bike cus it's got so much screws and shit in weird spots. Like the screw for my kickstand that keeps getting loosened up is in a really tight place that I struggle to get the Allen wrench into. Spent like 10 minutes tightening it when it should be a 30 second fix if it wasn't in such a bad position.
Stops happening when you learn how to reposition yourself so you pull to break bolts instead of pushing haha of course thats not bullet proof sometimes you just can't and you will smash your knuckles.
David Schwartz it’s funny when you simply know what you’re about to do is going to hurt, and there’s nothing to be done about it
@@Sp00kq use a ratchet with a Allen key attachment
This is the most relatable series you guys have ever done. I remember having every one of these moments the first time I changed brakes. 😂
Top tip: Turn the wheel outwards for easier access to the caliper and carrier bolts. Well done, Ethan.👍
Excellent tip, I'd also add to check the brake fluid level when you're done to anyone trying this at home!
Ive been screaming "turn the steering wheel" for about 10 minutes now
yea. access to them callipers
If you only raise one corner you can't turn the steering wheel as the other tire will still be on the ground.
Tibor Pandza yes you can... just start the car lol or unlock the steering
I was looking for this comment. Someone else must be screaming too! The job was made 10 times harder for him.
@@tiborpandza8530 steering will turn easily
Please do more of these, they’re actually surprisingly helpful
Awesome job man 💪🏾 this will be an awesome series. Makes me smile watching this 😁
Alex: "What does this do?"
Ethan: "Push the brakes"
Alex: "Yeah, push the brakes, very good."
Like a parent to their 5 year old!
12:07 shows true car guy spirit "I can find 'x', well I'll worry about that later..." Well done 👍
As someone who teaches adults to work on cars, this video hit a lot closer to home than usual......
i just laughed when he said "this is gonna be so easy", i know theres always doesnt go as planned when working on cars lmao
*It must have been more uncomfortable for Alex to sit and watch than for Alex to stand up and help*
Nah, I don't think Alex is that decent of a person to want to help Ethan either way.
I mean, it's Ethan, after all!
😜😂
I can't just sit down and look while my non-car friends are trying to fix their car. Luckily most of my friends are car guys. I've been a mechanic for years and not allways having to help out is great.
DestructionNL and even then if they do it even slightly differently to how I would do it, they're doing it wrong and I may as well do it for them! (I'm the one who thinks about how to do it and figured it out after friends have stripped bolts and generally messed things up)
Manual impact driver and a sizeable hammer is mans best friend for those disc retaining screws
And they don't need to go back in after
A Draper Impact driver is your friend for those retaining screws. Can even take out badly rounded screws...
Yep, I cringed when he took that wimpy electric driver to it...I have done countless whacks with drivers on those disc screws...
We've all been Ethan at one point in time, it sucks when you're that guy, but it's always fun to be able to teach someone else who is that guy
So happy you are done with your holidays. Pandemic life without you guys is stressful.
Ethans smug face after lowering the car is great and he's already a real mechanic swearing all the time
He basically Jeremy Clarkson
@14:50
"It doesn't say up or down anywhere"
I'm proud of Ethan for taking on these jobs!
It’s amazing how one can learn from someone like Ethan as well! Thanks guys!
Who knew watching someone replace brake pads could be so entertaining 😂
Two blokes with a beard and one who can't grow one advertising razor blades. Good job.
You can shave more than a beard
You can’t grow pubes clearly 😂 thinking you can only shave facial hair. Grow some ball hair then decide to comment you hater
You call that a beard?
You know you shave a neckline right..?
I believe that one day we're going to find out that Ethan is a time-served mechanic and is doing this stuff for giggles.
I thought that everyone knew that Ethan's used to be a mechanic on the Ferrari F1 team.
That would be insane! If that’s true he needs some awards for his acting
@@willemm the way there going he must still be.
Willem Mevius That would certainly explain some things.
@@willemm Oh that's why Williams is no longer fast. Ethan started doing CT
This has everything the plot, great backstory, comedy, action, suspense ,thriller and redemption story
For FUCKS sake, please make this a series 😂 I've never cried laughing more watching a piece of automotive content in my life!
ChrisFix better make a run for his money...
Lol :)
I lost count of the: Alex “wow” and Ethan “it can’t be done” 😂
Great video, love the way Alex is funny as always but actually helpful and helping Ethan figure it out for himself with a little nudge
This is one of the most entertaining videos I've ever seen. Great work guys, keep it up!
There is such a genuine smile on his face when he puts down the car after he finishes the first break caliper. It just brings me joy 22:07
He's like a little kid at Christmas with that face, good job Ethan
We need more of this. Call it "Non-Car Guy Works on Cars" series or something
Second that!!!
Love this kind of content, it's hilarious and informative at the same time, keep it up!
Absolutely love this type of videos !
Ethan the Mechanic is back! 😂 I hope we get MORE of him, i just can't stop laughing with him! 🤣
3:38 Thick hair on video!
ua-cam.com/video/fVQ7lNHTX50/v-deo.html
The look of pure pride on Ethans face, I remember that feeling while i learned to do stuff like that :D
I genuinely love this. Wholesome content
Love watching Ethan do these tasks 😂 fair play to him for trying it and on camera as well 👍🏻
Ethan: “I’m so dirty” 😂😂😂😂 dude has slightly dirty hands 😂😂😂
Yeh. Try changing the plugs on an old buick with a leaking radiator hose and a bad axle boot. Grimey.
"Ahh"
"What's happening?"
"Ethan's got himself caught in a bush"
😂
Best video in a while! Good job Ethan!
Great stuff Ethan! Proud of you!!
My fav moments
When he smashed up his hand.
When Ethan ask if the disks have up and down lol
And Ethan face when he feels the first click or torque wrench
Guys amazing entertainment
I’m just waiting for “A Honda Jazz has had it’s breaks fail and has run over 7 children”
So typical of Ethan to miss the other 3
The Jazz only has the oompha to run over 1 small kid.
Jokes away, that amount of copper grease on disk face will make its way to braking surface due to centripetal force in due time..!
🤣💀
Hey! I just did my first brake change by myself a few days after watching this video. “The best thing you can do in life, is inspire.” And I believe he did that! Thanks a ton! If he can do it, anyone can!
Loving these videos!
watching ethans pain was rather enjoyable i cant lie
You mean when he got himself caught in the bush...?? >X-D
7:43, the most passionate "ow" I've ever heard....
Thoroughly enjoyed lads. Good job ethan
This is, without a doubt, the best CarThrottle video. Ever. Someone else here already said it, but seriously. We need a "Ethan does" series! Never laughed so hard in my life. (Ethan, keep sucking at these things, we all love it and love you for it!)
“Look at THAT! I did that MYSELF!” Get used to that feeling Ethan 😁
One small piece of Dad advice, don't wear your rings when working on anything, so easy for one to get snagged and rip, break or do worse to your finger.
Interesting fact
Thanks Dad :D
Another piece of dad advice, always wear your old clothes or overalls when working on stuff.
One more concerning but often overlooked advice is to grease the Slider Pins aswel.
Binding/Uneven pad wear and squeaking brakes are often symptoms of dry Slider Pins.
All of my jewelry is silicone rubber for this exact reason.
Loving these series,
For some reason I was dying when he told them not to be putting his grubby mitts on the freshly cleaned brakes lol
Blindfold Fix Challenge: Alex blindfolded vs Ethan with blindfolded Jack or Gareth for only nonphysical help.

Alex blindfolded vs Ethan
Should probably have kept an eye on the brake fluid reservoir when winding in all four calipers. Last time I did discs and pads on a car I forgot and ended up with alot of brake fluid in the engine bay
That's because someone added brake fluid when they shouldn't have.
@@dillonbmx16 I was hoping they would top it up before starting, just to see Ethans face when fluid starts dripping out of the engine bay.
That's why I crack my bleeder screws on the caliper before pushing the piston back in. Just top the reservoir off for how ever little bit you end up losing, and bada~bing.
These types of videos are my favourite!! Watching Ethan struggle! Haha 😂
This was surprisingly way more entertaining than a thought I was going to be good work guys make this a regular segment
It’s been a hard day grafting, got a beer from the fridge and now I’ve just seen this pop up. Life isn’t completely fucked!
Love watching Ethan work on cars.
tonight, Alex sits on a chair, Jack roasts Ethan and Ethan names some tools. should have been in the intro
They need to get Jeremy Clarkson to do a voice over for the intro 😂😂
JrH they do
..and Ethan gets stuck to a branch*
So, going to out myself. I AM a car enthusiast and I find this video incredibly helpful as this is something I actually need to do. This, imo, is *the* best way to learn, with someone who knows what they're doing watching and showing you where you're going wrong. It's the biggest thing putting me off
I’ve been working on cars and trucks my entire life and I learned something new from this video. I’ve never seen rotors held on with screws/bolts.
Alternate title: *Watch us slowly kill a man’s self-esteem.*
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
Then film him reading the comments on this video and the self-esteem is through the roof! :D
Love these videos, awesome to see Ethan learning more about cars and even properly identifying parts and tools. Time to get him a project car to get working on!
Watching at 5am before work- crying with laughter at Ethan! Funniest episode yet
This guy is doing way better than I would have done. Ive never done a single fix on a car. never changed oil or oil filter. I have changed tires a few times. Lots of respect for the people who work doing this stuff!
