Yes, note no injury there, on the other side, however, because Levi was using the masonry block as his chew toy, Andrew had to fall back to using the spare tire - guaranteed big bruise came from that interaction.
Loved the cinder block removal trick! I once used a steel Scuba dive tank to encourage a stuck wheel to let go. Andrew, thank you for no commercials, & no request for thumbs up. Your practical way of doing things is fun to watch! -Thumbs up!-
Yeah, I squealed when the wheel flew at you! My Mitti bitti SUV will be 20 years old this November. 260000km and never missed a beat. My Dad bought it for me to learn in when I was 15 and I still have it. I've had other cars as well, and it's no longer my daily driver, but I'll never get rid of it, I'll drive it til it dies.
10:55 .... man, I love the camera angles you find to ensure we see it all. Others would not bother and just say "it was difficult to access, but I got it done" yet you spend the time to get the camera in place for us. Thank you so much!
I fell off my chair laughing at 1:25. I know nothing about cars so I found you throwing a cinder block at the tire to get it off hilarious. One year later after subbing and you are still the best channel on this site, hands down.
Your pins that the caliper and the pads run on are all rusted up. That is why your pads are shot on just one side of the rotor. Lots of brake grease during reassembly will help a lot.
Thanks for the great video mate ,here in Australia they call these Mitsubishi challengers ,they are based on their ute the triton with the full ladder chassis ,they are one great little 4x4 had one years ago ,towed trailers off road mainly beach camping ,son now has one and he beats on it like a red headed step child ,and it just keeps going .One thing I've learnt is spraying used cooking oil underneath coating chassis and floors and drive on a dirt road ,which helps it set protecting it from rust .Cheers from down under.
Love the cider block trick. You need some anti-seize on those brake disks to stop the corrosion. Levi really seems to have sense of I need to back up and stay away.
Your channel is my favorite on UA-cam! I live vicariously through you. You are an inspiration too many. We appreciate you and all the content you create. It is my understanding that when compressing the caliper you should have the fluid reservoir uncapped/open so that the pressure can be relieved and fluid can back flow.
Andrew, some hints from someone who has spent a lot of summers changing brakes: - To remove tires: Hammer the inside of the rim with a nylon hammer. Takes 2 hits max. - To remove disks with handbrake drum included: Do not hammer them like you did. You can adjust the tension of the hand brake through a little hole next to the rim screws. Use a little light, untight the shoes from inside and disk comes out easy. - Try to get copper grease for the brakepads. Set it where the metal of the brakepads touches the brake calipers. Keep up your awesome videos!
Nobody sprays WD40 on such stuck wheel. If you have a flat next to the highway you are going to wait for WD40? I’ve used spare wheels many times to smack them off. Doesn’t harm anything and the job is done in a second. If the WD40 gets inside the brake then you’re screwed.
Love your channel Andrew!! Thanks for all of the information you share and the laughs you provide. Never thought excavating would be so enjoyable to watch but your videos are perfect for my attention span and perfectly edited the way you speed it up at the right times to keep on pace. AWESOME Channel, keep it up!!
Andrew, being the inside brake pad was worn and not the outside, means the sliding pins aren't doing their job. You need equal wear on the pads or you should either change the caliper or lubricate the sliding mechanism. Otherwise you will have the same problem again with the new pads. The caliper leaking brake fluid is very dangerous. I would instantly either rebuild or replace that caliper if I saw that when recessing the caliper piston if you had the brake fluid reservoir open while you used the C clamp to recess the piston. Your, and other people's safety depends on it working right even if the rear brakes only do 20% of the work. If the one rotor has brake fluid on it and you have an emergency stopping situation it could cause you to go into a spin. Great work on the videos, love watching them, keep them coming. :)
@AstronomyToday At least when a gravel or dirt road gets wash boarded or develops potholes you can just run a tractor or dozer over it, that's what my grandfather did for years at his place. Got all the neighbors to chip in some money for a load of gravel once every 4-5 years and then spread it with his tractor.
Timothy D, Andrew’s stated in the past that he’s got a few roof leaks going on and the place is not insulated. I’m sure he’s up there quite a bit in the summer.
The two bolt holes in the rotor are so you can thread bolts into them and get the rotor off without having to pound on it so much and I would also put on anti seize on the face of the wheel bearing assembly and on the face of the rotor which touches the tire just to make it easier to get off later.
get it done Andrew, what makes it so interesting for me is, you have the equipment, the energy, perseverance and a natural sense of what to record and what to edit, i always look forward to viewing your upcomin challenges, successes and the occasional unknown curve ball that as a hitter Andrew you always hit them outa of the park cause of your love for the game and it shows, that what makes it for me (also your love for Levi) so in the spirit of always moving forward, thanks for taking me along once again
Have to say, of all the people I subscribe too, I never get board with Andrews. His abilities as, mechanic, builder, plumber, electrical and many more is amazing. Nothing is too old or too out of shape and shows you don’t need the best and newest of everything to get a job done. Keep er lit (Irish supporter)
I always enjoy your videos. As a mechanic, replace that caliper as the piston seal is leaking. Or better yet take the caliper apart and rebuild it, would make for a great video.. also polish and lube those slide pins so the brake pads do not stick
Andrews face when he hit the tire with the tire.....He was like.....shit, did anyone see that? Oh right, I can just edit this. Then he doesn't. So it was funny. I LOL'd for real. My wife like....what you doing in there?
Using the spare tire to get the original tire off is quite a common way to do it... Though, if you do it a meter off the ground then you’re asking for what you saw in the video.
Open the Brake Fluid cap when compressing the calipers or it can cause a caliper to leak when compressing it. I put Aluminum exhaust system on my 1976 Dodge truck and no rust or leaks for decades now. Was glad to see a new video.
Always add anti-seize or a layer of brake grease to the hub surface of the rotor and to the inside face of the rim to make it easier to take apart next time
One thing someone else mentioned is at the beginnings, you cut right to the video. No liking, subscribe, bell, merch... No 5 minutes of non sense for a 10 minute video!
Been pressing brake pistons back in with a C clamp for many years and never had one leak fluid like that (replace it). The rust you guys deal with is REAL. I'm in Vegas and planning to move to Kentucky, guess I should get a couple extra cinder blocks and stock up on cut-off wheels and grade 8 hardware lol. Great video, Andrew - keep em coming =)
@@throngcleaver he definitely not caliper busted should have replaced the leak right away plus the pins. He didnt fix it so many steps he missed. Those brakes will fail with in 48 hours
I've been watching Andrew's work for the last year or two prolly longer. Sometimes I fast forward just to watch later and see something I may have missed. Other times I watch 'em again because to be honest, Andrew is a high-light of the day rerun or not . I mean this guy is so smart, honest and wise beyond his years, respects his dad, he is super positive,( EVEN THE VIDEOS WHERE HE'S "DISSED", HE SHOWS NO ILL WILL), not like some you-tubers. Although one can tell he's angry he'll not lash out. good job dad,(THAT'S TO YOUR FATHER HE RAISED YOU PROPER WITH "OLD SCHOOL" AND A WHOLE LOTTA RIGHTEOUS MANNERS). GO TEAM ANDREW CAMARATA ! !
parteibonza the weather is cool it’s winter down here I’m from just north of Sydney and the temperature is 15deg c (59deg f) sunny with a few showers today
Andrew- couple helpful tips when doing brakes. 1. When a wheel is stuck to the brake. Leave one lug nut on a couple threads when getting it off the seat. That will keep it from becoming a projectile. 2. With that style of caliper it may easier to install the pads with the caliper still attached to the hub. 3. When you see an issue like one side of the rotor really worn down, that is usually a sign that the caliper slides are not working properly. You should pull them out and investigate. If the slides are bad, they Usually are sticky or the line has turned to rusty lube. 4. When compressing the brake piston, I like to crack the bleeder and then compress it. It makes it easier and gets the old brake fluid out of the caliper and fills it with new stuff Love your videos!
I am looking for property in the Catskill /Saugerties area and hope to aquire it in the near future. You will be my first call. Your work ethic and ability to find ways to make things work are second to none and a rare gem these days. Well done with the channel as well.
Great video Andrew...seeing things like this helps when I need to work on something. You told them it popped...they said "What's your address?" Now THAT is true customer service & warranty replacement! It is sad that this is not still the normal in today's world.
*DRIVERS SIDE REAR.... Should clean those Pad Pins every time and ad some White Grease or Anti Seize on the pins, that's why the inner pad went bad... the outer pad isn't or was barely moving due to lack of lubrication on the Pad Pins, thus barely pushing on the rotor!*
I like how he always just fixing stuff himself and never buying new. Keep the old stuff running. My newest truck around here is a 2010 f150 but the only reason I have that is a kid wanted to trade me for an old 2004 f350 regular cab 2wd 6.0 with 450k miles I had. the 2010 is crew cab 4x4. So I traded even up. Keep up with the great videos Andrew.
Ive never tried those types of air helper springs before. Ive used Monroe air shocks and they're great. They ride so smooth and can be aired up to give you 1000 more pounds of capacity. You just have to make sure that your shock mounts are decent
That lift was the best thing since a pocket on a shirt for you. I see your busy making videos again. Levi is showing his age. Make sure his pillows are just right!! Love the videos Andrew
I live in Phoenix, Arizona and the rust issues you have to deal with amaze me. It's so dry here it takes many decades for anything to fail because of corrosion.
The calipers will need replacing mostly due to the d/s rear leaking but also you are to ALWAYS clean up the slides and pins so the pads can slide wo any rust
Hello Andrew! Your videos are really authentic. I'm really surprised what you do there. It's fun to watch you. No matter what job you do, it always works. I have great respect for it !!! 👍👍👍👋
I absolutely love your editing. The content alone is mesmerizing and incredible, but paired with your eye for editing takes it to another level. Really happy to see your channel taking off.
So the rail grease can collect salt and grit and making grinding compound? My rails are covered and they still ask you not to grease them. I did it Anyway, but here I wouldn't.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and get a feeling there is a new video from Andrew, and sure enough I'm almost never wrong. Keep doing what your are doing (and what makes you happy)! You're the man, my dude.
Yes, 'shocks' are really dampers. The real 'shock absorbers' are the springs. It's a common misconception over here well Andrew. BobUK. PS. Any more videos today? Cheers!
you spend so much energy just filming these and then work your ass off at the actual stuff in the video, then you fucking edit them too. holy shit man you're a beast
@@Don.Challenger well I live in southern California, so my tolerance for weather isn't very high, even here. I require 260+ days minimum of sunshine and lollipops, t-shirt and shorts weather!
Again There was allot in what LEVI said at the beginning of this video. He seems to have a way of explaining what your about to do. Great job Andrew and as always LEVI is the MAN !!!!!!
Andrew, watching you beat the shit out of the wheels with that cinderblock and the other tire had to have been the hardest I've laughed in a really long time. Thanks for not editing stuff like that out of your videos, it makes them so much more entertaining!
Thank you sir, you just saved me $100! Called Air lift and they are sending me 1 free bag to replace the one that failed last week free of charge with a 2 day ship. Awesome!
You didn't grease your pins that's why your rotor was warn on one side. A little never seize between the rim and the rotor will help in getting the rim off.
Good job, a few tips : when you take off your brake disks spray some fluid film on the surface of the wheel hub , that will prevent it from sticking too bad for next time. lube the pins and slide surfaces of the caliper. next time youre taking off your wheel by smashing stuff on it , screw one nut on just barely so it doesnt come flying :)
Andrew I'm a mechanic. If that left hand caliper was leaking don't use it replace it or get a seal kit for it if the piston isn't rusty. if you do take it apart, you can leave on the hose and unbolt it from the hub hang it over a tray and remove the pads and pump it out as this is the easiest way to get it apart quickly. If you have it off the car you can use an airline or screw a grease gun into the hose hole. If the piston is pitted or rusty get another piston or whole caliper. The caliper body rusts between the outer groove for the dust boot and the groove for the seal. Carefully sand this area until the piston slides in with out the seal. Clean out the grooves and use brake cylinder assy lube. Lube up the seal before you put it in . lube the piston sit it down on the bench and put its dust boot on and stretch it over the body of the piston a little. Sit the piston and boot onto the caliper and carefully fit the bottom edge of the boot into its groove. then push the piston in squarely. you may need the G clamp for that. As the piston goes it the boot should pop back into its groove on the piston. refit bleed and check its operation.
Another addition to my toolkit, concrete block.
Don't forget to bring your SUV tire when it gets really tough.
Good one

Give 'em a good bricking", like I always say. I't works well with the In-Laws.'

I laughed my *** off at how he looked up at the camera, ALMOST SMILED, then looked away real quick.
yeah :-). I wonder why he did not put a nut back on so that the wheel does not come flying of.
@@egomaniac247 his body language said it all. A classic moment.
us: how many videos you gonna drop this week?
andrew: yes.
*send it

All of them!

probably buying his 10th excavator and wants some extra money
I wish l could see Discount Tire’s cinder block wheel removal tool! Good video Andrew, informative and well photographed
Whats informative? To put a leaking caliper back on a car? LOL
We all know Andrew is a cowboy. Still informative
I use the tire trick. But a smaller tire. lol. The block could slip and damage the rim. A rubber tire won't.
Concrete, not cinder, not cement.
I tend to use an 8x8 timber section to loosen stuck rims.
Loved the cinder block removal trick! I once used a steel Scuba dive tank to encourage a stuck wheel to let go. Andrew, thank you for no commercials, & no request for thumbs up. Your practical way of doing things is fun to watch! -Thumbs up!-

The slide pins in the caliper need lubrication or the brakes will drag.
Brakes wont last long without pin grease. Probably why the inside one was all ground out.
Andy, you really should have lightly lubed those pins. Actually you should have replaced those pins and lubed.
@@mikejohnson9118 no he should have taken them to a grinding wheel clean the rust off then lubed it

leaking caliper is not good also you should have cleaned the pins and the sliders
Knowing his style of mechanics he probably thinks the leaking fluid will lubricate the brake parts

That lift was the best thing since a pocket on a shirt for you. I see your busy making videos again. Levi is showing his age. Make sure his pillows are just right!! Love the videos Andrew
Great vid Andrew I've done services and you done a better job then me 😂👍👍
I live in Phoenix, Arizona and the rust issues you have to deal with amaze me. It's so dry here it takes many decades for anything to fail because of corrosion.
Damn, it's corrosive where you live. Your videos rock...
Looks like he lives on a dirt road.
Your car is never free of dirt.
That car is actualy loocking good
That car is really solid. Some rust out really fast. That salt should no longer be used on roads.
I think they even put a salt brine on the dirt roads in the summer to keep the dust down. Figure that. No wonder they call it the rust belt.. 🇬🇧
@@AndrewCamarata You're a very hard working man.
A no frills video that had my complete attention. I think Andrew is some sort of hypnotist.
every handyman should have a leather lazy chair and a ciment block at his disposal X-) Love your vids man !!
Has he ever sat in that chair though, seems to be on the go all the time...!
The calipers will need replacing mostly due to the d/s rear leaking but also you are to ALWAYS clean up the slides and pins so the pads can slide wo any rust
I've been keeping an eye on it. The caliper is dry.
Andrew Camarata Once it leaks that means that the seal around the piston is no good and is highly recommended to replace both calipers at once
Yeah !!!! Thanks for sharing Andrew (prior to watching) :)
Hello Andrew! Your videos are really authentic. I'm really surprised what you do there. It's fun to watch you.
No matter what job you do, it always works. I have great respect for it !!! 👍👍👍👋
I love that wheel removal kit.
I absolutely love your editing. The content alone is mesmerizing and incredible, but paired with your eye for editing takes it to another level. Really happy to see your channel taking off.
Also love that you use an impact on everything.
Thanks again, I thought I was dreaming lol 😂 you are one beast of a mechanic that always gets the job done, the drone view at the end was spectacular!
That is a classic Camarata "getter done" move with the cinder block! Thanks for all the entertainment Andrew!
You didn't clean the brake piston before pressing it back in. You didn't grease the rails (the two pins that go through the pads.
So the rail grease can collect salt and grit and making grinding compound? My rails are covered and they still ask you not to grease them. I did it Anyway, but here I wouldn't.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and get a feeling there is a new video from Andrew, and sure enough I'm almost never wrong. Keep doing what your are doing (and what makes you happy)! You're the man, my dude.
Yes, 'shocks' are really dampers. The real 'shock absorbers' are the springs. It's a common misconception over here well Andrew. BobUK. PS. Any more videos today? Cheers!
No one else shows maintenance in such great detail, I learn something new every video I watch.
"ok that's good. that's probably fixed."
you spend so much energy just filming these and then work your ass off at the actual stuff in the video, then you fucking edit them too. holy shit man you're a beast
if that place didn't turn into a frozen hellscape every winter i'd like to live there.
For most all of Canada and a few north eastern states that is what we call close to Florida.
@@Don.Challenger well I live in southern California, so my tolerance for weather isn't very high, even here.
I require 260+ days minimum of sunshine and lollipops, t-shirt and shorts weather!
Again There was allot in what LEVI said at the beginning of this video. He seems to have a way of explaining what your about to do. Great job Andrew and as always LEVI is the MAN !!!!!!
Awesome way to start my day!!!
YA KNOW ANDREW, THAT IS THE ONE AND ONLY THING I DON'T MISS ABOUT LIVING IN UPSTATE NEW YORK: THE RUSTED ON EVERYTHING!!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
ChrisFix would be mad at you for not cleaning the surfaces between parts
Andrew, watching you beat the shit out of the wheels with that cinderblock and the other tire had to have been the hardest I've laughed in a really long time. Thanks for not editing stuff like that out of your videos, it makes them so much more entertaining!
Another video hell yeah thanks andrew
Thank you sir, you just saved me $100! Called Air lift and they are sending me 1 free bag to replace the one that failed last week free of charge with a 2 day ship. Awesome!
Yeah, it said life time warrantee. There is an old video on here where I initially installed that kit.
No cleaning fluid like what Eric O. does in Avoca, NY.
Yeah, not quite the way Eric O does it. Wonder if Eric knows he could go to the cinder block when Big Nasty fails.
SouthMainAuto
You have a real talent for filming and editing.
Hey I’m a 15 year old and I love watching your videos and I wanna drive excavators and stuff you have any tips for me
He anticipated your question and answered it a few years ago, here: ua-cam.com/video/mkSwl2i9IkA/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing your amazing story, God bless you and your family
You didn't grease your pins that's why your rotor was warn on one side. A little never seize between the rim and the rotor will help in getting the rim off.
Dan Godbout agree 100%
Also anti-seize between rotor and hub
Your drone shots are some of the best!! Keep up the great work.
Well.I just figured out where the neighbors missing clothes line went.
Good job, a few tips : when you take off your brake disks spray some fluid film on the surface of the wheel hub , that will prevent it from sticking too bad for next time. lube the pins and slide surfaces of the caliper. next time youre taking off your wheel by smashing stuff on it , screw one nut on just barely so it doesnt come flying :)
"Alright this video is done time to upload another"
Andrew I'm a mechanic. If that left hand caliper was leaking don't use it replace it or get a seal kit for it if the piston isn't rusty. if you do take it apart, you can leave on the hose and unbolt it from the hub hang it over a tray and remove the pads and pump it out as this is the easiest way to get it apart quickly. If you have it off the car you can use an airline or screw a grease gun into the hose hole. If the piston is pitted or rusty get another piston or whole caliper. The caliper body rusts between the outer groove for the dust boot and the groove for the seal. Carefully sand this area until the piston slides in with out the seal. Clean out the grooves and use brake cylinder assy lube. Lube up the seal before you put it in . lube the piston sit it down on the bench and put its dust boot on and stretch it over the body of the piston a little. Sit the piston and boot onto the caliper and carefully fit the bottom edge of the boot into its groove. then push the piston in squarely. you may need the G clamp for that. As the piston goes it the boot should pop back into its groove on the piston. refit bleed and check its operation.
andrewkiwi1 calipers are cheap enough. I’ll just replace it. It’s not loosing fluid though. If the fluid gets low I’ll change it. Thanks.
