Nicely done. Quick, Clear. Precise, no fluff.
I have learned so much from your videos! I'm load testing my wiper motor today after watching your video on it and started watching the rest of them too. I hope you grab a sport cam you can wear on your forehead or something so you can keep making awesome videos. You do a really thorough job and you're easy to understand and follow. Thanks again!
This was quite informative. I've actually used it today 👍
Great quick video. Thanks for passing that knowledge. Keep it coming.

You are the best mechanic on you tube, your videos helped me out a lot, I was subscribed to you channel, looks like good old YT un-subscribed me.
An odd one for me. X system on I think an Escort. RF and LR on one port of master, LF and RR on the other port. In 5 miles RF would lock up, smoking hot. Customer had replaced calipers and hoses, gave up, brought it to me. I found that the master was not releasing on one port, noticed the LR was dragging also. This happens also on the X system when a rear cylinder leaks even slightly, not allowing fluid to be sucked from the paired front caliper when the pedal is released. In your example, I would also check the master cylinder by reapplying the brake and loosen the metal line between the rubber hose and the master cylinder. Then try spinning the hub. I've found over the years, if you've got an unexplained, odd brake problem it's usually the master cylinder.
You make it sound like you're done. But you're not done. You have to replace that section of line from the caliper to the metal bracket.
Brake hose* known for swelling and causing sticking brakes. If you open brake bleeder and nothing comes out probably have a swelled hose
Doo you have a video on the hydraulic system replacement?
Nice explanation. But, my problem is is both sides lock. Fyi, I have braided aftermarket brakelines. Could it be a proportioning valve not adjusted properly. I recently had mines changed.
I had this problem with the same symptoms and replaced the brake hose with no luck. Long story short, the adjustable rod from the brake booster if it can be making contact too much to the master cylinder it will hold brake pressure and can do it to just 1 wheel. The air gap between the rod and master cylinder on this vehicle is suppose to be .016" Very close.
so if releasing the bleeder doesnt shoot out fluid, then its the caliper?
If fluid shoots out, then its a blockage in the line?
I can't believe schools charge to learn stuff like this but all the information about fixing vehicles is free on youtube, more insightful than learning about it in a book .
Which btw I can't learn from reading I need visual , hands on.
If I had to learn about any subject on my own, I could do it much faster and more efficiently online, than I could in a school setting. If course I won't be given a degree this way lol. But yeah school can be a very inefficient way of learning, and so overpriced, in North America anyway.
Dp you need to bleed your break after you open the bleeder to release pressure from the caliper ?
I’ve had more bad hoses due to the mounting brackets having so much rust that it pinches the hose shut. Good old Wisconsin winters.
Interesting angle for us northerners!
Hi
2013 Ford Escape 1.6 SEL, Brakes Squealing when backing, thoughts?
That rotor should turn easier than that. When broke bleeder loose. Them sliders or pad groves are causing some of it.
Hi Bro! what if the caliper itself is moving
when you apply and release the break? what is the problem? thanks.
So how do you solve this issue in this case then? Change the brake hose with a new one?
Hi, my mom's husband sent this to me. To clarify, would these be something that would explain a jerking motion while stopping? And when it gets hot, it sounds as if it's grinding?
do all 4 wheels need to be jacked up first?
If it were to be the caliper that’s sticking rather than the hose failing how would we diagnose that and fix it? Just replace entire caliper?
I've actually replaced more hoses than calipers for brake dragging complaints.
Hmnmmmm....
wow and this solved all the issues? I just replaced a caliper and hasn't fixed so waiting for hose to arrive. I really hope it isn't a mad master cylinder.
Update. Ends up being the master cylinder. Replaced caliper and hose for the wheel affected. Since bleeding that caliper. Now all wheels are dragging slightly. Before it was just one.
so the master cylinder changed all wheels dragged still?@@KilliKonKarnage
@@charlesyii8963 have yet to change master cylinder and brake booster but is most likely the culprit
After the fix it was still sticking a bit, shouldn't it spin without the two metals touching? It's like biking while applying the brakes a bit, it uses a lot of fuel. I mean shouldn't the brakes and the metal be apart from eachother?
Yeah see many flex hose act like a Check Valve .. Mobile Disk Brake Service Austin Texas 💫
My brother just had it happen exactly like you said to his 2011 GMC Arcadia brought it AAA service shop and told my brother $10,000 to fix all these issues. They lied through there teeth
How much drag is normal? Should you have some resistance spinning the wheel?
You could see it had resistance when he spun it after he released it .
I got new rotors, new pads, new caliper on drivers side, but the piston drags when releasing the brake pedal, what could cause this? 🤔
Caliper is crooked from nib --- made in ghinia......slight drag...for weeks...
Is it possible that both front brakes would drag at the same time due to both hoses going bad at the same time? When I open the bleeder my brakes release like you did in the video. It does it after driving for 3-5 minutes then start dragging and then I have to open bleeder screw.
mine does the same thing after 10 mins of driving, both front calipers squeeze. then id have to stop. but then it would release sometime later. its like a never ending cycle lolol
I replaced caliper and brake hose and it’s still sticking. Bled brakes 2x, have a firm pedal, just dragging still and I’m at a lost. Could there be air in master cylinder? Or is it due to uneven brake pad wear?
I did all of the same and mine is still sticking too.
New brakes, rotors, and lines
@@lavarstarzz7811 I have new wheel Hubs rotors and pads new caliper new brake hose new wheel speed sensor I bled master cylinder and did an abs bleed with scanner and still sticking 🤦♂️
when i park on a slight hill and stop then press hard on my brakes then let off the brake peddle off the brake holds on for 2 seconds before it lets go, i changed the calliper and hose but its still the same, can you help me diagnose it please? thank you
isnt that a security feature on most cars these days? mine does that and its not a issue
If it does squirt out would it be caliper that failed?
That's what I was wondering ... if the fluid DOES NOT squirt out - does that mean it's the caliper? Or even something else?
No, something else is holding pressure. If it doesn't squirt out, the caliper is holding on its own and needs replaced.
😢
When you jack up the car & spin the wheel some brake drag is normal.
I've had to replace my hoses twice on my ford truck already. Never had to with my chevy.
Yeah because Chevy is new lol. Don't worry it will lose transmission or engine before brake lines fail I got 4 ford and 4 Chevys and 1 dodge only ford still run. Not saying they run good they are all project vehicles. Vehicles are only as good as you take of it. Every brand vehicle has flaws. Some more than others . 03 ranger with 335k still has all original brake components other than brakes and rotors calipers normal maintenance stuff all rest original so it might be something you are doing off roading or you not installing them correct or you are buying wrong length
orrrrr if not?
Blleedet didbt hekp mine
id love to see it be the caliper now they scammed someone
I hate these videos that lead everyone down the wrong road… Didn’t check the slider pins, nor the fluid conditions… Color of the fluid will tell you more than your lil stunt lol😂
