This is one of the of the best made how-to videos I’ve seen.
Great camera angles, lighting, speed, narration, safety points.
Very well done!
Single soccer mom of 3 here. Just followed your vid and successfully replaced my brake caliper! You saved me hundreds! If I can do it, anyone can!
I am so grateful to you! Thank you!
Way to go!! Just need the supplies 😂
This is great! This video empowered you, taught you, and saved you Money. In addition you know it was done correctly. Bravo!
@@Scott-NCC1701 Thank you 😊
There is something very empowering about fixing your own car! It feels great! But I could never have done it, or even had the confidence to, without this vid. So thankful!

Hey Chris. My car failed safety inspection last week here in Virginia due to frozen calipers and the repair quote was $850 to replace. Your video helped me save $600 bucks by doing it myself. Just wanted to take a moment to thank you. Love the channel and have been combing through your vids to decide my next project.
@@scrobtimusprime Chris has helped me save hundreds if not thousands of
My mechanic wanted $2200 to replace front calipers + break lines and replace old brake fluid. I am doing it for $300. This is the best video on replacing calipers. Great work.
I'm 15 and I changed my mom's oil, rotors, and brakes thanks to you... I want to go to uti and actually own my own auto shop
Awesome work!
Instead of paying UTI 40 grand get a job as a Lube tech at a shop near you and help out other techs and learn from them.. I learned way more in a shop than I did at UTI and go paid!
Keep up the great work. Next thing you know you're going to be doing a candy paint job on your mother's car! You're going to be rich keeping this DIY mindset. Get at me if you ever need your seats pimped out
keep up the good work!!
I'm 13 1/2 and I replaced the engine, transmission, and all 4 brakes on my mom's van. Already own my own shop in my driveway. Gonna be a grease monkey when I turn 17
Thank you for including the "why" for everything. Most auto DIY videos tend to focus on the "what" and/or "how", and assume you know stuff I simply don't....or didn't until now. Thank you. You're literally the greatest. ❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯
I had to say you're probably the most descriptive and informative UA-cam mechanic today. Really appreciate you making this video
david drake gay
Caca Poop......loud mouth.
You must be a micanical
🤔
I agree to David's comment. This guy is GOOD.
I've always been terrified of messing with brakes myself because of how many times things went wrong when I watched other people do it, but after getting ripped off by a mechanic, I had no choice but to do it myself. Your video made it seem so much more approachable and though I took forever on it (broke a few tools and had to get a ride to buy more, did a few steps out of order putting the new one on, you know the drill), I did get it done. Thanks so much my dude, I couldn't have done it without you
just did both my front calipers for the very first time on my '06 acura tsx and it worked great, took me atleast 4-5 hours though.. thanks, it saves me money
Next time you will cut that time by 75%.
Glad it went well and you did it on your own!
Chris, My Dad was a Master Mechanic in the old days. He would watch you and say, watch this young man Chris and learn from him. Your Videos are excellent good sir.
A true legend if even a Master Mechanic watches Chris and enjoys his channel.💯
Big help man, thanks. Got quoted $1,000 to for both of my front wheels. Spent a day on your vid and got the job done myself.
Awesome man! Glad to hear it!!! Nice work!
@@chrisfix the garage told me my rear right caliper was not doing its job and ate away at my brakes and rotors, because when I step on the brake going say 60+ I get the vibration in the petal, so that was their reasoning, I replaced for rear calipers and rear rotors along with new brakes and it still shakes when i step on the brake... any advice?
@@hollywoodtravels9492 Its probably warped front rotors. Since the majority of your braking is on the front, that is where youll get the most feedback. Check your front braking components and see if anything looks odd. If you find something then go ahead an replace the pads and rotors.
Lol, those crooks were con artist. 1000? What unscrupulous greaseballs. Good for you for doing it yourself and putting those jerks in their place. Thumbs up hero!
Warped Discs. As you said you replaced the back must be the front.. as explained approx 80% of braking happens at the front brakes.. don’t go back to that particular garage.. they sound very very shifty.. You want to make sure you have no play in your wheels, jack your car up rock up and down and side to side.. if you hear any tapping or clunking or have free movement you have another problem and your tyres air pressures must be correct..
Dude, your channel is a godsend! I've gone from calling AAA to change a tire to changing my own brakes and calipers because of you. Great channel.
8 years later and your content is still helping strangers. Thank you.
I HAVE WATCHED A LOT OF VIDEOS HERE,TRUST ME; YOU MAY BE THE EASER PERSON TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR VIDEOS,VERY SPECIFIC,CLEAR, THANKS!
Thanks
When I was a teenager in the 70s my brothers worked on all kinds of cars while I practiced my trombone. But now at 62 I am working on cars just like them. I’ve looked at a lot of videos on UA-cam but honestly Chris I think yours are the best. Thank you. If my brothers could see me now!
I love how anytime I look up anything about cars, Chris fix has it covered. What a guy
I can't thank you enough for all your videos. Ive easily saved thousands by doing repairs myself, and Im confident enough that I can help friends and family with a lot of issues as well.
You just blew my mind. I have always removed the entire caliper to change my pads and feel so dumb for missing the clam shell method all these years!! Awesome videos! Thanks for all the great tips.
+Amanda Hugginkiss I'm glad you learned something new!
Haha, you've removed the caliper 😂😂😂
Not everyone get so lucky. My dad and I always removed both, and hung caliper with zip tie to spring. One day I did this method, and even though I was gentle, the bolt sheared off causing me to have to replace guide pins. Not always the case, but still.
This was exceptional. Clear information, not wasted shots, not stammering, bot focus issues. Absolutely excellent. Thank you.
I read through most of the comments. Yes, Chris is very precise and covers even the little things that can save you from issues down the road. Now you know why he has 9 million subscribers! Oh, and his camera work is fantastic! Love and blessings from Motown!
Couple tips: after you refill your master cylinder, go and slowly pump your brakes a few times to run the caliper piston out so the pads are engaged with the rotor. THEN, go check your fluid level in the master cyl again. Moving the caliper piston out creates more volume in the caliper so more fluid volume is in there, so check the fluid level again.
Also: i just ran into this not long ago but never had seen it before. I changed the rear calipers and brake hoses on my pickup and couldn't get one of the banjo fittings on hose to caliper to stop leaking. Removed the banjo bolt and found that the where the banjo fitting on the end of the hose mounted to the caliper, the caliper did not have a machined surface for the hose to seal to (copper washers in there too of course). The machined surface that's supposed to be there is called a "spot face" and my Rebuilt caliper I got from NAPA had no spotface, it was as cast surface. There was no way any brake hose was not going to leak. Of course NAPA made it right but what I don't get is how it could have been a "rebuilt" caliper, it never could have worked. Anyway, heads up, check for the spot face there before you leave the store. Check for it on the hose end too. Don't over torque the hollow Banjo bolt either, they will brake if you get too aggressive.
Just a little tip for all you guys out there. Make sure to push onto the brake pedal half way with a wooden block or something, so the valves in the ABS module close. Otherwise if it's taking you too long to change the caliper, the ABS module might lose some brake fluid and it can be a HUGE pain to get air bubbles out of there
good point, well said.
Can you explain more in detail plz, this might’ve been a issue i dealt with when I changed my brakes and bled multiple times but the brake pedal was still soft. It sounds like before I change my calipers I push halfway to Mimic braking so the abs won’t freak out when I’m changing parts out?
And what if I have a push start car as well? Do I turn it on all the way a step before ignition?
@@jimlofaro5695a
&9&😢I)😅8n(‘
Use a piece of wood or pvc pipe or something that you put one end against the brake pedal the other end against the front of the seat. Push the brake pedal down and adjust your seat to keep pressure on the brake pedal. With power seats you use the seat to push the pedal down. I am told that this also makes the brake fluid NOT leak out too fast when you’re taking the brake line off the old calliper and onto the new one??? Not sure how that happens or why but several other mechanics swear by this.
I appreciate you. This video made it super easy for me, and I have never changed a caliper before. Watching this, I got the job done in about 30 minutes save me a lot more money, then taking it to the shop.
Coming from a family where my dad worked 18+ hrs daily to provide I'm glad there is a platform that is able to show me how to work on a car and not have to depended on mechanics who need to make money but take advantage so I'm glad you're doing this thank you i never had this
My grandfather was actually the one who taught me how to do this. He is a big believer in fixing stuff yourself and I’m sure he would like this channel
I went to change my brakes for the first time and found out I also needed to change the calipers. Your videos are amazing and so helpful. It makes me feel so much more accomplished. Thanks for your great videos.
Brother I have been a Mechanic a long time,by far you are a great teacher and so simple my 10 old daughter could understand,great teachings and God bless.
Hey there Mr Chris. Look bud, Im a machinist an done a lot of car work. This dam coma I went through lost most of my memory on how to do simple things. I want to say, WOW. This was one of many "How To" that is the bestest one with three W's. what, when an where. Thanks bud.
I am a 63 year old guy with the basic mechanical skills, your videos are very helpful and easy to understand, Thanks Chris
The people that actually take the time to pass this knowledge on to others for free. Seriously amazing. Thank you!!
It’s not for free. Chris Fix makes MILLIONS each year from advertising revenue off his thousands of videos.
@@cm1133 free for me….. and free for anyone that needs it…………how would that statement make sense that I said it was free for him……. Holy. SMH 🤦🏻♂️
I went through a whole stack of vids before finding yours; clean, simple, concise, leagues above all the others I came across. thank you !
chris i've watched about 5 of your videos so far. you do a great job filming with close ups and getting the right shot. and then you back it up with very clear verbal explanations. you have a knack for how-to videos. nice work!
tmac9938 Thanks a lot man! I appreciate the kind feedback! Comments like this make my day! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
Great video, as usual, with good tips for the novice.
One recommendation: I would only replace calipers in matched-pairs, especially when you're using aftermarket calipers (Centric, AC Delco, etc.), to ensure both have the same hydraulic characteristics.
I’ve never understood why doing just one side would cause the other side to fail. Of COURSE they have a little different hydraulic characteristics
@@brandonminear9400
Replacing as a matched-pair is more about grip-functionality. If one side grabs the rotor more firmly/more loosely than the other, you'll have: steering issues while braking (especially while hard-braking), uneven tire-wear, uneven pad + rotor wear, etcetera. The same thing applies to using unmatched rotors, especially if the material varies significantly in temper and composition.
My uncle is pretty handy with cars and we always go to him first for problems. He’s never done the calipers before and so I said, “ chrisfix is the best” here we are watching your video for help. I also used your other videos on how to change the pads too. Thank you so much!! Whenever I have a car problem, I always come to this channel first.
Been working on cars for 30 years now but still watch your vids to relieve anxiety before some things. Thanks my man!
but yep, if all the people who watch this have a unsealed 32oz bottle of brake fluid, they can do this $230.00 job & bleed all 4 brake lines in the specific sequence for just $36.00. and mechanics charge $230.00 per caliper too, and i think they only bleed the line that goes to the caliper that you needed to have replaced, not all 4. so yeah, not only can you can do a better job, and flush all the old fluid outta all 4 of you're brake lines with nice synthetic fluid, but you can also do it for $36.00 versus the $230.00 a mechanic will charge you. keep in mind, that the mechanic probably ain't using synthetic fluid, nor is he flushing old fluid outta any of the lines but the one he,s working on. this is why i love doing jobs like this, at home. thanks for making this video. it walked me through each step perfectly, and it saved me a lot of money as well.
+Jeff Fuehr Glad the video was helpful and saved you money!
What do you mean synthetic brake fluid? lol
@@DoctorFush If your owners manual species a type, use that. Say it is DOT4...some will offer 'synthetic'. As long as your car calls for DOT4 go for it.
@@goitoutdoors Isn't all brake fluid 'synthetic', is what I was getting at.
That was one of the best, most informative, straight to the point instructional videos I've ever seen. I am absolutely subscribing and coming back to you for any car related questions!
Steven Buhrow Smart guy
Your videos keep getting better and better! Awesome camera angles and very detailed! Easily one of the best and most complete caliper videos out there.
Brandon B Thanks Brandon! I am trying my best to make them better each time!
It's true, the clarity on the picture, the use of a second window to show the other side of things? Really helpful.
easy to follow and straight to the point. thank you. it's amazing how many "how to" videos get overly complicated in their instructions.
I have problems with one of my rear brakes, and these videos gives me so much confidence to do fixing myself!!! The shops here takes outrageous prices just for the jobs! I can save literally hundreds of dollars just by doing it myself! Step 1 is checking slider pins and step 2 is caliper, which both of them you have great videos!
When I took my banjo bolt out, some weird country/western music started playing. Hmm must be a feature or something.
I thought it only happened to me,that is weird,
Just don't bring a banjo bolt with you when you are kayaking on a river. Ned Beatty still has nightmares about that!
When I disconnected my banjo rear end on my 54 Ford the same thing happened. Except, against my will, I was hold the banjo rear end and steumming and finger-picking it to the music. Oops!!
Huh, weird, I swore I heard the same thing when I did my Town and Countrys' (haha) brakes.
How's that been going?
Totally clear and straightforward. A lot of knowledge here.
Good job Chris.
Thanks a lot!
I have watched over 20 of your videos and always find them very descriptive with excellent spot on narration. Also, the images are well lit and easy to see what you are doing. Simple editing done very well. Thanks!
I don't always change my calipers, but when I do, I watch this video first.
Literally, every time. Excellent video.
Dude! This video saved my weekend. Planned an offroading adventure this past weekend. 1pm friday passenger rear starts smoking. Call all the shops and they're closed, busy, or don't have the parts. Started at 3pm and finished by 5pm. Thank you so much!
Thank you Chris! This video seriously saved me hundreds of dollars for my rear calipers.
+Anthony Villalobos No problem! Glad the video was helpful!
+ChrisFix can you do a video on how to fix your abs system
ChrisFix hi
Rear brake bracket bolts (not caliper pins) This guy just hand tighten it with a 6 inch wrench, is that good enough? Focus ST
Good Video - You're giving Scotty Kilmer some SERIOUS competition.
that guy's a nut job; he may know cars, but I can NOT stand his personality. I block every ad of his that I see
@@user-sx4yu3nw4j I can barely sit through a video even if he knows what he's talking about
@@user-sx4yu3nw4j I love him
Rev your engine Chris Fix!
Hey Chris you always do a great job with great explanations. One item you might should have mentioned was to bend down the "metail brake slides for the pads" so they don't move around. You'll notice the little tabs on the outside of them. This keeps them from vibrating into the brake disc and squalling like a crazy banshee! Appreciate all your videos, keep up the good work!
Awesome video. I have Kia so I left the old bracket in place and just replaced the caliper to avoid removing difficult bolts to get to. I was stuck on trying to get a bolt a loose so called my mechanic, he encouraged me to try again lol it just need me to put it back in place so I can add better average in pressure. After that he offers to help me bleed the brakes. When he got there, he’s like you done all the hard part 😊thank to this video alone.
Wow, ChrisFix sounded all calm and normal back in 2014. Musta spent all his UA-cam earnings on coffee! Well heck, if I had a successful channel I´d be pretty psyched too. Great work. Thank you for your videos ChrisFix.
This is how Instruction and DIY videos should be: succinct, concise, and to the point. I hate watching yappers who talk about personal or irrelevant stuff
Seriously, most DIY videos are like trying to find a recipe online. 10 pages of nonsense about how their cashmere sweater felt on a cool autumn's day followed with an inspirational poem, when all I want is the damn recipe on how to make some stuffed peppers. Jersey Fried Chicken, just gimme the damn recipe!
Huge help, you're the best automotive youtube guy I've ever watched
Thanks and I’m glad the videos are helpful!
I kneel in your long shadow of excellence! This was the best how to video I've seen thus far.
Thanks a lot!
Your videos are the best. This one helped me in changing out my calipers and brake pads on my 1979 truck C10 Silverado. I could have had my very excellent mechanic do it but he knows my truck is a show truck and does not get driven much and so he takes his time. With me doing it I had it done in half a day. Thanks, very much appreciated.
Brother, this is a master class, on how to do an instructional video! No BS. Straight to the point. Thank you!
Glad the video was helpful
My dad always fixed our cars.
Now that's hes not here with us any longer. I guess it's my job to try to do all he did. Now instead of 2 men bleeding the brakes it's only me. So when I bleed the BRAKES on my car 1 day. My eyes will be bleeding tears
Missing him. Thank u dad. R.i.p. miss U. So much💔💔💔

I can't say enough about the production quality and information packed into each ChrisFix video. I'm no mechanic but have saved a lot of $ by watching and learning. Helped out immensely on my 2002 Sonoma and now on my niece's 2003 Jeep Liberty. Thank you Chris.
I usually watch 2-3 videos before I start any project but with this man I only need to watch his and he make it look extremely easy and has very good tips like loosing the breake line before removing the caliper. So no need for watching another video save me time and money💲😂💲
Always can rely on Chris fix to give the best explanation and description of day. So many videos when you just try to look up how to specifically learn about the brake caliper and removing it or bleeding the brakes because I guess you supposed to after doing that but I only have time to do one at a time and eventually bleed the brakes but 😅 ❤
THIS IS 1 HELL OF A TUTORIAL. GREAT JOB CHRIS👍👍👍👍👍

This is really an old video but today I did a bit of a screw up. I did my breaks for the first time and was not paying attention to what I was doing. I was bleeding my break line after I did my breaks. I was bleeding my breaks through the banjo bolt and ended up stripping my calipers threading. I have to get a new one soon. I was stressing out so much from it feeling like crap thinking how difficult it was going to be. Watching this video relived me of so much stress I felt so much better I’m buying the new caliper soon and seeing this video just gave me so much confidence thank you.
Just installed brand new coil overs on my 1990 roadster
Thanks to your videos, I was able to change suspension in just a few hours! Thank you!!
The thumbnail photo of the brake caliper looked like Wall-e’s head. I was so hoping you were going to build a real life Wall-e. Even if just a statue of. 🤖
This..... This is the comment i was searching for..... Feel like were brothers here yo lol
Nice but you should of mentioned to check/add grease to the caliper bracket bushings (for those with used calipers as well as to inspect/replace bushings etc.)
Ash Ziavonni Thanks and thanks for sharing!

I have a completely different vehicle from you but like you said a lot of the stuff is the same just a few details would be different. your channel has helped me and my Dad fix a lot of things in my car that I haven't been able to find on my vehicle. thanks for helping us save money, and build some daddy daughter time. you're amazing! Keep up the videos!
Awesome video man, most videos show the process from a distance but don’t do close ups or explain very well. Swapping WRX Calipers n all and this video made it seem much more manageable. Good stuff right here. 👍🏼
Hey Chris I just have a quick question I was wondering when you replaced the caliper do u bleed just the one caliper or do u bleed all brakes?
i was wondering that too
I'm pretty sure you need to bleed out all of the calipers. in fact, theres a specific order to bleed out the calipers. 1st caliper should be the furthest caliper away from the brake fluid tank in the hood (rear passenger side) and so and so forth.
Amazing video. Thank you so much.
Can someone tell me why all "mechanic" toolsets don't include a breaker bar, torque wrench, and only only ONE 10mm socket?!?
Right?!
Big help indeed. Replacing calipers on ‘99 Ford Ranger and did not pay attention to how banjo’s we’re attached on disassembly. Mounted one backwards before I watched this video and got the scoop. Thank you
I have been working on cars for over 40 years and use your videos when I need to "remember" how to do things right. You are so detailed and do things the way it should be done and with care. You'll be on Johnny Carson one day, ok so you see I am old lol.....but Great job helping people, keep up the great work. Jeff
thanks bro this help me alot and saved me $$$
Glad the video was helpful!
the good news it wasn't the caliper but the brake pads were done but since I watch a few of your videos help me from being ripped off by Toyota dealership, I just bought the parts and with your video instructions I was able to do the work myself. Thanks brother

You make mechanic work look so easy. I just stripped the bolts on my caliper tonight, BEFORE.. watching this. So, before I make any final decisions I need to watch your entire channel.
Very good tutorial. To the point, clear to understand, without a bunch of fluff where it takes you forever to get to the actual meat of the video.
Thanks a lot Mark!
I am as mechanically challenged as they come. You explained the process real clear and it was easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video you saved me some money
Mechanics must hate Chris.
Myself; I love Chris. He explains everything deeply and simply. Meaning he understands what he is talking about. His demonstrations are also awesome.
This is the most clear and concise 'how-to' video I have ever seen on UA-cam. Both video and audio quality are great, and the author explains the process very clearly. Nice job!
Because of you I was able to change my bearings hubs today, now I want to change the calipers. Thank you
Thanks Chris short on money these days your videos helped me change front brake pads, discs and calipers successfully on my car.
doing the calipers and parking brake shoes on my 01 outback. Iv'e watched quite a few of ChrisFix vids before and during work on my vehicles and appreciate the tutorials. just one beef is that he replaced the caliper bolts without cleaning them up and leaving the old thread locker in place.
EDIT: 3:14
This was an old video, but its good you saw that since you know how to do this properly
Chrisfix is the reason I'm able to work in my car. Did my caliper, rotor, and brakes this weekend and saved a ton of money. Thank you for your in-depth videos and a thicker wallet!!!!!
That's what I like to see! Thanks a lot!
How times have changed. Ive learn all my DIY mechanic skills from this guy and other you tubers. Never fails to impress me
Thank you for showing the level of detail you do for amateur's like myself. This video helped me decide whether the copper washers are supposed to come off the banjo bolt or not when replacing a caliper.
I'm 42 years old just learned how to work on my own car great video and instructions thumbs up I'm actually replacing control arm and it's a pain in the butt right now
Thank you for all of your help with the many videos of yours that have helped me over the years. I thought that I was going to be performing a simple brake pad replacement on my 2003 Toyota Corolla, but it turned out that I had to replace the pads, rotors, AND the seized caliper. I could never have done this without your helpful videos. I have been out of work for the last 2 years and don't have the money to pay a garage (hence, the 16 year old car); Thank God that I have your videos to give me the knowledge and confidence to do this work myself. You have been a savior. Many blessings to you and your family!
I just changed my caliper on my Aveo, no problem! One of the easier operations i've done, thanks to your video! Rock on!
I used this video as a reference to my caliper replacement on my Jeep. Thank you so much! I did it successfully and I discovered my old caliper piston was torn and also seized. You couldn’t even push the pistons in with force
Ive watched dozens of car repair videos and no one explains as well as you have. Thanks!
