I bought some reman calipers from Advance and both seized after a week of being parked.

Indeed, if he needs extra steps for content he could have greased everything in copper pasta. Or show that it was messed up and needed to be changed in which case this would have been acceptable
and get air in the abs system which is an absolute ass to air? no thank you. this just prevented any spillage of the brake fluid when the pistons are in
Seriously with newer cars and abs systems you should completely flush the brake fluid to protect the main abs pump unit that delivers the pressure to your wheels all calipers heat up n that fluid actually burns out at high temperatures hence why most cars have changed to dot4
There was a lot of extra unnecessary steps to have done. Dust caps off the bolts bolts out calliper off pads fall out pads replaced calliper put back in place bolts back on and your back on the road.

BMW mechanic here, picturebook job so far 👍 but I also dont see the problem with the calipers... is the piston stuck or leaking? anyways, after sandblasting and some sanding you have a perfect base for some nice brake paint
@@JT-91 actually using ready-to-install calipers is cheaper in some cases because the time needed for a full caliper overhaul is costly at a real, original BMW workshop
It's funny he doesn't even know you can just unbolt the bracket and the whole brake assembly comes off why would you go and take apart the whole thing to replace pads, this is why people feel like their being over charged, clearly this man wasted his and your time
I hope those pads weren't semi Asbestos? Did you see all that brake dust? And no mask? You gotta protect yourself... 1 fiber in your lungs is all it takes.. be safe guys
I wish I could do brakes as fast as you did in that video! Took me like 3 hours to do all 4 on my old 525i E60! I did save mucho $$$ doing it myself tho!
This is how easy a brake job actually is. Just make sure to use new caliper slide bolts or clean and reuse the old ones (do a good job) so all your hard work is not wasted.
He pulled a manual gearbox out of a Porsche, had it stripped and cleaned because the old oil was 'thick and sticky' and wasnt letting the shifter return to center smoothly- as a first resort without even attempting to change the oil first and let that clean it up. Change it when the gearbox is warm, even if you give it a second oil change after a short time cost wise the customer is miles in front and gets the same results

How tf do you say “whack it off” and not lose your own shit? Some jedi shit there folks🤯

There have been only 2 mechanics that actually clean the rust off the rotors when doing then that would be South main auto Eric and this guy
Damn that’s standard practice in my area

I was confused why you drained the brake fluid at first until the end. Then it made sense.
I nearly had my pads seperate 3 out of 4 in the front. Had a warranty replacement but doesn't really make me feel much better. They were napa premium ceramic pads. I'll have to keep an eye on them.
Tapping rusted bolts ect works amazingly for freeing up rust.
Why suck out the resorvoir? Isnt just opening it enough? Then let it drip out
Indeed, if he needs extra steps for content he could have greased everything in copper pasta. Or show that it was messed up and needed to be changed in which case this would have been acceptable
and get air in the abs system which is an absolute ass to air? no thank you. this just prevented any spillage of the brake fluid when the pistons are in
This gets most of the old fluid out. Then fill the reservoir back up with fresh. No air should enter the system if done correctly
If the brake pads looked like that, imagine what the brake fluid looked like. Suck out and replace with fresh
@@n300zx931 nice to see someone is thinking here.
"Ultimate Driving Machine" except it can't stop because the brake pad broke in half XD
That pad could have passed for a chunk of the rosetta stone.
I like the enthusiasm with which you whack it off.... the rotor I mean.
You only need to remove enough fluid from the reservoir to give space when you push back the piston and verify it’s at the max line when completed
He's removing the entire caliper
It's 20 year old fluid. Suction it out and replace it with a newer, better product. The fluid is literally the cheapest thing of the entire job.
Seriously with newer cars and abs systems you should completely flush the brake fluid to protect the main abs pump unit that delivers the pressure to your wheels all calipers heat up n that fluid actually burns out at high temperatures hence why most cars have changed to dot4

That's exactly what he does... most mechanics do.
He pulled a manual gearbox out of a Porsche, had it stripped and cleaned because the old oil was 'thick and sticky' and wasnt letting the shifter return to center smoothly- as a first resort without even attempting to change the oil first and let that clean it up. Change it when the gearbox is warm, even if you give it a second oil change after a short time cost wise the customer is miles in front and gets the same results
What did he do that was so wrong? This how I do brakes. Brakes should get the most time spent
My favorite part was when you whacked off that caliper!! Lmfao
Also no need to drain resivor. Just clamp off the caliper hose then remove. After reconnecting just gravity bleeding the brakes.
