Brake Caliper Replacement 

So is that brown stuff on the rotor... rust, or is it from your brother’s underwear?

30 seconds in and we're already peeing on stuff. This is why I'm subscribed to you.

Detail, humorous and no chipmunk music in the background. Perfect!!

I usually use a digital temp reader, but your method works too!

Great video, many thanks. I was replacing some rear brake pads on my Toyota avensis, when suddenly my bleeder screw got stuck so bad, my spanner took the edges off... bummer. So now purchasing new Caliper. What helped me was seeing you unscrew the bolt to the hose, as I wasn’t sure how that and the small metal tube was assembled and possibly beyond my DIY experience. Now I know what to expect, you’ve made it really easy for me. Once again many thanks. Excellent quality video and narration 👍🏼🙂

Finally a good video that demostrates the banjo bolt and caliper replacement.

Lmaoooooo finally a real person who don’t give a shit!!!!! Rock on brother!!!!

An air impact or electric impact would help you soooo much with car repairs ! Worth the investment

shouldn't you replace the rotor to because the heat caused by friction from the seized caliper would have caused warpage on the rotor?

you don't put anti seize on bracket bolt,you put blue loctite to make sure the vibration don't make it to back out!

One of the best car videos I've seen. Thanks for the tips and the laughs!

Silicone paste will be a good choice for the slider pin:) very informative.

Usually when someone says “Ahh, piss on it” it means they are not going to do the job. For you, that means making a video while doing it. BTW.... Your brother is really not going to want his toothbrush back now.

The brake pads are gone. And when they get that hot because of a stuck caliper you need to replace them anyway

NEVER use anti seize on the caliper bracket knuckle bolts. From the factory, LOCTITE is used (examine the threads) and are torqued >140 lb ft due to all the vibration of the suspension.

THANKS FOR THAT EASY BRAKE FIX,IT SAVED MY BIG TIME....

The peeing test is the best test ever.

I don't have a brother, can I use my sister's old underwear?

When you pulled the rotor off I said out loud, "what parking brake?". 😮

You can crack the banjo bolt to bleed the other side when the bleeder gets stuck. It's not as pretty and you'll have to hit it with a little brake cleaner after, but it works fine.

I was smelling acrid smelly public urinal pee for 7 mins & couldn't follow your great video ; until I realised it was only water you squeezed on there!! Haha LOL :) :) :) Tks

When i was young i bought cheap cars and changed a few calipers and likely wasted money by replacing them. One can to save money just remove the outer rubber gasket, spray corrosion remover around the brake piston, let it stand a long time to loosen corrosion, then (perhaps start the car for brake servo and) press the brake pedal hard several times until the brake piston falls out by itself. And then one can buy a rebuild rubber set for the caliper and use a drill and a brake honer set to hone up the brake cylinder to get get oxidation and dirt out of there and get smooth cylinder walls again, this can also be done cheap and slow with very fine sandpaper to save money. Clean the brake cylinder and piston from sandpaper dust or perhaps buy a new piston it its that bad.. but just use some fine sandpaper on it and its good to go i bet. Replace the inside piston rubber ring gasket with a new one in the cylinder, and put things together and put on the water preventing rubber ring finally. Here is the way to do this, its shown with a smaller drum brake cylinder but the honer can be adjusted to fit your caliper too. Unless its _really_ stuck this is the way to do it cheap. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qzioBB7KZXU.html You could try to give the brake piston a few whacks if this is not working. And you could use a gas station many ton hydraulic press to move the piston some to loosen it up before you give the caliper up totally. But yeah, if its totally stuck then its time to give up for the ordinary man in the street.. Unless one has a friend and access to a milling machine to grind out the piston carefully without damaging the brake cylinder wall, if one has access to that kind of equipment it might be a cheap way to get that piston out. You could get a milling drillbit set for your hand drill to do it too, but that should be done carefully to not damage the cylinder wall too much. Anyway, if one damage the cylinder wall some it might not be too bad becourse what needs to be good is the part that holds the inner rubber gasket, so a amateur way to do it will actually work if most of the cylinder honing is ok after that kind of grinding the piston out in two halves like a dentist job kind of. Another way that comes to mind is to empty the caliper for brake fluid, heat the brake piston with a blow torch, and cool it down a few times with water, this will also help loose up the corrotion, heat will enlarge any metal and when the piston gets cool it will crack the corrotion so it might be able to be pressed out with the brake pedal. Its 25+ years since i was changing calipers the last time now, but yeah, thats my thoughts on this subject in retrospect thinking of all possibilities i could have done it. Becourse it is many possibilities to do this. For the young ones who wanna save some money on cars and use them on beer instead for parties it might be great knowledge lol :) And dont forget to use caliper piston grease when putting things together.

First 30 seconds got me weak as hell😂😂. From peeing on the wheel to that toothbrush he turned into a shank😂😂

As an alternative to green Permatex caliber grease, check out Super Lube Silicone brake grease. You can order a large tube from Home Depot's web side in Canada. I have a tube. It's works fine, no problems now after using it three times. It's silicone grease with PTFE. I've never seen a review. You could be the first.

Lol " i stole my brother's toothbrush "

Ok now Speedy, keep it classy on your way to 100k. Meanwhile, where can I send my old toothbrush for use in your videos?

Job allways go better when you piss on it LOL 😆

Bro did you really just piss on your wheel lmfaoooo you are a king subscribing just for that

Funniest mechanic vid ever.

Luv the humor 🤣. Who removes the ebrake shoes 😱! Thank you for the video. Working on my ‘07 Tundra now

Working on brakes and suspension will tend to require the use of the BFH - "big fucking hammer" aka The Persuader.

Hahahahaha I needed a good laugh especially the wife’s car calliper shit the bed subscribed cheers

hilarious! I was actually watching this video to see the emergency brake stamen Lol

Dude you saved me. Thank you so much

Another great video :)

Great video! Short and sweet.

speedkar you need to crack open a rear disk brake calipper with hand brake system on it to see what is inside that you need to rotate and compress the piston in order to can get it in

Dude, the rear brake pistons screw in, like on almost all newer cars... The front pistons squeeze in with a C Clamp or a set of big Channel Locks... Not saying that your caliper isn't bad, just saying...

Your MAD FUNNY with your cleaning accessories LMAO!!

I always learn how to fix my car from him :) thx

😂 I stole my brothers toothbrush

Fun and informative video :). Is there anything u don't know about cars, great job as always

Excellent explanation on a short video...thumbs up to you.

After that much heat, there's a chance of wheel bearing damaged/lost bearing grease. Is there a chance to inspect it other than waiting for the bearing noise/whine?

I thought you're supposed to use 2 crush washers and sandwich the line with it?

That second copper washer is for the bolt before the banjo bolt like both sides

I use old rags too 😀👍

Damn your brother must constantly need new things. You always stealing his stuff.

Thanks for the video mate, really helped ☺

You gave the brake caliper a "golden shower".

Lmao someone removed all of the ebrake drum hardware 😂😂😂

You know, penetrating oil is great stuff. Fewer skinned knuckles if you turn the wheel out to better expose the caliper. I know, dumb comments. A few years from now: "Sorry, lady, I can't do your brake work today because my prostate is acting up."

Why are there 2 crush washers? I took my old caliper off and found the two washers on the mat beneath the wheel but not knowing exactly where they came from. One between the caliper and the bolt, and the other one..?? I assume it must go between the bolt and the brake line but you didn't show it in the vid. I'll keep looking.

My brake pads and rotors are new and i keep hearing a grinding noise when braking. Mechanic said is the back caliper that is getting stuck to the rotors. Could that be the problem???

Why don’t both slide pins have the rubber piece on the end? Always wondered that and does anything happen if you mix the top with the bottom?

Good video

I use a box end wrench and a 3 lb sledge to get those caliper bracket bolts loose. Try it next time!

Ive burnt two fingers on side of freeway checking rotors temp, last one came with the surprise, hurts like hell and skin is pealing off. From service manual diagrams, pin with rubber o ring should be on the bottom. Watch carefully when you get replacement calipers that were refurbs. Napa calipers are all whacky, no o ring on the pin, incorrect pins installed and so on, very upset now and dreading to go out in cold now and do a swap on my 03 camry 1mzfe

if one of the dual piston is slightly less compressed than the other one maybe by like 5-6mm, but was able to slide it in the bracket okay, will both piston make even contact once i pump my brakes during normal use

usually the bottom slider pin has the black rubber, strange

Why didn't you put new brake pads on while you had it apart

lmfaooo i love you bro (no homo) you find very clever ways to entertain people!!

Well done brother well done 👍🏼

Did you only use one crush washer, and aren't you supposed to use both? Does it make a difference?

Alternatively, could your old caliper have been rebuilt, instead of replacing it with a new one? In other words, wouldn't it be tremendously cheaper to buy a caliper rebuild kit for a small amount of money?

I was bleeding my break. When I press brakes pedal, I can see fluid come out from bleeding vavle. Does it mean my caliper is working fine, not frozen?

Am surprised that caliper bolt didn’t break with that breaker bar... i swear it was going to snap the head of the bolt.

Did the wheel bearing burn up from the heat?

lol, good info an humor!

Should’ve named your channel Banjo Bolt

Are brake calipers covered under extended warranty

Wats the middle thing called in center of back tire wit a clamp on it

What’s the function of the rubber band on the top caliper guide pin? When I’d done front brake replacement for my truck I noticed the groove where the rubber band goes in but there wasn’t any rubber. Apparently, the mechaic that did a brake job in the past had removed the old one but didn’t replace it.

Funny as F@#k. Got my sub as soon as the P/$$ was flowing.

Where did you get your tubing? That's a nice, tight fit unlike the stuff I got at PA.

Absolutely loved this video good one bro

Piss on it, is better then being pissed off!

The only thing I would say is to NEVER use anti-seize on the banjo bolt. It could contaminate the brake fluid

Do you know how to dismantle the rear caliper that is connected to handbrake cable ? Or any video ? Thanks

0:18 that is just gross

Very informative and funny...

Great Job Bro.....your pee is rusting those bolts haha

Love the humour. :- )

5:40 suppose rubber on bot?

you just earned a sub! you're funny lol

Damn good teacher man.

They never taught me the pissing on the wheel method of testing seized calipers. I'm pissed.

Is that Permatex green brake grease urea resistant?

Are you the one that has been peeing on my condenser unit?

*NO EMERGENCY BRAKE? 🤷🏼‍♂️ eh, fuck it*

Oh and btw I forgot to mention that the ater bottle is my brothers also

Wtf dude... There are kids watching your video... Anyway I sub😂😂😂😂

You should have got your brother to test drive it

How did you not realise there was no hand brake shoes already?

What if u put caliber and everything on then go to bleed the brakes but nothing comes out the bleeder...

The pee was the best part plz more

You needed a brake job anyway so, will you make a video about the parking brake assembly? Don't need to pee on it, it just a parking brake :)

This happened to the front of my sc300, both fronts....i almost died xD

I am glad my Corolla has rear drum brakes.

Did you piss on your rotor at the end?!? J/k 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
