I'm immensely surprised at that. I would never have thought 2x10mm bolts for a caliper is a good idea, and I still don't. My car has 2x14mm. But considering the forces on the caliper those must be some strong ass bolts.

@kingcosworth2643 Год назад

The axle would have been in one piece for most of that destruction, it wore down the diameter until it broke in half and all drive was lost because of an open diff. The two caliper bolts were still the only thing keeping the wheel and axle in, but at least with the unbroken axle there was technically no real extra load on those two bolts, when the axle snapped, very different story as there is know a bending force on them. Luckily it ground to a halt when the axle snapped.

I had a similar problem with a PT Cruiser. The e-brake assembly grenaded. He declined to have me repair it. Since it was a close friend working in my yard, I simply removed the emergency brakes parts. Fortunately nothing got severely damaged. I got his car back on the road and he was happy.

Back in 1998 I was crew-chiefing a buddies amateur drag racing efforts with his 1997 Mustang GT (lots of weld re-enforcing on the chassis, all aftermarket suspension, engine tuning and NOS) . We ran Mickey Thompson street slicks and skinnies and would launch at 6K, pulling the front wheels off the ground during both the burnout and the launch. We eventually twisted the right axle until it snapped at the splines- they twisted past 60 degrees at the break! The left axle was twisted past 45 degrees but still held. The car was strictly a play toy and we would drive it to the track with me bringing the generator, air compressor, race tires, tools, etc in my pickup up to this trip- after getting it towed 50 miles home on a Sun afternoon he found a used trailer, which was good because the next outing the track was slick, he hit 2nd BEFORE the 60ft mark instead of at it, hitting the NOS as he let out the clutch (we didn't use it in 1st as we had regeared with 4:10's and were already lifting the front of the ground) and proceeded to go straight on the rev limiter blowing apart the factory plastic intake as the number 6 intake opened!

@ 5:09 - On the floor, on the black tile. I could swear that I saw a bag of coke just chilling there for a sec🤣

Thanks for an excellent video. I learn a lot from your videos.

Same thing almost happened to my Vic 🤦🏿‍♂️ lucky I caught it before the shaft snapped. Had to replace the whole axle

@flex5966 Год назад

That's definitely a curb-inspired break. I did it to my 2011 Mustang RTR Conv. Geico Insurance cut corners and only replaced the axle and assembly. The Stang needed a new rear because the repair left me with a squeal during turns.

That blued up shiny spot on top of the Mercury axle housing from the heat of the grinding was crazy!

@southernflatland Год назад

F that! Hell, I drove until my parking brake linkage wore out, but then I was QUICK to replace the whole assembly.

@erictheis6093 Год назад

"Don't neglect your grinding noises!" LOL! Good advice!

@SgtSabotage Год назад

Great Job Ray! I think you can just repack the bearing on the Mercury and put the shaft in the vise and weld it.

Would be awesome to see both the dodge and the Mercury in future videos @Rainman Ray's Repairs

@oneeyedjack4727 Год назад

As soon as I heard that sound while you were test driving, Deja vu! Had a similar brake failure on my Dodge. The shoes had plenty of life left, the hardware springs broke and parts started rattling around.

Thanks for the feedback and expect more videos soon. Send me a text above🔝🔝🔝 I have something for you..

@RedBud315 Год назад

There's been more than one time that I left my parking brake on my Dodge Ram and it made noise within a few feet that sounded like it wanted to break. Luckily nothing like this has even happened. And I agree on that read end axle that they must have known there was a problem for several months.

How come you were fired!!!! You seemed to have such a great relationship with the pencil pusher 😂😂😂😂

@Mike-bg3cf Год назад

When I was watching this video and you were digging into that rear axle bearing and housing I could hear the car going "Thank you, thank you please fix me!".

@mittens71199 Год назад

When you covered the camera at the very end of the video, it reminded me of the "YOU DIED" meme from Dark Souls.

@nathan584 Год назад

I'm completely sober and when you found the flitter behind the wheel I blew on my screen to try and blow it away 😂😂

@garybrugone433 Год назад

Great Video Ray. Have a great day as well.

@45AMT Год назад

LOL the wheel's falling off! As Mustie1 says "Yeah that might be an issue!"😂😂

I had a parking brake adjuster blow up on a 1984 Tempo. The pawl was not hardened right and it let the star wheel spin backwards until the adjuster came out going down the road. It went bang and punched a hole in the flat area of the brake drum. The pedal went soft.
