How to replace a brake caliper and bleed the brakes afterwards 

it's like youtube from 2007 straight to the point clear instructions and no off topic discussions well done man, gona do mine this summer

hey, i lost my dad this year... he never had time to teach me this stuf, taught me alot..but we didn't have time for some bits. Thank you for the video mate

Thanks a lot. Replacing a siezed caliper tomorrow and needed some clear instructions, especially on how to do the one-man brake bleed. Awesome video, straight to the point

Straight to the job. This video is great. No talking about the random dog walking in video. Or the other video you made on changing the alternator. Just to the point!!!!

Just did mine. One change I would recommend, slip the brake cable over the new caliper hook first, then pull the cable to slide into the bracket. A lot easier. Thanks for the video!

Liked that, specially elevating the bleed bottle. Have bled brakes for years by just cracking the bleed screw and pushing the fluid out but your method is much better. Muchos Grathias mon Ami,

Great Video - I have done many front brake calipers; but, no rear and this was perfect to get started - Thanks.

Thanks for a clear and concise video.

this is the only video on youtube that did every point we needed to see , and it all worked perfectly thanks this was a life saver

Thank you! I'm new to fixing my cars and this just told me more then most people again thank you!

Great Video. Actually showed the caliper and how it works and explained well.

Seems to have done the job. You taught me something with that one man brake bleed. Good job!

I noticed that the bleeder valve was on the bottom of the caliper when you removed it from the car, then I noticed that the new caliper bleed valve was at the top of the caliper, that is the correct way the caliper should be on the rotor. I guess you noticed that too. we live and learn. good job anyhow.

I just did mine thanks for the video it helped a lot

thank you so much for this video i successfully changed over my first caliper today your awsome bro thank you

Thanks, I was doing the one person method but never got good results but that’s because I kept the bottle lower than caliper and hose not inside the fluid in the bottle

Great job ! 👍

Great video. Told me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you

wow! i'm speechless! master, yeah, im going to call you Master. perfect explained. i have to do this job tomorrow. wish me good luck. thank you Master.

Just learned something new lol ,thanks for that.

Thank you for your time ⏲️⏳

Very informative video nice camera work as well

great video man

Great video sir well done job 🤝

Great video, thanks 🙏

Very clear job thanks. Even with your half Irish accent :)

Excellent stuff, subbed.

what a great video thank you

Nice video!

Great video! I did my brakes without gloves at first also. Do you recommend adding Grease to the slider pins of a new caliper? Mine only seemed to have a thin layer of Grease.

Remove and re install all new calipers if possible put a small of amount of fluid in the actual caliper then bolt everything down then take the big bottle of break fluid dump it upside down in your master cylinder make sure u have a catch pan by the master cylinder and under all four calipers keep all the bleeders open till all the calipers are pissing clean fluid at a steady steam close them all off pump them up check them on an incline like a driveway if possible if they don’t go flat and hold tight ur good if the pedal does t feel good traditional bleed but I’ve never had to my original all at once method works great on flat rate

Love the Tim Horton cup

Thankyou much appreciated it !

Awesome welll explained video thank you mate

Thanks for the details.......

Nice video

Thank you!

The design intent is to separate the caliper from the bracket. Mount the bracket, then the pads, then install the caliper. It's actually much easier to do if you do it that way.

great video 10/10

so the reason it took so long to get fluid going thru the line is the caliper was empty even tho you prime it you did crack the bleeder valve to allow it to fill.

My problem is back passenger side bolts are sticking, I greased them up, but now Sticking again after a month. Also ebrake has to be pulled all the way up. I'm ordering another back caliper and gonna replace it now. is t the ebrake cable also on the back passenger side of a 2010 Kia forte coupe?

@8:23 Did you apply any Threadlocker on those mounting bolts? I put a Blue Thread Locker on that job like a 1.5 years ago, everything was good, no problems w/breaks. I see in many film people use Blue TL on those attaching Brake Bracket-to- Knuckle bolts. But now I did smth else on suspension and needed to remove the Brake Bracket again. When I looked to double check the torque and everything in Shop Manual for our 2001 Saturn SL2 (I have one), they say there to apply Heat 272 Loctite or equivalent. And if you don't have that Red Loctite, you need to replace the attaching bolts. Of course it is advice for a shop w/unlimited access for the bolts of that type and everything, and they are very precise (supposed to be of course). But why everyone applied Blue, as Shop Manual says Red? That what puzzled me. This is full Saturn Shop Manual 2000-2001 S-series, very detailed, 3 huge volumes (4-5 different books inside of each volume, put together w/binder), thin strong paper like papyrus. I'm confused on all that. If I apply Red, will I be able to brake those nuts w/huge breaker bar, or heat would be needed? it is not a problem to apply heat of course, but there are CV Axle Boots there close by, I even don't know. And again, everyone applies Blue: Mech the nic, Chris Fix, many others. I would appreciate any opinion on this matter. Thank you for the great film.

I have a question if I may. I had the replace one of the calipers on my truck and now it won’t move in and out as it’s supposed to. Do you have any idea of what might be the problem?

What vehicle was this in

What is this unit.model?thx

Just replaced my caliper on f250 I have been bleeding for over 30 minutes it’s still soft 😢

is it safe to use copper anti seize on back of brake pad? is it safe on rubber piston boot?

Hands getting really tingly and burning a bit at 9:00

I need this design cailper for my honda what the name

The pads keep retracting after we let off the pedal. I believe these new calipers could be bad.... Or there's still a lot of air in the brake system....

i find it easier to hook my e-break cable first to the hook.

Question for anyone if after bleeding brakes what would be the reason that the brake fluid drain while driving the next day

Watch bleeding brakes towards vide

Are brake calipers covered under extended warranty

West coast Canadian accent? Maybe Alberta

How about removing old caliper bracket and sit it aside then put new caliper on and then swap hose over? Less fluid loss, mess and less possibility of running master or ABS pump dry while changing over. There is a better way!!

Lol you're just like my father. You should wear gloves this shhh will eat through your hand but f it.....😂

Newer cars are Mickey Mouse Junk!
