Removing a Rusted Brake Bleeder Screw 

hopefully you get it out ok

thanks for watching

the heat transfer of a caliper is actually really efficient i have never had a problem with damaged seals while doing this usually the surrounding doesnt get above 200 degrees or so which brake fluid can get much hotter than that under heavy braking , so ive never worried to much about the seals

If you take out the bleeder screw, might as well get new seal, boot and replacing the piston if it's pitted to have basically a new caliper.

Yes thermal shock breaks the rust.

Its real cool he takes the time to do this to help teach others. He's a great guy!

Robert Beck thanks and great tip!!!

If you are doing regular maintenance and bleeding your brakes yearly no if you don’t plan on touching it I would out some anti siege high temp compound to stop this from happening

Benny Wong he's fucking animal strong to!

never had it affect a single caliper in my practice. brake components are meant to with stand a bunch of heat and disipate it . so a heat cycle shouldn't damage anything

No. Unless you slip or mess up with the torch. the caliper is designed to take a ton of friction heat from braking. You're directing the flame on the bleeder bolt.

thanks man

propane torch will work just takes longer, but a mapp gas torch is easily purchased at a hardware store. but i purchased mine for less than 10 dollars. thanks for watching

honestly never done that usually when i do this repair i urge customers to have them opened and checked every six months to avoid the seizing and on my own i flush them yearly so i dont see any reason not to a its not going to have a direct contact with the brake fluid figuratively speaking

thanks

thanks for watching

frank jones that would be the proper way, the screw expands lenght wise,and when it cools ,it is smaller ,shazam it comes out easy

Thank you

Thank you!!

True but most of my customers don't have the time to wait

it is flammable but its like a slow burn, it can easily be blown out just use common sense. never had a issue with it lighting up

That's not such a bad idea. I'm gonna try it out. Thanks.

Yeah the piston that goes in and out of the caliper has runner seals , they will be ok

@@JoeTheAutoGuy Thanks a lot.

New caliper time

@@JoeTheAutoGuy in my case, brake cylinder (it's a drum brake)

most time yes

never had one at risk of fire but good tip

JoeTheAutoGuy like you mentioned penetrating oils and spray cleaners are flammable and if there's a lot of grease build up on top. Just too easy for that and brake hose to catch fire or hose to melt. Even aluminum foil will catch fire. Here's an alternative to a torch. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ATSL7VE/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1. Also when ever using torch please have fire extinguisher close by. Also please in your videos in which you use a torch tell others to keep a fire extinguisher close by before you start working with the torch. Saftey first bud. I use oxy/acy torch on stuck bolts instead propane or mapp. So lot higher heat and risk of fluids or grease and stuff catching fire. And keep in mind most your viewers aren't pros like you and me. Some are trying to do this for first time and don't realize how flammable some those sprays are. Otherwise great videos and thanks for sharing. Nice that there's cool people like you out there helping to teach others!

fixed them with all stainless steel lines. im in MN but i do this brake line job probably monthly

Worked fine for years map gas torch doesn't produce heat transfer in high surface area , heat dissipates to fast in the surrounding area , localizing it the the bleeder screw surrounding , it will get hot but not more than heavy braking

I have no idea what your talking about lol

@@JoeTheAutoGuy , You probably have no say in what is advertised before your clip. The Advertisement was suggesting that the investigation into 2016 election is all a politically motivated conspiracy by the FBI. I find that offensive. That being said, It likely has nothing to do with you and I hit the skip button as quick as i can. I am bleeding brakes on truck and appreciate your video
