Yes, note no injury there, on the other side, however, because Levi was using the masonry block as his chew toy, Andrew had to fall back to using the spare tire - guaranteed big bruise came from that interaction.
I fell off my chair laughing at 1:25. I know nothing about cars so I found you throwing a cinder block at the tire to get it off hilarious. One year later after subbing and you are still the best channel on this site, hands down.
10:55 .... man, I love the camera angles you find to ensure we see it all. Others would not bother and just say "it was difficult to access, but I got it done" yet you spend the time to get the camera in place for us. Thank you so much!
Loved the cinder block removal trick! I once used a steel Scuba dive tank to encourage a stuck wheel to let go. Andrew, thank you for no commercials, & no request for thumbs up. Your practical way of doing things is fun to watch! -Thumbs up!-
Yeah, I squealed when the wheel flew at you! My Mitti bitti SUV will be 20 years old this November. 260000km and never missed a beat. My Dad bought it for me to learn in when I was 15 and I still have it. I've had other cars as well, and it's no longer my daily driver, but I'll never get rid of it, I'll drive it til it dies.
@AstronomyToday At least when a gravel or dirt road gets wash boarded or develops potholes you can just run a tractor or dozer over it, that's what my grandfather did for years at his place. Got all the neighbors to chip in some money for a load of gravel once every 4-5 years and then spread it with his tractor.
The two bolt holes in the rotor are so you can thread bolts into them and get the rotor off without having to pound on it so much and I would also put on anti seize on the face of the wheel bearing assembly and on the face of the rotor which touches the tire just to make it easier to get off later.
get it done Andrew, what makes it so interesting for me is, you have the equipment, the energy, perseverance and a natural sense of what to record and what to edit, i always look forward to viewing your upcomin challenges, successes and the occasional unknown curve ball that as a hitter Andrew you always hit them outa of the park cause of your love for the game and it shows, that what makes it for me (also your love for Levi) so in the spirit of always moving forward, thanks for taking me along once again
Timothy D, Andrew’s stated in the past that he’s got a few roof leaks going on and the place is not insulated. I’m sure he’s up there quite a bit in the summer.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and get a feeling there is a new video from Andrew, and sure enough I'm almost never wrong. Keep doing what your are doing (and what makes you happy)! You're the man, my dude.
Love the cider block trick. You need some anti-seize on those brake disks to stop the corrosion. Levi really seems to have sense of I need to back up and stay away.
Andrews face when he hit the tire with the tire.....He was like.....shit, did anyone see that? Oh right, I can just edit this. Then he doesn't. So it was funny. I LOL'd for real. My wife like....what you doing in there?
Using the spare tire to get the original tire off is quite a common way to do it... Though, if you do it a meter off the ground then you’re asking for what you saw in the video.
Thanks for the great video mate ,here in Australia they call these Mitsubishi challengers ,they are based on their ute the triton with the full ladder chassis ,they are one great little 4x4 had one years ago ,towed trailers off road mainly beach camping ,son now has one and he beats on it like a red headed step child ,and it just keeps going .One thing I've learnt is spraying used cooking oil underneath coating chassis and floors and drive on a dirt road ,which helps it set protecting it from rust .Cheers from down under.
Nobody sprays WD40 on such stuck wheel. If you have a flat next to the highway you are going to wait for WD40? I’ve used spare wheels many times to smack them off. Doesn’t harm anything and the job is done in a second. If the WD40 gets inside the brake then you’re screwed.
Andrew, some hints from someone who has spent a lot of summers changing brakes: - To remove tires: Hammer the inside of the rim with a nylon hammer. Takes 2 hits max. - To remove disks with handbrake drum included: Do not hammer them like you did. You can adjust the tension of the hand brake through a little hole next to the rim screws. Use a little light, untight the shoes from inside and disk comes out easy. - Try to get copper grease for the brakepads. Set it where the metal of the brakepads touches the brake calipers. Keep up your awesome videos!
Your pins that the caliper and the pads run on are all rusted up. That is why your pads are shot on just one side of the rotor. Lots of brake grease during reassembly will help a lot.
Love your channel Andrew!! Thanks for all of the information you share and the laughs you provide. Never thought excavating would be so enjoyable to watch but your videos are perfect for my attention span and perfectly edited the way you speed it up at the right times to keep on pace. AWESOME Channel, keep it up!!
I've been watching Andrew's work for the last year or two prolly longer. Sometimes I fast forward just to watch later and see something I may have missed. Other times I watch 'em again because to be honest, Andrew is a high-light of the day rerun or not . I mean this guy is so smart, honest and wise beyond his years, respects his dad, he is super positive,( EVEN THE VIDEOS WHERE HE'S "DISSED", HE SHOWS NO ILL WILL), not like some you-tubers. Although one can tell he's angry he'll not lash out. good job dad,(THAT'S TO YOUR FATHER HE RAISED YOU PROPER WITH "OLD SCHOOL" AND A WHOLE LOTTA RIGHTEOUS MANNERS). GO TEAM ANDREW CAMARATA ! !
Hello Andrew! Your videos are really authentic. I'm really surprised what you do there. It's fun to watch you. No matter what job you do, it always works. I have great respect for it !!! 👍👍👍👋
Been pressing brake pistons back in with a C clamp for many years and never had one leak fluid like that (replace it). The rust you guys deal with is REAL. I'm in Vegas and planning to move to Kentucky, guess I should get a couple extra cinder blocks and stock up on cut-off wheels and grade 8 hardware lol. Great video, Andrew - keep em coming =)
Your channel is my favorite on RU-vid! I live vicariously through you. You are an inspiration too many. We appreciate you and all the content you create. It is my understanding that when compressing the caliper you should have the fluid reservoir uncapped/open so that the pressure can be relieved and fluid can back flow.
Dude..you just made my weekend much better, 3 videos back to back? nice!!! less editing and more uploading is the way to go I guess.... We all enjoy your work, Thank you!!
*DRIVERS SIDE REAR.... Should clean those Pad Pins every time and ad some White Grease or Anti Seize on the pins, that's why the inner pad went bad... the outer pad isn't or was barely moving due to lack of lubrication on the Pad Pins, thus barely pushing on the rotor!*
Have to say, of all the people I subscribe too, I never get board with Andrews. His abilities as, mechanic, builder, plumber, electrical and many more is amazing. Nothing is too old or too out of shape and shows you don’t need the best and newest of everything to get a job done. Keep er lit (Irish supporter)
That lift was the best thing since a pocket on a shirt for you. I see your busy making videos again. Levi is showing his age. Make sure his pillows are just right!! Love the videos Andrew
I always enjoy your videos. As a mechanic, replace that caliper as the piston seal is leaking. Or better yet take the caliper apart and rebuild it, would make for a great video.. also polish and lube those slide pins so the brake pads do not stick
parteibonza the weather is cool it’s winter down here I’m from just north of Sydney and the temperature is 15deg c (59deg f) sunny with a few showers today
Again There was allot in what LEVI said at the beginning of this video. He seems to have a way of explaining what your about to do. Great job Andrew and as always LEVI is the MAN !!!!!!
Great video Andrew...seeing things like this helps when I need to work on something. You told them it popped...they said "What's your address?" Now THAT is true customer service & warranty replacement! It is sad that this is not still the normal in today's world.
Open the Brake Fluid cap when compressing the calipers or it can cause a caliper to leak when compressing it. I put Aluminum exhaust system on my 1976 Dodge truck and no rust or leaks for decades now. Was glad to see a new video.
@@throngcleaver he definitely not caliper busted should have replaced the leak right away plus the pins. He didnt fix it so many steps he missed. Those brakes will fail with in 48 hours
One thing someone else mentioned is at the beginnings, you cut right to the video. No liking, subscribe, bell, merch... No 5 minutes of non sense for a 10 minute video!
@@Don.Challenger well I live in southern California, so my tolerance for weather isn't very high, even here. I require 260+ days minimum of sunshine and lollipops, t-shirt and shorts weather!
So the rail grease can collect salt and grit and making grinding compound? My rails are covered and they still ask you not to grease them. I did it Anyway, but here I wouldn't.
I absolutely love your editing. The content alone is mesmerizing and incredible, but paired with your eye for editing takes it to another level. Really happy to see your channel taking off.
