Thanks. .. took itgarage and they released the handbrake line?? Think I'm gonna take a look because it feels like pins or slow release caliper. Love this channel. Even know how to test wheel rotation first now. 😊

Just replaced front pads and rotors. The new rotors were the coated kind . I had trouble assembling the front right side caliper back into the holder. I noticed the wheel was very stiff and didn't spin freely as you demonstrated. The left was stiff also but not as bad. I put the wheels back on and drove for a day. I now notice the front right rotor has partial wear. All other rotors have full wear. Now I'm getting a knocking sound as if the tires are going flat. I ordered a new set of front calipers. Any other ideas?

brake hoses can have blockages going either way.

Could also be because the old soft ( rubber portion) of the brake line is collapsing and not allowing a "release" of the caliper.

Good video bro
Do you recommend going to a machine shop to resurface the rotors?

[NJBeltCimmerian]

Good, concise video. There's no need to replace calipers in pairs of only one goes?

So I have the noise but it’s not slowly rotating. Tire spins and rotor spins fine. Just a bad noise. Had bearing, rotor, pad, and caliper replaced. Still making noise. Is it the bracket that may be unaligned?

[nathanielfausto]

What happens if the inner brake pad came off and the piston is holding the rotor and the piston is warped after the metal is shaved down from metal to metal contact. Can I replace the piston alone?

All the last few sets of brakes pads I replaced on 2 different cars, different brands were really tight on the calipers because of the clips. Here this seems way to easy to remove the pads. What is your take on this? Thanks

Ive had new rear break pads fitted and they squeak when I’m driving when i break it stops, any ideas pls

I have a 2017 Kia forte lx. The right tire doesn’t spin at all in the air. I am also getting a high pitched noise when turning right or breaking

This is like the 3rd or 4th video i've watched today, Here's the problem, I replaced the caliber on the rear passenger side, And i'm having the same problem with the new one, Am a delivery driver, So I went through my replacement brake pads pretty fast, Like 6 to 8 months The driver side wore so badly that I had to replace, The rotor too, l ( By the way, I am replacing both rotors, And all The pads for the rear.) The problem I'm having is, why is A Rear caliber for the passenger side frozen AGAIN!??! It is a 2020 Nissan centra, SV... like Is it common for the rear passenger caliber to freeze up?? Or do I just have a bad rear hose?

hey can the caliper pins, if one of them is stuck, can it cause the same noise ?

How to piston caliper back again inside after push the brake stop??

[Triosmind]

What if I push the piston in and a few seconds later it slowly goes back out? Is that just a bad piston?

[nashmoda]

What if you replace seal of the caliper and continues binding should i go further to replace caliper

[Dabayare]

What makes the calipers so expensive compared to discs, pads and wheel and hub?

[vadimgaisinski]

I think is just parking brake shoes not adjusted properly
