I love how this is silent and doesn't waste any time or grate on the nerves with talking. I find it really soothing, like the old school nature films. Pretty useful too, I think.

I'm usually disappointed by "silent" CZcams videos, but this was very good.
Thanks, Your video gave me a good way to judge thickness. If it's close I will replace but I can now clearly understand the difference between plenty of metal left or time to replace. Awesome
If you don’t want to take apart your car to measure what discs you need go to your service manual and look for the PR codes! Helped me out a lot
If you zero out your slide caliper on the 2 coins before you place them on either side of the rotor, you will not need to subtract the thickness of the coins after you measure the caliper with the 2 coins.
thank your for your comment. I will follow your advice next time.
+suja yasin make it so the thickness of the coins is 0 on the caliper, means that you don't have to subtract the thickness of the coins.
yes but the lip will interfere with your calipers. by doing it with the coin you are avoiding the lip... your way the caliper will ride on it
@@666dynomax No, place the 2 coins in the slide caliper and zero the display. Then place the coins on the disc and the caliper will have to open further to accomodate the extra thickness. The subsequent widening is the brake disc thickness. :)
Paul T ahh I gotcha. That’s awesome man. I need a digital set. I see them on at Canadian tire very cheap time to time they are probably good enough quality for me. Thanks
This was super helpful! Thank you for the video!
Great video! Very nicely explained to a layman person. I will certainly check it. Thanks again!
Excellent video...very informative and to the point. Thank you for helping all of us out.
Extremely helpful video. This video felt like it was done by an experienced engineer or technician.
Awesome vid man. Thanks very much. Thanks for sharing. Very useful and super clear! Good camera shots, bright and all.
Thanks man, this is very helpful video
Very clear, thanks for the video.
This is a very knowledgeable video. Thank you
Great video! It has been a huge help! I'm going to subscribe now. Thanks!
Thank you for this video
That's what I call helpful and thank god there is no music or verbose nonsense
Simple well explained!
Thank you. Really helpful.
thanks for this. very good
Excellent thanks! 👍
Just what i needed thanks
excellent video
Awesome vid thanks
Good vid.
Really nice presentation
Educative!
Very informative 💪
Great video! I'm going to go order a micrometer :)
pretty good
Thumbs up! Thank you!
I suggest using two washers instead of coins. Coins are not flat and it will result in a lot of variation and error. The third method is clever but of no value. Most rotors have approx .060 of material to work with and a tape measure will never see that. BTW, nice job on the video part.
Almost a valid point, coins aren't flat but their irregular surface fluctuates maximum of .25mm !!! So what if you have an accurate margin of 0.5mm?
Eric G there is a fourth option: if you're not sure they are in spec, buy new rotors and you will know for sure you are in spec then. Better to spend the money and be certain and safe
Are the coins compensating for the amount of wear below the edge of the disc? Not sure i understand this
When using the tape measure it from the 100mm mark
people buy the right tool for measurement, i mean its your safety and other on the road for gods sake 🤣 great video thanks
I loved this video even tho there was no one speaking. Maybe that’s why I liked it
very informative video
If you don't have a micrometer use another tool that you don't have. Brilliant!
Many thanks
What I think you missed is how one would roughly estimate if it can go until the next brake pads change.
Why do you need coins when measuring with a vernier caliper?
What is the site for the discard measurements. Euro?
The rotor should be checked for warpage with a runout dial indicator...warpage can be caused by overheating.
What do you mean by warpage
I think he means warped rotors.
omg did he really just measure disc thickness from both sides lmao.
Does anyone know how the Original thickness of honda 2015 front rotor thickness! brand new front rotor thickness?? thanks
I cant seem to find min thickness on a 96 deville base sedan
We’re some gloves it might help oil and break cleaners
Where did you get those coins from Chuck E Cheese?
JessieJ
They're European coins of about ten cents.
Has anyone ever heard of warped discs causing the wheel on balance it speeds between 65 and 80 miles an hour?
my old tires were fine no balancing problems on the highway at any speed two sets of brand new tires and vibration bouncing at 65 to 80 miles an hour.
could it be a total coincidence that my brake rotors or one rotor ended up warped and now it’s causing a bouncing or a vibration but at the very specific speed’s?
I can’t see that happening.
why would I get a bouncing or a vibration at 65 to 80 miles an hour?
am very please with video.
Is it necessary to replace rear rotors when replacing rear brake pads on a 2012 Honda with 32,000 miles???
Follow the instructions on the video and measure your rotors. The video IS the answer to your question (Y) Good luck! :)
You could also measure the thickness including the edge and then measure the side of the edges on each side and add them up

So ..rotors are supposed to have a "lip"?
Yes it’s normal for your rotor to develop a lip on the outer & inner edge where the pad doesn’t reach. Some shops even sell a special tool so you can cut the lip even with the rest of the rotor during a brake pad swap. (I’ve also seen it done the “cheap way” with a grinder and a flap disc lol) But yes many cars develop this lip, it’s normal, just check your pads each brake change to make sure your still well within spec and have enough rotor material to make it to the next brake service.
Why are the coins needed?
Always used safety stand
Most Rotors are roughly the same as most rotors, i'd say just measure with a tape measure and take them into your store and compare,
Why use the coins?
Why the coins?
A click-through thumbnail for your video on "Car body repair and paint in glossy black" is shown throughout the latter part of this video and entirely covers the rotor thickness specification portion of the parts website you've offered for example; the thumbnail can't be removed, closed, prevented or otherwise disabled. Only a little annoying.
i removed the click-through thumbail. Thranks for your comment.
I don't use micrometers. Brake rotors are cheap, I replace them every 70,000 miles along with new pads.

You can measure the brake

caliper slide or with micrometer .
For me I rather and
. preferred use caliper slide

طــبعاً ؛
فيه دوت 5 --- DOT 5
وفيه دت 6 --- DOT 6
لا تخلطهُم أبداً .
As the difference between new and minimum disks is only 2mm, measuring with a tape measure is extremely inaccurate.

Do you not know how to use a caliper?
Ja pomiar wykonałem w ten sposób czcams.com/video/CKUzwlYi1OY/video.html
Slow down the video next time so people can watch and read
Rocky Balboa Eh. There is this thing called play/pause button. Why don't you try it next time?
What is wrong with your coins?😳
I hate math
Good grief. Use the correct tool for the job. They do make calipers with different jaw shapes, and the most-common micrometers have c-shaped bodies. No need for adding extra bits. Just measure and go.
A tape measure...seriously????
Hope are we supposed to trust somebody in a how-to video when they don't even know the proper place to put the jack.
fabio40 hes working on the front wheel whats wrong with the placement of the jack
He has it under the rocker panel, not the frame of the car. The weight of the car could potentially cave it in. It happened on a truck of mine several years ago when a mechanic hoisted it in the same spot.
Hi Fabio40, #1- Why would you compare the jacking spots of a unibody FRAMELESS car and a full frame pick up truck? # 2- since the last 20 years, most cars have designated sluts on the seem of the rocker panels to received the lifting device, and that specific spot is designed to support the weight without damaging the structure. In perspective, you far more ignorant than the video guy !!!! You can't even jack a car up !!!! That's hilarious! 3#- By the way, can you even tell what kind of vehicle is in the video?
sluts....tell me more about these "sluts" how come i didnt get any fucking "sluts" with my car,typical fucking subaru.
I think he's had enough guys, lol. Stop pistol whipping the blind kid
Bull. Useless
Stupid metric system
You don't even need to convert the units like in math class. 😂
