      What a satisfying feeling. Not to mention the money we save by doing it ourselves. You don’t have to be a gear head to do routine maintenance on your vehicle. If you’re handy and can follow directions you can maintain most of your vehicles wearable parts with nothing more than a basic wrench and socket set. Every able bodied vehicle owner should be able to replace their own brakes, filters, fluids, oil changes etc.

    Growing up as daddy's little girl, I learned how to repair a car at a very early age, but they were older cars where you had to bleed the brakes, etc, so when my Corollas brakes were starting to scrub, I got nervous about changing them, since I've never worked on a car this new, it's a 2016, anyway, you made it look so easy and really put my mind at ease with it, thanks. It took longer to jack the car up and take the tire off than it did to swap out the pads, YAY! I hope you have a video for the back brakes for when I need to do those!!

  • @Sheeple-Wake-Up
    @Sheeple-Wake-Up Před rokem +13

    Definitely use jack stands. I found out the hard way a long time ago. When I put the key in the ignition and turned the wheel, the jack slipped out and the car landed on the rotor. Luckily I was able to put a floor jack under the front and lift it up. I definitely lucked out and the rotor wasn't damaged, but was replacing them anyway. Ever since that I always use a jack stand and keep the jack in place only as a backup. Do not skip that step!

    Best step by step with 0 bs. I believe anyone with at least basic tool sense can and should do it by himself/herself since even the mechanics charges left and right just for the pad replacement and dealerships are ready to rob you!
    Update: I finally threw away the lemon pads I was sold by the Baierl Toyota and installed Bosch quitecast following this video and it literally took me about 30 min for the one to understand what's going on and the other one took me about 10 minutes to install the pads. I felt so stupid that time thinking how I wasted about $150 at the dealership for a 20min job with lemon parts!

    I'm back The Mechanic. I wanted to hop up on here and give an update regarding my 2013 corolla S and the death wobble. I had a feeling that it was more serious then just a bad wheel bearing and hub issue. So with further investigation turns out that it is a bad rack and pinion. When you have a lot of play in the steering wheel and wandering at high speeds and then the death wobble with those factors in the equation is a #1 indication of a bad rack and pinion.

    I accidentally loosened the bolt for the brake fluid so some of it dripped on the floor. Do I refill the brake fluid reservoir a little to compensate for the loss?

      If you introduced air into the brake system then your brakes may not work properly.make sure your brakes still work...

    Just wondering why there was no clips on the brake pad? I made the mistake when I bought a new clip and bushing set and I put 2 sets of clips on the brake pad and when I got to the other side I realized there was only one clip for the top of each pad so I watched your video and I didn’t see any clips on your pads.

      I can't remember. Not every brake pad set comes with clips, sometimes the clips just don't fit , or I may have forgotten to install them. I can't say

    You didn’t need to pull the brake fluid reservoir cap, or add any fluid or anything like that?

      Non of that is necessary. You can remove the cap if you want while pushing in the pistons on the calipers but it's not necessary

    Do you have the torque value for the rear 2017 Corolla? Great video by the way. Helped a lot.

    I would have painted the calipers but greasing them its ok too.
    I do however grease the parts before installing the rotors because you might get the dics dirty again and thats double the work

    Thank you so much I think I'll be trying to change mines since I took it with a mechanic like 3 months ago to get them changed and it sounds like an old ass wheelbarrow -__-
