Hey there scotty I drive a honda crv 2000 I had a problem with the brakes.. it made my vehicle slow down.. I'm assumed that my calipers were bad and so did my parents, so I managed to get brand new calipers and brake hoses for both the driver and passenger side of my vehicle.. I'm still having the same issue, when the car cools down it turns on and drives perfectly but after 15 minutes the brake paddle hardens and my vehicle struggles to accelerate due to the friction of the brake pads, it always smells like burnt brake pads down there, can you maybe suggest some possible issues thanks
I love how you pour the brake fluid in 😂 ✌🏼
Yeah that was savage
Lmao! He's just so care free. No preciseness to him at all. Imagine him as a surgeon 🤔
@@sinistersmallblock 10/10 would not recommend surgery by Dr Kilmer 🤣🤣
@@kill3rhorsepow3r51 LOL!
@calk87 oh, come on now, this is an old beater car, and it was starting to rain so I was in a hurry.
wow, your that careless, wouldn't want you working on my car.
@GraniteBees not always, it pulled to the left on that road the way it was pitched as that wheel continued to move on the left following the drainage of the road. which side pulls where is always dependant on many variables. that's why you check both sides before doing any work.
@jonathanyip343 As I've already said, it started raining and I was in a hurry on that old thing.
Woh!
Solution from 8years ago!
Well, this worked for a truck that had given me quite a long stretch for a fortnight!
Thanks Scotty...
I hope you still rocking
@Nalcora I would change the pads to match the rotors, that makes em sway like that.
BRAKES PULL TO ONE SIDE If your
vehicle suddenly swerved to one side when you apply the brakes, there is
uneven braking side-to-side. This usually means one front brake is not
working properly. The pull will be toward the side with the good brake
(because it is doing all the work). Brake pull can be caused by brake
fluid, oil or grease on the brake pads, a stuck caliper, a blockage in
the brake line to one of the front calipers, or sometimes loose wheel
bearings. A brake pull can also be caused by different types/brands of
brake pads side-to-side on the front brakes. Different friction
materials have different friction characteristics, so the brakes will
pull toward the side that generates the most friction.
You keep saying front brakes, but I have this issue because of my rear brakes
Jazaka Allahu khairan brother, you have saved me lots of investigational work.
Scotty, I appreciate the work you do for us - people in need.
A lot of this stuff is really useful!
Well done, man. I love your energy. Something that's sorely needed in this day.
@MrTee448 yea, they are stronger than flare nut wrenches. I used to use those, now I use crowfoots.
@dmcadik drums in the front would have hoses, yes. But in the back they normally have solid steel lines.
Scotty I have used a lot of your videos for reference wile doing work on my 77 Vette. Complete life saver. Thanks again for your videos. Straight to the point and how to fix the problem.

@zerohunter64 yes, if bushings are worn, hitting the brakes can cause pulling to the worn side.
Thanks for your videos! I thought I knew a little about cars, but I learn something new with every video I watch from you. I'm saving tons! Thanks again!
yes, and do right rear, left rear, right front , and left front when bleeding in that order.
@Compwhiz128 hey one question at a time. Kinks can be carefully unbent if not too bad by carefully using locking pliars.
He condenses all this great info and logical troubleshooting into 3 minute videos, This guy is good!
@djmussy18 cause it wasn't working and now it was. and when I road tested it, the pullng stopped after putting the hose on.
I love the sound effects you make! It's pricelss!
Great video as well, I am a frequent viewer!
@suzukiholdenman old age does that, especially if you have hydraulic lifters. Try adding a quart of lucas oil additive, that can stop it.
@MrShtirlitz often a front end alignment or worn front end part will do that.
I have a 99 Taurus. Just the other day i had the rear tires replaced along with right front outer tie rod and wheel alignment done and now when i come to a stop car veers to left when braking. Thoughts?
Hey Scotty, thought I'd add a quick comment on your video for your subscribers.
Be careful when putting brake fluid in your car, brake fluid destroys clear coat, and if you get it on your hood or fenders you can ruin your paint!
Nice video, and thanks for the info!
Also dot 3 and 4 can easily be cleaned up with water, just do not get water into the brake system.
I'm sure he knows that. Being a mechanic longer than you've been alive lol.
You are one of my favorite youtubers!
@FromThe3PointLine headlights dim because the alternator isn't charging, the battery is weak, or the wiring has grounding problems. check those first.
@Warhawk407 the hoses near the callipers are the ones that wear out first. Idle speeds vary, but 1000 is a tad bit high on most cars. O2 sensors generally don't cause high idle, watch my video "how to fix a car that idles poorly" for fixes.
@bamac2008 yep, no brakes are normally master cylinders or other hydraulic problems.
As someone who’s not mechanically inclined and learning everything on their own this definitely helped me. Thank you.
either wheel cylinders need replacing, or brakes need adjusting to even them out. Pull the drums to see if cylinders are leaking
I have an old mx5 and your videos have saved it's life thank you
Nice vids Scottie ! Keep up the informative work !
many things can do that, but normally it's alignment slightly off. It can be adjusted by a front end man
Scotty, I think it's worth mentioning to be extra careful when dealing with anything involving inverted flare fittings. If you start torquing them up and wind up cross threading, it's a major pain to swap out the lines and they break very easily. Keep up the good work!
check the brake hose for collapsing inside, also check the master cylinder to see if it's sticking
Very concise and on point. No unnecessary blabber. Thank you Scotty! Appreciation! 🇿🇦
@RelentlessIntentions there's hardly any paint left on this beemer. It's getting a full paint job when it runs fine.
@blummiiii the front end has serious wear, have it checked out as I show in my video "how to check your car's suspension"
Awesome vids as always, cheers Scotty!!
You clearly know what you are talking about. Your videos are educational and entertaining. And you are a Ford guy. Subscribed.
Excellent video Sir, it helped out tremendously.
@tomtrek1986 then odds are the callipers are bad and sticking IF the alignment was done correctly.
i wish if had such a talented mechanic like u in our town !
Great video Scotty. And thanks for taking the time to answer our questions via email!
Great Video Scotty!! Thanks for the Info.
Dude you freaking motivate me. love ya videos
Awesome video just getting straight to the point 👍
@hp11208 push it once and hold it, and repeat a few times till nothing but fluid with no bubbles comes out
@PDizzleRizzleSizzle should have changed the rotors too, they are somewhat warped. Change em quick, or the pads will warp too
I like the trick to check the hoses, didn't knew it. Thanks!
Thank you sir . Your videos are the best
Youve gone and done it again scotty the proper steps in their proper order. im pretty sure youve saved me some money, either way I wont be spending any needlessly due to improper diag order. Blessings.
Hey Scotty great videos. ... when I breaking to a complete stop it stop and goes stop and goes
yes, change the rubber brake hose it must be collapsing. Only a stuck master cylinder would be the other possible cause
@Vacmasterthegreat of course it is, you analyze the whole car till you find the problem and fix it. In this case, a hose fixed it.
Scotty Ur my new hero ! Lol keep up the great work
Dude you are the best, keep on the good work
Awesome video Scotty! I've watched every single one and I love reading comments from people that say you are doing something wrong. Yeah like they know more then someone with 44 years of experience right? I bet most of the people that leave stupid comments aren't even 44 years old!
2:36 Brake fluid is corrosive & will attack paint, your handling the paintwork with dirty gloves. Then you spash fluid everywhere when you refill the resevoir. :O
AHAHAHAHA exactly my thoughts. But I'm sure he changed his gloves before touching that hood.
He knows.
I cannot understand people like you. It's so obvious that maybe for you it's a hunk of shit, but it doesn't mean it's the same for its owner. A good mechanic should take same care of every care car he repairs - IT'S A STANDARD!
It's not the gloves, that would bother me. It's all the spilled brake fluid, that will eat through the paint in just a matter of days = future severe rust issues.
That's already a classic car, and what kind of junk car do you have??
Same happened to my 1985 gmc 1500. Thanks Scotty
I love these videos :D
small front end problems often do that from the torque of the engine. That's not road slant, have a pro alignment guy check the front end out
@Nash94010 try cleaning it to shiny metal and greasing it first.
Scotty thank you so much you are basically working on my car. This is basically the same car I have! Hopefully you can do more videos on this car. It will really help me in the future.
Also my idle speed is 1000rpm is this normal for the this type of car also the same in the video? Would replacing the O2 sensor help? I have done all the things on your video about idle speed.
And I would like you advice. Which hose or line is the most important to replace? And the easiest for a novice mechanic
That is a " GREAT " & easy example you showed there, SIR SCOTTY.
@sbdem1986 old age, they collapse like the veins in a heavy smoker.
Great video.
Diagnosed my problem exactly.
I have an 06 Dodge Charger Daytona RT do I need a crows foot for the brake line or can I do it with a regular wrench
yes
love the information
Good job with the step by step troubleshooting
control valve is probably binding and needs replacing.
Hey Scotty.excellent video as usua l! the only thing I would add is for people to always use jack stands whenever raising a vehicle..most people would know to do this , but just in case there are some that don't. (.especially when someone is going to be inside the car stepping on the brakes ,while your under it tighting the bleeder screw.)
keep up the good work !
keep up the great videos!
Great videos.👌
great video Scotty
@playstation2bigs Old age, they collapse and fluid can not pass through.
10 years later and Scotty's videos are still life savers.
Right ? Back when Scotty went “uh!” More When something was on tight 😂😂😂
Definitely going to attempt to check my left front if it pulls to the right, is that the correct side i need to check. It nearly got me killed when it pulled too hard to the right I pulled back to the left and spun out. I did a brake check on a good road and I did determine that my brakes pull to the right I tested that going 45 mph, I was going 60 on the freeway and it was raining hard then.
LOVE YOU VIDEOS SCOTT , I ALREADY SUBSCRIBE
Hey Scotty can you make a video on how to fix car alignment problem when you get the chance? Thank you!
Question
Do you have to bleed the whole break System or just the front
2003 Pontiac Grand am with a 3.4L V6 (FWD)
This past week
i completely replaced 2 Front Wheel hub bearings/ 2 rotors/ 1 set of front brake pads/ 2 calipers / 2 Lower Ball Joints / 2 Outer Tie Rod ends, and 1 CV Shaft and still have squealing and a rubbing sound when braking, the booths on the
old CV Shaft are hard and the New shaft is soft rubber, could that make the weird sounds.
If its one whose that is clogged, do you need to change all of them or is replacing one enough?
thanks scotty your the best.us non a holes really appreciate you.
@Joseph9536 that's already been done.
Man scotty your a great man to a car lover like myself i do everything DIY :D
Thank you for the video man! I have the same car 1983 320i and it’s doing the same thing
feel bad, because I watch loads of these videos and keep forgetting yo like. great channel.
I just had the right wheel bearing hub assembly changed on the front right side of my 2000 Excursion. Now the truck truck pulls hard to the left when braking. Could they have damaged the brake hose?
@blackandwhiteslalom worn suspension parts, such as bad ball joints
Nice bimmer Scotty I have the same car, but after bleeding the brakes how I purge the clutch in this car correctly? thanks
@MrDantheoldsman probably just the cable.
I searched “brakes pull to right” because my BMW e21 has this problem and this is the first video to pop up. I love Scotty and my Mind-reading phone!!
scotty my 08 mustang Gt has one front tire that spins more freely than the other one. and on both rotors I have a single score mark that isnt too deep. I changed the brakes this past summer and i usually have only driven the car once a week. what can i do to fix this
any worn suspension part can do that, I'd advise a trip to a good front end mechanic, most give free estimates on work that needs doing. Even I use those guys at times when stumped by no obvious bad parts
Thanks bro you help me change a few parts on my car
Excelent videos thank you
im in collage to became an autotechnician. i love ur videos an i hope one day i became as good as you are..
@MicrosoftCPU3 the reason I haven't made evap repair videos is because you really need a dealer level scan tool and a smoke machine to make such repairs correctly. Without just wild guessing. And seeing that most people will never buy such expensive equipment, such videos would be useless for most people. and yes, cannisters do break down if you want to guess on an evap repair.
@green6234 watch my video "replacing a timing belt on your car" cause you have to remove the timing belt to change that water pump. After taking the belt off as in the video, just unbolt the pump and bolt a new one in.
hardy har har. It's not mine, it sat for 16 years unused, and that was right after I got it running. It no longer smokes, runs great after a couple weeks with me.
