Saved me from dealing with the frustrating dealerships who want to charge six arms and 4 and a half legs just to get something so simple fixed. So thanks a ton!
Just completed my first brake job, and your video was very helpful. Many doubted I could do this and said to take it into the shop. But with your help, I not only successfully changed all my brake pads, but saved myself nearly $500! You have a new subscriber!
***** AWESOME Kevin! That is what I love to hear! Nice job man! Glad you learned how to replace the brakes using my video and now you know how to do it in the future! Thanks for sharing! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
@@chrisfix What did i do wrong after i compress the piston the caliper still didn't fit over the new pads. And also what do i do when the brake reservoir overflow s after compressing the piston?
same here!
I would like to say thank you for putting very explicit videos. Most of these videos are "old", but still relevant. Thanks to these videos I was able to fix some "minor" fixes, that would have costed my daughter hundred of thousands of dollars. I even used some videos for my own car. I hope you update and or continue to do some new videos. This is my first go to place before I do anything! Again, thanks.
Thanks for this video. After watching it twice i had the confidence to do my own front brake and rotor replacement. Giving a like.
I finally got the courage to do this on my Suzuki thanks to you and it was a breeze thanks to your guidance 👍✌️
I can listen to u all day. So simple..straight to the point. Very clear with what to do. Didnt talk too much nor too little 😭 best video.
That he is.
IMPORTANT: You should spray the entire surface of the pad area once you take the old pads out to make sure it's clean.
You can use brake cleaner fluid spray and then proceed to replace the old with the new pads as shown in the video.
After you are done, you'll want to press the brake pedal a couple times to set the piston all the way and then when you feel the pedal to be as it should feel, then hold the pedal down for about 30 seconds and release.
Then press the pedal once again and make sure it feels right.
Good video.
Do you do this with the reservoir cap still opened slightly? I assume yes then close the cap completely.
Great video. Very instructional! Easy to follow.
THANK YOU! I did my brakes for the first time yesterday. Was almost as easy as you make it look. But I did run into two issues. 1) I have a different make and model. The tools required were different and the caliper and bracket are two different parts. Not a major issue because I was able to find another video specific to my vehicle and I was able to drive out to the store and pick up the specific tool I needed. 2) The rotors were seized to the hub. I was expecting to just pull the rotor off the vehicle like you did but nope. Thankfully the rotors were being replaced because I had to beat them with a mini sledge to get them off.
Again, thank you! This video gave me the confidence to do this myself. Saved over $300.
Great video, 2 things i have noticed, you should always clean your new rotors with break cleaner to remove all manufacturing oils, and always it is good practice to grease the guide pins on the caliper to make sure they don't seize up. Other then that great video.
Greasing the guide pins is a great idea. I dont know if cleaning the "manufacturing oils" off the rotors is needed honestly. I use to take my time to do that but in the end it gets burned off anyhow when you burnish the brakes... What do you think, is it really necessary to clean the rotors off?
Gunner is bang on da money gotta clean the oils off IF the rotors has em on..And for heavens sake lube and check those guide pins to make sure they are moving nicely..just did this on my 2003 Oldsmobile silhouette and those pins can lock up and bind like shit driving you crazy..these are musts especially in older vehicles
Chris from before his classic blue gloves. Thanks for helping me prepare to buy a used car, thanks to you i feel like i can fix anything
Just changed the front break pads and rotor on Acura RSX and showed my son as well. Many thanks for sharing your video and passing the knowledge to others. You saved me $300.00 :)) Am going to down load your videos and send it to my nephew and brother in Fiji Islands. Share the wealth :) Thanks a million
***** Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful. It is great you are teaching your son!
aksfil
The brake shop ripped me off. Want to charged too much money to replace the brake pads and rotors. This video taught me it’s simple job to do. I don’t need that scam mechanic shop. I can do it myself
Thanks for the video. Im 17 and will be getting my first car soon. My step-dad is good at fixing cars but its always nice to know how to do things on your own. Thank you a lot!
***** Congrats on getting a car! You should subscribe to my channel because I make a lot of how to videos that will teach you how to fix your car.
ChrisFix Just subbed, Keep up the great videos!
Great! Stay tuned for more how to videos! Glad to have you subbed!
Hey Chris, Love your vid's. You forgot to clean your new rotors with brake clean, many new rotors come with a protective film of oil to prevent rust while sitting on the shelf. Also I pull out my slide pins and clean out old grease and dirt and replace with fresh syl-glide lube. If pin boots are broken or cracked they need replacing.
Hey Chris! I just wanted to update my brake job progress.....The parts arrived late yesterday and I had already taken everything apart.....The first side (pads and rotor) went very slowly...Totally my fault for taking the brakes apart before the parts arrived...The rear pad replacement was a breeze.
This morning, I tackled the other side and got the pads (front and rear) and the front rotor done in about an hour! I would not have tackled this job without your OUTSTANDING VIDEO!
Thank You so much!
Bill
Bill Shideler AWESOME! Yea, the first side is a learning experience and as long as you take your time and learn properly, the second side will go by real fast! I am super happy the video encouraged you to do this yourself!
Great video! I used it as a reference when repairing my '02 Trailblazer. thanks for providing the tools to assist us fellow home mechanics.
+Mark Awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
Hey ChisFix, We need a great mechanic like you in Las Vegas. A true mechanic love fixing cars and take pride in the work provided. Salute to you! Keep doing great job.
I just had this done at the dealership yesterday for my front brakes. both rotors and brake pads. great video to understand what they did (And why the labor charge was so much!)
I've finally, at the age of forty, decided to do all my own basic repair jobs and save myself hundreds! Videos such as these have made it easy , and has taken away the fear that I may screw something up! Thanks
+Hugh Janus Glad the video was helpful!
THankyou chris i have a 1999 2.5l 4 cyl rwd ford ranger and until now i have not been able to find high quality easy to understand videos for the ranger! Im trying to save money and learn my way around automotive repairs [im a plumber] so i really appreciate it. keep on making vidjas!
Elliot Bernhaut Hey Elliot, I am glad my videos are helpful! Thanks for the feedback! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
I just had someone replace brakes on my wife car and after seeing it being done I felt I could do it myself. Your video helped a lot and now I was able to do the rotors and brakes on my truck. Thanks.
Leon Coleman Definitely give it a try next time. Use the video for reference and you wont have any problems! Glad it was helpful!
My 10 year old son and I really enjoyed your free class! Awesome!!! Thanks from Coral Springs Florida!!!
Dang he’s 15 now huh
Chris, Great demo video! My son who is an AG mech gave me a tip I would like to share. When you go to push your caliper pistons back so you can put the new pads in he suggest that you open the bleed port and remove the brake fluid that is closet to the caliper then shut the bleed. He told me that the brake fluid breaks down because the hottest place is the caliper in the hydraulic system. Adding brake fluid to top of and replace the fluid that was removed is the final step. Ron
Chris. Your videos have saved me hundreds. Thank you for what you do. I love the exact description and detail in your videos. Thanks again
No prob! Glad the videos are helpful!!!
Hey Chris I like your videos great camera angles and closeups and how you tell us extra tips while your fixing things. Like telling us a major tip at 11:48 make sure you don't use brake fluid that's been open for 3 months because it gets moisture in it and that's no good. I'm going to use a black magic marker and write on the brake fluid the date I first opened it. Thanks Chris your the best. Keep up the Great work man!
just changed my brakes yesterday. thanks for all the details Chris.
You saved me money. Thanks Chris.
hey Chris thanks a lot for your informative videos,you made me become a professional mechanic even before my car arrives.
Chris, great video. Thank you! We were not sure how those little pad clips went back on, your video helped a great deal. Appreciate your time making this. My only advice to you is WEAR GLOVES!
I love watching your videos. my boyfriend is a mechanic and works cars of friends and family and it's fun to watch him and understand what he is doing so I can do it myself if I ever need to. Keep it up!
That is awesome! Im glad you are learning a lot!
Your videos are very professional and you think for those of us who know next to nothing....Thanks very much...
***** No problem man! I am glad they are helpful! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
Thanks for posting this video. I've changed break pads before, but not the rotors. It's nice to be able to do things on your own and save money when you're a single mom. Keep it up.
lcauthon7 Thanks! Glad the video was helpful and yea, that is the idea, fixing your car yourself saves you a lot of money and you know you did the job correctly.
Best video I’ve seen regarding this device! Bravo!
Wen setting up a new rotor, it is always a good idea to clean up the hub with a metal brush in to avoid vibrations. Just a recommendation. Imagine If there is any rust on the hub. It will "prop" the new rotor from the inner side and this could prevent it to fit alongside perfectly on the hub. So you will have vibrations with your new rotor mounted. :)
BTW, I really love your videos. :)
This happens to be the perfect video for me. Im changing brakes and rotors on 2 2002 trailblazers today. Thanks for the thorough walk through.
Tony D. Johnson Perfect! Let me know how it goes!
It's kinda funny hearing current ChrisFix then listening to his earlier videos. Updated ChrisFix"HEY GUYS CHRISFIX HERE! Earlier one "Hey guys ChrisFix here" I love it though! I watch and learn from ALL your videos.
The best fix it video job I've seen yet, and very educational, thanks i really like how you explain everything, detail by detail great job bro
KONSEALED Thank you! I try to make all of my how to videos like this!
little did he know, chrisfix became superior :D
Tell you what Chris videos are easy detailed an didn't believe how doing it yourself was so much fun an cost cutting big shout here from the UK buddy your my new online mechanic :)
matthew wray Thanks a lot bud! I am glad my videos are enjoyable and helpful!!!
thanks Chris! you are so generous to share this Video I have save a lot of money. this is one of the many reasons why I love America
Such a useful video please do more chevy videos like these chris love ur vids man! saved me over $1000 in servicing fees.
+Aussie Trev awesome! That's what I like to hear!
You have great videos! I'm doing my front bakes on a 2004 Chev Trailblazer right now, but one thing I think you must touch on - is how to remove the rotor if it's stuck on the hub with rust. I saw others whaling away on the old rotor with hammers, using pullers (a kind of pricey buy or rent), soaking the assembly with penetrating oils, going at it in all sorts of ways. But there are those two threaded holes on the face of the rotor where the wheel lugs are and if you put a right sized bolt in there and tighten it down - that is a great and simple way to get the stuck rotor off! Cheers!
your videos are so helpful. i think youre better than scotty kilmer to be honest. hes great but i like you more. keep up the great work and thanks for helping us rookies out
Hans Sennik Thanks a lot! I am glad you like the videos and they have been helpful!
It might have already been stated in another comment. But I'll reenforce it. You should always clean the mating surfaces with a wire brush to make sure the is nothing between the rotor and the hub. Also make sure to wipe the new rotor with brake clean really good before install to remove the sealer on there that prevents rust. Love the videos keep up the good work.
Don Kellogg noone asked u....moron
Thanks for the great video. This DIY video saved me a couple hundred bucks. Stealership quoted me 900 bucks for front brakes and rotors also back brakes and rotors. Parts only cost me 200. Thanks alot .
Best video shows everything and gives great view of what needs to be done.
Vincent Lee Thanks Vincent! Glad the video had all the right angles and was helpful!
Dude you're like the God of all things a car has🤙. Really appreciate your videos & experience. 💪🤝
Great video. If I didn't see this or hear this. Brake Lubricant must NOT BE petroleum based, need to put some on the pins as well as the areas you mentioned. And with new rotors, need to seat the brakes to put pad material on new rotors, videos are on this subject.
Great video for changing brake pads and rotors!
I will do this on my own next time. I paid an arm and a part of my leg to get mine changed, but I'm definitely going to do this one my own next time.
Jesus Christ thank you for having this channel, you are probably going to save my uneducated ass thousands of dollars in the future.
Hi Chris, great video! A couple of points though... some models have the rotor held in by the wheel bearings (such as my 626). You need to remove the whole knuckle and have the wheel bearings pressed out by a machine shop, new rotor installed then new bearings pressed in. Also on older cars it pays to go slow on the piston compression - the seals can easily split and new calipers aren't cheap!
Albinus81 Thanks for the tips!
I've changed brakes before but never on a truck so I'm going to try today! Thanks
Seletheia Awesome! It is the same thing on a truck so you will be good! Let me know how it goes!
Ok thanks, I will try to get a kit and see if that works. By the way great videos very very helpful.
Good luck and thanks!
You're doing gods work, Chris!
+Eddie thanks Eddie!
thanks so much because of your skills i was able to hook my car up , with out breaking the bank thanks ,now everybody in my family won't to watch your how to videos my car wood still be broke if it wasent for you thanks
Awesome Valarie!!! I am glad the video was helpful!
Couple things you forgot to mention is when you get new rotors to clean them with brake cleaner to get get the oil that they are shipped with off. Also you should of cleaned the whole brake system while your at it to get dirt, brake dust and rust off of your new brakes snd itll look better. Love your vids ha been on a binge now watching all of them learning a couple new things here an there. Also waiting for the finished p71!!!
+Cody Price Thanks a lot for sharing Cody! Check out my top brake job tips video: czcams.com/video/xJDOuZzEAQc/video.html
I get the crown vic back in a few days!
8:39 I believe those are wear indicators.
Wear indicator on the leading edge (front:up rear:down). Springs on pads facing upwards.
Thanks a lot. I always wanted to do my breaks. This will help me a lot.
***** No problem man! I am glad the video was helpful! Definitely consider subscribing! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
Useful tip (just found this out today): If you strip your retainer screws that hold the rotor in place (thanks, Honda), use a "left-handed drill bit" (drilling counter-clockwise) to drill out the screw. After you drill in enough, it'll catch the screw and unscrew it if a) it's centered, b) it's lubed up. It was far easier than drilling them out the normal (clockwise) way or hamming them out with a punch or using a blow torch.
This was way better than I was taught.
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen bro..good job!
Good video. The only other thing I could suggest is if you're changing original rotors, take that caliper bracket out of the caliper completely (both bolts) to inspect the pins and boots - if those boots are torn then you're going to get dirt and moisture inside that pin boot and eventually it will rust and potentially seize your pad which would then also lead to warping your rotor. Awesome how-to!
mjj1587 Thanks for the suggestion! Like in this video: czcams.com/video/Gdc3PZ0gFvA/video.html
Chris- First, great videos! We appreicate the time and effort it takes to put one of these videos together. i would like to offer my 2 cents to you and your viewers. You REALLY need to be wearing nitrile or latex gloves when handling any brake, oil, or transmisison components. There are numerous articles now about the hazards of carbon, ceramic, and petro byproducts. Please take this as constructive input and invest in the proper PPE for these tasks. Again, great video and thanks for saving these viewers some of their hard earned money! Regards- J
+jta Thanks a lot for the tips!
Very clear and easy to follow thanks for this.
Great! Glad the video was helpful! Remember to give the video a "thumbs up" if you like it (that helps me out, thanks).
A fantastic DIY teaching. I really appreciate the good help ChrisFix. Thank you so much and thumbs up for you bro
Pierre Roy Peter No prob man! Glad you learned a lot and thanks!
Brilliant! Thank You Mr. Fix. Just successfully changed my rear brake shoes, thanks to you! Worked like a 'charm'. I have the 'brake wobble'. Next step, new roaters (spelling?)
Great! Glad the video helped! The wobble/vibration is from warped front brake rotors. Replace them with your pads and you are good to go!
Great video. I'm about to do my 04 Regal LS and thinking about attacking this project myself.
+nickycarts Awesome! Good luck!
Thank you for the GREAT video! Now even I can save some big bucks and enjoy learning more about my car and truck!
Randy Lavine No problem! That is the goal of my videos!
awesome video, thanks! this just saved me $200 by not having the local shop do my front brakes!
You are the best teacher thank you.
Great chrisFix！ I enjoy it very much & learned a lot from your world, thanks a lot. A thumbs-up for you.
Awesome video walkthroughs! If not necessarily doing this stuff on my own, it does help learn and understand how a car is put together and how the mechanical stuff works. Keep up the great work!
HrrE nR Great! Glad you are learning from my videos! Maybe it will help you do your own work one day.
Job well done! This one the best DIY videos on here. Thank you.
dewproser Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!
Very helpful video, I'll be doing my. Brakes from now on.many thanks
No prob! Def do it yourself! Save yourself a lot of money, learn something new, and get the satisfaction of fixing your own car!
Just changed my breaks on my saab 2005 this video saved me a fortune thanks
Thanks man saved me some money good sir
Hey man nice job I just went in to get my car serviced and it's expensive so this will save my family some cash thx!
932001quietstorm Awesome! That is why I make these videos!
nice in depth explanation, the one thing i will say though is you dont necessarily need that specialty tool, i use a big pair of pliers and they work just fine
Anthony Ferri You are right. I prefer it because if you are going to do brakes, a $5 investment is worth it!
ChrisFix
lol i use big c clamp with a block of wood.
Very helpful video. I'm about to do my first brake pad and rotor replacement.
Thanks ChrisFix
William Walbuck Great! Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
New automotive "how to" videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
We just completed same procedure on 2004 Toyota Sienna Van,,, Also Bedded the brakes!!!!
One detail you left out, it's pretty important to spray the rotors with brake cleaner before putting the tire back on. Dirty rotors will wear out faster.
Thanks bro! i realy love your high quality vids man. it helps me so much when i work on my car. Dude make more vids bro. i support
Thanks man! Will do and I appreciate the comments! Glad these videos are helpful! Cheers!
Oh yea if you can, can you make a video on how to leak brake fluid too. I think that will help out the community a lot. thanks!!
Will do. Bleeding brakes is pretty easy. I mention it in this video at the end here: How to Replace a Wheel Cylinder
But I can make one dedicated to just bleeding the brakes.
I really like how he explains his actions... great
Thank you Chris Fix, another great video.👍😎
The best i seen so far thanks
You just earned yourself a subscriber sir
x Broskee Awesome! Welcome aboard! Lots of really cool videos coming up!
ChrisFix Yea, your channel seems to have very promising videos. And it's great that you explain everything that we should know, most channels just show the steps but not the commentary and extra information on how to prevent repeating problems.
this has to be one of the best guides i've seen on youtube. good fucking job dude.
Thanks man! Remember to give the video a thumbs up if you haven't already (it helps me out).
i did
So helpfully thanks
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Very well done. Good instruction.
Another very informative and well done video, thanks for making it. And please keep on making them.
scotfree45 Thank you and will do!
great video, getting ready to do my brakes. Thanks for taking the time!
chhhaaching No problem! Glad the video was helpful!

Hi Chris, great vid. One thing: those 'springs' you swapped over aren't springs - they're wear indicators and you only need one per side, fixed to the inner pad's leading edge (top in your case) so they contact the rotor and squeal when the pads are worn and you go into reverse.
Guinea Fowl Thanks man! Yea, you are right. Sometimes when you make videos you use a term and it just sticks with the video. The "springs" are in fact wear indicators. I like to use 2 wear indicators on each pad because if there is uneven wear, one side might wear out faster.
Thanks for making this video. Clearly explained. And may I ask you something. Is the rotor and brake pad should be replaced at the same time even if the break pad still have 70% left? My Hyundai dealer recommended me to replace both because the rotor need to be replaced.
Hi mister Chris fix please upload for Nissan maxima 2010 Alternator replace thanks I like ur Every single video Because u show Every single piece and claer videos keep it up God bless u
it is a very simple way to do it and a lot of money to save
just curious thought you should brake clean the new rotors to remove the residue? not sure just checking great content by the way.
Nicholas I know this is a super old question but I hope over the past year someone helped you out with your question
thanks man i just fixed my 91 Geo Metros brakes and rotors and im a woman this was very fun to do.
1234 1234 Awesome! Glad you fixed your brakes! NICE WORK! Glad the video was helpful!
dude thanks for your DIY car videos!!
Best tutorial I’ve ever seen
As always, Chris, damned good vid!
I'll be doing this on my '03 T-blazer this Saturday. :)
V.T. Eric Layton Thanks a lot bud! Let me know how it goes!No
ChrisFix Went like a charm. I think that may have been the easiest front brake job I've ever done. Without the BSing with my brother and the coffee break, it probably would have only taken about 30 minutes. We stretched it out to an hour. ;)
Thanks, Chris!
V.T. Eric Layton AWESOME! Nice work!
