--- She seems to have missed greasing the slides and maybe some never-seize on the bolts.
I'll have to watch it again.

Forgot to push the piston back, but watched it a few time just because, uh because that's what men do I guess.
ReplyDeleteOn a rear disc brake, the park brake cable is attached to a lever that turns a shaft inside the caliper. The piston is screwed onto the internal shaft so it cannot be pushed in, it has to be turned in. My Civic had that setup.

She did push the piston back, at about the 35 sec mark, using an Evercraft widget and a ratchet and extension.

My bad, she did push the piston back. I must have been distracted and not saw that part the first 6 times I watched the video
DeleteI have thought when the brake pads are replaced , the disk needs to be ground to match the new brake pads. No?
ReplyDeleteRotors are either good or they're warped because they're pretty thin nowadays.
DeleteUsually if you catch them before it sounds like someone wearing a pink knitted hat they'll be alright.
nope, not necessary
DeleteTypically they'll mike the rotors to see how thick they are before turning them down.
DeleteLast year I had new rotors installed because they were already turned a few years before and were too thin to be turned again.
She could have applied lube to the guide pins. What an opportunity for innuendo that could have been.
ReplyDeleteWell, she did say it was "nice and tight" so there's that.

ReplyDeleteI have never seen such clean hands for a puck drop brake job. No gloves, no brake cleaner, and a rear caliper that easily screwed in?
ReplyDeleteGood job! Better than most brake shops. Dailey driver shit. Get er done.
ReplyDeleteDon't see many girls willing to do that kind of work.
ReplyDeleteMy rear pads are wearing thin but not worn out. Mech. says I need to change both rotor and pads. Why?
ReplyDeleteMaybe because the mileage indicates the rotors will be below minimum thickness - there will be a minimum figure in the service guide or the lip around the rotor edge is so great it is obvious without measuring. Plain Jane rotors are not expensive.
DeleteSome shops have to CYA and refuse to swap pucks without swapping roters. Frikin' lawyers.
DeleteWas waiting for the lug wrench to flip and catch her in the crotch like older lug wrench videos.

You see those earrings she had on?
Earrings?
Deleteps I’d like to see her do drum brakes.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago the kid showed up from college on a weekend unannounced with a guy we had never met and squealing brakes on her Accord. No time to do a proper repair, so took it over to Brakes Plus. What a mistake that was. Guessing they had never heard of lube for the pins. A month or two later the Accord was back and I took it over the my buddy who still runs a Honda shop. Fixed things up as they should have been done, but not for the "budget" price that Brakes Plus banters about in their advertising. Two pea sized dollops would have been more than enough to have gotten that part of the job done right. Live and learn-you usually get what you pay for.
ReplyDeleteSomebody needs to wife that girl.
ReplyDeleteFor sure
DeleteAnd with those nails, and she didn't even chip one?
ReplyDeleteShe might be a keeper.
I use Heat Sink grease - the white silicon grease you put on power transistors before you nail them to the heat sink. Acquired a tub of it in the 70s and it lasts forever.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that might make this worth watching is if she was bareass nekkid.
ReplyDeleteMy only criticism is that she should have used a jack stand. I do not trust scissor jacks. For that matter, I do not trust hydraulic jacks either. They fail way too often. A jack stand, even a Harbor Freight jack stand, is much more reliable.
ReplyDeleteShe did put a block under the axle/springs. She removed it just before putting the tire back on.
DeleteAt least she did it herself, I’ve met young men around here that can’t even keep proper air pressure, much less change a break pads.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't let her work on the breaks on my gocart.
ReplyDeletebreak v. brake. Doesn't anyone know how to spell anymore?
ReplyDeleteSplel check does..
DeleteNice rack!
ReplyDeleteI liked the view, but even in my own garage I try not to wear shorts, of course if my legs looked like hers I wouldn't worry as much. And she pulled it off without screwing up her manicure.
ReplyDeleteLast time I did my own break job I swore I’d not tackle it again due to my worn out knees. Getting old is tough but I’d be happy to pay her to do them, if I could watch. The eyes still work fairly well.
