Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Is it ChrisFix?
"Hey Guyyyss!"
Yep, it's him.
Why did I watch the whole video...?
I don't even own a car.
ChrisFix videos are short and to the point, but maybe a bit oversimplified.
Eric The Car Guy, South Main Auto Repair and briansmobile1 are the channels you go to for in-detail car repair videos (although it tends to be more "Here's a job I was hired to do and decided to record")
Whatever you do don't watch Scotty Kilmer.
It you are mechanically inclined, brakes are an easy way to save money. Watch a video for your specific car before attempting though. Some times that rotor is held on with the rusted phillips screw from hell, and you don't want to attempt removing that without the right impact tool.
He kind of glosses over jacking up and supporting the car, you'll want to watch a video dedicated to that (or read your car's manual) to avoid attempting to support the car by a weak point and damaging it.
Great video, I've found a lot of ChrisFix videos to be useful. However, I think it's much better to use moly brake lube rather than anti-seize. It lasts longer and is actually designed to lubricate and does a better job preventing metal-on-metal noises. That's just based on personal experience from doing both disc and drum brakes.
Really can save a lot, most places will charge $400 to do your brakes, I've helped friends having them actually do it and they're amazed and pissed at how simple it.
The brake line hose, a lot feel that stainless braided lines are the best, not really, replacing the oem rubber ones are just as good. People will state they're firmer, what they are feeling is they just replaced worn hose, a new rubber will be firm also.
Bleeding brakes is another video he does, a must know how to when doing brakes.
Stupid question, but after following this video what would be the signs that you put on the brakes incorrectly?
yea the instructions may vary depending on your make and model.
