I love Jimthecarguy--and I'm a girl who knows little to nothing about cars (except how to drive one)! This tutorial video was my 1st DIY brake-replacement and I learned A LOT!! As a teacher, he gives clear, concise and simple instructions that are both easy to understand AND FOLLOW!!! Jimthecarguy is a game-changer in DIY video tutorials on cars and someone I'll be following from now on! Keep up the GREAT work Jimthecarguy!!! :)

The trick in removing the e-brake alone was worth the price of admission! Just excellent and a step I haven't seen in any other video. Thanks for sharing those pro tips! They are hugely appreciated!

So true I was looking for the same thing. Thank you Jim

Great job Jim! I've learned a lot from you! Always a professional, never miss a step! Cheers buddy!

Very good videos for beginners. Im a young rookie mechanic myself & found this very useful

The best, simpyl the best video for this I've found. Lighting, explanation on the little detail stuff which can be so often where mistakes are made. Thank you for taking the time.

Thank you Jim, for teaching this old dog some new tricks. I replaced the rear calipers on my son's Accent and struggled with that darn parking brake cable.

Nice work Jim! Later today I'll be doing a 4 wheel brake job on my daughters 2013 Elantra Limited and now consider myself an expert thank to your video!

Good info as always. I'm glad you showed the correct way to bleed them. Most videos just say bleed the brakes but they don't explain it as well and they do not show the fluid actually coming out. When you're trying to explain to somebody how to do it it's nice to have the visual showing how to tell if there is still air in the line.

I knew I should have watched this first. I fiddled with that damn e-brake cable for 1/2 hour or so. Came in, watched you reattach it and had a Homer Simpson DUH moment.

Great video!

Very detailed good mechanic.👌💯

very good video . add a little piece of clear hose to the bleeding valve nipple, makes the job cleaner and no oil on the disk or pads. there are 4 notches on the piston face and one of them must be position to accommodate the pin on the rear pad!

Nice video Jim, thanks.

When conecting calipers to brake hose first release bleeding valve and let fluid fill up calipers by gravity then proceed to bleed air from system. Its faster like that.

Nice OTC stuff!!!

Was there's a lot of help to know the way you teach me thank you I like to work in car but I'm a rookie

Great video Jim! Learned a lot. I just added Powerstop evolution Z23, brake kit, with drilled and slotted rotors, and carbon ceramic pads. So far so good, for the price? I’m going to tackle the rears tomorrow, if the weather cooperates? Thanks for the knowledge. I’m installing on a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL, and so far, about 3 days now, I love this kit! 👍

Is there a video of replacing those dust covers as well?

Excellent video. How can you tell if the caliper is bad?

Great video! Was that car underwater for a few months?!?!? The rust all over that wheel was the most I've seen.

Is the holes for little screws both r broken off n do not have guts for new screws on the rotors can the rotor still be put on n finish brake job . Will this affect how the rotors n brake works

Hi Jim, I got a crazy question about bleeding brakes. I had new brakes front and rear pads & rotors put in. Then 2 months later a right driver front caliper went. The shop put in the new caliper. Then I drove away and it felt like I had only front brakes. The passage rear rotors seem to get hot (normal temp) and driver side rear rotor - ICE COLD !!! Since the drivers front new caliper put in and then problem with rear caliper not working - is there air in the rear caliper line ? Thanks

Hey Jim, Thanks for the detailed video. I have a 2011 Hyundai Elantra with rusted out backing plates in the rear. Any suggestions as to how to remove those 4 hub bolts that are behind the hub wheel on tight?

@jimthecarguy

2 жыл бұрын

That is a very common problem. Most of the time it is the rear right side. You will need to remove the rear brakes and hub bearing so you can then access the backing plate. Good luck . Let me know how you do.

At the 00:30 mark, what did you use as the jack point to lift the car?

Hey I have a question, I bought the correct rear brake pads for my Hyundai Elantra 2017, however when adding the new brakes, I noticed that it didn’t have the hole where you add the pins compared to the original old brakes. I also noticed a couple other videos where others don’t had the pin. I did a drive test and everything was perfect no issues. Will this have an impact with the new brakes not having the pins?

Could you mention the torque specs, or the best place for a non professional to find them?

Would this be the same for a 2023

I replaced my caliper piston and had to bleed the lines bc I didn’t have specialty tool (ended up buying anyways ) now my brakes are unresponsive. Should I keep bleeding the lines and filling as needed ?

Great video! I can't get the clip off of mine though 🤬

Make one for a Kia Forte

Where are the rotors that you mention in your title?????

My concern is pinching the fluid cable. too delicate and get easily damaged.

Why did you change the calipers ?

If you're not swapping calipers how do you compress the existing caliper?

On the front just use clamp to press them in on the back you need special toll because piston needs to be turned and pressed at the same time.

Hey Jim, I need to change the ABS sensors on a 2001 grand cherokee laredo 4.0 6 cyl. ( i cant let let this car go, has only 128k miles). can you tell me the tools I will need to remove. hope you can help. Done by a girl. Daddy's little girl!
