The original “hey guys” from over 10 years ago, truly incredible 🥲
My brake line is melted to the cylinder.. any advice?
What causes the cylinder to blow out after replacing it in a 2002 ford Taurus rear brakes
Very good job thanks sir God bless
This is olscool Chris 😊
But what if we don't have a second person to help can't we do the brake bleeding method with attaching the hose and then putting it inside of a small bottle and getting a full tube of liquid into a reservoir of liquid and then pump until you see no more bubbles?
This vid. ways better than other clips ,,, slowly step by step how to remove wheel cylinders easy to follow
So easy….
Chris makes the best videos! To the point, accurate and perfectly paced.
Hi, why when we press the brake the tube cylinder pops out and all liquid comes out. What are we doing wrong? Thanks
Thanks sir.
Awesome awesome video best I've seen on this topic I like how calmly you go at things
Lol… I Love the cut actions bonus content.😂 You should put these at the end of all your videos 😅
Hi. I got a 91 Ford f350 7.5 can a rear wheel cylinder cause the brake pedal to have no pressure and goes way the way to the floor?
Great job you have learned very well wish more young people would learn this according to this video you are a teacher
Very good illustration you did it to the T
Why are my cylinder “arms” crooked (maybe 15 degree angle) where contacts the actual brake shoes ?
“Breeding da bwakes”😭
Chris makes fantastic videos, very well explained, with video work that actually shows step by step what to do. Thank you.
Thats why i love 4 wheel disc brakes.

I absolutely love the whole outro bloopers so you can breed the Blake's and a brake renovation. 😆 😂 Great video Chris.👍💯
As always, simple, clear and awesome. Chris your amazing.
Side comment to anyone new to car repair, though, handling brake fluid and brake dust barehanded is not recommended. Do so at your own risk, especially if you have an older vehicle with asbestos in the pads. Not good to breathe, eat, or touch. However, you are probably grown-ass men so feel free to ignore, it will put hair on your chest. Until the radiation treatment takes it off =P
Why did you not use a line wrenvh on the brake line to avoid tounding the fitting . Thanks
A calm and gloveless Chris Fix before his ultimate evolution
Thanks lot.
How about show the difficult part worthless video
🇵🇬,,,
So far I've blown 5 wheel cylinder trying to do this. What am I doing wrong?
Chris, might be a dumb question here as I haven't screwed with Drum brakes in 20+ years but I imagine there is no difference from the left and right side wheel cylinder. Interchangeable left to right?
I wish I had known the wheel cylinders wearing out could cause the pedal to go mushy. I bled the bbrakes but itdidn't solve the mushy-ness, so I took my vehicle to a shop, and paid big money for them to do this, which I was totally capable of doing myself…if I had known. Ugh. car repairs…
ye
I am planning on do the drum brakes on my 1999 dodge ram 2500 V-10 Ram with the resent cold snap my rear drum brakes started to leak which made this DIY job necessary I look forward to trying the tips you gave in your video because I have never done drum brakes before
thanks in advance.
