1. ChrisFix how about a video on how to replace a brake line and using the double flaring tool? In Chicago things get rusty pretty quick.

2. I have changed pads before but when I have drum brakes and you had to bleed them. Do you not do that when replacing pads. Great video!!

3. Is the step at 2:20 really necessary since you're taking the caliper off to get the rotor off. Can't you just take the pads out then?

4. I started to follow you because you not only give clear instructions but you provide the items I need to get the job done. Thank you so much for this.

5. Honda's have those nasty rotor screws – except this one. That will stop you cold.

6. Yeah I think mine are good .but will soon enough . But pads looks more thicker towards the outer part .. Though I've never done one with ABS . Any different ? 2016 Ford Focus SE

7. So easy. The hard part is having the tools

8. Hello, I bought copper anti seize from watching your other video on brakes for the mustang but I see you are using another anti seize in this video. Can anyone help on which anti seize to use or if both copper and non copper is good? Thanks

9. Good video cheers mate

10. Can I get a list of all the tools used

11. Help Chris. Help Help

12. Chris l cant get the breaks bleed .worked all day on them .still at the next day. New breaks roters and calibers

13. Dear all mechanics, please stop touching brake pads and brake rotors with dirty hands or dirty gloves. Every time I get my brakes done, i then have to do it myself to get rid of the awful and embarrassing brake squeal. Chris thank you for the great content as always.

14. You should hook me up with a set like that, so I can Chris fix it

15. Thaaanks! Really helpful

16. Chris I have one question :
    Why do you like hiding your face in all of your videos always?

20. The content is so great which let me realize I can actually do it myself !!!

21. Just subbed great work

22. Easy job👍

23. Hey Chris, my mom's 2007 highlander v6 has needed a new timing belt for 4 years but she can't afford to pay $1300 to get it replaced. I don't much experience working on cars, but would it be okay if I did it myself?

24. You can use a crowfoot on the torque wrench

25. Will this process be the same in a yukon and ram?

26. You deserve 100 million subscribers!

27. Hi Chris! I am not a mechanic but learn a lot from your videos. Question: once the brake pad need to change, is it also necessary to change brake rotor?

28. I’m a new mechanic.. just don’t know how to price my work. I was thinking of charging 70$ only for break pad ??

29. 5:47

30. Man I’ve followed ChrisFix for a long time. I forgot how different his videos were back then. In my head in this video, I insert ChrisFix “Perfect” or “From this… to this”.

31. greeting from kazakhstan i endure brake malfunction, positive outcome

32. ❤️❤️🙏🏼

33. Thanks man. Not too wordy, you give demonstrations and you explain relevant information. You make this work not seem hard at all.

    Thank you for the thorough, visual, and helpful video. I'm. Learning a lot and I know this will help me.

34. Hey chrisfixit Is it necessary to replace the brake pads clips?💕 From a Future service technician🖖🙏👈

35. هذا شرح جداً رائع وأتمنى أن توفر الترجمة باللغة العربية….

36. Have a guy who charges me $50 for doing brake service not including the parts, so it’s worth it to me to not get my hands dirty lol great tutorial

37. This guy is the king of tutorials, awesome angles, video quality, and explanations.

38. Helo friend…i am Brasilian…thanks for your viedo… show!!

39. Hey Chris this may sound like a dumb question but are all rotors different sizes? I’m 14 so I don’t know much about anything

40. I didnt need any of these but i have done them anyway it looked so fun…

41. So for parts we need:
    Front and Rear Pads and Rotors
    Anti-Seize Lubricant
    Brake Cleaner
    Silicone Paste (not sure what this is, is this the actual name?)
    Am I missing anything?
    Do you recommend a torque set – (eg 98, 20 torque) as opposed to just tightening manually – what is the danger if tightened too much?
    Thanks for this video, really well done and easy to follow, I'll be doing my brakes this summer so I'll be using this as the go-to reference very soon.

42. Anytips for breaks over heating after changing

43. Good video as always, but i need to address, that 8:45 "thing that is sticking out" is supposed to go into the hole in wear indicator 9:48. They are basically return springs for the brake pads.

44. Hi Chris long time fan .. I did a brake job on a 2003 acura back brakes . One bolt couldn't come off on the brake calipers . Any tips on how I can get it off

45. Thank

46. alert!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!DO NOT PUT JACK ON WOOD!!!!! . IT CAN SLIP . PLACE JACK ON GROUND CONCRETE!!! BE SAFE
