2023-10-08 15:39:28 +0000 UTCI learned in shop class that most likely would cause a blown out piston.....miracle no one died. Thanks for sharing.

2023-09-29 17:09:49 +0000 UTCIt would have been amusing to see how much rust actually came off that beast. I grew up in Milwaukee, so it's a bit like home in a very unhappy way.

2023-09-25 22:12:11 +0000 UTCI hate those locking lug nuts. I bought a whole set of sockets for them and still don't ever have the one I need.

2023-09-25 22:11:31 +0000 UTCThis makes me grateful that we have rigorous vehicle inspections in my country. Bloody terrifying to think that there's a shitheap like that sharing the same roads as you and your family. Thanks for sharing Wes!

2023-09-25 18:19:03 +0000 UTCMy daughter bought a 99 Dakota, no title, off of marketplace. She called me crying that she couldn't stop and nearly hit someone. I grabbed my tools and jack and went to look. The inside pad was gone and the metal shim fell out when I reached up there. The seller did not provide the 11 spline locking lug tool, so I had to use my 2 pounder and ruin a few sockets. One of the caliper pins broke off in the caliper bracket, so i had to buy a new one. All I hear is Derek at VGG "Help me understand".

2023-09-25 02:22:21 +0000 UTCWow, that's pretty wild! Luckily there's not much traffic in my area.

2023-09-25 02:20:30 +0000 UTCI strangely love brake jobs and always take my time on them. Glad to see you did this one right. I appreciated the needle scaler on the hub. I agree with you, it is unnerving that rigs like this are hurtling down the road. I'm a former automotive forensic engineer and investigated hundreds of passenger and commercial vehicle accidents over 5 years. I've seen just about every root cause but the most common culprits were brakes and tires (also the human brain, but that is a completely separate discussion).

2023-09-25 00:52:55 +0000 UTCI was waiting for the frame to buckle from all the hammering to get the rotor off. You were knocking a lot of rust off the parts before you even got them off the truck. Good job! That's one less death machine on the road.

Watch Wes Work
2023-09-24 23:32:41 +0000 UTCAnd all my years of driving regular cars have only been metal to metal once and the sound is ear piercing. I was 16 years old and had no clue. When I brought it in to get work done the mechanic probably had the same face that you made in this video.

2023-09-24 23:32:07 +0000 UTCWhat do they use on the roads in your area that makes vehicles rust so bad? I live in Idaho and drove a 76 Chevy 4x4 for 40 years and over 400,000 miles and it didn't look that bad.

2023-09-24 23:22:02 +0000 UTCSomeone needs to take his keys from him if he can't hear that grinding caliper !! In all my 40 years twisting wrenches, I've NEVER seen one like that one. Put that one in Ripleys museum... Great video Wes. You all have some industrial grade salt up north.

2023-09-24 21:41:51 +0000 UTCI worked on one of those a few years ago. Came in for something I dont remember and the mentioned there "might" be an issue with the rear brakes. Freaking outer pad was gone on both sides. Completely missing gone. Probably your guys brother.
