AKA Can-stop, will-stop; even when ON FIRE.

uh...no you dont. your PROBABLY not a pit crew.... so your working on your own, or customers cars..... in which case you just park it till they cool down.
then for disks, you pull off the tire, pull the 2 bolts that hold the caliper on the rotter, use a tool to push the piston in, unclip and remove pads, install new pads, put the 2 bolts back in and pump the brakes. done.
drums involve removing 2 to 3 springs first, but you dont need a special tool to do the piston, as their is no piston.
you sure you have done this before?

well.... if you dont let the car sit for a 20 mins first before working on it..... and your certified? wow. jiffy lube tech? or GM/ford shop tech?
also.... where would you be with out your service manuals.... ive figured everything out with out them. and if i cant, a trip to the library and mr chiltons usually can answer my question.
oh... PS.... just a little PS. we have done actual jobs as well.... we put rail road wheels on a BNFS truck, a snow plow on a city truck, the guy who owns the shop owns a oil field water hauling/semi trailer company, and we have to keep everything running.
but...ya, i would say i know more.... because with out your service manual.... your ****** .
quick.... whats the firing order on a gen 1 small block? no google.... be honest....

ford doesnt have a small block (technically.... they all are just...blocks to ford, but people do use sbf/bbf. so....) chevy.
but what happens on a project like that BNSF truck i mentioned..... their is no book for that, and the set of wheels we were given wernt the right size, but we had to make them work. a few hours with the cutting torch and welder later.... it worked.
we then had to build a section of track to align the wheels..... the track had to be 100% straight as an arrow, even when the truck was ontop of it.
lot of beard rubbing that day.
anyway.... ya, i jumped on your ass a little bit, because i thought you were the type of person who just says **** because they tightened a bolt once, but then drives their car with the low oil psi light on for 50 miles.
if you really are a tech.... hell ya man. then we do basically do the same **** .
but, ive never used force on disk brakes. drums ya.... beating the drum off the hub can be a bitch sometimes. but in general.... force is a no-no cuz ya just end up breaking more **** . my dads the force, im the brains.
however, i did mess up some threads on my crank shaft on my motorcycle that i rebuilt by beating off a bearing with a hammer......

mechanicexplain (06/10/2015) [-] Workable repairs can be figured out by almost anyone. More precise work needs specs for parts, material quality, and clearances. Electrical requires diagrams and diagnostic procedures.
And I wasn't saying that you had to beat on anything, though some rotors and drums need to be hammered off due to rust build-up. I said manhandling. The concern with brakes on a car that stops in fresh off the highway for some kind of quick brake work is mostly just wrestling the calipers off of stubborn pads. Big, burning hot calipers are not your friend.

ya... was removing my tire and bumped the rotor after a 50 mile trip to basically use my tire to get his car to town, to run back up and fix my car.... not my idea. why not just have me pick up the spare in town?
anyway.... ya, ***** hot. same with spark plugs. doing color ring mixture tests on my 2 stroke, no gloves, burn my self, plug falls in the dirt, trying to scoop it up with my socket.... its a good time.

kouzan (06/09/2015) [-] What he means is carbon ceramic can take a lot of heat, but it doesn't disperse the heat so sometimes it's on fire. This means it is in excess of several hundred degrees to be set on fire. The best way to check the brakes after it's been tortured like this is off the car, but they usually just replace the whole thing.
