Chris. I got here from your 2018-9 version of this same Job. WOW you can really SEE the improvement in not only your confidence, but SKILLZ as well!
You're a great Kid, Chris. I'm a Disabled Veteran and Retired Ford Driveability, Chassis and Engine Tech.
Today's SCREWED UP World needs more good People like you! I for one, am proud of what you've accomplished.
I'm just sitting here, marathon watching your Videos, quite melancholy.
We couldn't afford Thanksgiving. We can't even afford a stinking Tree or paper decorations. No Christmas either. No Presents for my Grandbabies. We're completely on our own. I made the mistake of swallowing my pride and asked YouTube Viewers for a little financial help.
I was promptly labelled as a SCAMMER.
We're Praying that 2021 is even a little better for us.
We wish you and your Family the most Joyous of Holiday Seasons, a very Merry Christmas and amazing New Year!

There are 3 places on rotor plate that should be greased with a dab of grease. Also grease on the very top on that metal circle. When I changed my brakes I noticed that the 9 inch rotors have a metal part that pushes into wheel cylinders(no metal plungers that look like clothespins) and also the emergency brake lever has a hook that fits on back of shoe near top(no metal bolt with C clamp. I changed my wheel cylinders also and had success on the rear right brake, but the brake line nut on rear left was rusted shut. I had to cut brake line with hacksaw. Then I made a new brake line, using old line as a template with a tube bender. Then I used one man bleed brakes technique. Now I have firm brake pedal! Thank you Chris for your GREAT videos!

I start a new job Monday after being unemployed for 3 months and my back tire seized from what my buddy assumes is a bad cylinder. Your video is extremely helpful and other than the springs I feel like I might be able to do this before I miss my new opportunity. Thanks for posting your knowledge!
