Date: 2020-07-06

Several months back, in October, HouseCallAutoRepair was on location in Belchertown Ma. with this 2000 Nissan Maxima for a "Typical Salt Belt Brake Job" https://youtu.be/bkjEK2KlUsI .  The owner was informed that there was a great deal of resistance fully retracting the caliper piston on the passenger side, and that is MIGHT become an issue.... 

 In THIS video Charlie gets to show you WHY. During the replacement of the failed caliper, you get to see the damage that caused the issue. along with an explanation as to how it occurred. And... as with almost any auto servicing in the "Salt Belt", It's NEVER that simple!

Auto repairs for the "Do-it-yourself" mechanic...  These are "HOW-TO" videos, that show viewers details of what is involved in a specific repair... some do's and don'ts, as well as a variety of tips to make the repair easier.  Warning: Some videos may contain material that qualifies as "other than normally accepted".

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
