    Chris: first off, thank you so much for your videos. They've allowed me to do more work on my car than I thought possible, and helped me realize just how much can be done on my car by myself. It's becoming a hobby of mine to keep it in shape and clean (2003 Chevy Malibu with almost 278k miles.)
    Second: I just fixed some brake noise that I can remember if it was covered in this video or not: my brake hardware needed a little bending to be clear of the rotors (it was rubbing against the brake pad hardware which mounts in the caliper bracket.) Bonus points: I fought with a pair of sticky caliper pins for a half hour and now they function properly, and my steering wheel doesn't shake when I go over 50mph.
    Keep up the awesome videos! You've got +1 story now to encourage you to keep going. :)

    I really needed this video for my car, i've taken it to literally 4 worshops but none of them were able to figure out why the brakes were squeaking, specially since i'd just gotten the front brake pads changed and the whole car serviced. Thankyou so much, this video's given me things to get checked more properly.

    I wanted to add this in case others had a similar issue. For me what stopped the noise was the brake hardware where the pads rest was rubbing against the rotor and caliper. So I bent one of the metal bends closest to the rotor further in and that solved my issue.

      +Shane Blandford-Scherr I've changed probably 3 or 4 like that. In one case the guy was trying to save money. He pushed it, and pushed it. Eventually, the rotor wore down as you see it, and the backing plate wore down so much it was able to exit the caliper bracket through the gap between it and the rotor. The caliper piston then contacted the exposed cooling vanes of the rotor. The piston got so hot and mangled from that, it melted the dust boot and square cut seal. He tried to save money on a simple pad and rotor brake job, and ended up paying for pads, rotors, 2 front calipers, and a brake fluid exchange. Some people's kids man...

    Really terrific teaching video! Things you show here are memorable -- even years after first viewing. Example: You vividly demonstrate what a warped rotor's irregular contact with pads will both look and sound like! (not so much a "squeak" -- as an rhythmic rubbing sound) Have this exact problem now with an older Saturn -- and your video here is the only one I ever saw that both explained and demonstrated just what the problem is. Thank you Chris.

      The guide pins will rust and the rust will weld them tight to the caliper aka they are seized and very difficult to remove and will most likely need serious force and or a penetrating lubricant to remove them.
