What they say

Hide

know, what do you guys do? All right, for [snorts] this I actually do have a brake tool for it that that I went out and got a while ago. I have all my stuff over on the other side. Just personal stuff. So, but yeah, you ratchet it and it spreads the brake pad apart. I'll get you guys zoomed in on that when I start doing that process. But I got one of these. So, a little more light in here. All right. pry off the brake pad, not cook ourselves cuz Alex just rolled in with this thing. You can see that there's still some life to them, but not much. New rotors on the rear end here, buddy. But let's go till I pull the boot off. It's actually not too bad for grease. Lube it up a little more [sighs and gasps] with some fresh grease. And I forgot to grab a paper towel. Yay. Always have your paper towels handy. Zach's actually not a bad mechanic. I've got some guys that tell me they're mechanical and when they pick up a set of tools, I just cringe. I know they're not mechanical. In their mind, they are. >> They may know how to, you know, use which end of a wrench, but that doesn't mean you're mechanically inclined. Zach, on the other hand, yeah, he's not too bad at some things. You got to give it to them. It's being a mechanic is one of those things you either know or you think you know, but you can always tell the difference between the two. Oops. Forget the most important part. Go underneath the hood and pop and pull the thing off so air can bleed out. >> Zach's not that old, but every time he gets up, he gets up like an old man. No having to do with C clamps. Well, everyone has their own thing, but [music] this boot off. That one again ain't too bad. All right,
