carb cleaner on your fingers. oh no! in california you would have deformed babies.
@NSTASY ebay is one of the best…
what is a great site to buy auto parts for cheap?
GO to expercaradvice com we have a dealership mechanic standing by ready to help 24/7 365 days a year dont wait anybody you refer I will personally give 5 bucks to. Thanks
m ohms? (milli)? i think that would be considered out of speck? milli ohms?
whats the likely hood that the electronics in the houseing of the maf go bad great vid brother
once you have broken it with “carb cleaner” you wana let it air dry and then put back in and it……………………… will run even worse!!!
Before everyone starts a freak out wave. Using (NON-chlorinated) Brake Clean is fine to clean MAF’s with in fact it is the SAME thing as MAF cleaner! But, do NOT use choke cleaner as it attacks the plastic!
@cullen9017 Brake cleaner is the same thing as MAF cleaner! Just don’t use choke cleaner because it attacks the plastic! 28 Year Master Technician
@majumder911 All you need to do is clean the MAF sensor like this guy except use a cleaner that says “MAF CLEANER” not carb cleaner or anything else. If your car stalls at a stop sign and your RPM wierd, tell your mechanic (or do it yourself) to clean out the throttle body and the IAC sensor. There’s also cleaners that are made specifically for the throttle body and the IAC sensor made by the brand “CRC”. People think they need to replace these parts, but really you don’t just clean them.
Suzuki Aerio 2003 SX 2.0L. It has the symptom of stalling, sometimes shat down the engine on me and hesitates to move after the worms up. I showed it to the mechanic and he said it’s the MAF sensor problem, a new sensor would be very expensive from the dealer, so can some tell me if there is any aftermarket part available out there for cheap or repair this part anyhow.
Please kindly HELP me out.
Thank you.

HOW STUPID , YOU DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER ON THESE , IT WILL DESTROY THEM , THERE IS A CLEANER THAT IS SAFE FOR USE ON THEM , IT’S CALLED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CLEANER , AND IT’S LOCATED LIKE 2 TO 3 FEET FROM WHERE YOU PICKED UP THAT CARB CRAP !!
@scrimmo Agreed. Won’t hurt the hot wire, but all the goodies inside the housing…..yeah, not good for it at all. MAF cleaner only!
I must echo previous comments so that no one makes this mistake: do NOT use carb cleaner. Use an electronic component cleaning spray or something made specifically for a MAF sensor. Note that he also said the acceptable range of resistance for this particular sensor was in “milli-ohms” — this shows that he doesn’t know what “ohms” actually are; they are measured in multiples of 10, not fractions of 10. Hopefully, he actually had his multimeter on the correct setting…
@norabudgie ever hear the expression “Plumbers toilet”? same deal with a mechanics car. lmao
@norabudgie ever hear the expression, “plumbers toilet”? same deal with mechanics cars. lmao
would break cleaner work
your description of the electrical issues is a little off. Nothing ever requires “more voltage” to maintain a voltage level. V = IxR I suspect the R changes change the current “I” value which is detected by some electronic circuit.
Not that big a deal, just need to work on your description a little.
@scrimmo thats hot
Thanks for the education!
That is one dirty battery.
That is one dirty battery.
good info
nook n cranny dayton
whys ur battery so dirty ????????????????
lol on all the comments that are saying “dont put carb cleaner..” next u are going to say “DONT PUT ACETONE in ur car because it will damage ur car… WHEN MOST IF NOT ALL FUEL INJECTORS have acetone on em… please use our product.. others will damage it for sure..
i used carb cleaner because my car got the check engine and my bro in law said it was the maf sensor so i cleaned it with carb cleaner d/c the batt for over a minute and bamn rough idle gone and check engine gone.. IDIOTS!
@joshuaizzle if you can see in 1:33 they fast fowarded it.. you can see the other one installed
Do you Americans not have anti-rattle pins?
This is an extremely poor example of doing a brake reline! If all you care about is cost, then go ahead and follow this garbage. If you care about doing it properly, being able to spot potential problems, and want your new pads to last more than a month, get a $25 repair manual from an auto parts store and read it first. There is so much more to doing a proper brake reline than this video shows.
Is there anything that needs to be lubes while you are replacing them?
hell of a lot easier than my Hayes manual
@joshuaizzle he installed 2 they just dont show him doing it. pause at 1:34 and youll see both of them in.
@VacancyJB
@Paedobaptism
You are both wrong. The end of the video shows both brake pads are BLACK. It’s called a fastcut. You simply repeat replacing the brake pad on the other side. Use your eyeballs.
And the dealership wanted to charge me $259 just to do this on the front brakes alone… LOL!!!!!!!
@omfgmerry get a pipe or some long cylinder thing to put around the socket wrench so you get a lot of torque
Great quick video on an important how-to demonstration. So fast he put in one new brake pads instead of two.
@omfgmerry drill em out
i cant get the bolts out what do i do !?
thanks Tom, car’s good to go now!
@VacancyJB I noticed that too. LoL imagine what could happen if someone follow exactly what he did. Would not be good.
1:30 i tot he only put one side of the brake pads….lol.
It sucks, i had a chainlock but was too small to try, got a bigger one since i do not have an autoparts around. But the experience of taking it out and putting it back makes me happier ’cause I know it is not an enigma to cry it loud. They charge 30 dollars per side around here
i love it! I can do this on my own…………every male I asked made it sound complicated……needed an overpriced proffesional…………yaw……I don’t have that kinda money…but I do have the tools, ha!….got quotes…….bought the parts…….then, I found you…….thanks! You will so be highly recommended!
No.. all you need is enough to hold the pads against the calipers piston not
too much glue…when next time you change them they should come off easy.
@dammitcrap
Lubricating the bolts is very important because you want the bolts to slid
back and forth easily…”not to be dry”.and yes the caliper bolts.
Any high temperature caliper lube will do just fine.
Are you an installer?
No so correct…..you need lubrication on the bolts and glue on the back of the pads..
Wow great video, did my girlfriends brake pads and Looked like a pro while doing it!! Thanks!
thank you. help me a lot and save me 120 dollars to change by myself the barke of my nissan pathfinder. I did in less than 1/2 a hour
i do mechanics in college and its easy as hell its really not hard.
and also respect to this video though. was expecting expert village to make like 5 parts to this clip, part 1 unscrewing 2 screws etc…
fantastic!!
wow, he made that look way too easy
should have showed in the vid to put grease on the bracket where the pads slide,grease the sliders and said make sure the pads move freely in the bracket
