giggling is always good. that video is a little on the low side for audio. i watched your brake job videos. remember anti seize is not a lubricantand you should never gerbil jam your caliper pistons into your caliper without opening the bleeder first. u can really damage ABS check valves by forcing the fluid back though them.
i do this sh*t everyday my friend. open a shop manual with abs and read why you should never push fluid back past one way check valves. also why would you wanna push all that old heated burnt dirty fluid back into your master cylinder ? anti seize will work but its not a lubricant it says that right on the bottle also. i think they mean its ok for bolts but not sliders.
Well we both have our own way of doing things. Been doing it this way for 10 years with no problems other than rusty Michigan bolts.
Never worried about it untill the very first ABS I did I F.U.B.A.R ed, then I learned about abs. Since then all car calipers get the bleeder opened before pushing piston back.
BTW, I'm old enough that several of my first cars had front drum brakes ,![]()
Worked as a GM line tech for many years and NEVER opened a bleader to do the brakes on a ABS systems , opening the bleader just gives opertunity to get air in the system and cause problems, hummmm
you wouldnt happen to hav a chiltons or any repair manuel that states this would you, cause i would luv to see it in righting, and Ive done thousands of set of brakes, never once had a problem and do you really think the burnt fluid is making it all the way back into the master cly lol ok, what was it that u did so bad to m ess the first brake job up. possably it was somethiing else you did wrong and thats what made you so nervious about pushing the calipar back in, and when u let off the brake pedal what do you think the brake fluid does, humm maybe go backwards, might not be as much as when u compress the cly back but the fluid goes in and out with the motion of the pedal

Opps, I'm Sofa King We Todd Did. Should be more clearer/precise, apply slight pressure to piston, crack bleeder while applying pressure and close it just before bottoming out piston. Course if you don't know how to work rusty-crusty brake bleeders here in Michigan, I'm glad I can do my own and not take it to a know-nothing know-it-all. Wasn't this thread about an oil change?????????????????????????????
