Welcome to Way of the Wrench, a channel that is dedicated to creating entertaining and educational videos about anything and everything cool in shop class. Metalwork projects, fixing/modifying vehicles, welding, arcade cabinets, medieval armor, pulse jet engines, miniature engines, go karts, and much more. My entire life has been spent learning new skills and now I would like to share my skills and experience with my viewers.
I love this stuff so much, I decided to go into the trades and become a red seal Tool and Die Maker (a Machinist that makes stuff that makes stuff like molds, punch presses, and machines). I am now a high school Technology Teacher and my job is to get people excited about working with their hands, making cool projects, and connecting theory to real life practical applications in cool and meaningful ways. When I am not making stuff, I teach Metalwork, Automotive, Welding, Drafting, Woodworking, Robotics, and Electronics. Wanna learn how to make/fix cool stuff?

Do you to lift all 4 wheels?
EXCELLENT video! Just happened to stumble upon this preparing to 'get under it'. Been a gearhead for 50+yrs now and you're NEVER too old to learn. Btw, you're a GREAT instructor. Simple, direct, to the point. SAFETY FIRST ALWAYS! REALLY enjoyed this...tks!
Thank you. Great video. The situation that is annoying though, is right when the bearing starts to go bad, so it sometimes makes such symptoms, but not all the time. When my right front bearing was going out, it made that growling noise ONLY when I was turning left in traffic circle at speeds. When I was traveling in the straight, it did not make that noise. Reacted to the 3-9 / 12-6 push-pull test. Movement was barely maybe 1-degree, but it moved. Spinning the wheel while up on jackstand? Again no growling. In any case, after that bearing change, no more growling noise when turning left in traffic circle. Fast forward 2 years later. Now I suspect the rear right bearing is starting to go. 1 time out of 10, when turning left in traffic circle, I hear the growling noise. Not reproducible every time. Just roughly once in 10 attempts. Does not react at all to the 3-9/12-6 push/pull test. Drives me nuts…
2014 Nissan Titan Pro 4x. Not much play or sound when off the ground. Lots of grinding and bumping over something at 10 miles an hour. Too loud and rough to go faster. It started with a very small sound in 40 miles to needing to be towed. Sound is reduced with acceleration mildly and when braking as long as not extreme with either. Could it be the cv joint?
Hard to tell through a message but it could be a CV axle. With the vehicle safely jacked up, grab the CV axle shaft and try turning it back and forth. Should be no play in the axle when turning/changing directions. Check all CV axles. Hope that helps.
This tutorial was amazing! Got it to work finally. Have you gotten an image to work if you are just on a menu? I would like to get a marquee image for the system I am currently looking through.
Awesome, glad it still works! No I haven't touched it since I released that video. If I wanted what you are saying, Bigbox on a PC is exactly what you want. Thanks for the watch!
Thank you very much brother. Last several days I was searching for solution for my pajero. Actually mechanic in the tire shop told me replace some parts of fwd suspention system, before alignment. Whatever you record while driving, I have the same. Now, I am pretty sure what I need to do, thanks to your video.
You're welcome! Glad I could help you out and you enjoyed my teaching style. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
great video
Glad you enjoyed it! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the Way of the Wrench!
I really like the way you explain things; right to the point and always reminding of the little details that are easily overlooked. At the end of this one, I feel like I had hours worth of instruction that was condensed down to only twenty minutes. Thanks.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my video and my teaching style! Actually you just got years of experience in 20 min....lol. if you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
For the brake bleed video, I use the Power Bleeder. Little product from Amazon that lets you bleed brakes by yourself.
You'll enjoy the video, I show how to do all of the methods but yeah my favorite method I'd pressure bleeding. I use a Speedibleed setup and it works great. Thanks for the good suggestion. Cheers.
Perfect timing for this video. I have a seized caliper on the front of my Avalanche. Brakes are intimidating but watching you do everything helps a lot. Great videos man. Love your channel
Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video! If you have a seized caliper, you're going to have to replace it and if the other caliper is the same age and looks rough, I would change both. You'll have to bleed your brakes after too and I have a great video on that coming soon too. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!
My car squeaks when I turn my wheel all the way to the right. Would it be wheel bearings? Changed tie rod ends and stabilizer link bars front and rear, bushings looked sliced open 😬 I’m going to try this rn!!!
It squeaks only when you hard turn right? Does it constantly squeak at full turns or only when you are turning the wheels ( at a stand still)? It's hard to diagnose properly through a message but it could be CV axle joint. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Yet another awesome video , really helpful, thanks Amil :-)
Glad you enjoyed the video, hope it was useful. Cheers, Emil.
Most vehicles I’ve had used different brakes (drums often) for the parking brake as compared to the rear service brakes. So, the parking brake test won’t tell you much with those vehicles.
Yeah some cars have internal parking drum brakes and rear disk brakes but not every vehicle. Another thing to think about is the front brakes do 90% of the braking so usually they are the ones that are warped. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
How did he know I wanted a root beer? I have a friend who just warped their rotors. Timing was impeccable
Perfect timing! Root beer and warped brake....how does he do it? Lol. Glad I was able to help you out. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Sure!
Sweet, thanks! I appreciate your support for the channel! Cheers!
This is so amazing and helped me get setup to change some German trailer drum brakes. Only problem I'm having is that the lower return spring gets installed on the inside of the shoes. Any idea how to get it on? I'm a bit desperate
Awesome, glad you liked the video! You can put the lower spring on from the back with it off and then put the shoes on to the back plate. Should be easy. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Great video! I see you added a subwoofer AND a bass transducer. How do you find this sounds/feels? Would you recommend both? I was considering doing both, if I did one I'd do the sub though. Thanks!
I love the audio and ssf sounds/feels on my cabinet. I would recommend using my exact set up. Remember the sub box is for base sounds coming from the music while the base shakers is the base sounds from the playfield. Thanks for the watch!
Muy buena explicación colombia
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

Fantastic video for me as my rocker panel lip is rusted out on the drivers side. Is there an alternate place to place the jack stands when you have a rusted rocker panel / jack point?
Thanks! You'd have to check the ALI lift guide or your owner's manual to see if there are other safe spots for your vehicle. Otherwise, the areas shown in the video are ok. Thanks for the watch!
This confirmed my suspicions of the noise Thought it was axles at first 😅 Thanks 🙏🏻
Happy to help you out! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Took me two hours to finally land on the right side of the internet for this information, thank you!
Well I'm glad you found the channel! I just wish I could get more exposure on UA-cam, it's so hard in a sea of other videos out there. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
GREAT INFORMATIVE Video THANKS
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Great video with excellent demonstrations. I agree with a previous poster, you shut off the music so one can actually hear the noises you describe. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah in retrospect, it would have been better to not have music there. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Never got into these until an hour ago with your valuable help. Almost a year later and you are sill schooling me.
You've been schooled!!! Lol. I'm happy to help ya out ! Thanks for the watch!
Can u have that werring sound with no play in the wheel?
Yes you can. It's just not worn out enough to have play yet. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
This video is worth watching.
Thanks, I poured my wisdom into this one for ya guys. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers!
I have a 2008 silverado 2wd. My sound is very mild but i can also feel it on my steering wheel. It also is constant but the more speed, the higher the whirling sound🤷♂️.any thoughts?
It sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me, check it for play. It could also be worn steering or suspension components too. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Thank you for making the best jacking video tutorial on UA-cam. Very detailed one. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words, I just wish this video could be seen in the sea of UA-cam videos out there. Maybe you could help me and share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Thank you. Great complete and clear explanation and demonstrations. You dont blab about unrelated things, which keeps the videos shorter and more time to fix cars.
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video and my teaching style! Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!
Thank you for this video! I will watch this later and hope it's the key to fixing my set up 🤞. I have everything working accept for the stranger things table, which used to work before the 64 bit update.
You're very welcome, hope it helps you out. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
You forgot to mention for a car that has I dependent rear suspension there will no beam running between the rear wheels, which my Ford Taurus had!!!😮
If it has a differential or a caged in one, you might be able to jack up off it but check your manual as some newer differentials are designed light weight and cannot be lifted from. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
So being a woman and I know how to do a little bit of stuff. But your instruction and direction gives me the confidence to delegate and direct my husband to do it😂😂 Thanx so much !!! Oh and I've subscribed. (I really do some of my own auto work)🙂
Awesome, thanks for your kind words and the sub! If you like my teaching style, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
It's a shame that drum brakes aren't more common. If you like to keep your wheels clean and shiny, drums make it easy. Also they are themselves much cleaner and drier than calipers and discs. That said, I haven't seen a set of front drums in ages, only rears. Maybe they get really gross.
Yeah they grab really well but suffer from brake fade on long descents and come out of adjustment from left to right on the front which causes wicked pulls to the side.....ask me how I know. Lol. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Cheers!
@@wayofthewrench I’ve heard of fade being an issue but not uneven grip. That sounds like a great way to roll a car or truck. I guess I’d rather have the brake dust problem!
It's rare but can happen. Cheers!
WELL DONE Bro, I thought I was in heaven while in auto shop, still drive a '64 Merc with 4 wheel manual drum brakes, redid ENTIRE brake system with a new DUAL master, copper nickle lines
Thanks Bruh! Yeah me too, I took every tech ed course I could in high school.....some even double blocks. I have a 67 parisienne and a 68 firebird personally and on the firebird I did the front power disk brake conversion.....best money ever spent. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
So I had a guy tell me the rear bearings in my wife's rogue 2019 front wheel drive are bad, when I took it in for rear brakes. The pads were gone, and it was grinding. He says he turned the rotors, but the same sound is still being heard, after he changed the brakes. Thing is, you can hear this sound, immediately, not speed dependent. And it definitely sounds like grinding. If he turned the rotors, shouldn't the sound be gone because its smooth now? It doesn't get louder as you go faster, it feels harder though, hard to describe.
Hard to tell from a message but it sounds like you either have really bad bearings or something is not right with your brakes. I would jack it up and check yourself. I have another great video on how to check your disk brakes . Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Good explanation on the correct placement of the star wheel adjuster.
Yeah it's all the little things that screw people up and what makes an experienced tradesperson worth their weight in gold. Glad you enjoyed the video. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
@@wayofthewrench one other thing I ran into was my drum would not fit over the new brake shoes. My first thought was I got the wrong shoes but that was not it. What I ended up doing was to open the brake fluid valve to allow air in and less pressure. This allowed me to pull the shoes together and the drum fit. Of course then the dreaded bleeding. All ended up well.
Perfect, glad you got it figured out.

Does both wheels have to be off the ground to check one side or does the side your checking only need to be off the ground ?
You should be able to check for play with just one wheel off of the ground. Just make sure it's safe to do so. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Hi, please could you tell me why it wasn’t necessary to bleed the clutch system on this one after replacement. Or is it because the slave cylinder was outside the bell housing? Thanks.
It wasn't needed because the slave cylinder was unbolted but the hydraulic system was not touched/opened. It does state to replace the slave cylinder during the clutch replacement but it is an easy enough part to change after if it's needed. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Concise and clear. Thank you.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
I've been wrenching for almost 40 years as a hobby, but got some good ideas here: turning the axle nut backwards to hammer (instead of using soft-face hammer), the blocking of the flywheel using the pin (instead of making a device), and the closed end wrench as lever extension on the ratchet (instead of getting out the breaker bar). Interesting...

While candle wax will work some penetrating oils (seafoam deep creep comes to mind) do very well with heat and suck in a lot easier. I was doing the brakes on my 07 mustang and the slide pins were frozen in and mapp gas and seafoam got them moving. Still needed new ones of course but wax didn't even give a hint of going in. Saved me from having to buy a new caliper bracket.
Yeah it's about the same, just be careful not to start a fire spraying penetrating oils. Sometimes just the heat is all you need, the lube just prevents galling on the way out. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
These brakes clearly didn't slow you down😅
Bazinga! Nope, I ate them for brakefast.
Perfect! That’s exactly what I needed.
Awesome, happy to help! Thanks for the watch!
The last time I had a car with drum brakes was my 1989 Chevrolet Beretta GTU. I sold that car back in 1997 and I guarantee you that car is long rusted out and compacted into a cube.
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. My Dad had one of those and I learned how to change my first oil change on that. You'd be surprised how you'll still need to work on drum brakes. All kinds of vehicles still use them including trailers. Thanks for the watch!
How to tell the difference between primary brake shoes and the secondary. Is there another way to check the clearance if we don’t have a caliper?
I have a longer diy drum brake video which is way more detailed, you should check it out. As for setting clearance on the drum, you can tell by the friction it takes to slide on the drum. It should just slide on so set it till it won't go on and then adjust about 1mm smaller once it just starts to go on but tight. It is easier with a drum caliper though. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
4:50 thats a very good hint 🎉
Yeah, that and much more is in the longer drum brake video. Lots of awesome tips and tricks. Thanks for the watch!
Took me nearly 3hours do this the 1st (and only) time ive done it...wish i had this vid then..will be a great help when i do the job again...im keeping a 2000 nissan micra on the go....great vid..thanks...
Yeah in the beginning it takes a while and it's a good idea to have someone who knows how to do it too. I have a longer more detailed instructional drum brake video you should check out too. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

This was the type of content I want to see on UA-cam.
Then you've found your new favorite channel ! Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
Went to do the brakes on daughters car, to my dismay they were DRUM!😢 Found a different video, either way, they suck, especially without the fancy tools. If you dont have one, would love to see a Drum to Disc conversion in a future vid. Between pincab and mechanic stuff great channel.
You watched my longer drum video? It would have earned you several points of Dad skillz.....probably enough to level up. You can do these without special tools but it is easier with them. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
