Hello everybody! Good day to you guys and welcome back! Glad you guys are here! This is a Kia Sorrento I believe it's of the 2011 flavor. Uh, it is a northern car. It's got a lot of rust on it. It's from I think New Jersey and uh customer States grinding noise.

uh from rear of vehicle. So uh I think I might know what's going on with it. It's got a bunch of rust. Uh, let us go ahead restocking the engine.

We're gonna take this thing out on the road real quick for a quickie test drive. We're gonna see if we cannot hear the noise that they had complained about. We'll get it in, we'll get it up into the shop and then we're gonna check uh to see what's making all the grinding noise out back. Uh, it's either a failed part or it's a bunch of rust.

so that's that's my uh, my parking lot diagnosis. but uh, we don't like to do things off of parking lot diagnosis is so we're gonna go out and confirm that real quick like and then uh, we'll get to work. So stay tuned because this is going to be a very good video opening. Z Hood Oh look who that guy is.

All right, we're rolling I'm out on the road and I definitely hear like a rhythmic helicopter grinding noise from uh from Outback especially I Mean it doesn't sound too great down below but uh, left side I hear like a grumbly and then the right side I hear some more. So let's go. Uh, we'll make our normal test drive. We'll go up and over the bridge, get a little bit of speed built up, see if that, uh, the pitch of the grinding noise behind me changes and then we'll swing back around, get it into the shop.

the uh, two of my lips are full right now, so we're probably gonna back this into the big truck rack and then uh uh, we'll get started on her. We'll pull the back wheels off. We'll pull the front wheels off too. but it definitely needs the underneath, the carriage inspection.

and uh, we'll check it for damages, grinding, missing parts, things of that nature. And that truck is stuck in the ditch. What's he doing over there? See that? it's a Florida day? You never know when a random truck's just sitting in a ditch. Hello shop.

parking lot's full looking good I Like it. Oh yeah, that sound back there is getting plenty loud I Think we're good. We're making our left at our uh, our red light here. back to the shop we go.

let's get this thing up in the air, picking up a little bit of speed. one more time, that noise back there is getting louder. Yeah, it's got a it's got a huge grumbly grinding sound. Okay life units say hi to the fans.

Hi bye she's out. She's directing a tow truck. We got a big old International tow truck back there dropping off some goodies I Got some blown up engines coming in Anyway, let's get this thing. uh nudged around our Mustang that's the one Mustang We did all the other work on them.

finally got a seat belt that showed up for it. So that's a little side quest project. Anyway, rounding the door of Death, passing the Mustang without incident, let's go ahead and get this thing centered up on our lift. right here.

We'll get her up in the air. left, turn, right, turn There we go. Our dangly angles get a little weird lift arm or lift post right here at the driver. That's a good center of gravity.

good. Let's check that swing's gonna clear. that one's gonna clear. this is our spot.

Universe Parking Seattle Firing down all right. So like I said, we heard the noise out here in the back. We're approaching with Impact Gun cam. That's good there buddy.

A little too high. bring it down some not hearing it while uh, while we're rolling, set on the locks. you're good and I'm not hearing it back here. Got some new brakes? yeah? Allen's uh, that's a new caliper over there.

Yeah, let's get these things pulled apart real quick to see what uh, what treasure is lie beneath unclickage Impact Gun can go. Oh, that's not even tight. That was weird. See that that one wasn't tight either.

That's uh, two of those. Not tight. That raises concern for my safety because I just drove this car over a bridge. You got this one there, buddy.

Thank you sir. Hey, are those Wheels tired on that side? stuck? Yeah, they're not very tight. It's hammer time. Don't worry safe there we go.

Give me your wheel. Okay, so we have what appears to be some newish maybe looking breaks. Yeah, these have been off before. It's got little swirl marks here from disassembly or cleaning up or something like that.

Yeah, these aren't horrible back here. But I think we've got a bearing problem. Yeah, we've definitely got some crosstimatic action going here with all that rust. Yeah, like I said, this is a northern flavored vehicle.

Lots of, uh, lots of surface corrosion and oxidation. So I'm not. Uh, I'm not hearing a grinding. so I don't think that we're rubbing on this backing plate or whatever's left of it.

Let's go ahead and pull this caliper off. It's like a 14 mil. Let's pull the caliper apart and we're gonna check that bearing real quick. All right, we're gonna pull this caliper off first.

right here. We just need to get a hold of these two. uh, 14 mil bolts. I Think they're 14s? that's what I grabbed so they better be 14s on.

Click. Wow, that wasn't very tight either. Okay, there's our top one and the bottom one you guys can't see, but it's down here. Let's get that bottom one disconnected.

That one's tight. Okay, well, at least one of the bracket bolts was tight. here. That's cool.

Anyways, pull this off. That's going to allow me to pull the rotor off and then once the rotor's off, we can take a peek at the bearing. And uh. additionally, there's some parking brake shoes and a backing plate back here to look at.

Let's take a look at that stuff too. If I can get this Vault out. Taking forever? There we go. There's one that's our caliper.

a little bottom caliper bolt. here. Let's speed this up and getting bored with ratcheting a wrench second ball and then pull the caliper and its bracket and the pads off. hook into it with our little Hook guy here.

Hang that guy right there. That way, the hose on the caliper is knocked off, taking the weight of the caliper. that's a little stuck. Now it's less stuck and that's not right.

Seem to be missing some components here. Look at that. There is supposed to be a backing plate here. It was also supposed to be some parking brake shoes that engage the inner diameter of this rotor.

It's like a drum and rotor. The drum section of it is the parking brake or E-brake I Don't think they should be called emergency brakes because nobody hits that little lever during an emergency. It's a parking brake. It's for parking.

Furthermore, there's not enough friction material here to actually provide a relative stopping for us for a vehicle. So I think we should stop collectively as an automotive. Community should stop calling those emergency brakes or E-brakes because they're not. It's a parking brake.

That's all that it does anyway. that will in my soapbox. and uh, if we look here, this is a well. you guys can't see it.

You can't feel it. You probably can't hear it because I won't stop talking. but this bearing feels pretty cross-tomatic It's very gritty and and gross. Um, here's my problem here: I don't exactly like the idea of letting this fly.

Um, there's parts missing and we have a noise complaint. and clearly this is part of the noise complaint. So I think that if I'm gonna do any work on this I we're going to put the bearings on it I'll check that other side too. but I think we have to do at least this one bearing.

This seems to be the loudest and I'd like to get a new backing plate with uh with some Brake Hardware I think that kind of stuff is still available? Um, let's go check the other side when Troy's done taking it apart and then we'll We'll see what I can do for some parts and then we'll go from there. How's it? How's this side looking? It's pretty loud. That's uh, worse than my other side. That's horrible here.

We'll get some light on the subject. Yeah, there's even less backing plate left over on this side. Super cross-o-matic There's not much there for for metal um, again, no hardware and this bearing also feeling prostomatic? That's not good. So my recommendation here is going to be replace both rear wheel bearings both hubs and uh, we'll get a new backing plate with some brake hardware and kind of go from there.

Let me go see what's available and then, uh, we'll keep going a few moments later. All right. look. I'm gonna go ahead and say it.

this is actually going very well. Um, the way that I I think that or the reason that I think that is unbelievably my parts house happens to have two complete backing plates as a kit for this particular Kia and it's up in Tampa So I will probably have that this afternoon. Which means I can go ahead and take this apart I Found the part called my customer. They kind of didn't want to do this at first because I I understand that they had deleted this due to noise.

uh before driving down here to Florida and the noise is still here or it was very prevalent while they were driving and uh, that's why it's here. So I'm gonna fix it the right way. I I Gave him kind of a break because I know they spent some money already just just to try to get this noise to stop. Um, so we're kind of doing this like a halfway pro bono kind of thing just to make sure it's the right way.

Because like I said, they just they sort of wanted to just do the bearings because we know that the backing plates are not exactly making noise because there's nothing there. but I'm not particularly comfortable doing brake work and omitting parts for the brake system. loud noises? Let's get rid of that. And so I I Kind of insisted, uh that we replace the backing plates, especially since they're available.

Come here washer. So we're gonna do the backing plates. We're gonna do the bearings I'm on this side Troy is still over there on the other side and since we got the uh, the green light and everything is going so swimmingly, we're just gonna get this done. Knocked out right now.

One shot. good to go. Okay, so that came loose. This is also good.

Let's uh, let's get around to our bolts on the back side. This is going to be fun. We're gonna need some lubricants. Definitely going to need some Rust penetrator.

Let's see. here there we go. some good stuff. Begin lubricating.

now. it's foamy so you know it's good. There we go. Why not? All right? So we got the Snap On long handled flexi ratchet.

We're gonna reach around and try to get a hold of these Fasteners They're sort of set in a little bit on the back side of this uh, this knuckle slash bracket. what's up? So I'm out of the way unclick. Give that a tug. oh that's cool.

look at that spinning right out. Oh, this is going really well I probably I'm good at jinx it I'm gonna keep talking about how good this is going and we'll see how uh, how quickly I can jinx this operation? those are going to be harder to get to I think I need an extension swivel socket all right now. Let's go around to our back side over here and get to those two finalized recessed recessed bolts in the back there. Just squeeze this guy right in here.

That's why I bought these things because they're super versatile in these types of situations. Versatile versatiles on. click. there's that one coming right out.

Oh yeah, this is Grand I'm so excited I just can't hide. All right, that's two. Give it back. Got it all right? I can probably reach those other two from here also.

so we're just gonna hang out underneath this Kia for a while and that top one. We'll go in past the spring here and get a hold of that guy. Hey, Troy how's your side coming? Get that Fastener out and then this one. Okay, that's all all four bolts removed.

So now we need to transition to linear impact drivers and we'll go ahead and get that uh, that hub bearing knocked off. The cool thing about this stacking plate is since there's no parking brakes on it I don't have to disconnect any linkage so there's a bonus. oh don't make that sound. What do you mean? uh, pound of you breaking stuff.

Oh no, what is it? You see this linkage? That's what I've been fighting? Yes, oh that. um because that connects to what we're taking off I See, git? uh. go and get go. get some of those um uh my.

Snap-on needle noses. the real aggressive tip ones. Yeah. and then get a hold of that clip right there and walk that clip clip out.

like grab it and start to wiggle it and then pull it up. Okay, I'll show you if you can't get it. Oh yeah. Speaking of showing Troy things, uh, yesterday or earlier.

it might have been yesterday. it could be the day before, but earlier. uh Troy was uh, struggling with us like a stuck broken off bolt. Afraid to hit something broken here? Hang on.

let me show you intermission about that. Yeah, okay. switch me. hold this.

Okay, you hold this. let me hold the hammer. Oh yeah, that's in there like a lot. smoking loud noises there.

got it and he was messing with it for a while and I came up and I extracted the bolt for him and you guys were kind of going re on me because you all said I should have let him. uh, kind of figure it out for himself rather than just taking over and doing it for him. But see a lot of us are visual learners and I kind of had to show him the tactics I think I know that that's how I learn and if someone can show me to do something I'm able to emulate what they did and then and then recreate it. So some people were kind of giving me some re saying that I I I did not help him by doing it for him, but at the same time I also assessed that he did not have the experience level to achieve that bolt extraction, but now he got to see how it's done.

so maybe next time he'll be able to do it anyway. that came off perfectly. Kind of nasty, but it'll clean up very well. There's no structural damage here, that's cool.

So we got our bearing off and yeah, that uh, that thing's pretty, uh, pretty cross-o-matic here, she junk. So anyway I guess what I'm saying is yes I can appreciate everyone's concern uh regarding uh, me running over Troy's project and extracting the Vault for him. but I also assessed in the moment that he wasn't able to do it himself because he had never never seen that type of extraction before. So I I hope I helped him out.

uh believe me, if there is a next time on that situation he can do it himself because I now know that he knows how to do it and uh, it shouldn't be a huge deal. So I I did what I felt was uh, was right at the time and uh I guess you know next time I'll be able to reevaluate. But as for now I need this. This is what I need I need to this wheel.

The rust off of that surface. more more line Okie dokes Loud noises coming in with our ziz wheel. Good polish this thrust off of this mating surface here. Foreign I believe that is sufficiently declustified.

We're good to go here now. I'm just kind of waiting on some parts to show up I need to blow that out. more Loud noises. Yay! We have some parts delivery so we've got some, uh, some backing plates these guys are going to go back on.

How's your side looking dude looking pretty clean, nice and shiny. Good to blow all that out in there? Yes sir. Awesome! Yep Bolts are on. we're good.

Um, it may be hoove you to connect this cable to the Little Hook right there before bolting that up. Okay, it might be easier because if you have it bolted up and then you try to put the cable, you got to pull it and then turn it, then hook it in. Yeah, since this is just dangling all willy-nilly like, look just kind of just hook it in there and then you can kind of give it a tug and get it over the bracket and then put your clip in and then just kind of Bolt it on. Okay, that's what I'm gonna do.

Okay, yeah, the whole car is easy. Let's uh, power up our illumination devices here and we'll get back at it. Is that one on negative Oakley dokely So following my only or my own, only my only own device advice. Whatever, you know, you know what I'm talking about Following my own device advice: can't talk.

we're gonna put this on first that clipped in. that's good. Here's our little retainer clip: I can save this for later if I want. but T Hammer has a hammer.

since everything's a hammer there, we go. Socket hammer for the wind. So now you see to slide that over our axle shaft, get it lined up like so and we can uh fetch the bearings. the bearings are already here but I did not.

Uh, they got here first but I did not bother pulling those guys out until my backing Plate's got here. it's so we'll take our bearing assembly, slide that over the axle over our little uh, little lip there on the backing plate. Now we can go around back to the back side, get the bolts in and I tell you I kind of needed this job to do this. This is absolutely fantastical.

Definitely. uh, makes for a good day so we're not exactly aligned properly just yet I need to kind of Wiggle this guy around some so the bolt holes line up I Can see them in there. Let's get one started. push it all the way through, start threading I can see you.

Okay, that one's threaded. it's good. Vault Numero Dos coming in looks like we're going up high with this one rotating the backing plate, getting the bolts lined up. put some spinning action on that.

Okay, started to thread in what we want. thread the bottom on a little bit more. We'll come back and torque them in a second. Okay, that one started next Gravity No worries I got another one.

Quick reload. There we go. That I dropped. oh it's in my chair tray got her number four coming in up and over the top and I'll tighten this one when it bottoms out.

Okay kids, torqueage release, it's not released. Oh that's uh. I got stuck. What have I done? I'll turn it the other way.

try some backwards. There we go. Come on. Oh no, it's the hook.

It shouldn't be stuck, but it is there. I Had to finesse it. Just a little bit of finesse. I Hear a C-130 Hercules flying overhead the Coast Guard You guys hear that.

You hear that C-130 flying. It sounds like a helicopter. Uh, now that's a Hercules sir that's coasties. The helicopters are more like and the seat you are uncultured.

Don't worry. I'll I'll work on you. You're still a youngin though. you can.

You can still be uncultured. I'm gonna take you to Las Vegas Oh yeah, that'll culture you up real quick. He's not 21 yet I Can't take him to Las Vegas I would never I would never take somebody's child to Las Vegas Well I mean like the city is probably fine, but there's parts of Las Vegas you just don't. You don't bring your kids there.

There's uh, there's places on unless in Las Vegas that are. It's kind of like Mad Max but with nicer clothes. well maybe not like all the way like Mad Max I'm thinking more like like Thunderdome or barter Town That's it. It's like a it's like barter town.

You know about barter town. You know who Tina Turner is sounds familiar Do you know? Oh God You know who Mel Gibson is Yeah, yeah. okay. do you ever watch Mad Max Yeah really.

not the new one. not that new crappy one that came out a few years ago. I'm talking like the old one from like the night, like early 90s or 80s or something. What did the original Mad Max come out? You never.

Oh, that's not. See the new one that you watched that's not Mad Max that's some something else. Hey, uh. don't try to start the car.

Do Not start it. No No no, Okay, right on. that's good. Okay, anyway now we've got a bearing that's installed.

We've got a backing plate that's now installed. Let us get our axle nut back in position here. Oh, need the big washer washer coming in? Spin that guy on right there dude and we're gonna need some forward impacts all right. Ring ring, a little more holes don't line up a little more and I think good you didn't torque the lug nut thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're good guys. No worries busting out some torque wrench action I Do this for you. Totally. So this is my not very critical torque wrench torque wrench.

It's for things such as well. It's not for engine parts is what I'm saying. I've got one that I do for like engine components and then I've got this one which is for like suspension stuff and wheels and tires and things of that nature. and I forgot while here.

I'm going to need pry bar because pry bars are good for everything including javelins. You can use them for a javelin. I'm not really certain how like important pry bar javelins are, but if we were in a Mad Max scenario, it couldn't hurt to have a pry bar javelin. In this case I'm just using my pry bar to hold on to this.

Hub So I can apply some some cleakages here. Yeah, clicks. All right, that's our minimum torque and I need to check the holes. We need to go a little bit farther to line up for the Cotter key Potter Pin Split Pin It's split Cotter Peaking Powder pin Key Words: You guys know what I'm talking about a little bit more here and one more.

one more bit of a turn just to get. uh, get that hole lined up should you guys see the pry bar? Flex That was wild. Okay now I can re-counter pin that hole and then we'll hang the brakes and everything. Okay Cotter pin coming in.

It's a new one because I don't like to reuse old ones horrible practice I Don't like it. There's our new one. I'm gonna try to do this the right way. I Understand there's like 500 right ways to do this.

We'll show you guys my right way. I'm gonna go around towards the front there that's probably good and then this one Bender around that way like so and then we'll smash it down so it's nice and pretty and that is that. staked in and secured. Is that the right way? or is that the wrong way? What do you guys think? All right.

We're in the home stretch here. rotors coming on, in, in and on, and the parking brake shoe needs to be adjusted. Hey, Troy how's your side going? Did you have to adjust that parking brake shoe? Is it too far out? Yeah, you have to turn it in. Okay, all right.

Okay, so this will be actually quite simple. Uh, there is an adjuster wheel and a little spreader bar right here. You see it's got the housing and then it's got its contact point on the other side and then the inside is threaded right there. So if we were to rotate this little star wheel right here, it will thread.

or, uh, it'll thread in and out and lengthen or shorten that adjuster and that will allow the pads or shoes rather to, uh, move inwards and outwards towards this rotor face. So we need to go this direction. Let's give her a couple turns here. you know? try that.

Please begin fitting. now. a little tight. that's a little too tight.

Wiggle that out and uh, one more, two more. I think two is good. Yep, that's it. Nice good.

So now let's just re-hang our caliper here and uh, this thing should be good to go. Let's move this on up. Out of the way, get rid of that. We'll slide our pads right back over top of our rotor.

Wiggle that guy on. recover the hooks. I've lost so many of these hooks by just leaving them kind of hanging out. it happens.

I Try to not do that anymore, but it happens. Magnet flashlights get lost too. There's a couple of you right now that have one of my magnet flashlights. You Know Who You Are You're out there.

it's little square ones I'm short two of them I'll trade anybody a uh, a souvenir Ray cup in exchange for my flashlight back. It's not that I want the flashlight, but I have the whole set and if I'm missing one from the set, then my set is incomplete. That kind of stuff bothers me all right. Going back in with our electron ratchet, that one threaded.

that's a click torque. There we go and let's tighten down this one. Oh yeah, good to go. That side is complete and I believe Troy is nearly done with his side too.

Let's go. Uh, let's go take a look. He doesn't know we're coming. Hello there.

Oh, you got us. How's this side coming along? Just gotta put the caliper back on. Ah, very good sir. Very good.

How's that? Uh, how's the tightness feel here? Oh, that's beautimous. I like it. Awesome. All right.

Well, whenever Charlie's done, we can get the wheels back on and uh, we'll go out and do a quick test drive on this thing. I'm not being mean, it's all in good fun. Amazing. Sounds like that'll make half of you cry.

seriously. oh what are you laughing at? but I probably hates you I can't No, I can't Haze you properly because uh, technically I employ you and I am Bound by the rules of the employer relationship and so if if I were to actually Haze you in a manner consistent with uh, us being co-workers for example, um I could probably get in trouble for that. So I can't really do that call HR HR um yes, yes. However, during is uh, not turned on and I will not respond.

There we go. Mild distraction. The USA tool guy came anyway as I was Troy Letter down sir. you're in descent now here.

Coming down all the way down. All right. Check it out. We're bringing back.

Torque Wrench cam. Hey, let's get these guys tight. 80 foot pounds of torque. There you go.

Jude and Uno Mas on the other side. Final thick Edge Good to go. All right. Okay, back in the cabin, restocking the engine, closed, packing up the auto.

Let's get this thing out on the road. see how she runs. Rackets cleared, wheels are torqued I checked the front ones also and uh, they were also under torque. That's kind of scary anyway.

I'm minding my mirror because we've got the door Corner over there Mustangs Out of the way so that should be easy to maneuver around and I'm about to ruin an extension cord. See, that's why you gotta look before you leap. see that yellow extension cord back there? It's like drooped at an angle and I fear that my wheels may have caught that angle. so we're just gonna kind of kick it out wide right here.

see if you can't uh, clear that cable hemp looking good now. we cut her back over, swing the back side all the way around the other way and we are free and clearing. backing up honks for safety. Get out of the way, he's very back.

Straighten up good, back it on out. Oh no, there's a train blocking the way. That's unfortunate. We'll just go this way and circumnavigate the train.

It's gonna drive over top of it. Anyway, let's get this unit up to speed. I Don't hear the grinding sound? Nice. That's cool.

No helicopter noise. Brakes are feeling good. Let us test the ability of the parking brake to hold the vehicle. We're at a red light.

I think I can get away with it right here. Uh no. I'm gonna go I don't want to sit here in traffic with the parking brake on. I should have checked that.

uh before we left. didn't even think about it. No matter, we can just borrow this parking lot right over here. Yep, here we go.

Oh, this is Scott's Towing parking lot. Look at that. they got a little. K5 Blazer Sitting back there.

That's cool. Anyway, parking brake engaged. it's in Drive foot off the brake and we're not going anywhere. That's cool.

Parking brakes are effective. giving it some throttle. Yep, good to go. push Again release and our break is released.

Nice. So we've undeleted. a system fixed the noisy bearings, uncrustified the backing plates. Now the car meets dot specifications.

Let's get back to the shop. We'll go over the bridge, around the block, under the bridge. there's that train and then uh, we can get this one parked. This car is good to go.
