This week's video the one you're watching now will be on YouTube Next week's video will be on Patreon. Sometimes it like won't roll back on a hill like it feels like the brakes are sticking. Yeah when I turn the truck off and turn it back on again, it doesn't anymore. and uh, you can kind of smell it.

It migrates from Wheel to wheel like sometimes it's the rear passenger wheels and it's a rear drive reel. Speed Is this good enough for you? Yeah, that's all normal. That's normal. That's Driveline All right.

Yeah, Forget it. Yeah, but then I Get on a heart. Is that okay? Yeah, you can get out of my heart. but it's not.

That's not when I feel it. Yeah, but that gives you. that's the ultimate test. Oh okay, for whether or not we've got a rubbing issue for real.

Oh no, that's fine. that's all. Driveline that vibration. Yes, let's just front axle.

Oh okay, if it's like grinding grinding, we'll pull the wheel and look at it because visual will tell us everything we need to know. Okay, but um I bet you it's fine. This spirited man is working on a Sunday Sunday away from his wife and toddler. a Sunday on which his wife and toddler deserve him.

He is not working for money, he's working to help to be of service. Let's just pull off these wheels to make sure the new brakes are okay. Fine. I should be doing something.

You're good. all right. You're doing your job all right. Good.

That's what I want to do. so you're my same age. so I can't use the like. Well, I'm an old guy in March Yeah.

I mean I'm a little older than you, right? What? 20 seconds? Oh yeah, it does look weird. Look at the huh back back here. Yeah, no. I'm looking at it from the front.

Yeah, they're done. They were like no, hmm yeah, let's call your guy. Okay, this typically happens when a piston in the caliper sticks and doesn't fully retract I'll pull the pads out and see if any of the Pistons are stuck. All right.

So you have the whole thing off. All right. So let me see these. Okay, so these have 4 000 miles on them.

They shouldn't look anything like that. that is near metal to metal and the other side is metal to metal. Brake pads are supposed to look like this. Our brake pads look like this.

They should last 20 to 60 000 miles. but our brake pads look like this after only about four thousand miles. I've never seen one of these in real life, but I've always wanted to that ain't Allen's F40 Ellen can't afford no F40 that's some other guy he's helping out somehow. Allen Paid for lunch on this particular Sunday Revival Cycles Yes, this is a motorcycle shop was the last.

American Service Outpost before our 1500 mile Adventure down the spine of Mexico The website said they had a man. Okay, so we're on to our fourth. We're on to our fourth auto store and auto parts stores in the entire city it was at the other. AutoZone on Wayne Kenneth William Kenneth William Cannon Road there's two.

it was a Sunday no mechanics shops open in Austin on a Sunday sun is Now setting started at about noon, but Alan opened his for us. A tremendous solid, saving us hopefully from having to find an extra nights lodging and ground transportation whilst we waited who knows how long for some other shop to maybe fix it. say oh no, please don't say oh no please don't you gotta go back. Come on no, it's gonna be easy.

Not to mention the security of functioning breaks for the long drive down. Mexico Remote mountainous Mexico With the lady and the boy, why the hell did the brake Pistons Seize Brand new for God's sake, brake booster brand new Foreign Alan is an artist, but art is not a handicraft. it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced. Alan builds motorcycles that transmit feelings that he has experienced foreign.

The music maker tells us that the act of self-expression isn't really about you. Self-expression is not about you. The hell does that mean I Don't know what it means but I think I know what it means. He's calling the master Alan called The Master Maybe you remember him.

He builds the finest Land Cruisers In the world. he transmits feeling Jonathan Ward knew what was wrong. Push rod that comes out of the brake booster and goes into the brake master cylinder was two millimeters too proud as Alan put it. The too long push rod meant that my brakes had been just a little bit engaged for about 4 000 miles, causing excessive heat, melting the cylinder seals and jamming the Pistons.

They probably would have failed catastrophically somewhere in the Mexican desert. Allen Adjusted the push rod two millimeters and the brakes work perfectly to this day. A tuned Choice by attuned Choice Your entire life is a form of self-expression Ultimately, the act of self-expression isn't really about you. Maybe Alan's self-expression his mechanical brilliance birthed his generosity.

or maybe his generosity birthed his mechanical brilliance. Either way, that Sunday he likely saved my family. This is one of those. How am I ever going to repay him moments.

Four people like totally put themselves out for me today to get us on the road. And man I have to be a more generous person on this week's Patreon only video. The reason for this build for building this twenty five hundred dollar GoPro is not a reason at all. It's irrational.

It's emotional. This spirited man wants a camera he can like again.
