VIDEO: Rear Rotor Parking Brake Service
Would you replace a drum without changing the shoes? Andrew Markel discusses what must be performed when servicing rear rotors that use a drum in the hat of the rotor.
VIDEO: Scope Current Ramp To Check Coil’s Secondary Circuit Function
Access to secondary waveform testing is nearly impossible on some modern coil over plug ignition coils. But what if you need to check the secondary circuit function of the coil? The solution might be scoping the current ramp.
VIDEO: The Battery Replacement Step You Always Forget
Battery replacement is one of the most common repairs performed by a shop, but some late-model vehicles require more than just attaching the cables and hold-downs.
VIDEO: Measuring Dwell In The Ignition System
A coil takes a finite amount of time to build up this charge. This is the dwell time, normally defined as the camshaft’s degree of rotation, during which the voltage flows through and charges the primary side of the coil.
VIDEO: Lighting And Bulb Error Messages
When a bulb burns out it can produce a message in the instrument cluster and even a code. Andrew Markel discusses the procedures required to troubleshoot the circuit and to get the message to go away.
VIDEO: The Most Overlooked Brake Master Cylinder Replacement Part
If the seal or O-ring is leaking, it can cause a driveability issues with poor idle quality and lean DTC codes.

By performing these easy checks, you can determine if the spark plug wires are the problem or it is another component in the ignition system or on the engine.
VIDEO: Engineering Explained Tries To Find The Best Brake Pad
Popular YouTube channel Engineering Explained recently partnered with NRS Brakes to find out what are the differences between expensive and cheaper brake pads.
VIDEO: Can Synthetic Oil Cause An Old Engine To Leak?
One of the greatest myths is synthetic motor oils can cause an older or high-mileage engine to leak. This is not true! Synthetic and conventional base stocks are the same in how they interact with gasket and seal materials. This video covers the source of the myth, and why any engine can benefit from a synthetic or oil.
VIDEO: What Makes For A High-Quality Ignition Coil?
No matter the style of the ignition coil, where it is mounted, or how many cylinders it provides with spark, all coils have zero moving parts and sealed. Less expensive ignition coils use resins that are less resistant to vibration, heat and endless heat cycles under the hood. Taking a risk on a cheap ignition coil from an unknown source can put an engine at risk.
