It’s definitely looking much better since the first time I saw it the paint actually shines nicely now and I can’t wait to see you driving it around and also looking forward to track day!!! The video yesterday at the blower shop was amazing and very informative and I actually learned something and that made it extra special for me!! Thanks again for the amazing content keep up the great work and I’ll see you in the next video!!!! Oh and helping Clay save his vehicles from the theft people was also amazing and great to hear your name on his channel!!!😂!!!
I liked the red wheels, but I agree they needed some love. Also, I've used a lug nut to help hold the rotor in place while getting everything lined up, then once the caliper bracket and caliper are reinstalled I remove the lug nut and reinstall the wheel. Great video John! I'm really looking forward to seeing this thing on the track! Are you planning on racing a variety of courses or just drag?
Good video but if I may. You should have told everyone to open the master cylinder cover, remove some of the fluid, and put a rag around the cylinder reservoir in case the fluid backs up. Also, your tool is fantastic but I use a C-clamp and use the old brake pad so both wheel pistons will go in at the same time. This stops one one piston from going out while you are pressing the other one in. Great video, keep up the good work!
So, typically, brake pad and rotor manufacturers have specific steps they recommend to properly "bed" the pads to the rotors. It's a fancy way to describe breaking in your new parts. This isn't exact, but it will have some instructions like several slow brakes to a full stop from 35mph, several more aggressive brakes from 45-55mph to a full stop, etc. This allows the pad and rotor to heat up and "seat" with one another to make sure they're functioning properly. Nicer brake companies like Baer, Wilwood, and even Power Stop all have "break-in" or "bedding" procedures that accompany the new parts. Hope that helps. 😎
I have a question about the slot direction. I bought the Powerstop kit for my 300 and they say the slots go the opposite direction as yours does. I've seen others do the same. Why are the slots oriented differently from one application to another?
it depends but ultimately the way the ones he bought are correct , you want the slot oriented to catch the air to cool effectively, if they were out on the other way it wouldn’t dissipate heat properly

C5 z06 had red calipers and black brackets factory so that might be the original stuff. Great vid!
Awesome J《☆》Nice work Brother. She looks 110% better now & 180% Safer✌🏼😎☯️
Thank you for the video! New follower here! I have a c5 and I want to start making the basic maintenance on my own..
That car looks great. Interesting information about the brakes. Always very informative. Good job John.
Excellent video. Attacking this project on my C5 this afternoon.
Excellent instructions. Very helpful.

Dude great video as usual! I would replace that brake fluid ASAP I mean if the rear brakes got hot enough to crack that that fluid is cooked
Cant wait to see the Vette running at the track

Could you re-link the rear rotors and front and back pads because the links that you have in the description are for the compression tool.
Two of your four Amazon links are incorrect. But your video is excellent!
Can you explain “bedding” or how you break in new rotors and pads. ? Awesome video as usual 👏🏻👏🏻

Nice tool.
I use a good old C-clamp, but what ever work right? LOL
Thumbs Up !!
Good tips bro
Great Video... Thanks

Let's go!!
Nice maintance video.
Just follow the brake company recommendations on rotor direction and grease points on the brake pads.
