Wear gloves and eye protection,swap out clips/shims once they come with the pads ,never rest slide pins or anything with grease on the floor as you would contaminate it which my cause scorching in the slide ways . If replacing the rotor disc or inspecting the shoes,always disengage the handbrake . Some rotors also comes with two 12mm holes for you to thread a bolt through to assist in taking it off if it's stuck. Hope this comment helps the ones who need it
Check rotor in 3 places around the rotor minimum for proper measurement. Also, if you have a 9mm new rotor, and the minimum safe spec is 8mm, you can't safely turn those if they warp. Always replace the clips when you put on new pads. They come in the box and take seconds to swap out. Do not add brake fluid in between brake jobs. This is how you tell you need brake service before you have a problem. Do not open the bleeder screws when replacing pads either. Do not use your c clamp on the brake line because you can break it. I do agree that you should buy a quality pad. Don't ever buy the cheapest pad they sell. You are literally taking your family's lives into your own hands when you do that. These pads have the highest failure rate. They literally will come apart .
Um, yes, do put grease on the new clips too if you use them. Also, rotors do not need replacemed every other brake job unless you're driving a freakin race car. Can't imagine how much money he has spent on needless rotor replacements. Rotors need changed only when they become defective or near defective...warped, worn thin, pitted, etc.
The moment I heard you say change the rotors every other brake job, I IMMEDIATELY turned off your video. You don't change rotors every other brake job!!

Guys u don’t need to remove both caliper bolts. Just remove the bottom 14mm and swing the caliper up and push the slide pin out. Easy peasy.
wow, you saved 5 seconds, congrats on that amazing revelation
@@tomtemple69 wow you like extra steps for no reason
Thanks, just did mine. Appreciate you saving me $200
Also. If changing rear rotor make sure to disengage parking or else rotor cannot be removed.
You literally just saved my life.
Dude thank you!
This is the main thing.
My niece took what u said literally and died
Oh my godd I was stressed out you just literally saved my life
Rotors not replaced. I came for the rotors.
Thanx. This saved me a couple of bucks. Gotta get that Milwaukee ratchet. Nice. Tool list is a special bonus.
Thanks so much,it's very late and we are changing break pads and this came in the clutch
What about the rotors you mention in the description?
Thanks excellent video and explanation, blessings & Happy New Year.
Great video sir! Great detail on everything. Thank you💯💯💯

i use rockatuo
Is it really that important to use a caliper to measure the rotor ? Or can I just change the pads n keep it pushing ?
That's a big ass bolt. 🤣🤣 We had just made the same comment before watching your video.
Hmm, i changed my front brake pads and it was a little more difficult to get on. Just not as smooth as his were. Should i have changed the clips?
Thanks bro! Liked and subscribed.
Very informative video! 👍

Is the ratchet 1/2" or 3/8"?
Bro you did not change the rotors . You only changed the pads
Yes get it queen
Tighten to what torque? Smack and snug?
The front brakes are 20 foot lbs on the 14 mm. Might be the same for the rear.
How does this video have 77K views but 177K likes?
Very informative video...thank you!!
This would have been so much better if you had a cameraman. But thanks!
When it comes to rotors and brake pads I just put new everything
Torque spec for those wheel lug nuts is 85ftlbs
Great video. One suggestion. For the environment please don’t replace rotors unless they aren’t able to be serviced.
Get a life
a dual caliper video....clever.....
A micrometer would be a much better tool to use to measure the thickness
Show me your calipers/vernier scales on a piece of paper. I have never seen a set with an offset for rust.
The moment I heard you say change the rotors every other brake job, I IMMEDIATELY turned off your video. You don't change rotors every other brake job!!
Sure ya can
He actually right tho… these cars are known to have a horrible squeal from minimum thickness and requires replacement because of the texture
@J3RON32THAM3ATSHO I'd always recommend it but will the car not stop if you don't change the rotor? It'll be fine 🙂
You didn't do the rotors.
So is it a 19mm or 21mm
19mm
19mm
to much unnecessary talk.
Only replacing the pads and not turning the rotor or a new rotor is NOT the proper way to do brakes.
Damn you’re really cute
Phaggot
You talk to much man
Yo
I'm just reading the comments now haha, but what's up 4 weeks later
