At 9:35, this tool is only used for the 2011 thru 2016 9th Gen models which have a ratcheting caliper-style parking brake. 2000 thru 2010 8th & 9th Gen models have a "drum-in-hat" style rear parking brake and do not require this tool.
Woohoo!! I'm only 4 minutes in and I ended up getting a shoutout!! Thanks man!! I can't wait to finish watching this since next time I do brakes, I may do this very upgrade. I had an issue with pulsating as well and it turned out to be crappy Carquest that was the issue. I replaced the rotor and pads and I have no problem. Been running the Raybestos and Akebono pads for a number of years now and it's still perfect.
When I replaced my brakes with those Powerstop Pads and rotors. I went with those drilled and slotted rotors and they were crap! They warped in about 6 months of daily driving. So I went with the same Raybestos Rotors with the wavy slots in it and the Akebono pads and I have no problem with those. Yeah those Akebono pads my son and i hae used on several vehicles and have loved them. I didn't do the Police upgrade though. I also went with those KYB Quickstruts and love them. I also use Ryobi for everything. I love that I can use the same batteries. I even have the Ryobi tire inflater.
You really can't beat Ryobi's quality per price-point. You can get many years out of their tools, but won't go broke when you ultimately have to replace them. I've never tried Powerstop products, so I would say that's a good recommendation to avoid!! KYB's really are the only way to go when replacing struts, IMHO. With every other brand being manufactured in China, KYB's are made in Germany.

Do a video review of valvomax oil drain plug on the impala
@@aaaaii6511 Never heard of it. I do have a GOLD PLUG drain plug installed. Nothing really spectacular about it, just has a magnet on the end of it..
I have a 2012 impala with only 75000 mi. I've had it 11 years. Still runs perfect. I enjoy watching you work on the impalas. Helps me keep mine going.
Right on! 🍻
FYI the Grand prix GXP uses the same rotor size as the 9c1
Thanks, that's good to know!
@CertifiedShadetree different caliper and bracket though, size difference is like 2mm 🤦♂️

Those Akebonos are good shit!! Thanks again for the suggestion!
WoW what a Break Job, I need to do this on my truck so bad. but I very seldom even drive it..
It really does make the job go 3 times as long when you replace the hoses!!

I got the Detroit axel rotors drilled and slotted, it sqeeks a lot when I brake really slow at a light
Might need to take the pads out and squirt a little "Disc Brake Quiet" on the back sides of them.
I have a factory 9C1. You'll probably need 17"s or higher for this FYI, so if you have an LS trim with 16"s be ready
Spoiler Alert: I give a full-on demonstration of this in Part 2. 😉
I actually mention this less than 2 minutes into the video!! 😳
