  • In this video I explain why YOU should be buying your brakes off Amazon and NOT the part stores. This video covers specifically PowerStop Brakes, However there are many great brake brands on Amazon like Detroit, E-Line, K-Sport, etc. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy the video!

    What are you talking about with set screws in the rotors for "centering up the hubs"? thats false.

    • @RangeRov49
      @RangeRov49 6 дней назад

      Yeah, most of the timethe hub does the centering (hub centric) unless it's stud centric 😂 set screws are installed at the factory to keep the rotors from falling off in the assembly line.

    How much heat is generated on a solid vs slotted drilled rotor?

    • @Pete_Tech_
      @Pete_Tech_  Год назад

      That’s not exactly a quantifiable value. The different comes in heat dissipation. Slotted and or drilled have an ability to remove heat of the rotor plane faster than solid, because they move more air through them.

  • @blackericdenice
    @blackericdenice 4 года назад

    2:15 What da hell are you talking about. The pad area is hotter than the hub.
    Would you say Amazon pads are better than the stock pads?

    • @Pete_Tech_
      @Pete_Tech_  4 года назад

      Correct. The disk and pad assembly generate heat and are the areas with the most physical heat. Stated in the video I was trying the explain there is more conductive heat (heat captured and stored from the friction of the brake contact) towards the bottom of the rotor and the hub assembly. There is more airflow and heat dissipation at the top of the rotor than there is the bottom. That is why the slots are designed to pull in from closer to the hub (the bottom) to keep temperatures down closer the hub, and hence less heat is stored/conducted in the rotor hub.

      In my professional opinion, the finish and the build quality is SLIGHTLY better than Detroit axle..However, I have a personal vehicle with Detroit Axle Slotted and Drilled Rotors on a Honda Accord (notorious for warped rotors) and I have beat on them with zero issues. So I can't say either is dramatically better than the other.

  • @aggressivemediocrity
    @aggressivemediocrity Год назад

    The rotors will not move even slightly if you leave out the set screws. Think about it the wheels and lugnuts are holding everything down. Back in the day we never had screws in the rotors because they aren't necessary it's an assembly line thing nothing to do with holding the rotors in place once the wheel is on. And this is coming from 25 year ase certified tech. My advice pitch em and save yourself the headache next time you do your brakes.
