Thank you so much for the video but we just accidentally tightened the caliper bracket bolt to 140 torque instead of 60. You think it’s ok? Or try to take it off…
You may want to Google your specific year, make and model Volkswagen Jetta and see what the recommended torque settings are. If you way over tightened them you may want to back the bolt off and retorque it to the correct specs. Also keep in mind that inch pounds and ft pounds are very different. Hope this helps you out.
Good video. Are you twisting the piston back in, instead of pushing int back in, to avoid having to disconnect the brak fluid line and bleeding the brake?
We replaced the wheel hub bearing in another video...Movie magic...lol Here is the other video ruclips.net/video/g1zvTsBqE5E/видео.htmlsi=2b8NVcJj0P7JIrBG
You typically have to remove the wheel hub bearing assembly on a lot of newer vehicles to replace the brake roto dust shield. It is probably the case on this car as well.
Those bracket bolts are stretch bolts and need to be replaced. Torque to spec and use a breaker bar to turn an additional 90°. They're shipped longer than needed so I clipped mine off to about 1 1/2in. If you do a 2011 you'll invent a new language working on those bolts.

You have a lift but you don’t have the $12 tool for the caliper piston?
We have a caliper piston tool.
Most important of my comments, nice work thank you

Yes
Ye have to twist the brake caliper back into place so the new brake pads fit over the brake rotor.
why? it should just compress like every other car i ever worked on.
@@highorbit3282nope. They have to be rotated in. They can't be compressed.
it looks like the pillar of your lift is right against the wall. How do you get in and out of the car?
There is enough room to squeeze by.
13:37 dont use 3/8 just spend the 10 bucks n buy the 14

Is metal clip not required on the caliper bracket? My 2013 Jetta didn't have any but pads came with clips. I see you just lubed it up only.
Doesn't look like this particular one didn't have caliper clips either.
When you removed the rotor, you could see how dirty and rusted the hub was. What did you use to clean it so well that it looks like its brand new!

what torx bit did you guys use to get the caliper bracket off?
The size should be stated in the video.
14point torx, i believe its specific to vw
@@HomeownerRepairit’s not though
someone tell me why they spin the piston? ive never needed to do that before, i would just use a C clamp to push the piston back.
The rear pistons on the car twist in to retract.
How easy is it to remove and replace that dust cover? Mine's gone flaccid and bumping into the rotor and I'm going to replace it when I do the brakes.

Thanks for the added tip.
that top caliper bolt is a serious pain in the rear to get back in with the longer torx bit. I did but that was no fun
Thank you for watching our auto repair video that shows you how to replace the rear brakes on a Volkswagon Jetta.
I think for this model you don't need to remove the caliper bracket. The rotor should slide out with the bracket still on.
I believe you should have removed that brown peel on the back of the pads so they stick to the caliper..
That may be correct.
Pro tip: The caliper brackets don’t need to be removed to get the rotor off.

guy in the chair is too relaxed
I'll tell him that...lol
What about a 2019????
You may be able to apply some of the basic general automotive steps show in this vehicle to that model year.
