No, not at all the fluid goes down when the brake linings wear out..when you replace them, the pads are thicker and they will push the fluid back up into the reservoir..with all new brakes all around the fluid should be on the full mark
@@BadWeatherfreak there is no need to bleed the lines unless you opened the system like changing a brake line or hose or caliper..the system is closed to air unless you introduce it in..so just by pushing in the caliper piston it will push the brake fluid back up into the reservoir...
@@alyoungcuda oh okay. was wondering if you knew the caliper torque for this specific car. cause kind of funny by my dad has the same exact car and year and im gonna replace his brake and rotor too so i'll be using your video as a guide. i'm all set to go except for knowing the torque for the caliper and shoe for front and rear, you have a recommendation for brake grease or lube to use?
I like the way you explain in detail all the wright steps of does and donts...👍👍
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching too...
I need to do this but I've been putting it off
I feel like I did it vicariously via this video tho lol 😂
Be safe doing it for sure..and Thanks for watching...
Thank you very much. Great lesson learned.
You're welcome and thanks for watching too
Great video very clear and detailed
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching too...
Do you recomended taking some break fluid out of the reservoir?

@Al Young Cuda I am also changing the rotors do you recommend bleeding the lines?

Great video
Thank you and thanks for watching too..
Exelent video thaks so much
Thank you for watching
Did clean and lube the caliber bolts?
Always, check for that...
did you not need to torque the caliper bolts to a certain ft-lbs?
You should, I leave it up to the ones doing it..some just make it tight. But torque is the best policy

@@darksid33 i believe its 22 ft is but double check..as for the lube, the best brakes come with it, otherwise I buy a tube made for it at autozone
Good job.
Thank you and thanks for watching...
My rotors basically fall out
Thats good, not here in the north east..😆
