    Just did them yesterday, thanks so much for putting this up, its very helpful. I have a 2008 Canyon, one big difference between the years is the speed sensor is part of the hub and you have to be careful to take the entire wire harness thru the hub with it when you remove the assembly.

    Don't forget to remove the lid on the brake fluid reservoir before compressing the piston. Also, after cleaning up the hub, don't forget to put anti-seize on the two adjoining surfaces before putting it back together.

    i just replaced my son's wheel bearing assembly and rotor. Some how I put on the rotor backwards, i didn't realize you could do that. I could mount the caliber bracket, so now i have to take everything back off again. This is a great video, very good instruction.

      Ya its a bit annoying to get to especially just to do brakes. The design it like this for heavy duty applications (even if you look at tractor trailers) I would guess its to give it more durability and make it stronger

    Nice detailed vid, also can be used if u need to change hub with bad sensor, only thing I wouldn’t do is use so much grease on the slide pins, just a light coating is needed and the grease for the clips should go under them, it is where the rust forms to jack up the clips, but this is one of the best detailed vids I’ve seen on this procedure

    The ABS Sensors on both sides are pressed on the hub (R & L) for 4x4 versions in 2009. It's not an easy one little bolt removal and reinstall to change the ABS Sensor on 4 WD Models. The ABS Sensor has to be pressed onto the hub and the wires passed thru the splash guard and the replaced rotor.

    • @christophervitale7147
      @christophervitale7147  4 года назад

      I had the service manual but if you don't, you can simply look up what bolt you want to tighten and google will let you know.
      For example if you need to know the front brake caliper bolt torque, just search up the (year, make and model of your truck) and then (front caliper bolt torque spec)
      You will get different forums and sources of people have the manual and just want to help people out
      Hope this helps :)

    Pro tip! Squirt some wd40 or rust breaker than start tapping. So when you tap and it breaks loose a little that wd40 will seep in. Alot less beating.

And they told me they need to take out my axle and all this other stupid stuff. So my question to you is, is this the same on a 2009 Chevy Colorado manual transmission 4x4

  • @garyl3802
    @garyl3802 3 года назад +1

    Great video. One question. When you are opening the caliper piston should you not crack the cap on the brake fluid reservoir and also watch that you don’t spill out brake fluid. Through brake wear fluid may have been added which will become too much when you put new pads on.

    • @christophervitale7147
      @christophervitale7147  3 года назад

      I always check levels here and there just in general to make sure everything is good. In general you should never really have to add fluid cause it's a closed system. Itll go down a bit once the pads wear and itll go up once you retract the pistons. However you shouldn't add fluid everytime it goes below full. When you put new brakes in make sure it's right at the full line and just monitor from there ever couple of weeks.

      Nope, only if you are changing the fluid or any part of the brake system that will allow air into it such as a brake line or caliper :)

    • @christophervitale7147
      @christophervitale7147  2 года назад +1

      Your supposed to torque every bolt on a vehicle but in all honesty for efficiency its not good for shops to do that or else things would take a lot longer to do. However they should be torque everything that keeps your car onto the road (such as anything to do with the wheels hubs or suspension) for safety and they should also torque anything that is a major mounting point (such as the bolts that hold the transmission to the engine) Other than that and a few other things you can just tighten snugly. Everything should be torqued regardless but in reality the mechanic world will never work like that lol

      If im not too late... just keep wacking at it itll come off eventually. If you can try to hammer it off to a point where you can stick the tip of a pry bar in between the hub and rotor and hammer it in. That method will help a lot. You can also try to work it back and fourth and spray some lubricant inside to help free it up. I forgot to do in in my video but put some anti- seize on the hub as well so it is easier to get off next time.
