Remember kids, torque wrenches are for dummies and nerds. The cool kids don’t use them. Hell, my daddy and grandaddy didn’t use torque wrenches and nothing bad ever happened to them. Torque wrenches are a conspiracy to make people spend money. 😏😉 BTW, to those who do care about doing things right, and those who understand why engineers waste their time calculating torque specs and printing manuals with lousy torque specs, the torque for the caliper bolts is 40 Nm or 30 ft-lb. And for the bleeder 10 Nm or 7.4 ft-lb. And of course, don’t let the calipers hang from the brake lines.I know, I know, my daddy and granddaddy use to let it hang… Oh heel, and if you really want to be an ll out nerd, don’t forget to flush your brake lines every year to two years. Just hide from the cool kids while you do that, or else they will laugh at you just as loud as when you use torque wrenches.
Good to see "all out" and the fixing process.
Thank you very much.

Great video. Looking forward to the next videos. Is that a desinger mechanics outfit? 😀
Thank you very much
Happy to help and more to follow.
Great informational video! Did you use silicone grease to relube the rubber boots?
Thanks for watching my video. I use Permatex Silicone Brake Lubricant. #24120
Thanks for these videos. Doesn't using the brake cleaner risk damaging the slider seals?
I use it sparingly and remove any excess right away. A good degreaser would also work great.

If you can't work on your bike, then you don't deserve a bike.
