    thank you for making this video it was a HUGE help, the back brake pad is probably the worst brake pad I have ever dealt with it is extremely tricky to get in there. once it is in it is in though it is in. Thanks again!

    Great close ups. This is one of the better brake videos I've seen. Will help out even those that think blinker fluid needs changed.

    One thing I want to point out to people is if you are doing the rear brakes you have to not have the parking brake on (the switch next to shifter) or it will lock the caliper on and not allow it to budge . Put it in Park and Chock the wheels you will be fine i left the car on stand for 7 hours overnight with it in Park . It was fine . Just know this if you cant get the rear calipers off thats why. Thank you for this video

    Thanks for this and all the money you're going to save me. Also, thank you for torquing things down. Some people don't realize there's a such thing as "too tight". I'm just a girl who was told she can't do her own brakes. I used to do my Grand Am, but I own a Malibu Eco now (don't judge me, it was a gift) and was afraid the "regenerative braking" might be different than normal brakes. I can do this, with a PB&j sandwich in the other hand. 😊

    Do you have to use that loner tool to squeeze the caliper on the back? Can you not use a C-Clamp for that too?

    • @s33therfan
      @s33therfan  8 месяцев назад +1

      You really need the loaner tool because you have to twist it clockwise while applying pressure. Hope this helps.

    Can you get the caliper bracket off easily to replace the rotors?

    • @s33therfan
      @s33therfan  Год назад

      Yes . The bolts will be tight but a breaker bar will take them loose easily. Thanks for the feedback.

    • @silvergunsmoke494
      @silvergunsmoke494 Год назад

      Yes absolutely. The pins are vital to the whole brake system. They tend to get seized if they’re not lubed and that will cause premature brake wear and all kinds of problems

      This one has regular brakes and only had the electric parking brake motor. Bascially just takes the place of the lever. Thanks for the feedback.

    • @s33therfan
      @s33therfan  2 года назад +1

      I always like to spray them with wd40 or preferably white lithium pb blaster. Prevents them from ripping or tearing. Great question thank you for watching.

    • @JordanArend-is9kh
      @JordanArend-is9kh Год назад

      Because you probably have the parking brake on while youre working on the rear brakes . It doesnt allow the caliper to disengage the piston after taking the bolts off.
