Can't do the job without torque specs.
13mm caliper bolts: 35nm (25.8 ft-lbs)
21mm caliper bracket bolts: 200nm (147.5 ft-lbs)
Wheel lugs: 140nm (103.2 ft-lbs)
Otherwise, nice video!
Where do we find information on the torque specs?

Used this video to change my wife’s brakes just now. I’m fairly mechanically inclined. Maybe slightly above average. Just knowing what size tools I needed when helped a ton instead of me making 10 trips to the toolbox. Appreciate you!
Awesome! Glad to help. 👍
Just did the brakes on my 2019 VW Atlas family car using this video and it worked perfectly. Honestly a perfect video. No words needed, just clear visuals of each step, and text to show each tool needed. Volkswagen wanted $1,300 to do them. I instead paid $125 on partsgeek and maybe $18 for some high end lube. Parts got here in 4days. Took about 2.5 hours but it was my first time. Thanks!
Nice 👍 glad to hear. VWs can get pretty expensive sometimes. Almost like Audi prices.
I've been changing my own brakes for at least 20 years,now. After watching your video I can see that I've been working to hard. thanks for the video
Awesome video!! Nice and easy, quick brake job, and idk about you but it always feels much nicer to drive around knowing you have fresh brakes on.
I have a few things to say though:
1. I think that's the 21mm deep socket that I thought I lost out of my toolbox at work hahahaha (unless you also have a Craftsman impact set)
2. I noticed you didn't clean the inside of the calipers slider bore because it still had good grease in there. I do the same thing and i had someone in the comments one time tell me all about how I was doing it wrong hahaha so I'm happy to see I'm not alone. I usually only clean the bore if it's rusty or has old dried up grease. If it's still good grease, I wipe the pin and re-grease, done.
3. I am very curious to know more about the theory of putting grease or "Disk Brake Quiet" paste on the back of the pads. I would like to learn more from someone that has had experience with this. Why should you? Why shouldn't you? I never know what the right thing is.
4. You didn't say a word the entire time, yet you provided every detail there is to know and showed how to do the job right. Well done!
Keep it up! You're doing better than me at this point hahaha
Lol I’ll check the socket. Ya I’ll talk to ya about the red brake squeak stop at work. 👍 thanks Dude!
As always, Interesting and detailed video.
Thank you Andy!
Awesome! thank you! that’s what I’m going for. 👍
Where do you jack from so that you can use the pinch welds for your stands? Near the end of the video it looks like your floor jack is near the control arm?
What a great video! Only thing that would’ve made it better. We’re putting the torque specs in red up on the screen like you did the wrench sizes. Otherwise everything a guy could’ve hoped for in regards to a tutorial. Thanks for putting this together.
What brand of brakes and pads do you recommend for the atlas?
Always ceramic unless you just like doing it sooner..
Thanks for a great video! Helped big time to change pads and rotors on a 2020 Atlas!!!
Nice, glad to help! 👍
I have two 2018's I'm doing for a friend this weekend. I would like to position my jack stand(s) at the pinch weld as you show in the video but I'm always a little unsure about where to place the floor jack. 😲 Any tips? Thank you! Great video btw!!
Yes, this is always a struggle to try to get the jackstands under. So carefully, I have two jacks that I go in from the front. I go under the control alarms. You have to make sure that they don’t slip out. There may be some area on the sub frame that might be safer. Be careful, but that’s how I did it.
you dont need to bleed the brakes everytime??
Great video. Just wondering where did you put the floor jack to lift the car .
Under the car
To the right
Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Your welcome 👍😁
Did you put the computer in Brake service mode or not really?
No, you only have to do that for rear brakes
@@AndyTheXTech Thanks for the info….
Torque specs?
Adding in the torque values would have been a great piece of info to include. But good vid none the less. Thanks for the info!
What is the name of the handheld impact/wrench
Metabo HPT , it’s awesome. If your not in the US it Hikoki . It used to be Hitachi
Take the cap off the brake reservoir when pushing back the pistons..? 🤔
You can if you want to. I normally don’t. It’s fine if you just go slow.
@AndyTheXTech Just thinking about the times a mechanic saw my fluid low and topped it off. I definitely recommend checking fluid level and if it's at a high level with thin pads, use a turkey baster or other suction device to remove an ounce or two before pushing back the pistons. Otherwise, overflow will occur...ask me how I know lol
Definitely unnecessary lol
How did you bleed the brakes and bed the pads? Same as any other car or it there any VW wonkyness to be aware of?
What do you do if the rotor is stuck? I can't get mine to break loose.
What year is that atlas ??
2018
great job!
Thanks
Do you still do the 1A auto videos
Failed to mention year, make, model, and engine size. Thumbs down 👎🏽
Good call I’ll fix it 👍
Very well done, but i just don´t like the way people soak their wheel hubs with thick and uneven layers of anti-seize grease, because the problem is, liquids and greases just won´t compress. To my knowlegde the connection between wheel hub and the inner plate of the break-rotor has to be very nice clean and dry. You really want concentricity on your wheels when they turn.
