Did you have to drain any brake fluid before pushing that piston in?
jim how do you get emergency brake iine back on rear caliber buick lasbre 2003
You Are only one who actually knows details…
JIM thank you thank you
hi jim sent away for rotors for 2003 buick the front rotors are half the thickness of the originals bolts line up but i have a space where the pads go will they work ???thank you jim
Jim, thanks a million for the DIY video. Well laid out instructions. I got the front brakes and rotors replaced on my 2004 Park Avenue. For someone with not much mechanical aptitude, I was successful thanks to you. Still having some grinding noise. Thinking the caliper might be bad. The pistons were kinda rusty on the outer edges.
Excellent how to video. I might even be able to do this to my Park Avenue!
i gotta say this is one of the most useful and well done how to videos ive found. i hope they are all done like this, im subscribing!
Nice Video! Clear and concise.
I would add this thought: If the brake fluid reservoir if FULL there will be an overflow when the brake caliper pistons are pushed back, creates a mess of brake fluid running down….might want to suck some fluid out and top off at the end of installation.
Very helpful video. Thanks very much.
I wouldn't use grease but instead silicone paste as the grease eats away at rubber parts and those sliding pins can seize inside their bores, as I have seen it before. They will not release properly.. but great video .. thanks
Thanks for a great video as usual. Jim, on a different note when doing a subaru gasket head with the motor in place, where do you place the jacks under the motor, and do you use one or two Jacks? is it safe to place one under the oil pan (can it carry the weight of the motor)? Thank you.
What is the hardest brake job you ever did?
And another one out the door! good info Jim! hope all is well.
Great video thanks for sharing. I have a 2002 Buick LeSabre. Is front brakes and repair job basically the same as this car?? Thanks for sharing your video. I hope you have a blessed week.
