We are back at the 2005 Cadillac Deville. This time step-by-step replacement on the front disk brake pads and rotors.
Doing this DIY project will give you huge savings on labor.
It is a 3 hour morning job for the average guy. Total Parts cost $65.00 when sourced on eBay. Total Labor savings $300.00.
3 Generations of average guys spend a morning together and share a few stories and laughs while changing the pads and rotors.

IS IT SAME ON 94 FLEETWOOD FRONT BRAKE PADS
The brake line has to handle 1000 psi of pressure. Dropping the caliper will not hurt it at all.
do you guys also play bass and drums on the intro?
use the old inner pad as a buffer to compress the piston. never put uneven pressure on it, it's not like they're made of hardened steel; the older they get, the more brittle the exposed edges and contact face gets. don't pry against the naked piston face OR put a clamp directly on it. If you open the bleeder screw, you can compress by hand. In doing so, you don't force brake fluid back into the abs module, which contains metering, check, and proportioning valves; some of which are actuated via censors. You can damage these components by forcing the brake fluid back against these valves. It's just smarter and easier to crack the screw open, compress the piston, and close the screw. if you are afraid air will get in, then use a hose and cup pre-primed with new fluid.
Kid needs to use the ratchet wrench!
The tip on how to tell which pad goes where was very helpful. Some little things that would really have helped are cleaning the new rotors (they often come with grease on them), adding anti-seize to the back of the hub after cleaning it with a wire brush, greasing & cleaning the guide pins, greasing the area where the pads contact the metal clips and using new metal clips. I would never use the clips over again. Just me. Nice job, glad y'all included the bolt sizes!
this is awesome!! we watch YouTube videos all the time for our car!! I'm so excited to see these ! good job guys. I'll tell people to go to your videos I know LOTS of people who use stuff like this!! <3
