Thanks for watching! What type of car maintenance do you typically do yourself?
Hi have you ever experience the rear brakes not completely engaging so my rotors don't look so shinny??
Nice video. Thank you. One other good practice is to loosen and/or remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before compressing the piston, to make it easier to compress, and avoid creating bubbles in the fluid in the brake lines and reservoir. Then just replace it when you're done.
Dude…Those rotors are ROACHED….
well done …good instructional video….
Thanks man. Been a long time since I've done a break job. Appreciate the refresher.
That wasn't the brake line….. that is the parking brake cable sheath.
Im so glad Luke Wilson is back behind the camera again….. Good job!
You did not mention the torque specs for the caliper bracket, or caliper. The caliper bolts are 13mm and should be torqued to 26 ft. lbs, and the caliper bracket bolts are 18mm, and should be torqued to 74 ft lbs. Also should pull, clean, and re-lube caliper pins. Also lug nuts are 19mm, and need to be torqued to 100 ft lbs. Sorry to mention, but doing mine right now. Check my video for problem/solution that I ran into about caliper pins and bracket.
Don't lube your wheel studs. You might lose your wheel going down the road. You better keep torquing them for safety. NEVER lube the studs. They're galvanized and won't rust!
