That was a great video. Good instruction and explanation of the different steps and clear visuals. One thing I would like to have seen is the "tedious" parts and how you dealt with them, but that's just me lol
Thank you for the great video. I just finished the rotors and brakes on my 1998 Dodge Dakota. Just a note to others that are doing this on a 98 Dakota. My truck did not have the “anti rattle spring” you removed first. Also, my drivers side calipers boot bolts used the 7mm hex whereas the passenger side used a hex wrench one size smaller, the 7mm was too big. When doing this have a full set of hex’s available in case this happens to you. I also appreciate the great camera angles in this video. It was well demonstrated brake job. I like the lubrication details. I used the orange “Brake Quiet” goo as you demonstrated because I hate squeaky-brakes, I figured it was worth the 5 dollars to make sure I do not get metal on metal noise. This brake job was so easy and only cost me $70 for a pair of rotors and ceramic brake pad from RockAuto. I believe with this video and a free loaner set of tools from Advance Auto parts store anyone can replace their own rotors and pads. Thanks again for the video!!!
Thanks for the video, I've never done a brake job before because it's a "life safety issue," but your video made it look easy and it wasn't that hard, just needed to exercise care, which I did.
You might want to take the old pad and rest it against the piston, then use the clamp. That’s what I do and it works great. Sometimes, the clamp can damage the piston without using the old brake pad. Good video though.

What size is the Allen wrench?
Cannot find min thickness speck for 03 Dak 4×2 front disks
Cant you just hammer the piston in? That last step where you put that little sping in. Couldnt you just hammer it
Would you sell this dodge Dakota?
Excellent video and tips
