I know you posted this a while back and I appreciate many of the pointers
you made. One correction: On the rear brakes the caliper mounting pins
should not be torqued to to 25 ft/lbs. This is the torque specification
for the front pins which are larger. The correct torque value for the rear
pins is 11 ft/lbs.
You guys showed that you adjusted the e-brake on the passenger side. Did I
miss a section on how to readjust that back when you are done? Also, I take
it that the e-brake is not set on?
Awesome comprehensive video. I noticed that you tightened the caliper
bracket bolts to 130 ft.lbs. on the first side and 100 ft. lbs. on the
second side. I’m sure this was just misspoken, but which is correct?
This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic. It is very helpful. The
only thing I think it should add is that you also need to clean inside the
drum on the back of the rotors before installing for the emergency brakes.
This was a good comprehensive video. I was looking for a video on a 2001
Dodge Ram rear brake replacement, but I guess this is similar. This was the
best I have seen so far.

Do you still have to bleed the breaks if only to change the pads?
They are probably similar if your 2001 Dodge Ram has rear disc brakes..
Can you make a video on how to change the parking break pad on a 2005 Dod
Ram 1500 thank you
I am pretty sure 130 ft lbs. is correct. Sounds like I just got in a hurry
on the second side. Great catch. Thanks..
Thank you for the suggestion.

You don’t have to but by pushing the fluid back up through the system you
risk a chance of some trash damaging your abs unit.. Greg
Do you have to bleed the caliper to push the piston in I was just wondering
because I usually just open the cap on the res and c clamp the piston in.

Should be similar as long as yours has disc brakes also.
AWESOME VIDEO!! Im assuming its the same on a 2002 4×4??
Hopefully we can do one soon.. I believe hat could help a lot of people..

I knew their was a reason I just wasn’t sure why thank you.
