Do you not have to bleed the brakes then?
Popular Mechanics: Sat… : How to Replace Your Car’s Brake Pads
When I change pads, and I dont put on a new rotor. Should I clean the old
rotors in some way? In that case, how should I clean them?
Question on rotors – how can we decide whether they need replacement or
not? My car’s brake discs are slightly worn, it has gone few millimeters
thinner on the contact area.
does every car come with the spring clips or is it just an accessory?
A must-watch for all car owners who want to learn DIY auto repair.
I don’t really get what you did with the c clamp can you explain a little
more please ? Great video nonetheless
Hey, everyone. Why is the labor to do this so damned expensive?! Serious
question. :)
Think you have to pump the the breaks after the job to bring the pressure
back up. I know little about cars. Just my input.
On another note, I’m changing out my pads, how do I know my rotors also
need replacing?
If I dont have that spring you mentioned at the end, would the car make
clunking noises and stop clunking when you press the brakes

thank you
would this work on a toyota camry?
Slide pins should ONLY be lubricated with silicone grease, so as not to
damage the rubber that surrounds them. You might want to note that.
Do you have to open the brake fluid container, or keep it closed while you
change the pads ?
Awesome help my friend. I will return for some more advice. Thank you very
much.
That vid was really informative.
I replaced my brakes but my front driver side make a grinding sound when I
break. What’s causing that? Also my rotor was smooth but since then it has
a thin grove in the middle
Thanks dude, as a guy who only knows how to replace tires and spark plugs,
this was pretty easy to follow for someone like me who is nearly illiterate
in the vocabulary of auto mechanics.
Very good job Well done My friend !
Sweet job it never goes that easy for me oh ya the beer might have
something to do with it haha Quinn Dogg
Great video!! I love watching repair videos
i didnt have a torch wrench, so i payed attention to how hard it was to get
off, and made it about that tightness again. I made it nice and snug, but
didnt wrench it super hard, and made them as identical as i could. anyone
know if this is super bad that i did this? it feels fine and my breaks work
like new
“And remember… always wear your safety glasses.” Now go back and watch
the video again. Oops :-)
i enjoyed the video. how do you change the front and rear rotor and brake
pads for 2008 528XI Bmw
Wow thank you very much guys
This is great. Other than the sensor squealing, what is the rule of thumb
for replacing pads (20,000 miles? 25,000?).
Also – Can you do this with a regular tire jack, or do you need a lift to
do it? Not much room with a jack, but would love to try to do this to save
a few bucks
I did everything you showed in the video, but now the breaks on m 2003
Buick Century don’t work at all. What do I need to do?
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
My truck is rocking back and forth now; did I put too much grease on the
pins?
Do we Have to use brake grease or can we use high temperature grease also?
-Just curious if there is an actual difference in the compounds.
nice, simple, good explanation, under budget, and good shots. Thanks
I really like this video it is a clean job
if you rather have me do this call 310 994 6277. I will come to you.
Thanks
These may sound like a stupid idea, but is it possible to replace the brake
drum with brake pads? I am thinking of a VW Polo. To get nice brake caliber
on alle four weels, like cars with 4motion(4×4). It will be part of
styling, and I guess it is a lot of work to get it to function properly,
but if it’s is possible, and not too much work, a video or comment would be
appreciated. Grettings, Alex from Norway
Remember to press the brake pedal a few times when you’re finished, so that
the pads will sit correctly. A colleague of mine forgot that, and he ended
up denting a customers cars.
before attempting to push the piston back in its bore, open the bleed screw
first. rust & sediment result as moisture accumulates in the brake fluid.
some unknowing technicians will bottom out the piston in caliper bores
without opening the bleed screw. this forces the sediment from low parts of
the system back to the ABS and master cylinder. _according to this
automechanic book i am reading right now.
I was trying to take the caliper out but it won’t budge. I can see a piece
of metal through the mid section of the caliper. I looks like a clip of
some sort. is this what is preventing me from taking the caliper out? I
didn’t see it in the video.
it always easy if you how, thanks
Thank you
Check out my piston caliper tool video
that looked so easy man!
Too much work for one day x]
Nice video. First video I’ve ever watched on car service/maintenance. Hehe.
