C clamp/old pad idea will not work with these calipers, the pistons on
these have to be rotated. Thats why I’m using this fancy tool
You can just use a large C clamp and old pad to push the piston back. The
tool is nice but not necessary.
I used that caliper tool before on my talon. U aren’t using it right. If u
look there’s a flang that has to sit inside the caliber so it puts pressure
on the piston. If used correctly it should only take a few turns.
i wounder if they would fit an Hyundai i10
These rotors have been excellent so far. No cracks or warps. The braking is
definitely better. Well worth the investment
By backwards I mean, you installed the left rotor on the right side of the
car and vice versa
Of the disk veins are straight it doesn’t matter but if the veins are
directional, then you just installed the rotors backwards.
In the video i mention that the caliper piston has to be turned counter
clockwise to push it back in. That was an error I apologize. It should be
turned “clockwise” you can see in the video that I was turning clockwise.
Thanks again for watching. :o)
good vid i’ll look back to this if I decide to replace them myself. How
much did this cost you when it was all said and done?
How are the rotors doing – any cracks? I am thinking about getting these
type of rotors.
if all the drain lines are closed no air will enter the system through the
brake fluid res
How many miles have you put on your new rotors?
Sorry for the lawn mower sound in the background, my neighbor decided to
cut his lawn while I was making the video. I wanted to throw my cross
wrench in his direction, but I knew I would need it yo put my wheels back
on ! Thanks for watching ;o) LOL
Damn neighbors…always one to ruin the party…lol I have a question for
you…I changed my rear brake pads on my ’02 Elantra GT today and didn’t
open the cap to the brake fluid resivoir. I was thinking about it but was
afraid maybe I’d get air in the lines (I’m kinda new at this) brakes seem
to operate fine and fluid level is where it should be. What’s you opinion?
I like the rotors you got…wish I would of done that. How much did you pay
for them? Thanks for your video brother!!!
If you are replacing the rotors, you will still need to push back the
piston on the calipers. For that you will need a special tool. Calipers
close as you press the brakes. With new rotors and pads you will not have
clearance on the caliper to re-install them unless you push the piston
back. Yes you do need new pads with new rotors
and are they ceramic brakes uer putting there
