If you don’t know that the “clip” is the brake wear sensor, you shouldn’t be making tutorial videos. This is basic knowledge that anyone doing this work should know. Leaving rusty caliper clips and not inspecting and/ or lubricating the caliper pins is a big mistake. Use a torque wrench or proper length ratchet and not a hammer. Seriously, bust a brake line by pumping the brakes? Also, you should never put the c-clamp on the brake line screw. I can go on and on, but I think I made my point.
Good video, helped me do the job in 20 minutes. Also The brake pad tool (cube) is necessary and to push the piston in the way he did it is a headache. Buy the tool for 12 bucks.
The clip is soft metal. When the brake pads wear down far enough to need replacing, then, when you step on the brakes, the metal clip will begin to scrape on the brake rotor. The scraping makes a racket warning you that its time to replace the brake pads. Sometimes the scraping noise sounds like raspy scraping, but it may make a chirping noise instead. On one car I owned, it made a chirping sound whenever I went around a corner.

Literally called "the squeal pin"
Thanks for the great video! Is disconnecting the parking brake cable unnecessary?
Very thorough and intuitive. I'd pay him to do my brakes!
Never an excuse not to use jack stands. They are to hold the car not the caliber
The clip on the inner pads is what causes the squealing to signal it's time to replace them.
Bad Ideas, Bad Job, Looks Worse than done by Walmart or Jiffy lube . Very Lazy to Use the Jack, No Grease at all, Wow.
