I appreciate that this youtuber is showing you him fixing his car and may not be interested in educating you on how to do this correctly, and to be clear, i do enjoy watching Rob doing his different projects. If you're watching and want to do this job, then do these things differently. 1st, using a wheel brace or a bar and socket, before the car is jacked up,to just loosen the wheel bolts/nuts slightly about a 1/4 to 1/2 turn and do not remove them, then jack up the car and remove the bolts/nuts and wheel. If you know your impact, gun is powerful enough to remove the wheel nut/bolt without any loosening, then you can just jack up the car and remove the wheel. 2nd before you remove the brake hole from the calliper, clamp it off so you don't lose all the fluid in the master cylinder or keep having to topping it up (be careful as brake fluid will strip paint and can damage other component). If you lose all the fluid in the master cylinder, you may have to bleed all the brake to make sure there is no air in any of the lines. But if you clamp it off, you just need to make sure there is sufficient fluid in the master cylinder and then bleed the air out of the calliper, although most if not all manufacturers recommend replacing all the fluid enery 2or 3 years and so it may be worth bleeding all the brakes at this time if it has not been done. 3rd, it's not shown, but you will need to adjust the hand brake shoes. otherwise, you may have too much hand brake travel. 4th, you should not use copper grease on your brakes anymore as copper grease can cause problems with abs sensors the correct grease can got online or from a good car parts company, and these pads do not need any type of grease on the back as the have a liner on unlick the pads we used to use 20 odd years ago. 5th never use copper grease in the calliper sliders as this will seaze them over time. There is again a different grease for these you can get again off the Internet or a good parts supplier. 6th, when bleeding the brakes manually, it is best to have someone helping you on the brake pedal, helping you remove all the air out of the system, again brake fluid can strip paint and damage other component so be careful. You should use a brake bleed container to catch this and dispose of it. If brake fluid has leaked onto any component or body work, use warm/hot water to remove it immediately. Be careful when doing this in the engine bay so as to avoid getting water in/on any electrical equipment and connectors and especially the brake master cylinder as brake fluid is hygroscopic, it will tend to absorb water and moisture and cause your brakes failure and will need to be replaced immediately.
