I just pull the calipers off so I can load them on the bench. I am amazed that you would use those greasy gloves around the new pads. The rotors have to be cleaned of all cosmoline with brake cleaner prior to installation. The calipers can be bled by the gravity method since the MC is higher than the calipers. bleed till new clean brake fluid comes out of your tubing into a jar. Leaving the old brade fluid in is a bad idea IMHO, better to replace No need to do the pump and pray method. LOL. Oh and if your new pads have ears on two of them, they go inboard. There is a good tip on another site that explains this.

I have a 2004 heritage with a 4.2 L engine and they keep trying to give me the brake calipers and rotors you have there. The heritage was basically an old body style as you know but how can I get the right hardware.

Thanks for the video, this got me though my first time changing out my rotors. One thing I would suggest however is adding to the description that this video only pertains to 4WDs. I found this out when I got to the point where I needed to remove the rotors and everything was different on my '05 than the '05 in the video. After researching online, I discovered that the rotors for a 2WD is a one piece rotor and hub assembly rather than a separate rotor as in the video.

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. I watched the video again to confirm I followed all the steps and yep. I did not miss any of the little details. I only wish I didn't waste my time getting the rotors turned. They took forever, and the results were less than perfect because they were badly scraped.

I'm sure you already did this – but for those who might be doing this job – be sure to use a brake cleaner on the rotors. There will be a film of oil on the rotors to prevent corrosion during shipping and storage. Very important step. Also – do not allow any grease or oil to touch the friction surface of the pads during the install.

thanks, this video help me tremendously last weekend, just wish I had known that my front wheel drive 2008 had bearings included in the rotor assembly before I spent 30 mins trying to beat it off.
