Thank you sir! What is the little hole in the rotor for?

Bernard King says:

Have a rattling noise and rear brake what could it possibly be for 2003 Nissan exterior

Don’t know if the comments covered this but please inspect grease and or replace as needed your caliper guide pins/boots.

Hung caliper will wipe out your new brakes and rotor quick fast and in a hurry.

Wildman Crowe says:

Hey, so are the shoes in the drum just for the parking brake? So if I need to replace my brakes as in I'm having trouble slowing down, I only need to replace the brake pads in the caliper and maybe I could take a look at the shoes and if they look like shit I could think about replacing them? Good video BTW, very thorough

I had to go with the two-wrench trick to crack mine, but a deadblow would've been so much easier…

Thanks for the tutorial, some good tips , hardest part was the shoes tie down springs

Can you use some of that lithium grease on the inside of the star adjusting barrel to keep the threads lubed.

Is it necessary to replace the disk/drum when doing to pads and shoes or is it only required if the disk are worn or damaged?
