The video was great and made my job much easier. The only comment/question I have is…since this was the first brake pad change for my 2013 Sentra (only 24,000 miles)…I assume the sensor positions were correct from the factory. Both of my sensors were at the top position from the factory and the new hardware supplied with the new pads only had the sensor prongs on one of the brackets to slide into the sensors on the new brake pads. Your video shows installation with the outer sensor up and the inner sensor down. I didn't know if this was unique to my car or if anyone else had run into this issue.
Great video , I have a problem with my lug nuts being too tight what kind size breaker bar/extendible wrench should I get ? And can I buy the 21mm socket just by it self? Thanks
Awesome video! Definitely giving this a Like. But may I ask what you're doing at 1:50 with a Piston Press? What does this do? And how will I know when it "flushes"?
Can I use a c clamp for the piston?
Great camera work.
Thanks for a great video, I know what my next "Honey Do" is going to be…
Well done.. quick and painless…..
I did exact replacement on a 2014 Altima before this video was out. Did exact same thing, I even had same new brake pads and stands. I just didn't replace the hardware which was probably not a good idea and I didn't lubricate anything. After the initial replace, I developed loud low pitched squeal when breaking at very slow speeds (pulling up and breaking by drive-through for example) I'm not sure why it's doing that but someone suggested might be the rotors or the new pads are touching the rust of the rotors at the ends. I'm going to redo the front and back pads and rotors again soon. I'm just waiting for the kit to arrive (spend $300) For other people watching this.. Make sure you don't skip anything and watch more videos on tips how to do a proper brake job. Also, I recommend that if you are going to to do this yourself (because you want to save money) do yourself a favor and do both pads and rotors for both front and back all at once – Trust me it's better that way. My car is at 60k miles so I feel it's due now. Nissan dealer quoted me about 1000-1500 haha – F*** that!
