Good video. Suggestion: for high moisture / snow locations brush on thin coat of Antiseize on hub before installing rotors – helps prevents future rusting rotor to hub

Ron Ancherani says:

Great video

Ashley Steinhart says:

Excellent video. I call this guy "The Brake Whisperer." Thank you for using hand tools and providing torque values.

Michael Garcia says:

So take off the cap or not? Just want to make sure and not get air in the system, thanks!

ozzierabbit says:

I've also heard the recommendation to replace the caliper bracket pad slides when replacing pads.

Yonel Chery says:

Great video! Keep it up and thank you!

Matthew Heath says:

Any idea when I reinstalled the caliper bolts, 13:07 of video, the bolts just kept spinning on me. I had my torque wrench set at 20 ft – lbs. I eventually broke one of the bolts off, luckily I was able to get the broken piece out with pliers, and the other bolt, I stripped the threads on it. I used locking pliers too. Any advice before I go at it again would be much appreciated.

tom Macklem says:

I always open the brake bleeder screw when compressing the pistons, long time ago I destroyed my ABS braked system.

angelo lampignano says:

Emilio Gonzalez says:

Those calipers, with those rusty pistons, need some serious R&R. A lot more work, I know. Thanks for the vid!

Mike Zimmerman says:

meticulous video well done.

Frank Han says:

Do you have to do all the actions shown if you just want to replace the brake pads? Can you just buy a set of 8 brake pads and swap them out?

Anthony Guess says:

Please do 2017 outback rear pads and rotors with electric parking brake

Kris Gee says:

4:05 Small bolts for taking off rotor are M8 x 1.25 you can go shorter than 40mm but I bought the longest I could find. Hammer didn't work for me.

Brandon Hart says:

what size are the jacking stud bolts? 12mm or 14mm????

John Cohrs says:

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

flamedub says:

Great video. Professional and easy to follow.
What is the importance of the correct positioning of the caliper guide pins during reinstallation?
