Great video…one thing you might mention that you should remove the brake reservoir cap before you push in the caliper piston as to release the air making it easier for the piston to go in
Great DIY. Can you let me know where I can buy the rotor puller tool? Thanks
Where did you get that rotor puller tool? Iv been looking for it but cant find it. Good DIY post.
Great video mate. Thank you.

Suggestion for next time – take your caliper off separately from the bracket and service the caliper slide pins. Seized slide pins are one of the most common failures. At every pad change, inspect to ensure slider pins move freely, then clean and lubricate the pins at each brake job. Always use a silicone based high temp lube for the pins.
Also, don’t forget to take out some brake fluid if it’s full before compressing your pistons. All in all, great instructional video.
anti-sieze doesn’t belong anywhere it can melt and/or migrate onto braking surfaces. That’s why they make high temp brake lube for moving or slide points. Back of the brake pad- I think you are looking for a product that dries gummy, called Anti-squeal, not antisieze compound. A very light film of antisieze can be put on the rotor/hub flange to keep it from rusting on like you demonstrated. great on lug nuts too.
How do you tell for sure whether your rotors are the type that require brake clean? Is there a better system other than see if they’re sorta shiny? Will it say on the box?
Nice work guys
@DIYautotech I replaced my front pads on my 98 saturn sl1 but it still squeelz. imma do a better job cleaning them after work .Nice video.
