I looked into replacing all four of my brakes and rotors. A dealership quoted me nearly a grand before tax. I immediately hung up discovered a brake company called Powerstop. All American made, 3 year 36,000 mile warranty, high ratings, cost around $350 for all four brake pads and rotors. The rest saving up for the kit. And everything else needed. I am getting help from a mechanic.

Linkington says:

Thank you for a very detailed guide on doing this!

auxmike says:

I never knew the rotor came off like that!

Chris v says:

Great video only I wish I saw it last spring when I did my breaks and found out the hard way that I didn’t have to remove the caliper carrier, I wasted more time with the triple square than the whole break job lol

Michael Lyons says:

Thanks man you helped me out today

Mark Archer says:

Nice video dude, I will be replacing my rear pads and rotors tomorrow so this tutorial will definitely help. Hope you had jack stands, and not just the f!imsy OEM jack, for safety

Great video. Remember, pump your brakes for a good while before you drive the car to make sure the brakes are back in the correct position. A neighbor of mine crashed into another neighbors car when he forgot to do this. Backed down his driveway and could not stop. LOL. Funny to the casual observer but not to those involved.

Brett Cragg says:

Great video!

Thank you for confirming that I don't need to remove the caliper carrier, unlike all of the other Mk6 rear brake videos I've seen on here.

Michael LeBlanc says:

You should have used metric wrenches not standard, Vw is metric

ponycarfan says:

Great tutorial – thank you!

Andrew Hepp says:

I ordered a torque spec poster from idparts, it lists the torque for the rear caliper carrier bolts at 26 ft-lbs

Bogdan says:

Hello Bogdan, my name is Bogdan too lol. I got quoted $492 at a volks dealer to replace the rear pads and rotors and I'm like holy crap. I have to find the caliper tool and I'm going to try to do it myself

bmwrooter says:

You didn't list the special caliper wind-back tool you used. Also, it's not just a screwdriver, but a T30 Torx for the set screw. I would add spraying it with penetrating fluid since it is notorious for getting stuck. Nice work otherwise!

Esteban Kozak says:

What does this have to do with Acuras? Are you going to change your channel to "Volkswagon Addicted'?

DashLashBoy says:

Yes! Another great video.
