Thanks for this video. The tang that sits against the caliper bracket was throwing me off and I installed the pads with the tang inside the caliper and it was scraping the rotor and your video was the only one that clearly showed how it’s supposed to be installed lol. Thanks so much

Pretty good video but I hope you cleaned the rotor and got all of the brake grease off of it before putting the pads on or the brakes more than likely will not work, Just a thought..

I’ve got a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek and want to check the pads. I was told you can lift the vehicle to place jack stands at the jack points by placing a lift under the rear differential.

When should you turn the rotors? I've heard it helps with brake life if you refinished them.

Simple and easy to follow.

Are you supposed to use the old back plates from the pads and swap them onto the new ones? Or should you only use whatever comes with the new pads? Seems illogical to put old hardware on new pads?

I’ve heard it’s better to use no grease than too much grease. Use sparingly!

Hi, what's the torque amount you used on the 14mm bolts?

This is way easier than changing brake pads on Electric emergency brakes.

Hi, instead of a multi purpose grease, do you this is better to use the copper-paste?

I've always been on the fence with applying lube to the metal slides. It's going to attract a lot of dirt and brake dust. Plus, they don't do it from the factory.

When do we bleed the brakes, is it necessary?

Shouldn't the brake fluid be changed as well ? (bleeding the brakes and replacing the fluid)
