could you please put a description for the tools used for the job, I needed to know the size of the bolts used to take the rotors off, thank you

[jayman]

Nothing dramatically different from any other brake job ... Thanks for posting this video I was hoping for no surprises 😊

Always put anti seize grease around the bolts before intalling the new rotor.

Where do we find the two little screw to remove the rotor?

Do you have to replace the brake pad sensors when replacing the pads and rotors?

[mwood]

thanks for the tutorial. I have to do this brake job soon. btw, are you supposed to put brake grease on the ends of the brake pads, metal clip area???

What is that funny clip on the brake pad. Some kits have that clip on all the pads while other don't. My pads have that clip on all the pads plus mine had a extra arm or tab. Not sure what they are for. You pointed to the clip but didn't make any commentary about it.

What is the size of the two bolts you use to push the rotor off of the hub? I'm sure that they are a metric, but which?
Thanks!

No torque settings on the caliper brackets?

[earvinbalanquit]

What are the sizes of two bolts that you used for taking the rotor out?

[imperfect_Visions]

Do you need to use the screws to remove the rotor? If so what size are they?

[jessepowers]

There’s an easier tool to take the rotor off, it’s called a BFH.

[krisc]

Do you need those bolts to take off the rotor, or is that just so that way it's easier to take off the rotor in case it's stuck in there?

[saintdismas]

No idea where you got the two bolts for the rotor. And I'd have appreciated hearing what lubes and sprays you were using. The spray appears to be carb cleaner.

Why does this type of car need to have the rotors replaced along with the break pads? Why was it designed to replace both at the same time, not just the brake pads?

[Sinn]

Isn't there something you have to do with the E-Brake before removing the rear rotor?

[imranshah-llwk]

I liked how you bleeded out valve by pressing cliper

[macduff]

After pumping the brake pedal you must top up the brake fluid in the master cylinder....

[DopestBartholomewPrice]

This video would have been much better adding sizes of wrenches needed

[williamlit]

Can you push the piston back without releasing the bleeder screw?
