Just changed my brake pads now. Thank you for teaching me how. Saved me 450 dollars from the mechanics

[riteskills]

did this yesterday... they do mention the rust build-up under the clips, but greatly underestimate it. There was so much rust build-up where the clips sit that it took me half hour of heavy filing to clean it up. You can't do it with just a wire brush. The old rear pads were in pristine condition simply because they got stuck in the caliper bracket pushed by the rust. So much for my mechanic's work.. when you want something done - diy
great vid, thanks!

If you incorrectly thought it was the front brakes, then moved to check the rear brakes, make sure to DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE before removing the disc drum combo rotor! Dont ask how I know.

[macker]

Minor thing, appears you didn't orient the rotor so the parking brake adjuster was accessible. Would require you to remove the rotor and re-orient if you needed to adjust the parking brake.

Noticed a couple things. I have never got the rear rotor off without backing off the parking brake shoes. This will be especially true if the car has been driven with the parking brake on. I also coat the flat of the hub and the hub flange with a thin coat of high temp grease such as wheel bearing grease. Whoever takes the rotor off the next time will sure appreciate it.

Now that was a very thorough and informative video.
Thanks

[gustavette]

Great video. Question: what is that small rubber cap on the rotor? I believe there is an adjustment under that cap, but have not seen anyone actually using this?

[WalrusWillpower]

Andy you have saved me so much money thank you

[singdo]

missing the brake fluid bleeding part during the brake replacement wonder if it is necessary?

[elv]

I didn't see where the wear indicator was installed. where does it go?

[TheGoofy]

Don’t ever spray brake cleaner down the guide pin boot; it’ll swell the rubber boot making water and debris entering and corrosion will occur and premature brake pad wear.

[Jemstk]

I don't know if I told you but thanks broski 🙏 ypu teaching me so much

[donaldedwards]

Great video. But did you forget to put on the little clips that squeal when the pad is worn?

[brianpiersol]

What about those 2 springs that go into the pads to help hold the bads away from the rotor? didn't see them in vid...

[jimbernard]

Excellent. Thanks. Doing this this weekend.

[wolfganghokenmaier]

Just what I needed to know. Thank you.

[richiesyt]

OK thanks this may sound nuts but in another video when doing fronts they said to take the cap off the brake fluid container as this will avoid any air or pressure in the brake line....thank Vin I will advise.

[Hawk-qnzk]

E brake adjustment? I came to see how to do that.

[BTL.]

Is it not necessary to replace the brake shoes?
