Plain and simple straight to the point! Thank you for not over explaining everything like 90 % of the video's on here...You rock!

Some of these people that think they are car mechanics should either read up on this or just stay far away from their vehicle plain and simply!!!! And some think they know everything and you can't tell them anything. You are100% right on explaining what not to do and what to do the RIGHT way. Thanks for the video.

I put in a caliper last week. Heard grinding driving down the street. Took the wheel off bolts that held slide pins came out. I went and got new bolts and tightened the crap out of them.

Thank you for less talk and getting right to the matter that was my concern. Good video!

[AwesomenessIskey]

Very true. I made that mistake several times and always replaced the bolt. I never seen one get seized though. It usually just stretches or breaks. They are usually m8 bolts and torque range from 20-25 ft/lbs many cars less.

Subscribed and liked. A 1 min video on YouTube instead of 22 mins to explain the same thing... Thanks you!!!!

I have a 1986 f150, and it has clips instead of bolts that hold the calipers to the bracket, but the reason my brakes are dragging, is that the calipers dont move back and forth...i needed a hammer to get them in...so now i think i know what to do now. Thank you so much guys!

[thomaspotemciano]

Thought I had a faulty caliper. Turns out I just "reefed" the slider bolts with the Milwaukee lol good video for idiots like me

[hoselrocket]

This video helps alleviate my worry about not tightening a caliper pin bolt quite up to spec. I thought the spec on my 2016 Nissan Rogue was 22 ft-lbs (so thats' what I did) but I just re-read and now see it's 25 ft-lbs. I was going to take the wheels off an retighten to 25 but it sounds like I shouldn't worry about it?

[JohnBradydoesstuff]

What happens if I accidentally overtighten it? Will it mess up the caliper? I’m just learning to work in my car so please feel free to laugh if that’s a dumb question. I just did my front brakes and I’m afraid I may have over done em.
Thank you for all your videos. You’re a godsend.

[darthporkius]

If robocop had brakes they would look like that. lol

[bilokenneth]

That's video make sense, thanks.
On my service manual it said only tighten 17 - 19 ft lb, I afraid it will become loose and affect the brake.... After watching this video, I know those bolt do nearly nothing at all, just holding the guide pin and it is nothing to worry about :O Besides, do you think I can use thread locker for it?

Good Vid, Simple Explanatory, Helpfull, Thanx

When I was in my friend's shop learning those, they did not even use a torque wrench, just use a regular 3/8, tight it to feel nice and tight and that is it. You definitely don't need to tighten it like a mad dog!
