How to Replace Front Brakes 2007-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

Buy Now!

This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2007-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.

This repair was done on a 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander GT 3.0L Sport Utility 4-Door and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
2008 Mitsubishi Outlander
2009 Mitsubishi Outlander
2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander
2012 Mitsubishi Outlander
2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

Tools you will need:
• Dead Blow Hammer
• Drill
• Brake Grease
• Brake Parts Cleaner
• Bungee Cord
• Dust Mask
• Rust Penetrant
• Safety Glasses
• Drain Pan
• Large C-Clamp

By opening the bleeder, don't you allow air to enter the system? Would not opening the brake fluid reservoir cover approach the same without allowing air in?

[alarmstrong]

If you undo the master cylinder cap that’ll allow the pistons to be pushed back rather than undoing the bleed valve .

Great video. This is the second video I watched. I appreciate that you explained issues that we could run into getting the rotors off. I will be doing mine in my gravel driveway with a jack. In the first video that I watched, the mechanic was using a super clean vehicle with no rust and like new rotors and he made it sound so easy but who is going to be replacing rotors is they are still pristine. Mine is a 2017 Outlander Sport and it requires a tool to slide the caliper back to its home position, a c-clamp wont work. Thanks so much.

The caliper pin with the rubber seal goes where? On top or bottom?
