And GM wants to charge me $2600, LOL!! I just spent $250 in brake pads and rotors for my fronts. Thanks for that refresher video. 👍🏼
lol same reason I’m here
@@fredbradshaw4308 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
nice vid. i know you have the car secured on jackstands but there is no way i would stick my legs under the car with the wheels off like that.
Good, I'm not the only one thinking that.....
What about any other task where you're actually underneath the car entirely? Oil change, sway bar install, chassis brace, drive shaft, etc etc etc.
If you secure it properly you won’t have anything to worry about...
For fasteners that have a critical torque value, I'd highly recommend using Loctite. I've seen impact torqued fasteners come loose from vibration because Loctite wasn't used. I'd also recommend an actual torque wrench because of bolt stretch over time.
The concern with your approach is that unless the factory indicates to use thread-locking compound, putting it on the fastener affects the torque. The torque numbers are for a dry fastener; not one that is wet with loctite, so you are actually over-torqueing with loctite because it acts as a lubricant until it sets up. The other point is that the way to loosen loctite is by applying heat, so using it on brake calipers, which happen to generate a lot of heat, may not be terribly effective. I recommend using the factory torque spec on clean, dry bolts for brake calipers.
@@MultiEmoto The red loctite needs to be heated up to a temp of 500 degrees. I am not sure how hot the brakes are actually getting during use, but I imagine it is not hot enough. Had to use a torch to get the caliper bolts off (first time coming of). I have always used blue loctite which seems to work better and saves your knuckles getting the calipers off again.
@@benjamincanfield282 You may well be correct about how hot calipers get; I have not measured one. Brake caliper bolts are probably not the most specification-sensitive threaded fasteners in existence, but I still like to install all safety-related things strictly by the book. If I had caliper bolts getting loose, it might mean any of several things, but I might first get new bolts and inspect the receiving threads carefully. YMMV.
Aren't these bolts also torque-to-yield? Making them single use, need to be replaced if removing the caliper. 30ft/lb + 90º
No joke on the man handling the rear caliper. Long breaker bar ladies and gents.
As always top tier how to videos! Awesome channel 👍
Quick tip, you can use your Jack to lift the wrench and break the rear caliper bolts loose.
Somehow every video I watch from you sir have convince me of getting a 2016 Camaro SS!
+Rodrigo Tellez nice!
Lethal I have some questions sir. Is the 2ss worth the extra 5k? Should I my credit rating with the dealer or get pre-approve by my bank?
+Rodrigo Tellez Depends who had the better rates. But worth it? I think so. I wanted all the extras plus leather. I have no regrets
Lethal Thanks for the reply and hint sir.
@Lethalgarage
Hey what Impact Wrench do u have? I picked up one at Walmart and it wont remove Caliper bolts😢
Thank you, never had Brembo brakes before. Wasn't sure how to get the pads off. Shit, that's easy peasy. Again thank you. Now I can get pads that don't dust my rims in 15 minutes of cleaning them, lol.
What's is the torque ft lbs for the brake calipers? Thanks!
Lethal i have a 2017 1ss Camaro and my front brakes squeal and i am thinking of resurfacing the rotors and changing the brake pads which brake pads do you recommend ? Are those brembo? By the way great video very helpfull
What’s the update on this?
There's a light in the dashboard that turns on as well as a code in the computer when you take off the rear brakes. How do you avoid this?
I have a 2022 camaro ss. Need front brake pads the pads you used dont show up for my year did you post wrong part number
I've got a 2017 camaro zl1 manual. The e-brake is a button. What's the process of releasing the brakes to do this job??
If it was me doing the brake job. I would have ordered cross drilled & slotted rotors all the way around from Rockauto probably... I'm doing that to our 2012 T&C mini van, since I'm rough on that vehicle and warp/pulse the front's from time to time... By the way, when are you going to do the pro-charger video, I'm impatient. =)
+Alex O I would pass on drilled, under heavy use they could Crack. Pro-Charger is coming in March.
My pads are fairy worn out, so I went to my mechanic to get a quote in pads. They told me these brembo brakes systems should ONLY use brembo oem parts and the rotors should never be cut because of the amount of heat these generate, the pads would wear out even faster from the amount of metal you are removing from the rotors. They would have to be replaced.
What are your thoughts/experience about this?
Thanks Lethal for your videos. Followed your video for painting my calipers, and thinking about it now I painted over my caliper pins also. Did you have any problems getting them out?
Use a punch and they come right out
with all these mods and price for mods, next one maybe some impact sockets. those chrome ones can crack with the torque from the pneumatic tool and can potentially harm you or someone if you have a video helper. js
+Alex M Nit everyone buys every type of tool. I get the risk, but I am.over it.
One of your best videos to date thanks for the upload!!!
If I'm just doing the rotor lethal I just need to take out pins only right ?
Maybe… honestly not sure, I’ve always taken the calipers off.
Does the officil fifty edition ss have the ss rotors or the zl1 rotors? I got a mechanic telling me chevy put on the heavier rotors on and didn't change the part number on the official fifty edition ss. Do you know?
Did you have any trouble with the rear pads from what you can remember ? I notice the inside pad for the rear do not go all the way through
@lethalgarage thanks for your vids; general info follows: those dang front caliper bolts (from factory i own the car since new. 66k miles now), 2017 camaro 1SS. turns out is 18mm.
\Start my saga: due to limited clearance maxed out my ratchet style torque wrench (150ft-lb). broke easily, then after a few turns, got stuck. then tried an pneumatic impact wrench (,maybe air compressor wasnt pushing enough scfm's) , nope wont go past a certain point. then put some wd40, tried again. nope. gave up. used the torque wrench tighten then up again, just enough so i can the car to my mechanic. goal was to install brand new slotted/drilled Powerstop rotors with low dust Brembo pads. /end of my saga
The back does it have any sensor we have to worry about when changing the back brakes
Another great vid Matt. I was wondering if you were going to mention the TTY bolts.
How did you turn your rotors without messing up the costing
I have a 2018 ss and I know the stock brembo pads don’t use brake and caliper grease.. do these pads need to be greased before they go in?
Did you put lock tight on the bolts? (Caliper bolts) mine came with it stock, how much should you tighten it up?
I have the 1ss 2017 SS convertible I’m tryna order the brakes but the pads I see the weights are like the old brembo not like the ones I see you have or is that the original pads ?
Hey Matt huge fan been a subscriber for a few years. Always look to your channel for mods or maintenance. Are those 5 mm rear spacers? Happy with those do you wish you'd gone wider?
I had 5mm, but dropped to 3mm when I had my 315’s. Now that it is full drag, I don’t run any spacers
@Lethalgarage thx. I'm looking to go 5mm with stock 275 on the rear. For appearance mainly. You were running wider tires when you shot this. Will I still get the same result with 275. Sorry may be a stupid question.
@@chadpugh1490 it will push them out wider for sure
Is your car has electronic parking brake or manual parking brake? I don't actuallu know what is difference
Electronic. The car applies it with a push of. Button over you having to manually pull it
Turned and resurfaced is the same thing right? Never heard anyone use that term before although I am from the other side of the country.
+Tim Chaney it is the same thing.
Just an FYI... it takes a 21 mm socket to remove the calipers, 13/16 will only go on the tip and mess up the bolt.
Notice any brake squeal from your oem set up? I have a 18 ZL1 and noticing a ton of noice with apx 3000 miles
Determined Veteran brotha all i do is squeak 🤦🏾♂️
@@Chevylaluz did you change them out yourself?
@ lethalcamaro what are your thoughts on slotted power stop rotors to replace the stock on the 6gen camaro ss?
Joshua A. Plain rotors will give you better stopping power
How can you have a torque wrench right in front of you but use the air impact instead? Aren’t those bolts steel into aluminum?
Because the air tool fits....
Matt - I'm curious how your refinished rotors held up long-term. I've heard it's advisable to replace rather than refinish. I'm needing to do something about mine because they're warped.
Depends on what you want to spend. but they held up for another brake cycle and than I replaced.
Do you still use the same brakes now with new upgrades to your car?
Would this be the same for any trim of the camaro within those years listed in the video?
No, standard brakes are a little different. Not that many videos on non-Brembos.
czcams.com/video/cUWj9zd_oCY/video.html
Whats the size of the bolt to remove the rear caliper
So i called in for a price range on my 2015 camaro rear breaks. They gave me a quote for $395. Would you recommend I do them myself. Would it be cheaper?? I also have all the tools needed.
It would be a lot cheaper
Any reason for not going w/ slotted disc brakes?
What brand/type and size in mm is the socket you used to take off the caliper, can’t seem to find it.
I am not sure, that was so long ago
@@Lethalgarage i think you say 13/16; but 2017 is smaller.
Thanks!
Do these come with both (passenger and driver side) brake pads ? For the rear and front ? Hope you can get back to me soon
Front and rear are separate sets, but they come with both sides
LethalGarage cool so they come with four on each pack ? Thank you boss
I tried to replace my rotors on my last car using hand tools. I stripped the one screw on the hub (Don't use a screwdriver). Luckily it was the first one so I wasn't 3 in. I ended up calling it day after that LOL. I bet the next owner was PISSED when they went to have them replaced.
+James Friedman ha, we'll that suxks.
Love your videos man! Keep up the good work. Quick question, I been looking around but I can’t seem to find a solid answer. I’m looking at replacing my stock calipers on my 3.6 L 2LT/RS with Brembo. I’ve read that the front ones can be replace with a 4 piston but I’m not so sure about the rear. I’ve seen some 4 piston for the rear but not sure if it will fit.
Good question. I know the front fit, but also am unsure about the rears.
Hi, about to perform the exact same maintenance on my car this week. Quick question : After you’ve remove the old brake pads and retaining clip, how were you able to swivel your wheel assembly left to better access the rear of the caliper and remove the bolts attaching it to the rotor? I noticed that all four tires had been removed, so were you able to do this because your car in neutral?
Do you install braided stainless steel brake lines?
I have a set of 2013 CTS-V calipers (front and back), I have been told they will fit a Camaro, just curious if you heard of anyone swapping them out? I am debating on getting a Camaro SS and watching your channel is making Jones to get one and do some mods. What pads are you going with that don't dust?
+cw2lido power stop z26. Not sure about the cts-v brakes
The CTS-V front rotors and 6 piston calipers are the same as the ZL1 and they can be swapped over to any 5thGen Camaro but I would also upgrade to ZL1 wheel bearings if you plan on tracking your car for the extra durability they offer.
Wow that is $44 well spent. Rotors look so nice ! Did you paint those calipers on the car or did you take them off to paint them?
+Bryan Monkarsh I painted them on the car. Look up my G2 kit
Thanks man ! I definitely want to do mine Blue !
How many miles were on your pads before you replaced them?
Hey lethal what kind of rotors are they
And of you have a link to the punch pin tool, would be great as well.
Any punch tool set will work. Amazon sells sets pretty cheap
LethalGarage okay, thank you.
What tool did you use to take the pins out , can you attach an amazon link to me please, i never done brakes before want to try thank you.
Just a small punch and a hammer
@@Lethalgarage what brakes and rotors are you running now with all that power you got?
I'm looking to replace my rotors (I have Brembo calipers). I wanna know, do I need to compress the pistons and open the bleed valve, or can I just push the pistons back to remove the pads? Or even, can I just remove the caliper from the rotor with the pads intact and just put the caliper back on the new rotor?
Only time you should open the valve is if you are bleeding fluid out for a flush or if you replace a brake line.. or a caliper. If doing a normal routine brake job, the valve stays closed.
I got the brake upgrade on my 2016 2ss. Do you happen to know the pt# for the powerstop pads?
Adam Lord do not get Powerstop pads. They are cheap and you get what you pay for. Had bad experiences with them. Get at least Hawk or something similar.
I haven’t had any issues with Power Stops products
Which rotors did you go with?
Great stuff as usual! Going to do mine next weekend . I can assume the new retaining clip is either totally idiot proof or a pain in the ass because installing it kinda got skipped 😆
You can see on the front where I slide it in and pushed down on the bottom when sliding in the bottom pin.
You’re a beast ! It appears my ‘19 poor guy 1ss had thread locker on the caliper bolts maybe I should put a dab on the bolts . I never have used loctite on much of anything
Also you don’t have to collapse the caliper pistons before putting in the pads ? I’m just trying to make sure this goes smooth because I usually screw something up
@@robjohnson6747 depends on your setup. In most cases you can push them in easily.
Did you need any compression tool for the calipers?
I think most of the time you need a compression tool
Hey lethal.
Been looking to replace my rear rotors and pads. Seen to keep on ordering the wrong ones
May you pls give me the right size and parts number or even link so i may order them.. thanks ! keep the good vids coming
Why do you mark caliper bolts?
So you can line them back up to where they were. These are TTY bolts.
How much of that brake fluid would you need
What size are the stock rotors
I’m hella dumb for this but when you do the back does the parking brake need to be off? Lol😅
I would suggest it.
my stock calipers are fading... where did you get the red ones from?
+Tbis2399 G2 kit from Amazon
Lethal they look awesome. that's a terrifying diy job for me. i was never good at painting in art class
I only have 800 miles on my SS, should I still get my rotors turned?
So theres no break mode? U gotta set the car into?
?
@Lethalgarage I was changing the breaks on a 2019 Chevy silverado ltz rear breaks. The front breaks didn't need to be put into break mode, but as I was changing the break pad, I found out u gotta put the truck into break mode it decompressed the piston in the calibers. So when u use a c-clamp to push it back in it goes in well I didn't know if had to be in break mode so it blew the piston out of the caliber and I'm just worried for when I change the breaks on my camaro I don't have to put it into any mode to change the breaks/rotors on the rear
@@tzvk24 Camaro doesn’t need to do any of that
@@Lethalgarage thanks
Are those the same 4 the 2ss 1le
No, the 1LE has red calipers that are 6pot
Thanks a lot for your tuto 👍
Additional info you WILL need regarding front only. 2016 SS. It's a great video but what Lethal Garage does not show you clearly and explicitly is there are 4 smaller bolts on the back of the caliper. DO NOT take those out. I did take them out and then the caliper began leaking brake fluid. I am not referring to the "bleeder" screw. There are two rather large hex head bolts on the back that you do need to take out to get the caliper off. They are both the same size. On the head of the bolt they read "SFP 10.9". I used a 13/16ths socket and big ratchet to get them out. I had to put a break over bar on and use a 2 pound hammer on the break over bar to get the bolts loose. The slide pins that hold the pad clips are both the same size, there is no difference in top and bottom pins. If you have never done brake pads before then I do not recommend this job for for you as it is a few degree more difficult than most brake pad changes I have done on other vehicles. I did both the pads and rotors this time and it was a bitch. The rotors were rusted and seized to the hub big time. I had to hammer with that 2 pound sledge to bust the rotors loose and get them off. If you screw up the little screw that holds the rotor and cant get it out then just drill it out. If you're the type that doesn't like a pain in the ass then I recommend that you don't do it. If you don't mind a real PITA and dropping a few dozen F-Bombs then go ahead.
Why would you ever take the bleeders out? Not needed to Shane pads…
@@Lethalgarage I didn't say bleeders. The bleeder screw is one single screw and faces up with a rubber seal. I am talking about the 4 bolts on the back. Not the single bleeder screw.
@@artkyger3425 technically their are 4 bleeder screws. Not even sure why you would even try take those other bolts off. I clearly show all you need to remove here.
Us men know how to find holes 😎🤙🏽
Am i tripping or the knuckle bolt holes that hold the caliper have no threads
The calipers are threaded and the bolt passes through the knuckle into the caliper.
@@Ez-sk8ig good looking...once i saw that i felt stupid wasnt pating to much attenion
My new brake pads won’t slide in. It doesn’t look like it fits
What kind of brake pads are they again?
PowerStop Z26
Whats the rear caliper bolt size?
he says 13/16 in video; but that size is too big on my 2017
Trying to do this right now and it is a bitch. Working one rear driver for like 3 hours now. Brake pads don't want to go back in.
why didn’t you mention what bolt size and tool you need for the caliper bolt 🥴
thanks for attempting to help, maybe next time think of including the location of the rear bolts and their sizes as those are the only parts we cant see and theres like 92738 bolts back there
Not really fond of using the marker...most stores will loan you a torque wrench if you don't have one..later in the video I see you have one and didn't even use it to put the calipers back.
Can I have your old pads mine are shot
Thumbs Up. Great video.....
The metal clip at 12:58?
@@Lethalgarage Yah he skips showing how it fits in and after the ad the video shows the clip already in
@@artkyger3425 he = me. Just slide the clip behind the pins.
I was watching you do this video and when you got to the rotors I was like what the f*** are you talking about turned?🤔 most people call it resurfacing😏
I was like: Sears?!
Oh the video is 6 years old
I don't understand why people do car work in flip flops. Gonna lose a toe at some point. Breaking lose bolts with a torque wrench is also a bad idea. Indexing the suspension bolts is also a bad idea. They stretch. Use that torque wrench and some blue loctite on suspension bolts. You don't want them coming out.
Knew a guy who wore steel toes, car feel off the stand onto his foot, steel toe cut all his toes off. Instead of probably the one tow he would of lost wearing flip flops 🤣
@@Lethalgarage Yeah. That sounds like something that didn't happen. I just wear shoes. Watch Epsiode #42 of mythbusters. That myth is busted.
@@bdbeckstrand it actually did. Come on down I’ll introduce you to the fellow.
can you tell me part # for a 2017 zl1
Front - Z26-1835 / Rear - Z26-1053
You don't have to take the calipers off...
My bad...forgot you were rotating the rotors. Great content.
How do I change my Flux capacitor?
Good video.... except for the background music which was AWFUL. Dump the music, it's not required for a brake change. Thanks.
Love the White Car
#sslife #chevyssnotsedan
$11 a rotor for turning? No wonder Sears went out of business.
Bro after watching this video I almost drove over to the nearest location just to see. But then I ended up talking myself out of it because I couldn’t get anyone on the phone 😂😅🤣
You should pay me to come do the work for you while you just narrator
Yeah, I’ll pay what the video earns... about $2 lol
Or buy a torque wrench....
Good choice on brakes… awful, and I mean AWFUL choice on background music. Makes the video unwatchable.
Is that annoying background music really necessary ?
it adds nothing to the video
+Michael Miccio you would be surprised
Why the gay music?
Ohh, NM , u have a big strong Kyle.
I’m super happy in life.
