    Since this video is relatively new, I'll just leave this comment just in case anyone is gonna use this video as a reference point.
    The video is good, you included about 90% of the important information in the video but there is 4 things you should have included in video just to make sure everyone has a successful job when they're working on their brakes,
    -First, Use brake cleaner to clean off the grease film off the new rotors before installing them. This grease is used to prevent the rotors from rusting when they're shipped in their boxes. So you definitely don't want to use the rotors when the grease is still on there.
    -Secondly, Open the top off the master cylinder under the hood before you push the caliper pistons back in, doing this will reduce the chance of you blowing a gasket in the master cylinder which is a headache to replace
    -Thirdly but most importantly, Make sure you check your guide pins, this means taking it out and inspecting it, they should be moving freely, you shouldn't have used a hammer to push them back in, I honestly think your guide pins are corroded, this will make your pads wear unevenly and cause your calipers to stick. If you ever get the chance, you should re grease them with some silicone paste
    -Lastly, pump your brakes before you drive off. This will pressurized the brake system to ensure your brakes will actually stop the vehicle when you want it to.

      Great advice. The glide pins on my used 2005 RAV4 were never removed and greased. My calipers froze up which is an expensive job to have done by a mechanic. Now I remove and grease them every time.

    If you need a hammer to drive the caliper pin in, then something is wrong. You need to check the pins for corrosion, added caliper lube or silicone paste to the pin and then inserted it in. Once in, the caliper pins should glide smoothly. You also need to add some brake lube on the part of the brake pads that makes contact with the caliper bracket. No doing so will result in sticky brakes and uneven pad wear.

    Nice video, it's clear and well filmed. Sorry for my English but here are a few small remarks:
    1) Theoretically you should not use a hammer to extract the brake disc. On my corolla, there are two holes in which it is enough to screw 8 mm bolts to extract the brake disc.
    2) practically before reassembling a brake disc, it is absolutely necessary to clean and remove all traces of rust from the surface on which it is mounted.
    3) once the disc is in place and temporarily bolted. It would be necessary to check the ovality and if necessary dismantle it and turn it (to the next bolt, if 5 bolts 1/5 of a turn, if 4 bolts 1/4 of a turn) to find which position minimizes the ovality or that which makes it lower than that specified by the manufacturer. In my case 0.05 mm.
    4) The sliding pins holding the caliper should be inspected and re-greased. Be careful if you dismantle these with the protective bellows. Make sure that these are re-greased with a specific grease and correctly put back in place.
    5) the pad retaining clips may also need cleaning and some special grease.
    6) if the parts are presented correctly, you should not have to use a hammer to put them in place. It should go in easily without forcing.
    7) the back faces of the pads (not those in contact with the disc) or the anti-squeak pads can also receive special anti-squeal grease.
    8) a torque wrench should be used and the tightening torques specified by the manufacturer should be applied. Different tightening torques for the caliper bracket and for the caliper.
    9) the surface of the rim which is in contact with the disc should also be cleaned before reassembly.
    10) and also the new discs must also have been degreased. They are often coated in grease for storage.

    Don't forget the torque specs for each bolt... unscrew the brake fluid container so you don't create pressure when pressing the piston...lubricate the brake pins on the caliper...lubricate the pad beakers to avoid noises...is an easy job with some details

  • @johnleeyingzhang3504
    @johnleeyingzhang3504 Před 10 měsíci +1

    You should add some silicone paste to the caliper slide pin bolts so you dont have uneven brake pad wear. Also, consider putting some copper anti sieze on the brake clips and brush some anti sieze on the hub so that the wheel does not get stuck on the hub. Good video though. You also might need a torque wrench to have an accurate measurement when you torque your wheels.

      Depending on which piece you're referring to, they either keep the pad from shifting around in the caliper, or they have a tab that rubs the rotor when the pad gets low. Not a big deal either way.

    @billjones3168 Před 3 lety

    Why did you replace the rotors? They looked perfectly fine to me (though I couldn't see the back side). When you take it in for brake job they routinely turn the rotors, but if you haven't put in grooves by waiting too long to replace the pads, then the turning or rotor replacement can be skipped. Put 250K on my PU and Honda and never once turned or replaced the rotor.

      @@KJs_Garage The pulsating that happens when hitting the brakes is most often caused by a buildup of brake pad material on the rotors. Sanding the rotor with fine garnet sandpaper will remove the buildup and stop the pulsating. I have put over a million miles on cars and changed brake pads dozens of times, and have never changed a rotor. It's just not necessary unless you've run your pads down to the metal and continued to use them. I've seen a lot of auto shops rip off people by telling their customers that rotors must be changed whenever the pads are changed, which is pure BS.

Postupným utahováním šroubů dojde ke stažení kotouče. Tak jak si to udělal ty hrozí poškození ložiska. 3. Brzdový kotouč se musí před montáží očistit a odmastit.
