Top 3 Things To Go Wrong When Doing your Brake Pads

We often feel performing brake work on our vehicles can be a simple process, however, these 3 things that I share with you are some of the most neglected items during the repair process that can get missed.
1. Do NOT reuse brake hardware and ensure all is seated properly.
2. Clean HUB SEAT for new
esurfaced brake rotor
3. Always use TORQUE specs for caliper mounting hardware and lug nuts

I think something not mentioned here that has more nuance to it than it seems is the PROPER lubricating of the guide pins. More is not better, often causing issues with either suck down, where the caliper can't fully release, or having having air trapped inside the guide pin channel which also effects brake operation.

Spot on - great tip !

I've seen some mechanics only clean the guide pins and re-install dry because the lube just picks up dirt as well
