You have no idea how much your video just help me! My brakes are squealing two weeks ago and I have been out sick from work, so I decided to do it myself never realizing it would be that simple until I watched your video. My truck is doing great now and so am I lol thank you and God bless from the Bayou
Yes exactly right! For those who think oh well maybe next time. Imagine the rotor coming down on your shin and cutting it in half. How you gonna pump the brakes on that or anytime there after.
You can also take off the top caliper support bolt the t55 instead of compressing the pistons before removing the caliper. The caliper will swivel down releasing the brake pads easily. Then you can compress it with any c clamp.
When you compress the caliper so that you can get the old brake pads our, the brake fluid will push backwards thru the system back into the reservoir. You need to remove the cap so that it doesn't build up pressure and possibly damage the cap. Start by taking the cap off, and removing some of the brake fluid, so that it doesn't over-flow. You should not need to bleed the brakes, as long as you don't get air into the the brake lines. As long as the reservoir has fluid in it at all times, you should be ok. Your most likely problem with this type of brake pad change is pushing excess fluid backwards and overflowing the reservoir. You usually only need to bleed brakes when you drain the brake lines. I hope that helps!
Dude just do the job..you don't have to explain job site safety! Most people are trying to get their job done qwik..and then you skipped the part on how you actually put pads on..lol ..the reason for video is for people who never has done a brake job..just write a book Jesus..too much nonsense..

Jack stands are a must never do a break job without stands

I just use the old brake pad and a c-clamp to push the pistons in. Ensures they get pushed in evenly.

Thanks for the video man. I accidentally stripped that top torx bolt, but the way you did it was perfect for that.
Thanks for showing how to use the C clamp.
Turn the steering wheel 45% for easier access and use a breaker bar.
Use one of your old brake pads to plunge your caliper pistons back in.
Do both at one time with c clamp, fyi
thanks my dude
Merci ,, bon professeur BLAINVILLE Québec Canada
Nice video and simple explanation. Thanks.
you should ALWAYS turn the rotors or replace them, too! otherwise, great job bubb.
I changed my brakes and now I'm getting vibration when driving. It comes and goes. What do you think it is?
Are you supposed to grease the clips?
So by taking the cap off of the brake fluid reservoir you dont have to bleed them?

Thank you.. I just did my front pads and need to do the rear next..
Displacement
Put a rag into the hole once you remove the cap. That way it’ll soak it up. I couldn’t find a “ lay dell “ small enough to get down in there.
@GIGalways thank u for explaining that clearly
Thanks 👍🏾
This was a terrible video the thing that someone needs to see to know what to do you skipped right over them
You heloed me out
Does not seem very safe.
Amateur... where's the Jack stands? That Jack is not to be used while working on a vehicle. Lucky for you, it didn't fall on you.

Better safe than sorry
