Thank you for your video. I just installed my brake pads, and they are working great. Just a little note. As many of us, I watched different videos on doing the work, and even when the videos ALWAYS SHOW how the bottom pad tab is positioned to push in the pin while inserting it, no video has any warning, highlighting the importance to do ti in that manner. I ended up doing the work twice when I figured that some of mine ended up with the pin on top of the pad.
Your making the world a better place.
Aw thanks so much :)
Yup
This is a gem of a DIY video. Straight to the point. No nonsense, like that camera work.
This is one of the most informative UA-cam videos I have ever watched for both the rear wheel and front brake pads! Short, concise and detailed! Thank you!
Wow thanks Steve, means so much to hear that!! :)
@@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS1zw
Just found your video and changed my brake pads All By Myself and was amazed how easy it was to follow your steps and complete the work in about 45 min....kéep in mind this was my first time taking on this challenge. Thanks for your informative video. Will be changing my rear brakes next.
So glad to hear that :) thanks so much
Great video, short and simple and to the point. The only thing I would say that is missing and crucial is differentiating the top and bottom slide bolts/pins.
This video deserves a grammy
Thank you! Now I’m a pro at changing these, saving myself hella money
I didn’t go for it. But auto shops been quoting me just for brake pad changes. Front and rear axles. Not rotors. Just pads. $550-$650. The lowest was $360. Lmao. I just changed my brakes myself after watching this. And I was able to buy the premium pads because I didn’t have to pay for labor. Thanks for the video. A lot more simple than I thought. Fuck automo shops. UA-cam is king!
Awesome! I couldn’t believe how much I was paying for something that I honestly had no trouble doing myself. I’m so glad to hear you felt the same way! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
MINUTE DIY VIDEOS no problem man. If I could add a suggestion. Your videos are great. Hope to see more Altima DIY vids.
Thanks God this vids exists...and good people making them. Btw guys...is it SO necessary the piston press step?
Javier González yes the piston clamp is necessary. You can get a clamp from any auto store though. I got one from autozone same day I bought my pads. You do have to press the piston back into place.
Nice video man, always love it when someone goes straight to the point .
Thank you!
An excellent how to video!!! Just the right amount of dialogue I might add, outstanding!
Thank you for this video. I just replaced my brake pads on my 2013 Altima today watching your video. It helped a lot. Especially the "sensor" part of the brake pads.
Just had to replace the pads on all 4 on wheels. This just saved me $300. Thank you so so much!!!
I always pop hood open reservoir cap where you put the brake fluid. So I don’t have to bleed my brakes.
You don't have to bleed the brakes unless you're removing the brake lines from the calipers.
Great video. My fiancé has a 2015 Altima and I will be changing out her pads this week. I was flushing her brake fluid but the 1/4” hose that I used on my Honda Accord sport and her back brakes is too big for the front bleeder screws. I’m going to have to try and see if I can find a smaller hose, not sure of the size though
Great video I'll let you know how everything turns out!❤😂
The video was great and made my job much easier. The only comment/question I have is...since this was the first brake pad change for my 2013 Sentra (only 24,000 miles)...I assume the sensor positions were correct from the factory. Both of my sensors were at the top position from the factory and the new hardware supplied with the new pads only had the sensor prongs on one of the brackets to slide into the sensors on the new brake pads. Your video shows installation with the outer sensor up and the inner sensor down. I didn't know if this was unique to my car or if anyone else had run into this issue.
I did my pads yesterday on my 2015 and sensors were at the top.
Detailed and straight to the point... Very good sir
Great video. Short and right to the point!
Just remember to check the brake fluid level after doing it this way don't fill before you do it this way .witch is the easiest way but yeah that's how i do mine you don't have to bleed them unless the slender is leaking or you undo the brake line so simple glad to see someone else doing it this way good video and great quality keep it up
Simple and straightforward, Thank You.
Yes quick n easy. Thank you very much for the video.
Excellent camera work.
Thanks for this. One small problem, there was an edit that skipped about 2 seconds showing the bracket removal. I was trying to see where the clips slid in and had to slo-mo and still couldb't see it because it was skipped. But over all you saved me a few hundred bucks so thanks!
Great video!!! concise and to the point!!! Thank you for the post!
Thank you!
These videos are perfect just straight to the point
Thank you for your help. Some how I stripped out the top bolt on the caliper. Now I have to replace the caliper. I think I’ll clean the bolts off and use the lube like you did for the back breaks from now on. 🤷🏼♂️
Your video editing is superb
Wow thank you :)
Make sure you pump your brakes several time before driving it
Great vid, easy to understand
Well done.. quick and painless.....
Thank you so much B)
Great camera work.
Thanks so much! Really made my day :)
Is this video valid for 2015 Nissan Sentra?
BTW I love this video because it contains nothing but "meat". No blah-blah-blah, no making video longer and wasting viewers' time. Excellent!
Yes it will be basically the same! Thank you so much :)!!
Then I'd suggest adding all models for which it is valid in the title, so Google showed it up for anyone who is wondering how to do the thing.
IIIiIiIiIIIlliI a 2015 Sentra would be different. The rear brakes are actually drum brakes.
The only thing I can say is he didn't grease the two sliders where the 14mm goes in but everything else is correct also before he pushed that piston in you should have pop the hood and open the break cap so he will be pushing pressure back on it if you don't call air get inside the system
i love no nonsense..this is no nonsense... a101, b101, c101,.....done... by lunch time. ...im buyin.
I’m trying it this weekend!
I removed my OEM brake pads and the sensor was up on both sides. I replaced it the way the video described with no issues. Car brakes fine.
This was what I needed 🔥👍
Thank you
Thanks for a great video, I know what my next "Honey Do" is going to be...
That's great! HDIY Honey Do It Yourself ;) hahaha
Thanks !!! Helped me out in a pinch!!
Great video. I guess if you change brakes on one car you have changed them on all. I just stop by to see how to do it on this Nissan. I never torqued the caliber bolts. But Ol well why not. Thanks again
Thank you for the great demo.
Your video is amazing! Excellent view and description...ty!
Thanks so much that means a lot :)!!
Thanks best video on here no nonsense love it
Good vid! Ty sir :)
*edit*
And good comment section for other information! Thanks everyone:)
Awesome.Thanks
Awesome video. Thanks!
I saw this video after installing new pads. I replaced the way they were on from the dealer. In this video it says to mount outer pad sensor up and inner pad sensor down. The dealer had both sensors up so I put new ones on with both sensors up. Do not know if it really matters...
Same here
The piston press comes with the brake kit
I just put ceramic brake on my 17 Altima on front , and after 1week I hear a grinding noise . anyone know why
Rotors are probably warped
Thank you its super helpful
Are the rear brakes the same procedure?
Very nice
Wow, What an awesome guide! I subbed and like. Ty!
Great video!!
How is bosch brake pads? How long it last & noise?
Thanks for the Vid 👍👍👍
After three sets of pads and one new set of rotors,(bought from dealer) brakes on 2015 atima periodically squeak very loudly. Any suggestions?
Do you know if they replaced the pad retainer hardware, cleaned and lubed the guide pins, lube the tips of the pads where they rub on the retainers? I would assume they have but that’s where I would start. Also when debris like little tiny pieces of rock get stuck between the pad and rotors it can cause this but are you in a place where that’s common? Do your rotors look rusty when you start your drive each day?
@@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS i will definitely find out. Thank you.
Great video
What about cleaning and greasing the 2 guide pins ?
why 31 dislike ??
the video is perfect, only 3 minutes
Probably because he didn't resurface the rotors. I have never been able to replace pads without replacing the rotors.
Thanx 4 the video... AWESOME
If I did the rotors, what would you torque those bolts to? Thank you for this video btw
Don't forget to pump the brake up before drive!!!
Quick question! For a Nissan Altima! The car would need 4 pads for the front? And 4 rear pads?😊
Yes, the front pads will come as a set of 4, and so will the rear pads if you buy those. They will be grouped together in pairs inside the box so there's no confusion. One pair per wheel
thanks I just did my neighbor front brakes on 2013 nissan Altima
Hi, Tq for the video, if posible pls do a brake fluid flushing for this car.
What else can you use if you don’t have a piston press tool
A c-camp generally works
@MINUTE DIY VIDEOS Why did you insert the inner brake pad sensor side down ? When you took it off it was sensor side up .. curious
Good question. Other videos show the pad sensors/clips installed upward (ua-cam.com/video/c6Y_I2G3P-M/v-deo.html)
Hello. I replaced the pads on my 2013 Altima and there is a lot of squealing now breaking forward and in reverse. Any idea what I did wrong? Thanks
Did you lube the pads? I made the mistake of not lubing them. They squaled all the time when I hit the brakes. I went back and lubed the back sides and the ends where they slide along the metal braket and all is good.
What if I dont have that piston press tool? What else can I use? Or where can I obtain one?
If you have a C-clamp you can use that with an old pad to compress the piston, but the tool is commonly available for cheap and handy to have. Often called a speader, They are very cheap at Harbor Freight Tools, Walmart, or Amazon for about $5-10 bucks. Here is the link from the video description to a good one from amazon: amzn.to/2N8eefm and thanks so much for watching!
You can rent one for free from O'Reilly. Just put down the cost of the tool as a deposit.
Just curious you say to put the sensor face down in the video ? . But originally when you took them off the rear sensor was facing up. Just wanted to make sure it’s correct so when I try to install new pads it’s in the correct position thanks
Can I use a c clamp for the piston?
+Parrish VanPelt People often use c-clamps in the place of a piston press without a problem. Some Caliper shapes might make a c-clamp harder to use than others. A small piece of wood can usually level these odd shapes making it easier to use. Thanks for watching asking a great question!
Thanks for this question, and reply.
I am about to start the process of replacing some pads but I was curious about the same thing.
The video saying “turn clockwise” about the piston press made me nervous because some pistons must be turned (with a piston press) as they are depressed.
What about the rotors? No replacement or turning them?????
Awesome video! Definitely giving this a Like. But may I ask what you're doing at 1:50 with a Piston Press? What does this do? And how will I know when it "flushes"?
Thanks so much! That step refers to pressing the piston back into the caliper housing. The piston slowly takes up the space of the wear on the brake pads so when you put new pads (which are much thicker than the old warn pads) in the caliper, the piston must be pressed back into the housing until it's flat or "flush" with the housing. Now the new brake pads will fit :)
Thanks so much for asking, let me know if you have other questions!
Luke
Ok, with pressing the caliper back into the housing, you don't need to bleed the brakes?
@@jordansdad1221 No, you only need to bleed the brakes when air gets introduced into the brake lines, which in this case it does not. By pressing the piston back into the caliper housing, you are simply forcing the brake fluid backward through the brake lines and back up into the master cylinder reservoir...which can overflow. I have always taken the cap off of the reservoir when doing this so that it can easily overflow, if it needs to. Be aware: Brake fluid doesn't last forever - it needs to be flushed/replaced periodically.
Does it matter what way the sensors go? I realized after the fact I finished that mine are upside down. I replaced both pads and rotors but I'm getting grinding as I drive, I'm not sure if it's due to the sensors not being in the direction like in this video or if I need to break them in. Please advise and thank you
hi could you use a c clamp instead of piston press?
This is exactly what I'm gonna attempt in a few hours :)
My guide bolts won't come off, I used WD-40 to try to loosen them still doesn't work. Any suggestions!?!?
I want to replace the routers too
Does the silicone paste work on lubing the tip of brake pads?
Nailed it
I've bought a used 2015 Altima through a private sale. At slower speeds when braking I hear a slight squeal.
I removed the wheels to inspect the pads and they all have lots of life on them.
Anyone has ever had this issue? What did you do to fix it?
Same thing...same problem. 2015 Altima. I'm not scare of changing the pads by my own...but I'm kind of lost about using the piston press that shows up in the video.
BRO THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IVE CHANGED MINE AND IM FURIOUS. Am i the only one that the metal clamps don’t fit for?
In the Owners manual, Nissan addresses this issue as a common occurrence with the vehicle brake system. It is part of normal operation
Do you have to flush after changing the brake pads for the rear?
+Chris Miller I usually only flush the fluid when it starts to get dark or around every 40k miles or so. Thanks for watching!
luke
Brake fluid is Hydro scopic, it's designed to absorb water. Most manufacturers recommend flushing your brake system 2 to 3 years.
Hi. Why does the title of the video say 2014-2017 but the thumbnail says 2013-2017? I have an Altima 2013. Will this work?
i found manual that has me disconnect positive batt cable, is that wrong or important? this video did not do that?
Hello again. I'm still hoping for a reply so I'll update my previous post...the squealing is only(I think) coming from the a rear brake and only when going in reverse. Really appreciate any help! Thank you.
Hi, thank you so much for making such a wonderful video. One question, I have heard around that people tend to jack up the car on both sides (using car jack and two jack stands) and there are specific points on the car to put the jack stands under. Since the brake job (changing pads and rotors) can take a while, is it safe to jack up and support one corner of the car first ? or do we need to jack up and supports both corners (changing rear rotors/pad) ?
Hello Trevor, you can do either. Changing your brake pads don’t require you to have both sides lifted at the same time. I personally jack both sides up at the beginning that way I can get it over with, but that’s just me. Read this article. It is very informative. It’ll definitely help with any questions you may have. auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/brakes/brake-repair/change-brake-pads.htm
Do you have to turn the piston everytime you changed the pads?
Yes because the new pads will be too thick to fit over the rotor :)
😊🙏😊 am trying to learn to put it on myself. Your videos are very helpful.
Thanks so much! The piston press is really cheap at Harbor Freight if you have a store near you! Also a good place to get a torque wrench to make sure your bolts are tightened to the right spec. :)
Great video , I have a problem with my lug nuts being too tight what kind size breaker bar/extendible wrench should I get ? And can I buy the 21mm socket just by it self? Thanks
Thank you! Autozone and other automotive stores sell the individual sockets, usually for $2-$4 each, I would get a cheap breaker bar from harbor freight if you have one in your area, they have 20% coupons online so be sure to use one, they accept them right off your phone. Be sure to buy the same drive socket as the breaker bar, usually 3/8" or 1/2". The 18" long breaker bar should do the trick but there's also 25" ones providing even more leverage. If they are seized from any type of corrosion or rust try a little penetrating oil like PB Blaster around the base of the lug, just be careful not to overspray onto the rotor, calipers etc.
Thanks so much for watching! Best of luck :)
Luke
MINUTE DIY VIDEOS I actually do have one in my area thanks alot
dopeboiJr Position your socket and breaker bar on each lug nut as to twist them counter clockwise and carefully use your body weight by placing your foot on the end of the bar by standing on the end of the wrench. You can do it! :)
So when I drink my right side in the front makes noise but it’s silence when I brake what could that be or do I need to change my brake pads
Why didn't you resurface the rotors. I have never been able to do pads without actually changing the rotors.
love your video!!! @ 2:24 you mention "torque guide bolts to 25 ft-lbs" how do we determine that?
Hello! Thanks for asking! You use a torque wrench, which can get at harbor freight for a decent price. You set the desired torque on the wrench and then tighten the bolt until the wrench starts to click indicating it has reached the set torque. There are other type of torque wrenches other than this click type but most are made so that you set the desired torque and the wrench or tool indicates or stops at the set torque. Be sure to look at the units because the wrench can be set to foot pounds, inch pounds, or newton meters. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching :)
@@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS do you know what the torque specs are in the lug nuts
I'm doing the same job on my 2014 Sentra. Are the parts and assembly exactly the same as your Altima? Thx
Great video. Did you with Bosch brand for a particular reason? So many posts on brand preferences. Now that they have been installed for some time , what is your review of them?
I know front and rear pads are different. Do you have part number to both front and rear pads or even amazon link? >
I would like to compensate you for your efforts through Amazon link.
Hi Javi! Yeah I have been very happy with the Bosch brand, the build quality does seem better than some of the cheap AutoZone and Napa pads I used to use a while back. But to be honest I have used ACDelco and KFE since I stated buying pads on Amazon because all these brands are available for about what the cheapo no-name brand pads cost in stores and I have found all these better name brands to be pretty similar with Bosch and KFE being my favorites. Thank you very much for watching and asking about my experience with these pads, I really do appreciate it!!
How long do the brakes last
After I’m done with everything do I have to press the brake paddle down a couple of times or is it good to drive.
With new brake pads you'll have to compress the calipers to make it fit over the new pads since they're thicker. When you're done, the brake pedal will go to the floor a time or 2. Just pump the brakes until it feels normal.
This question is for those who dislike the video.Did he do something wrong or missed something?
Thank you bossman, your the shit.
Seems easy enough, at my local tire kingdom they were going to charge me over $500 🤯
