    Nice video. Thank you. One other good practice is to loosen and/or remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before compressing the piston, to make it easier to compress, and avoid creating bubbles in the fluid in the brake lines and reservoir. Then just replace it when you're done.

      I open the bleeder. It's even easier to push the piston back in, and then you get rid of that nasty brake fluid that's been heat cycled a million times. Then gravity bleed the brakes after.

    You did not mention the torque specs for the caliper bracket, or caliper. The caliper bolts are 13mm and should be torqued to 26 ft. lbs, and the caliper bracket bolts are 18mm, and should be torqued to 74 ft lbs. Also should pull, clean, and re-lube caliper pins. Also lug nuts are 19mm, and need to be torqued to 100 ft lbs. Sorry to mention, but doing mine right now. Check my video for problem/solution that I ran into about caliper pins and bracket.

      If you find yourself getting frustrated while refreshing your brakes, then take a short break. The last time I changed brake pads my sister in law called and said she heard a grinding sound, I had to do two brake jobs, one on our van, and one on her car, too.

    Before using a lever pipe be sure to use a spray liquid wrench or WD-40 to loosen. Work it back and forth, tapping till it breaks loose and the bolt doesn't snap off or nut strip. Don't be impatient it could take an hour of working it back and forth but never use twice as much force as torqued or you risk breaking, then you have to tap, drill, ease out or grind to remove the damaged piece and replace with same. Don't substitute with a smaller size.

    Don't lube your wheel studs. You might lose your wheel going down the road. You better keep torquing them for safety. NEVER lube the studs. They're galvanized and won't rust!

    • @christopherrandolph2455
      @christopherrandolph2455 3 роки тому +1

      I respectfully disagree. I use anti seize on the lugs. They don’t come loose. And they’ll come back off when you want them to.

    • @mtsflorida
      @mtsflorida 2 роки тому

      Or just put one drop of oil on your finger per stud that won't hurt and help with keeping it from snapping off if humidity or moisture seep in. Never tighten past recommended torque and re-torque after 25-100 miles to ensure proper seating.

    • @n0ukf

      Enough times off and on will wear that zinc off the steel studs. They WILL rust.

  • @mattman6161
    @mattman6161 6 місяців тому

    Pro tip, likely under the clips the pads ride in is rusty and crusty. Clean it really good, scrape it out with a pick or screw driver and clean it with emery cloth. Then put the clips in and install the pads. Also skip the anti sieze, does nothing but make a mess.

  • @brandonminear9400

    Let me just say, I just did a brake job on my sienna, it literally fell apart compared to the Town & Country. Probably took two or three times as long with all the Rust clean up. The rotors had pusher threads on them, but they were not needed, because they came off by hand.

    Great video, should I take the break cap off when pumping the break?

    • @TinkerForward
      @TinkerForward  3 роки тому

      You may want to take the brake cap off when you are compressing the piston as this will raise the brake fluid when you want to make sure it doesn't overflow in the reservoir when compressing it but you don't necessarily need it off when you are pumping the brakes at the end.
