it looks like it's exactly a standard brake job. But good to know as this is the first time I'll be doing my Sonic's brakes. Thank you!!
Fantastic, thank you.
Great job buddy!!
Great video man. Thank you for doing this its nice to see what I'm getting into and how to do it prior to starting and fuddeling around for an extra hour working through the steps. Keep up the great work man!
Top notch
Thanks. I have the same car. Same color too. You did that perfectly. I did notice after I changed my brakes I started hearing a click sound from the gear stick when the car is in park and I hold the brake down to shift into drive. It only does it when the car is in park and I hit the brake. The only thing I did different from you was I had my emergency brakes on while I changed the brakes to keep it from rolling. Any idea?
If the noise is coming from the center console shift selector (the thing with park, reverse, drive etc...) Then it is the locking mechanism in the shift selector. Mine makes the same sound when I hit the brake pedal to switch out of park.
It's a normal sound in most cars....and definitely in the 2013 Chevy Sonic.
Great vid :) torque specs tho? :0
Specific torque is not essential on these parts as long as they're secured and tightened well, but the manufacturer specified torque is available online. Search "brake caliper torque" for your specific application, and be sure to use Blue Loctite or similar thread adhesive on the caliper bracket bolts. Also grease the caliper slide bolts before reinstallation of the caliper and ensure the slide boots do not have cracks or tears. Replacing the boots is recommended, and usually very cheap.
@@timmartin997 If it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't bother. An engineer who is way smarter than you published them for a reason, fool.
Question I did see or hear u talk about taking off the break fluid cap off are u supposed to ?
Compressing the brake piston (cylinder) usually doesn't require removing the brake fluid cap (under the hood), but this is a good opportunity to check the fluid level of your brake system. Check the fluid level before you compress the cylinders, and leave the cap off as you compress them. The fluid level will not rise significantly, but this extra step ensures no air enters your brake system, and allows an easier flow of fluid back to the master cylinder while the pads are being replaced.
When making a video like this, I would recommend doing a minute of research online to get the proper terms for each part. "Wear Indicator", "Piston" and "Slide Bolts" are a few universal terms used to describe the items you encountered and replaced, but used the wrong words to describe. To avoid confusion, it's best to use the proper terms. Great beginner video for those stuck at home, wanting some do-it-yourself action, though!
What kind and size socket for the caliper pins
I know you asked this a year ago, but for the reference of anybody watching this video, the caliper slide bolts are 10mm heads, standard 6-point socket. Grab the slide boots when you buy the pads. They are cheap, and worth replacing now, when you grease the caliper slide bolts. The proper lubricant is available in individual tear-packets by the registers of most auto parts stores.

Where is the fuel filter for this car 2013 Chevrolet Sonic rs?
I need some tools like yours
This job can be completed with a basic socket wrench and sockets. The C-Clamp is a great tool to have, as well. All of these things are available at Walmart or other major retailers for less than $20, and they will serve multiple uses after your brakes are replaced.
I just can't find the correct size of socket. The supposedly size 10 is waaaaaay too small. What am I missing??? can anybody help?
Very food
Sounds like a Montreal Anglo-Italian accent, maybe Lachine?
Nope ontario
@@4SeasonBros Next guess, Hamilton or just N of Toronto ? Possibly Ottawa (Preston Ave zone)?
Ottawa
Ouin, jpense que je vais aller au Canadian Tire… 😂😂
No reason to take the whole bracket off for a pad slap.
Peffect tks
