    Not big into pinching the brake lines due to premature failure on another vehicle. Don't forget to use sil-glyde on the pins. Excellent video!

      Thank you for your feedback. Yes I use to not pinch the lines until it was recommended by an ASE certified mechanic.

      Anytime you open the bleeder screw you must bleed the braking system. Manually and with a computer thru the ABS system. You can avoid all that by opening the reservoir and compressing the caliper pistons slowly.

  • @GregorysGarage
    @GregorysGarage  11 років тому +1

    You right in that you don't have to go to the level of detail we do to change your brakes. But there's a difference in doing it and doing it right. All the steps we go through were recommended by an ASE certified mechanic.

    Awesome video guys. Very concise, I love how you went through all the required parts beforehand and everything. I just used this video as a guide to replace the rotors & pads on my 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500. The only thing I'll add is, whoever did the rotors on it last must have been He-Man. I actually broke my 3/8" ratchet trying to get the 18mm caliper mounting bracket bolts off (using a cheater bar). So my recommendation to anyone else reading this is make sure you've got a 1/2" 18mm/19mm socket and not just 3/8" just to be sure. I also got by without clamping the brake lines or bleeding. I just clamped very slowly and kept an eye on the brake master cylinder level as I went. Great job guys and thanks again!

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  8 років тому

      +Chuck Claunch Glad we could help and sorry about your 3/8 inch ratchet. The caliper mounting bolts can be pretty tight especially if they have thread lock on them. Also I would never recommend using a cheater bar on a 3/8s ratchet. -Greg

  • @juliosantos9289
    @juliosantos9289 4 роки тому

    Good video guys. Complete and well explained. I don't bleed the caliper as I'm compressing it but as all good mechanics know, brake fluid attracts water over time and affects the quality of it. I empty and bleed my brake reservoir and all four brakes every summer to keep fresh fluid in my truck. Keep those wrenches turning! Appreciate adding the torque specs as well.

  • @juliusketsenburg6323
    @juliusketsenburg6323 9 років тому +4

    Well done -- many videos show just compressing the rotor pistons, without bleeding them off, but rather pushing it back through the master cyl. I believe this can damage the ABS master cyl. Your method of bleeding is preferred.

    Alot of time the lock washers are old and don't work as well as they once did.. The lock tight doesn't make the bolts unremovable it just holds them in place and helps keep the torque settings.

    Changing the rotors is up to you. It would be best if you can get them resurfaced at the very least. The old rotors are usually a little out of round and the new surface helps break in the new pads.

    I think all that brake fluid business is unnecessary. If you compress the pistons with a c-clamp from the get-go, it just pushes the fluid back into the reservoir. Then there is no need to do it twice or bleed the brakes.

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  9 років тому +3

      We show the right way to do it. Yes you can cut corners and feel free to do that on your own vehicles but when we present a how to video we do our very best to insure we do it the right way. All of our videos were reviewed by an ASE certified mechanic.

    • @RRVideosAndSound
      @RRVideosAndSound 9 років тому

      Greg Cook Actually all the ASE mechanics in my town refuse to work with bleeders which have become chemically welded to the housing. They charge the customer for a whole new caliper instead; "You dont want to pay me labor for fixing up those bleeders"
      Which is why alot of people maintain their own cars.
      Its alot easier to push the pedal down, crack a bleeder open to let the corroded fluid out instead of pushing it out by compressing the piston with a c clamp...alot can go wrong doing it like you did.

  • @RRVideosAndSound
    @RRVideosAndSound 9 років тому +1

    My 2005 Silverado has torx head guide pin bolts. Be advised, there are several different brake systems for 2005 silverados, depending on where they were made. For some parts, such as hardware kits, you have to bring the option code from the vehicle label to get the correct parts.

    • @RRVideosAndSound
      @RRVideosAndSound 9 років тому

      Bob Sands No I am sorry I do not, but I bought a set of torx heads to 3/8 socket at Home Depot (husky lifetime guarantee, sears moved out of town) fairly cheaply. Maybe you can look up the price on line.

    • @RRVideosAndSound

  • @stephenmwyatt2
    @stephenmwyatt2 9 років тому +1

    if you simply compress the calipers very slowly, the whole bleed thing is not necessary. I also never use the new hardware or the anti-seize. I live in the desert where things never rust or get in bad shape. It might be different around salty roads, lots of rain, or other bad weather.

    Is it common for there not to be a retaining bolt on the rotor? My 4x4 doesn't seem to have one, or holes for backing off the rotor. But I can't get the rotor off, is there something (other than rust) holding it on?

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  8 років тому

      If you're rotors have been replaced before then the rotors might not have the hole for the retaining bolt. Nothing else should be holding the rotor on. I would suggest getting a manual for your truck from a local auto parts store. -Greg

    My '03 chevy 1500 has the original brakes (I bought the truck new) and is ready for front pads and rotors. Would you suggest a brake fluid flush (i.e. - via the bleeding method) for all 4 wheels while I am bleeding the front brakes, and if so, do I follow the traditional "farthest away from the M/C" (RR, LR, RF, LF) sequence? Great video, BTW - thanks.

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  9 років тому

      I would only replace the brake fluid if it appeared really dirty. I usually wouldn't in a lower mileage truck like yours but it wouldn't hurt to do it. I would start at the RR and bleed and add fluid until the fluid comes out clean. Then I would move to the LR, RF, LF and do the same.

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  10 років тому

      Being tight is normal. To remove it I would suggest doing like we do in the video and use a clamp to compress the piston in the caliper and you should be able to remove it. Be sure to open up the bleeder screw when doing this.
      Greg

    • @Mr572u
      @Mr572u 9 років тому

      Greg Cook He said his rotor was loose. Usually they are loose because they are only sandwiched between the hub and the wheel.. The lug nuts are what hold it secure. Some trucks have small screws that hold it to the hub on 4-wheel drive vehicles, but most of them are just a snug fit. Sometimes rust will stick a rotor to the hub. A whack on the back side with a rubber hammer will knock it loose.

  • @falcondriver100
    @falcondriver100 10 років тому

    One more question. Why do you compress the pistons before taking the caliper off?? Won't the come off otherwise?? I've never had to do that on other vehicles........

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  10 років тому +2

      Sorry for the late reply. We compress the piston to make it easier to remove the caliper. It's not always necessary but when the rotors wear down a ridge forms around the outside edge. Sometimes because of this ridge the caliper can be difficult to remove since the pads ride against the rotor. By slightly compressing the piston it gives more room to remove the caliper.
      Greg

    • @Mr572u
      @Mr572u 9 років тому

      When you put the new pads in, they will be thicker than the old ones were. You have to push the pistons in to accommodate the new thickness, regardless of a ridge on the rotor.

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  9 років тому

      Mr572u The question was why do we compress the piston before we remove the caliper from the caliper holder. Yes you will need to compress the piston all the way when you install new pads and the video shows that.

      @Mr572u 9 років тому

      Smashing a brake line closed will damage it. There is an inner liner that can crack, releasing fluid to the outer liner which is softer. It could then blow out during hard braking. Then it's game over. Don't do it, You don't need to anyway..

    I don't know where you get your torque specs. If you torque these small bolts to 133 ft. lbs. they will break. Lug bolts don't even get that much torque.

    • @GregorysGarage
      @GregorysGarage  9 років тому

      We get our torque specs from different sources but usually from a Chilton manual. We torque we stated is correct and yes we torqued to 133ft lbs and they didn't break. Lug nuts can be torqued to 135 ft lbs or more. Depends on the size of the wheel stud.

    • @Mr572u

      Greg Cook Well good luck getting the wheel off, on the side of the road with a lug wrench. Discount Tire torques them @ 75 ft. pounds. By the way, to achieve the torque on those small bolts you suggest, would take a near 70 pound pull with a 2 foot bar. That's ridiculous.
