Is there a reason why you didn’t wipe the grease off front be packaging of the rotor and lubricant the various parts before you put on the the pads etc?
Hi, Good question!. There is no need to wipe the rotors by the way. That oil burns up during the first few miles and don't affect the braking power. This oily coating is meant to avoid the rotors corrosion until they get sold and installed in the vehicles. Don't worry about it, it is not a lubricant.
Hi. The grease is commonly used to avoid vibration than can cause annoying noises, however when the brakes heat up it gets more liquid and if it has been applied in improper amount it can slip on the rotors and brake pads diminishing the braking efficacy, that’s why I don´t use grease. In the other hand if you get a good brake pads, no annoying noises would be hearing.
Why would you bleed the lines? It isn´t necessary as no brake fluid is been replaced in this procedure. To many people struggle choosing the correct brand for brakepads and this is an important feature too, so I like to recommend products that offer good service.
Yeah no need to bleed the line, it was never accessed so no air would have any way of getting in, full hydraulic pressure should still be there. You do need to pump the brakes a few times to reengage the caliper, but that's a pretty trivial step
Is that not a good idea to leave the break caliper hanging like that on its line @1:15?!
I had the same thought! Bro is lucky he didn’t damage the break line
yeah, don't put pressure on the break caliper hose. Maybe tie it to the suspension or sit it on something

What size screwdriver did you use to take off that screw th at holds the rotor on?
I didn't notice you using any brake grease, e.g. on the tips of the pads before inserting, any reason?

Just put the wheel back on.. No bleeding the break lines? Intrested to know why you chose Brembo and put new rotors on the Van?

Calipers and brackets held in place by bolts. Not screws. Thats a screw holding the rotor.
Never hang the caliper like that
