Less than 3% of mechanics in the U.S. would be so thorough in replacing rotors/pads. There's no way they would clean the bracket and clips. They would disassemble, take pads out, smash off the rotor, quick wiping, lube the screws/pins (maybe?) put back together. 10-15min...here's your $120 labor plus overpriced parts bill. Have a nice day...
Just bought some for my father in law👍 I'll slap then on once I get them on this 28th. #browniepoints😂
This dude is the Bob Ross of Mechanics. Great video; the most thorough and comprehensive tutorial I’ve ever seen
Any real reason to open the bleeder to compress the piston? I normally just take off the filler cap and it spill over that way and replace what's missing it eliminates chances of air getting in the system
How a pro does it. Thanks for keeping it real. Covered all info needed without extra BS or dopey music.
+Kevin Eccleston Thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful work , thank you for making it so simple and so descriptive ....you are an excellent teacher and a great mechanic. P.S. I would say safety glasses once and that's it

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you
When did you show using the special line crimping pliers on the brake line, I never saw you install it
OUTSTANDING instructional video!!!
+scottydaum Thanks for checking us out!
Great video and very much appreciated. Your tutorial was excellent. I'm a teacher as well and your instructions were very good.
Hey bro you did a great job!!!. You really know how to do this job, at the beginning it seems kinda complicated but once I saw this video I realized that it's not really complicated as what I thought. Only one question I have for you, why you didn't use brake parts cleaner during the cleaning process with the tins, bracket caliper and the rest of parts. Cover the part's area the with cleaner might be a bad idea? Also the wire brush is not a bad cuz, it help you to get rid of the corrosion and rust.
This guy is good thank you so much. Definately recommend to see these videos
+david bringas Thanks for the feedback!
Great video of a job well done. Thanks for sharing it's a very good instructional on how to do the job right.
That was such a helpful video. Most comprehesive one i ve seen yet. You covered it all . Great job
Very thorough. Good job
Great video thank you sir
Great video!!
Great video. What are the torque specs for the rear slide pins and bolts?
The front caliper mounting brackets on my 2011 nissan altima are not 22mm. My 19mm wrench is too big and my 18mm wrench is too small. Should I just get a 18.5mm - 19.5mm flip socket or are there any other choices?
I've seen other videos that show the orientation of the pads differently, some show the clip on top on the outer pad, and the clip on the bottom on the inner pad, does it make any difference?
Len, you stud!
How do you use a car jack with changing brakes. I assumed if e brake is on the brakes would lock. Should I just take it to a shop?
So my dad did this awhile ago and except the rotors were good we just did the brake pads the little metal tins & fluid
Everything went smoothly except 1 thing
3 out 4 of the metal tins went on & 1 had a scraping sound when test driving we couldn't figure out why or how to solve it so we ended up putting on the old tin but new pads it didn't make the scraping sound anymore im now trying to understand if we did something wrong or just why for future reference?
Brakes are fine everything good just have 3 new tins 1 old tin...
Does the pin with the bushing go on the bottom on both sides?
nice except why do you grease the caliper WALL and piston
thats meant to have sticky glue
not grease
you dont want the pads sliding against the piston or caliper wall
you want them to STICK to it that way it stays off the rotor when it de compresses
I have a 2009 Altima Hybrid that you could not bleed the brakes the typical way. The dealer had to do it with a specialty tool. Crazy never seen this in all my years of working on cars.
I have taken my Nissan Altima to Meineke for brake work in the past. I'm wondering if the mechanics are doing all that cleaning and lubricating. I'm guessing no.
I doubt it. That's why I try to do all my own brake work.
Nope
Very useful video. But it says the 22mm bolts have a torque spec of 98 ft-lb. That sounds high. Some other video says its 32 ft-lb. Can you confirm?
I saw the same video where they said 32 as well. I think for a 22mm bolt 98 ft/lbs is correct.
98 or a bit more is correct for the bracket bolts. Typically they are in the 100-130 ft lbs range.
Any specific reason you introduced air into the system via cracking bleeder? I know you said to check caliper compression..but wouldn’t that be able to be checked via normal piston compression? People shouldn’t need to introduce air, THEN bleed it, for this job. I feel like I’m missing something here. Please reply.
I may be wrong but I believe it is bad to force fluid back through the ABS possibly damaging it which is expensive and requires high end diagnostic tools to service. Personally I wedged a Flathead screwdriver between the rotor and pad till i had enough play to continue and never opened the bleeder but did open the brake fluid reservoir.
QUESTION FOR THE GROUP!: When he was torquing those bolts to 98 ft pounds. He double and tripled clicked the torque wrench. Are some Torque Wrenches different that way? Because my torque wrench said ONE CLICK. Should it be two clicks on some wrenches? Thanks! #NoviceMechanic
why not just use a regular piston retractor tool with a old brake pad
why open the bleader?do you have to do this?
Purpose of loosening the bleeder screw? I might have missed it.
You don't have to bleed it. Its a choice most of the time they push it back with c clamps.
Keeps the reservoir from overflowing when you spread the caliper fully open. But I don't like doing it because you may have to bleed all 4 wheels. I'd rather just monitor the reservoir.
If the brakes are worn the piston will be stuck out
Perfect. 🤟🤟🤟
The spreader springs were missing that go between the pads ...i can clearly see the holes in the pads in your video where they belong.
98ftlbs for bracket 22mm
20ftlbs caliper bolts 14mm
Man this is going overboard, but man it’s a beautiful brake job perfect 10/10
+Brian Santos Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
@@1AAuto whats the name of the brush you have in the antiseize bucket?
Why open the bleeder? Why not take the cover off the master cylinder and use a c clamp to push the piston back?
+michael conder We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair. Opening the bleeder prevents any possible issues with backing the lines up or air in the system.
@@1AAuto I was just wondering. I have a co worker on her way to my house for me to change her front pads. I've already seen that the rotors are fine so it should be a quick change for me. Thank's for the video!
That clip actually won't even touch the rim on a 2009 drove around 2 days before I realized I didn't put that clip in lol
Is it necessary to open the bleed valve?
No.
I’ve done many brake jobs and not once have I ever opened the bleeder LOL
That part bothered me too. Really hate bleeding brakes and try not to mess with the bleeder valve if I don't have to...
I've had my brakes done a couple of times. not once ive seen my mechanic do that lol
is the roter supposed to be able to move a little bit after you’ve changed the pads am i doing something wrong ?
Yes the rotor moves as soon as the wheel comes off because that’s what usually holds it into place. There also 3 rotor screws designated to hold the rotor into place but usually those rust and get stuck so some cars don’t have them. You’re fine without the rotor screws either way
Believe me, you want that. My rotors are stuck.
Pump your brakes
but you didn't show anyone, you can't see where the clip goes on the pad,,,
he knows what tf hes doing
Driver side wheel done in 2 weeks, all three other wheels done in one year...lol
Why would you bleed them? Just use a C clamp?
You clamped brake line. And never explained why!!!!!
That hardware should just be replaced
