Thank you so much for sharing. I'm about to replace the front wheel bearings (and brakes while I'm at it) on my third gen IROC-Z and have been watching a bunch of videos. Yours is easily the most clear on what is involved in the process.
Thank you for your kind words. Just take your time and be thorough. Clean off the rotor really good with brake cleaner before you install your new pads. Take the car out for a gentle drive and bed the brakes several times when you get it all back together.
Clear to understand, remained focused on the task, helped me loads. Many thanks.
Sweet! Happy motoring!
Always bleed your brakes after opening the system. Start at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder then work wheel by wheel closer to the master cylinder, bleeding each caliper by opening the bleed-screw after an assistant pumps the pedal a few times, and pushes it down as you open the screw. Make sure they keep pressing down until you close the screw. Repeat this a few times on each caliper while topping off the master cylinder with fresh clean brake fluid. This purges old dirty fluid and air-bubbles from the system to insure a firm pedal and smooth braking operation.
Thanks for the informative video man it’s time for brakes on my 86 t/a from California that I’m trying to keep rust free here in Michigan
Nice! Just don't drive it on salted roads in the winter!
I would put the cotter pin the other way in.
I needed this. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped you. Brake jobs aren't really that difficult if you have tools and knowledge. Just take your time and be thorough. Keep everything clean. Don't contaminate the pads or rotors with oil and always wipe them off with brake cleaner to remove rust-preventative oils.
@@MrSFSTUDIOS Will do! I've never done the GM rotors with the bearing inside so was a bit intimidated lol
Just like a Chevy Vega from the 70's only bigger!@@MrFreshpot
This video helped out a lot thanks. I do have question, what brand grease is that you used for the bearings? Thanks
Valvoline or Mobil 1 both make nice wheel-bearing greases.
@MrSFSTUDIOS Thank you sir.
@@lrdj3426 If your caliper won't go back on with the new pads installed, use a c-clamp to push the piston back inside the caliper. That will give you extra clearance to slide the caliper with new fat pads back onto the spindle-bracket.
What kind of grease
Any brand of wheel-bearing grease will do. Just read the label. They say right on them if they are approved for wheel-bearings. Valvoline and Mobil 1 make nice greases.
