Only spent $26 on front brake pads and did this job with a cross and a 14MM wrench. Did the first brake with out a clamp and improvising. Thanks for the tutorial. Took about 2 hours because I was looking for a lot of improvisment for tools.
Just did my front pads today, with the help of your video. It took an hour total for both sides. It runs silent and brakes strong. Thank you so much for your help. The shop want over $300. I spent roughly $50 on pads. They came with all the hardware and a little packet of grease. I am now subscribed. Thanks again!
Had my brakes replaced less than 6 months ago and noticed they stated making a grinding and squeaking sound at stops, especially slower stops. At times, my right brake would even grab so I knew something was wrong. I usually have a family friend do my work, he's a professional mechanic and does work on the side, but I came across your video and thought, I can do this myself! Man am I glad I did! Your video plus quality parts and no more issues! Thank you for doing what you do to help people who still want to turn a wrench!
My husband doesn't like to work on cars but with your video he was able to do our front brakes in just a little over an hour. We saved a lot of money and now he knows he can do it again in the future. Thank you so much!!
My caliper bolts were installed incorrectly and I tried calling everyone I could think of, and no experts were able to help. I then watched several UA-cam videos to no avail, then I watched this video and got all the answers I needed. Thank you so much!
This video was outstanding just finished my 2013 Dodge Avenger Front brakes with rotor and pad kit went really smooth cannot thank you enough saved a lot of money🙂
Thank you did mine following your steps and finished it thanks I saved a fortune and paused and played as was able to get it done within a few hours thanks again for the video
Thank you so much! I just did my front pads with the help of your video and you certainly saved me a lot of money :) thank you thank you thank you so so much!
@@underhill918gaming5 Thank you..i enjoy helping people🙂 definitely a great feeling to be able to help someone fix their own car and save them money in the process
Any reason why i might be having so much trouble just sliding in the brake pads? I noticed it was simple for you but mine on the inside is so hard to fit. The out pad went on no problem
I need replacement bolts for the ones your unscrewing at 2:50 on a 2012 Avenger. I can’t seem to find any online does anybody know of a source where I can get these??
Ur abs light is one? Or ur brake light? If only ur brake light is on then it means ur brake fluid is low, parking brake is on..or loss of brake pressure in system...if ur abs light is on youll have to have it scanned and retrieve abs codes
@@backyardchevy328 I need to get the right size rotor for a 2013 Dodge Avenger SXT. They said it'd be a 294 or 340 and that they'd need a brake code but I've been googling and searching and asking people but can't come up with anything
@@estevang6101 yea they have two different sized rotors in millimeters...if u have a measuring tape u can measure it top to bottom in inches and if u get 12.5 itll be the 294mm and 13.4 will be the 340mm...or u can use the vin number and call the parts dept and theyll be able to tell u what size rotor u use
Thank you, unfortunately that jack has gotten on my nerves lol..everytime i use it its a loud squeak squeak everytime I lift with it...yet my low profile of same brand, ive had it for longer works so much better, yet doesn't have that problem.
Any chance the back caliper pin is turning with the bolt? If so youll want to grab a wrench and hold the caliper pin nut...if its hard to loosen have u tried a longer ratchet or wrench for more leverage?

14mm and 18mm and c-clamp and jack is all you need. Thank you
Yes thatll work🙂, but a jackstand or something for safety as backup if jack fails to be safe🙂
Wrong I needed 2 band-aids also
I know it's a long shot but does anyone know the brake bracket bolt sizes? The top one specifically? Need to buy a new one mines fell off
Or if someone can send me a link I'd appreciate the help

Thanks. Saved me. I didn't pay attention to the difference in the slide pin bolts.
Glad to be able to help🙂👍

This was really helpfull. Did the front brake discs and pads on my 2008 Dodge Avenger today.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you🙂 Thats great! Great job👍 greetings from California
Yo sick! I'm currently planning the same for my 08 Avenger and I can tell this guide will be immensely helpful. Regards from the USA.
@@nitroexsplosion thats great🙂👍 thank you
I thought this was so hard lol but this look easy just follow the steps, I finna save this video and buy me some pads and rotors and the tools
Excellent tutorial.... Thank you.
Do I remove brake fluid cap before I start pushing down brake caliper
They have a small vent hole but it does make em easier to push in, so yes..just keep an eye on the level so it doesnt overflow
Is the break warning pad required or is it just recommended?
Awesome video man. Very clear and concise
Thank you🙂
Do the brake pads touch the rotor when installing new ones
My Wife said I may need to bleed the breaks but didnt see it so I’m assuming pushing the piston back should be sufficient or at my missing something ?
Is the bolt that has the sleeve supposed to go on top or bottom?
On the bottom
Can you wipe the anti corrode off if you don't have the spray
what camera are you using? very nice quality👍
Can/will you do a video on bleeding the brake line? PS, you've definitely earned a new sub for this video.
Definitely will🙂 thank you so much
@@backyardchevy328 I appreciate what you do. You provide incredibly valuable information for inexperienced DIYers.

Probably put them upside down I had struggle putting them aswell on till I put them on the right way slide right it
@luckymayne4304 nah the bracket was rusted to shit. I replaced the caliper and bracket and everything worked just fine
thank you . you saved me a lot of money
Thats awesome🙂
sir can you please confirm what Type of ratchet is?
Buen video excelente 👌
I need replacement bolts for the ones your unscrewing at 2:50 on a 2012 Avenger. I can’t seem to find any online does anybody know of a source where I can get these??
Best place would be the dealer, they normally stock the original replacement bolts or can order em for you
Thank you sir!
Thanks pal 😉
One of my brake calipher bracket bolts snapped, any advise on where to find another I’m lost.
Have u tried the dealer? Either that or a salvage yard would be ur best bet for an original bolt
Backyard Chevy I’ll take a look at some salvage yards tomorrow, thanks man it’s crazy no one carries the parts for it even online.
Ebay has some for the front caliper bracket bolts but not for the rear unfortunately
@@joshb3743 yea i know..but guess the rear bolt isnt as common...hope u find it..good luck🙂
Backyard Chevy could you post the link for the front bracket bolt? That’s exactly what I’m looking for 😭
Nice
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you🙂
is the torque info listed occasionally in the video applicable to a 2010?
Yes, the one im working on is a 2010 as well, but it should be the same torque spec for the years listed above.
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you🙂
Very nice
Love your voice. No sarcasim. No homo.
Thank you🙂 makes me feel better about my videos, since at first i was so uncomfortable talking with a deep voice on camera
@@backyardchevy328 haha. No problem man. Thank you for the video. Very helpful
@@lokoflipz5344 thank you for watching and for the support🙂
How do I find the brake code for a 2013 Dodge Avenger SXT?
Ur abs light is one? Or ur brake light? If only ur brake light is on then it means ur brake fluid is low, parking brake is on..or loss of brake pressure in system...if ur abs light is on youll have to have it scanned and retrieve abs codes

What size do i need for my 2013 avenger?
It uses the same ones as long as its the 4 cylinder model.
Nice jack
Thank you, unfortunately that jack has gotten on my nerves lol..everytime i use it its a loud squeak squeak everytime I lift with it...yet my low profile of same brand, ive had it for longer works so much better, yet doesn't have that problem.
@@backyardchevy328 Im from Pittsburgh thats why I like it lol
@@claybird8494 lol..hello from California👍
What size MM was your brake pads?
The Rotor was a 295mm rotor diameter
Backyard Chevy hey I know this was a while ago sorry but was this size for rear, front or both?
Yeah because they sell a 295mm and 294mm. I was leaning toward a 295mm.
The bolts for me is not easy to loosen, I’ve tried everything for 2 hrs and nothing is happeninf
Any chance the back caliper pin is turning with the bolt? If so youll want to grab a wrench and hold the caliper pin nut...if its hard to loosen have u tried a longer ratchet or wrench for more leverage?
@@backyardchevy328 I have a longer wrench but now the head of the bolt has now stripped and I can’t get the rathet back on
@@ItzSeagull yea then in that case you might have to try a 6 point socket or one of those special sockets for stripped heads
Backyard Chevy working on a mopar how dare u my friend 😂🤣 j/k
Mopar or no car haha jk..i fix everything🙂👍
@@backyardchevy328 good video doe u just save my sister a few bucks
@@crownmekingls4 thank you🙂 thats awesome!

You missed one important step, you forgot to remove, clean and apply new grease to the caliper slide bolts!
Wish I would have watched this yesterday I never put the lug nuts back on.
Oh no..hopefully nothing happened
@@backyardchevy328 😂 jk excellent video
