Can't say I seen ALL the videos on this but I would think you'd open the cap on the brake reservoir so fluid would have a place to go when u push piston back in. Also leave old pad on caliper to push piston back in, prevents damage to piston
Don't force the caliper piston back into its bore without opening the bleed valve so you don't force pressure into the ABS system and possibly cause damage
Robert Badger no I didn’t, nor does my video title say anything about changing the rotors. My rear ones still had enough material on them to last through another set of pads, I have driven about 5000km so far and have had no issues
Robert Badger mine had 155,000km on it when I made this video. You just need to run your fingers across it and see if there’s grooves in it or if it’s warped. If you’re at all unsure, you should bring it in and have someone look at them, it is your brakes after all and something that should be done properly.
We did change pads as such but didn't bleed the brakes because we never opened the lines or anything..NOW the brake pedal goes to the floor after I brake the truck to a stop..what gives??
@@bearlyexplored thank you for your response..we discovered we put the front pads in backwards and corrected that then bled the brakes..this stopped the brake pedal from sinking to the floor
You do not have to jack it up to Mt. Olympus, Words to live by.
Haha that gave me a chuckle
😅🙏

Those are both great points and you’re right, I should have done it that way, thank you for leaving a comment
Centre of rear diff bell housing is not a lift point! (You could potentially cause a leak between the housing and the cover seal or cause a crack.
Thank you, I will not be lifting from that point going forward 🙏

Good point. Where is the bleed valve located?
@85tkern the bleed valve is located on the caliper housing behind the caliper. Usually not too far from the brake hydraulic line
This should last a good long time.
I see your dog wanted to help.
auaiao9 hopefully it does, I was able to get 145,000km out of these brakes though, so I really can’t complain. She loves being outside
Do you need to open the bleeder valve?
I didn’t on mine, it’s been working fine
I remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir so the fluid will be able to go into that without building pressure and over pressuring the system.
Thanks for posting. Was a huge help.
You’re welcome, thanks for the comment
What do you mean the wheel was stuck? I am having the same problem, i cannot get the wheel off the rotor
Mine was seized on there from rust. It wasn’t off for a long time and I didn’t put anti seize between the two surfaces.
You don’t need to bleed the brakes?
I didn’t… they have been working fine
I searched youtube for someone changing pads and not rotors. You did not turn or replace the rotors, have you done this before? Any problems?
Robert Badger no I didn’t, nor does my video title say anything about changing the rotors. My rear ones still had enough material on them to last through another set of pads, I have driven about 5000km so far and have had no issues
How do you know if there is enough surface on the rotors? My vehicle has 75, 000 miles on it.

Great vid bro supper helpful!!
Thank you for the comment! Glad it was able to help you out

asdf Bill did you check your brake fluid level after?
@@bearlyexplored yeh we checked fluid level which remained the same throughout..also pushed piston on to get new brake pads in place..hmmm
asdf Bill that’s odd the level stayed the same the whole time, especially since you pushed the piston in...
@@bearlyexplored thank you for your response..we discovered we put the front pads in backwards and corrected that then bled the brakes..this stopped the brake pedal from sinking to the floor
asdf Bill glad you were able to figure that out and get back on the road safely!
Thank you for including bolt torque spec!
Brannen Kirk you’re welcome! Thanks for commenting
Why do so many people do these videos one handed?
I didn’t have a tripod at the time but still wanted to try and demonstrate for the viewers
Dude why you letting your dog lay under the truck at 1:50? What if the truck were happen to fall?
Casey Clark that’s what the safety stands are for 🤷♂️
Didn't open the bleeder valve before compressing piston? Pushing that old fluid into the ABS system is not good
