Great instructions, would be better if u tell us what size sockets are needed
Many thanks for the post, very helpful. Finishing up this job right now on my 05.
Nice job! Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros just finished the job a few minutes ago glad to have gotten rid of the warped rotor feel and back to smooth one more. Due to the new tire dealer torquing the Lugnuts to 200+ ft. pounds, it prematurely warped the rotors quickly.
At any rate, I did it all myself, and they’re now torqued down to the proper 100 foot pounds.
You did a nice job showing the simplicity of doing a brake job. However, I am surprised you didn't suspend the caliper with rope, strap, or wire in case it fell and stretched the brake hose. Also, you didn't lubricate any of the prescribed moving parts. Lastly, no fasteners were checked with a torque wrench. Anyone watching your video and doing a brake job for the first time needs to see those steps.
Thanks for sharing!
So what is the little lube packet used for in the pads box? Please elaborate. Thanks!
You should really take the clips off the bracket while its removed and use a wire brush to clean the brackets where the clips go in. It really helps with the little clearance some new pads leave you. Keeps the pads sliding smoothly and helps to prevent them from hanging up. Just a tip
9 years later first time seeing February 27 2023
Thanks for watching!
This helped a lot! $150 brake job turned into a $20, hour and a half long project, so thank you!
+MC-Gaming-Blacksmith92 Great to hear! Please subscribe if you have not already.
Thanks so much for the video, I was hesitant about fixing/replacing my own rotors and brakes till i watched this video. Last time i replaced my brakes at a service center they charged about 500 dollars and used the cheapest parts. This time i used the best parts and did it myself and only cost about 180 dollars
This is great to hear and the reason we do it. Please subscribe if you have not already.
Does the sliding pin with the rubber sleeve go on top or bottom leading or following???
Easy peasy and to the Point! Thanks
don't forget to grease the caliper slides :)
Thank you!!!! This is exactly what I needed to see.
Thanks a lot saves $450 here in canada (mechanics will rip off especially here) was such a clear video
Holy cow that's a ton for brakes! Thanks for watching!
Good vid! Very helpful! Thanks
Very good video,and clear to understand...Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos! This really helped me. I appreciate it.
You're very welcome!
can you please share the torque spec for caliper bracket and guide pin? i know the lug nut is 100 ftlb.
thank you
Extremely helpful to the weekend mechanic...saved a lot of time, reviewing this. Keep up the good work....subbd'
TERRY WOODS Awesome to hear ! thank you for subscribing !

I had hard time removing the tire but my son help me. And I did the rest!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks! Success!
can i use this same process for a 2007 saturn aura xe? need to take the rotors off to get them turned
Great quality video, however amount of torque require to tighten caliper on Saturn 2004 would be helpful.
Thanks
Thank you for the compliment. If you are worried about torque specs a simple google search can help you find the information you need. On the next video we will supply the right specs.
changing front back pads on a 2008 Saturn Astra .while putn da caliper back on theirs a while hanger hook that keeps the outer pad in place. How do I get that wire back in place?????
Do you guys have any videos showing how to replace the ac compressor on a 2004 Saturn vue? Great video
Hey, dumb question but what is the grease for? Can I do this by just jacking the car up as to change a tire? Also thanks for this video, it looks fairly straightforward.
No dumb questions here! The grease is for the caliper slide bolts so that the caliper can slide during braking easier. And yes, you can absolutely do this by jacking it up like you were changing a tire. Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much; I'm going to tackle this over the holiday weekend (hurray...). Do you have any advice for doing the back drum brakes on the 07? Lucky me, I get the one the year BEFORE they went to caliper brakes on the back x-(
No problem! Good luck, we know you can do it! Well I have a great video to help you get a stuck brake drum off if you run into that problem. ua-cam.com/video/UV0kfP17Co0/v-deo.html
Just go slow and do everything methodically. If you get stuck our automotive experts are standing by to help for free at www.2carpros.com/questions/new
None of these vids say to check level in brake fluid reservoir. When pushing pistons back in you displace x amount of fluid. If u don't have room in the reservoir it will spill all over the place!!
If your brake fluid is filled to the brim yeah but most aren't even close. Thanks for watching!
Surprised you aren't using the brake pad adhesive on this brake pad repair. I always spray some on to keep the noise levels down when braking especially for ceramic pads. Other than that legit video I hope it helps people out.
Thank you so much for watching!
Doing a 2005 saturn ion front brake pads. The 14mm bolt came out easy, and the bottom pin is free. I took it out and lubed it. The top pin will not come out. It is hard to turn. I did free up the rubber boot and it is still hard to turn and will not come out.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get it out. Like I said it will turn but is hard to turn and it will not go in or out? I noticed the old pads were not worn evenly the top of the brake pad was not worn as much as the bottom. Not real bad, but noticeable to the eye. How do I get the top pin out?
I guess not
Thanks a lot buddy - I was trying to take off the wrong bolts before I saw this video lol
Good stuff, followed step by step with no complications. Thanks for the video!
Just so I make sure I have the right size socket, what sizes are needed for the caliper bolts and the rotor bracket? Thanks!
those are 15mm and 16mm
14mm and 15mm. 14mm for the caliper bolts and 15mm for the bracket bolts! I just finished mine 30 minutes ago.....
How tight do the caliper bolts need to be onna 05 saturn vue?
Had a question. I did this exact same brake job yesterday with a friend. 2005 Saturn Vue. We installed new rotors and ceramic pads from OReillys. On the brake pads, does it really matter whether you put the pad with the wear indicator clip extending on one end on the inside or outside? We did not know and installed it on the outside. When I re-watched the video, the mechanic installed it on the inside. Is it important enough to take it back apart and switch them?
I can't recommend anything that isn't the stock procedure but if the brakes are functioning properly I'd call that a win. The wear indicator may not work however, so keep an eye on the brakes because the wear indicator may not be accurate. It could sound off early, late, never or on time.
What would make my brakes stay applied when I push my brake pedal
Number of things it could be but the first thing I'd look into is the master cylinder being faulty or the brake booster. Thanks for watching!
Was there no need to bleed the brakes?
Do you need to grease the pads?
Yes heavily applied Greece right on the rotor in the pads. Just kidding. Don't do that.
Nice conditions you have there. I'm working in the cold Feb Canadian winter. Ice everywhere. Car was sliding down the driveway when I jacked it up. You should see what road salt does to a Saturn ion. Pads don't just slide on here, you have to grind to fit like yours do. lol. Thanks for the vid.
Sorry about the ice! Hope you stay warm! Thanks for watching.
hello
what is the grease used for?
very poor video. He didn't use the grease or say what the bolts should be torqued at. very amateur.
No grease though lol
I have a 2007 Saturn Vue AWD and my rotors are held on with a nut in the center.
ido4self No. they're not.
Name the size of what bolts you’re removing Jesus Christ
No grease? Also no torque specs for the bolts. Sloppy.
terrible photography
