Careful stepping on the pull handle as it could round off the Bracket Bolts. If you can do it holding the socket in place it would be better. Great video and thanks for the information on tools needed, that's what I was looking for to prep for a job.

You always give such good instructions. You make it easy to take on these projects.

[@GirlieGarage]

Oh geez, I have to change my brakes in a couple of days and I'm terrified. lol I'm 45 years old and I've never. But me and my boy child are gonna do it!

[@GirlieGarage]

If you buy the tool on Amazon, it would make it easier! Make sure you’re brake fluid hasn’t been topped off before the job or you’ll make a huge mess! Helpful tool: amzn.to/3P6Lwyg

Thank you, you explained loud and clear, we appreciate your knowledge and help. Thanks

[@d.jskoyen8257]

Your video is excellant in many ways. Love your clear communication. I never make comments

[@GirlieGarage]

Thank you! That means a lot then! Appreciate the comment

[@Sagemeister007]

Thanks for the tip. Also are the anti-rattling pin supposed to be flipped? Meaning the center piece should be away from the rotor?

[@josephhernandez9859]

great help, thank you!

[@danmckinney7196]

it's 80 for the 17 mm bolts not 91

[@genehathcoat6311]

Thanks double checking they didn't put a monkey wrench in it

[@anthonyvaldez1052]

Instead of c clamp just use two flat head screwdriver only if your going to replace the rotors too

[@kodiham7532]

She did it wrong. Your right should be away.
