Just to clarify something for this job:
This shows how to turn the caliper piston back inward when you have the electric parking brake.
If you DON’T have the electric parking brake you will need to turn the rear piston back in while pressing on them.
Thanks for the heads up! I do have the electronic parking 🅿 brake. So this video is super helpful. Never knew about the maintenance mode.
Out of all the videos I watched, your was the only one to show the "brake service" mode! One guy depressed it with a "c" clamp, one guy screwed it back in. Thanks foe excellent video!
Thanks man, your video was a life saver. After seeing your video I was able to replace my breaks. No problems.
Glad this helped you!
Thanks a bunch for the tutorial. After 3 hrs of trying I saw your video and see there’s a procedure to how it comes off. Went in smooth after seeing this. Thanks a bunch.
Damn spent 10 minutes tryna push the pistons In. Looked to see in the parking brake was on and it wasn’t😂 didn’t know I had to retract them. Thanks for the video I woulda never knew how to push those pistons in without it
Hey man! Just did my brakes, this video helped so much! Thank you for the help!
Thanks for the feedback!
Appreciate the extra help w this video! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Surely helped me out a lot!
Thanks for the video. It was easier than most cars Ive done. My 2013 Jetta is a pain in the ass.
Thanks for the video. Saw the parking brake on the caliper and wasn't sure how to proceed
Happy to help. Glad it worked out.
I'm at 108k on mine finally gonna change the rotors
amazing how calm you were when the 55 broke ,i would have been doping f-bombs if mine broke especially if i had no back-up .
Hahaha. I took out my frustration with my Snap On dealer instead. He treats me good so I knew I’d have no problem swapping it. As for staying calm…I try to seem “calm and collected” for these videos but you can be sure some of these jobs drive me to some foul language off camera. Lol.
I would be doing the same thing, problably even on the way to Home Depot to replace it.
About to do my tests. Pads and rotors are original and the car has 235,400 miles on it. I’m afraid for what I’m going to see. I hade changed the fronts multiple times but was always afraid to attempt the rears. Wish me luck
Wow. I’m Surprised they lasted that long.
very helpful! thank you
great vid !!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you very helpful
Thanks your video help me
Thank you God bless you 🙏
That helps a lot tnx.
Of course it's a T55. Why wouldn't it be. Hex bolts have failed huminity time and again but thank the lord for torx!
Hey joe. Could you make a full list of everything you’ve done on your Nissan?
That would be an exhaustive list. I’ve had it for about 10 years and 190,000 miles. I’m not even sure I can remember everything I’ve done to it.
Joe S. okay thank you
Hi Joe, On the right rear brakes can you simply push the piston back in same as the left one?
As long as you’ve retracted the electric parking brake beforehand, yes. If you don’t have the electric parking brake then no. You’d have to use a tool that “twists” the piston back in.
I have this car, thanks, information well. Hello from Ukraine)))
What rotors and brakes you use to have very little or no break dust? I have the same vehicle finally about to change them, Thanks to your video
I like Power Stop. Lowest brake dust will be by using a ceramic brake pad.
My rear rotors don't have that 5 mill hex screw. But looks like one of the holes have been filled and or welded
Huh. That’s an odd one. Maybe the screw head is filled with debris? Maybe try a wire brush or a metal pick tool to try and clean it out?
At the 3 minute mark what's the hand tool used to push cylinders back in? And where to buy one
It’s a Lisle 24300 Brake Pad Spreader. They’re available several places online. There are also different versions from Lisle that allow you to do dual piston and quad piston calipers too. Super handy.
Hey Joe, After I put the rear brakes in service mode. Can i turn the car off to do the rotor's and brake pads? I saw another video where they said to hook up a Charger to the battery so it does not drain it during the service? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
Yes. Turn the car off. No reason to leave it on. Service mode stays that way until you pull the parking brake switch when you’re done.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Thank you sir!
I snapped the brake caliper pin on the front brakes, we're just too damn strong for own good lol
Hi I just changed the rear brakes on my 2016 but I can't get the park brake out of service mode. I've pressed the brake and activated the park brake switch but the little light just blinks for about 30 seconds. Any tips?
I’d turn the ignition off. Give it a few mins and try again.
Maybe start the engine too and try it.
The T55 bolts that hold the mounting bracket on mine are stripped. Any suggestions on how to get them out?
Those are the E-Torx right? Some people have been able to use a regular socket to turn those out as well. I think MAYBE a 15mm?
@@JoesCarSmartsNY I'll give that a shot. Thanks, Joe.
Hey before you push the piston back did you do anything to make it lose. Cause I'm trying to push mine back and it's harder then hell.
Did you put the parking brake in service mode?
@@JoesCarSmartsNY no
I have the same one on my car. So after doing research I found out that I have to turn it to push it back. So I was confused cause you just pushed yours.
Manuel Flores I put the electric parking brake in service mode, like the video says, then I was able to push it in easily.
If you don’t have the electric parking brake then you’ll have to turn it in.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY ooh. I must have missed that. Thank you very much.
What size brake pads and rodors did u need ,? And is the front and back the same
I don’t remember now which size rotors this took. For some reason it’s tricky to determine ahead of time. I would check 200forums.com for hints on that. There are criteria but I can’t remember them right now.
Awesome video ! For the Torx bolts, did you use new bolts or use the same ones? If you did what size did you use?
Some people recommend that you don’t reuse the bolts. I always reuse them anyway and have experienced no ill effects in my experience.
T55
@@JoesCarSmartsNY The T55 torx bolts on my 2015 Chrysler 200 were very shallow which made it so the Torx socket didn't go in very far. This made it very difficult to loosen them because the socket would wobble when pulling on the wrench. This must be a common problem. You never had problems with that?
@@hartfordsignpost589 Maybe you needed to tap the socket in a little deeper. Sometimes grime can fill up those bolt heads. It can be tricky.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY No that's not it. I used a tiny screwdriver to see if it was stuff inside, but it wasn't. And I did try to tap it deeper after. The ones on my car are very shallow. Cant' believe just mine are like that.
Question, is it necessary for the sanding portion of the video?? I don't have those kind of tools for that part of the project.
Side note your Videos are AWESOME!!!
If you’re talking about grinding the brake pad ears, it might not be necessary if your new pads fit well. Some of the pads I buy aren’t perfectly manufactured and need minor trimming. You can also use a file to trim the pads a little bit. What you’re doing with that part is making sure that the pads are not binding (getting stuck) in their mounts. They need to be snug but also move freely so they don’t get stuck “on” the rotor and burn up the pads too quickly.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Thank you! Your explanation is greatly appreciated.
@@Skillmatic11 Glad I could help.
How come it’s a push in but it looks like a spin piston. Let me know
From what I’ve read the cars with the electric parking brake are push in, the ones without the electric brake are spin-in. This one has electric brake, and I was able to push the piston in after deactivating the electric brake.
Someone please help. I pulled my caliper off without having it in break service mode now I can’t get the piston to go back in. I have twisting it and C Clamping it
Put the old pads back on. Put the caliper back on and start again.
Or turn the key on in the car and put it in service mode.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Joe did brakes without putting in service mode now have service park lite - steering angle code flashing park brake lite HELP..??..
My 2015 Chrysler 200 has a different button layout and doesn't have any way to access the brake service mode, do you know any other way to access it?
Do you have the electric brake or a pedal? This is only for the electric one.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY I have the electric parking brake but the button layout on my Chrysler 200 is different. It doesn't have the (+ more) button and I looked through the settings and there is no option for brake service mode anywhere
@@cashway0420 Interesting. Sorry, I don’t know how to put them in service mode then.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY No problem, I just found a way to manually retract the electric parking Brake without putting it in service mode.
@@cashway0420 I just came across this video using different search terms. Don’t know if it helps for the future: ua-cam.com/video/mTgbvGNOmmM/v-deo.html
Nice job. Would recommend using nitrile gloves. That stuff can't be good for skin.
This works for a 2017 Chrysler 200 as well correct?
Should be the same. One way to check is to see if the 2015 and 2017 use the same pads and rotors part numbers.
Dang. Just started watching what looks like an excellent video, BUT my radio does not work and it's like $1500 just to fix the radio which I am not going to do. Is there another way to detract the electronic emergency brake?? I know under the center console is a thingy that you pull up on so vehicle can be towed. I WONDER if that will bypass or disengage the emergency brake so I can do the work myself. Even if I bring it to the shop, I am thinking they KNOW a way to make it work without replacing the darn stock radio @ $1500 or more due to inflation! lol Any help is appreciated.
There are some people that unplug that motor on the caliper and stick a 9V battery on it to retract it. I’ve never done that and I would be VERY careful. Theoretically, putting the 9V one way on the wires will push it out. Swap the wires and it SHOULD go in. This is not how I would do it, but I’ve read about this method before.
Another option is to send the radio to United Radio in Syracuse NY for repair.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Oh, OK I'll look into that thank you!
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Or do the front pads myself and bring car to a mechanic near me and let them do it! I'll check on United Radio before I do anything else. Ex New Yorker here myself. Greene County, The second home of Mike Tyson. lol
Could you put the pads into the caliper bracket first? Prior to putting the two torque bolts back in?
You should be able to, but sometimes it’s tricky to keep the pads lined up properly when you install that bracket. That’s why I do the bracket first.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY thank you!
Was the car started or just turned on for power?
If you’re asking about when I activated the brake service mode, it just needs to be turned to “Ignition” for power. No need to start the engine.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Yes when brake service mode. Sorry about not being clear. Thanks for the info!
how many miles on the car when this was done?
I’m not sure exactly but probably around 90k miles I’m guessing. Not sure if they were original parts or not. I’d assume they’d been replaced once before that but maybe not.
Worst brake design ever. *No reason to use T-55 torx screws.* Just use a metric bolt like the rest of the world. 😠
If you hate the Torx I suggest you don’t look at the bolts that hold in your front seats! Hahaha. They’re something totally different.
@JoesCarSmartsNY I'd your.very careful you can use a torx to remove those stupid Robertson bolts on the seat rails
Fiat man!!! 😂
Rears not tests. Damn auto correct
