I've always has an "issue" with rear brakes - thought they were harder than fronts, which I'm 100% confident about. Rears look a bit easier! Thanks for posting this video! - Dave
Thanks. I did my Altima brakes awhile back and couldn't get the after market slide guides to match up with the pads. Ended up using the original guides. But now I see that I might have had an easier time if I had removed the carrier, then put the guides on. I never had to remove the carrier before (that I can remember) because I was just replacing the pads and not the rotor. I just slid the caliper up and popped the pads in .

I had no idea that disc and drum brake combos existed. How come you did not replace the drum brakes when you changed the disc pads and rotor? How will I know when I should replace the drum brakes?
Did you use a scanner to compress the electronic brakes? And if so, when did you use the scanner, until you had to actually compress the piston or did you already use the scanner before even attempting to take off the bolts to get to the caliper ?
Thank you for your question! Yes, we used a scanner to compress the electronic brakes before attempting to remove any bolts. The scanner was applied to ensure the piston is fully retracted and can be compressed safely.

@YOUCANIC great. 2 questions. Did you have to have the car running the whole time to keep the parking brake off to ensure the connection was alive or can you turn off the car and unplug scanner during the job once the piston was compressed ? And 2nd question, at what point did you release the parking brake after compressing piston? After completing the brake job or as soon as you compressed the piston back
Good day. I replaced my front and rear pads and rotors. But still can hear a squeal noise. Any other suggestions to inspect, axels, bearings.. running out of ideas. Lol
Did you clean your rotors before you installed them, and did you properly break in your new rotors? Plus some brake types squeal more than others. Your parts store should have told you that when you bought your brake pads...
You can google how to clean the contact points of the brakes. I read its usually dirt on the contact points of the brake. (not on the brake/rotor side, but on the back side)
You forgot the most important part! You forgot the paste on the back of the pads! These brakes will squeak like crazy now! The pads usually come with some sort of lubricant for the back of the pads or you can just buy it for like $1.00.

Should never wear out its just for parking break
Yeah you should be good (I think) unless you drive with the parking brake engaged.
Do any of these bolts need to be torqued? If yes, what are the torque specs? Thank you!

This is wrong.. this does not apply to 2021 rear brakes does it? I have electric parking brake like 8 to 12 clips.. it's not the same pad as well..

@@danielbaumaster5191 Turned out it was the CV transmission squeal. Noise was coming from.. Thank you for your info. I appreciate that..
@Bomberry what did you do about the cvt squeal?

Nobody does this anymore haha
I've never seen anybody NOT do it, and I work on brakes all day long@@nickolairobinson7809
Where is the rotor removal?? What the heck
