Best video yet. You didn’t waste any time and you got str8 to the point
Excellant video, You know what your doing 100%, I wish you were near me I would have you work on my cars as my mechanic... This is the ways i use to work on my cars in the past, throughly, clean and the right way.....Great job
Call me pedantic but... DON'T force the old brake fluid from the caliper/piston back up into the system. It's been heated and abused for years already. You are forcing it back up the line, potentially into the anti-lock actuators.. Also's open the bleed screw and capture the old nasty fluid.. then add new brake fluid at the reservior
Thanks for sharing, you're Impala is very clean compare to mine 😁
boy loves his brake cleaner haha
THANK YOU!!! ONLY VIDEO ON UA-cam THAT SHOWS THE TORX BOLT ON THE ROTOR!!!
Lol fail to remove that and you’re gonna be beating on your routers forever thinkin theyre rusted on like me hahaha
This guy ACTUALLY Knows what he’s doing unlike literally every other video for the impala on UA-cam
Liked the instructions on this appreciate it
Thank you sir for making this.
Was it me or did you change the caliper location?
Nahh it looks like he switched sides. He started on the passenger side and finished on the driver side
Wipe the pins clean with a rag before applying new grease. Also, make sure the master cylinder fluid level isn't too full before and after compressing the caliper.
Did you reuse the rotors? Will a shop TURN them for just anyone and how much is a rwasonable charge for that?
Thank you for the help 💯
my problem is the bolts that hold the caliber bracket, Do you have to have a shop put the bolts in
Thankyou for a well made clear video. You made life easier man. Appreciate it.
My question is why did he change the rotors, usually when it's like that once you press the brakes all that Rust comes off. long as the brake pads don't wear all way down and ruin the break rotor they fine right🤔
Thank You
do you own a shop? or doing this to help other and save money for DIY's?
Im assuming this is also a similar setup on a 2007 Buick Lacrosse?
thats weird the brakes look like the same ones off a ford F150 triton haha atleast i know how to change these ones.
Nice informative video for the person who has never changed their own brakes before. O'Reilly's auto parts will resurface rotors. Thank u
Don't you also have to change the caliper slides? I thought they came with the purchase of the brake pads
good video the only thing I can't understand is the caliper bolts come up as 133 foot pounds . I also called a local gm dealer in the parts department and they also stated 133 foot pounds ? does that seem crazy for a 15mm bolt ?
How Much Did They Charge You to Machine Your Rotors?
$10 a piece.
Thats cheap and fair eventually you have to get new ones like I did i had mine turned 3 times any more they get to thin and heat can warp or crack them. Any good machine shop will mic them and not just tell you they need to be reppaced.
super, concise video...very clear!
The chirper belongs on the inside of rotor just like it was when you pulled off the pads on the passenger side! When you put the pads on the driver side you had the chirper on the outside.Did I see this correctly?
it doesn't matter which side and alot of pads come with them on both pads.
So my rotor retain screw stripped out on the first turn because it was so corroded. Do I need that still?
No you don't at all. If it's stripped out. Just drill the screw out, And don't worry about it ever again :) Your lug nuts when the tire is back on will hold it all in place :) Cheers
this is how you do a HOW TO video. great stuff man!
