the inboard pads get sqeaker and it always sits ontop, this is because the inboard pad always wears first and has piston contact while outboard pad drags and recives less wear
you go pretty crazy with that grease :D ... but its good (I understand why).. Thanks for the advice do you know if all rear breaks are like that? I have an Olds Cutlass Supreme.. and Its my first car with all round rotor brakes, and I am nervous on changing them. Thanks ahead :D
@richpin06a I just changed my brakes... For other ppl lookin for sumin on the olds cutlass supreme.. you need to Twist the brakes into the cylinder.. they dont just push in :-/ well Theres my little piece of advice :D and thanks for the informative video too That helped me as well
@richpin06a Looks like a lot easier. I also do the old pad and c clamp method. I was afraid of trying to do the back but this looks easy. I'm nervous about the drums. I am going to change a friends rear and they have the disc rotor pads version so glad to see it's basically like the front change.
Don't forget, you want to use brake cleaner and clean all the oil off the rotor that was put there by the manufacturer to prevent rust during shipping/storage.
Great vid. How come you don't bleed the brakes? I know you havn't opened the system. But, for peace of mind and adding fresh fluid I like to do it. I did a front pad/rotor replacement on the front of my 2006 Sonata, I had a little air in the left rear line some how, I'm assuming it was air. The fluid shot out and sounded like a hiss when I opened the bleeder valve. Anyways, I bled out about 1/2 pint of brake fluid.
@studpuppy69 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Why risk stripping or breaking a bleeder valve for no reason? A properly functioning brake system won't have any air in it. I'd take a careful look at your hoses and connections if you're getting air in your lines.
@Proverbs1x26refurbed It's still good to bleed out some of the old nasty fluid in there. People do things different, but I've read where people open the bleeder valve when they compress the cylinder.
The dont fix it if its not broken does not apply to everything. Example, on a Saturn SW2 it had a leaking radiator and water pump plus a broken fan. I replaced the thermostat, it was stuck or leaking and we replaced the hoses and changed the coolant. Preventative maintenance.
@AutoTechHector Since there was air in one of the lines it was a good choice. Brake fluid ages and needs changing, a perfect time to replenish some brake fluid. I call it Preventative Maintenance.
Fantastic video! Thanks alot.

NICE job rich that is a neat tool for pushing the piston back in, i always use a C clamp with the old pad to push it back in, but thats neat~!

When your compressing the caliper, shouldn't you remove the cap to the brake fluid reservoir?

Your videos have saved me a ton of money and time, Can you do a video on rear drum brakes?

Nice Vid..good idea to open the brake reservoir cap so when you push in caliper pistons the pressure does not blow seals.
