Installing New Brake Pads & Rotors on 2001 Olds Silhouette

[2020iee]

Not really and machining rotors are easy just have to learn how .

@2020iee

You need a lathe to machine rotors. I don't have one. I also know how to operate a lathe. If i had access to one I definately would do it.

[2020iee]

Should've just remachined the rotors

[paisteboy]

@2020iee

New rotors are so cheap. I don't think it's worth the hassel.

How do you change rear brake shoes?

[paisteboy]

@Harmonnics23

Not sure. Never did drum brakes before. Sorry.

[monkeyboy563]

Watching this was scary! I have a gold '01, have a gotie(?), glasses, the same build, am to cheap to buy the caliper tool, and wait til the pads are toast also! It's like watching my self

[paisteboy]

@monkeyboy563

Haha. Yeah. Funny coincidence.  I concidered buying the tool a couple times but still haven't.

[hwfixiturself]

Here's a tip, take the calipers off, then separate the caliper bracket from the caliper. and ALWAYS lube the slide pins.

I really enjoyed your video, I found it to be most helpful!

[paisteboy]

@silverado0499

Glad it helped.

[BandOnTheRun87]

wow why did you wait so long to change these?

[paisteboy]

@BandOnTheRun87

No good reason. Procrastination i guess.

[mrwiggles2]

Always, always use jack stands to hold the vehicle. I've had jacks fail, trust me you do not want to be anywhere near it when it comes down.

[paisteboy]

@mrwiggles2

I agree. I wasn't under the car so I got a little to confident. The only thing is that a jack stand at the lowest height is a lot higher than I would like it to be. I guess better safe than sorry though.

should be good now with new brakes

[paisteboy]

@cat123456789101

Oh yeah. The brakes were metal to metal. It made a nasty grinding sound when you would stop. Works great now and is so quiet again. It only cost me 55 bucks to do it too.

[cat123456789101]

@paisteboy was it done to all four?

[paisteboy]

@cat123456789101

No. Only the front brakes are disc brakes. The rear brakes are drum brakes.
