  • @casibsp It was a quick demo, but you are 100% correct. Hopefully people spend the $15 on the book.

  • What a fucken dumbass u never put new pads without resurfacing the rotors or putting new ones ...

  • @mrjost55

    Save the brake fluid in your baster and use it for stuffing on thanksgiving :)

  • does anybody know if you have to bleed the brakes after replacing the pads ?? or is it only if you lose fluid at any point ??

  • not taking the extra steps to do a professional job is the difference between a shade tree mechanic and a professional mechanic.

  • @MarstaJNZ "What was the point in removing some of the break fluid ? And is that clamp really needed to descompress?"

    I believe he took out some brake fluid so that when he compressed the piston with the c-clamp, the fluid wouldn't go above the max level. The c-clamp makes it so much easier it's 100% worth using. I used to change brake pads without a c-clamp and it took about twice as long because I used to have to mess with trying to compress the pistons by hand or using other tools.

  • @hackingtime88 "why are you messing with the brake fluid?"

    He didn't explain it, but I believe he took out some brake fluid so that when he compressed the piston with the C-clamp, the fluid wouldn't go above the max level.

  • i just go by the feels when i tighted the bolts.

    why are you messing with the brake fluid?
