  • It's funny he'd go through the trouble of getting aftermarket rotors and pads but not the caliper? And why get semi-metallic pads if all the brake dust will dirty everything up...

  • @RascalAtaxia The point of the video was to show a simple maintenance job. Replacing calipers is a whole different ballgame that is much more involved. We have other videos in the motorztv channel showing that.

  • dude, you are so cool. thanks.

  • @northbeachfilms No, you are for watching Motorz! :)

  • 0:03 Easy there guy. Don't hurt yourself now.

  • @21min56secs You know what, my brake piston tool locked up on me recently so I grabbed my 4 (or 5) inch C-clamp and it turned out to be much easier than the brake piston tool. So, I'd say just use what you've got!

  • if i bought bigger rotors then stock, would i have to change anything else?

  • What about servicing the brake caliper bracket ??? You MUST remove all rust from under the fit clips, clean and lube the slide pins with a silicone based lubricant, and use a small amount of anti seize on the ears of the new pads to ensure that the pads move smoothly. Otherwise your pads will hang up in the mount from the rust, and burn out in 6 months.

    Lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU MUST PUMP THE PEDAL AFTER YOU ARE DONE, OR YOU WILL CRASH YOU CAR THE FIRST TIME YOU TRY TO STOP !!!!!!!

  • are specific pads needed for specific rotors like material wise

  • HERY CHRIS I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR VERY VERY CLEAN & EXPLAINED VIDEO WITH VERY GOOD VOLUME AS IM KIND OF DEAF.. AND HOW PRO YOU ARE THANK YOU AGAIN

  • @kingDavid276 Thats sad and the main reason I never attended tech school.The only way your gonna know how to work on something is to jump head first into it,tear it apart and put it back together.I have been a mechanic for15years now and dont have one certificate.That alone has cost me a good job or two and a dealership will never hire me because Im not"book smart"Thats the difference between me and the tech grad I talk the talk and walk the walk where as the UTI guy cant do both. no offense

  • imin tech school.. UTI now and this video helped better than my instructor

  • Great video, thanks!

  • @houser4201 This question has been answered a few times in the comments before you, but to summarize--they were installed in the correct direction and this was confirmed with the manufacturer.
