I also understand that most of you do not have the luxury of lifts so please make sure you secure your vehicle on jack stands before you attempt to even remove your tire. Using your tire iron, loosen the bolts on your vehicle first, then after they are loosened, you can use a jack to to lift your car and and place jack stands underneath. As soon as they are secure on the jack stands, you can then proceed to remove the tires. Your next step would be to remove the cap off of your master cylinder and the video will show you the rest of the steps.

you shouldn´t let the caliper hang from the rubber hose its bad practice, use a tie to hang the caliper from somewhere in the car.

ha ha 2:06 he hits the car with the wrench

[coryboy345]

@armin456 It's not his car, he doesn't care... Exactly why I like to do all my own work on my cars if possible...

[Bebopopotamus]

Hey guys, did you know these were zinc plated, which makes them last a lot longer?

[pugzlie18]

You don't have to put the screws back in when installing new rotors they're only there for manufacturing i.e. so the rotor doesn't fall of when the saddle is put on.

[OriginalSleeeepyhead]

4:10 do you have to do that with the retractor? or can you leave it as it is if it fits?

[DuckyBalboa]

nice video!! im planning on replacing my factory rotors on a 99 cavalier with a power stop brake kit. it has cross drilled and slotted finish.... reason for is im tired of hearing squeeks and replacing the damn things often with bargained crap. any suggestions or advice, brake knowledgable fellows?

[jeieien]

i hope people realize that you actually must check the direction of the INTERNAL cooling vanes in order to determine the proper orientation of the rotors and not go by the slots and/or the drilled holes...

[punkrockloser7]

lube the slide pins with plenty of silicone grease, lube the back of the pads/inside the shims with silicone grease, clean your slide pins/replace if pitted, , dont overtorque the slide pins, dont get grease or oil on your pad surface, dont get oil or grease on your rotor, use clean gloves when handling the pads/new rotors, brake clean everything before disasembly, and bungee the caliper so it doesnt hang on the brake line, brake clean everything liberally/even net rotors.

[CampinBush]

Stupid question: What do you do with the old rotor?

[dkhaha]

he didnt even service the the caliper braket? i think this guy learned how to do this that day lol

[BADtimmay]

that felt awkward to watch... i cant really explain why, but it just felt awkward...
