The disc brake pads on a car can be changed with the help of a ratchet and socket that will fit onto the bolts holding the calipers in place. Remember to push the pistons back when changing brake pads with help from an auto mechanic in this free video on car maintenance and repairs.

  • This is a good no nonsense video. That's about as simple as can be shown for typical disc brake applications on most vehicles.

  • YOUR ARE THE FUCKING MAN! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME SOME MONEY!

    Only child and from a 1 parent family......nobody to show me how to this. THANK YOU!!! You sir are awesome!

  • @WildlifeSeriaLKiller Nice try troll, the grease is not on the pads it's where the pads meet the calipers so it dampens the vibrations. It's called brake grease for a reason pal.

  • @thebigwarthog yea, great idea. let me know when you kill someone so I can congratulate you. Moron...... Why would you grease something prepared to stop your vehicle????? and why BEHIND the pads??? holy shit you're serious?

  • ummm.......what?

  • Good video, short & to the point.

  • how about putting some brake grease behind the pads to stop it from squeaking/

  • Thank you very much for this video! After hunting down a T60 bit, the first set of pads took me around 40 mins to change. The second set, less than 10 mins. This was my first time changing brakes. Thanks again for the video!

  • @Lex5576 u mean brake pads :) not the rotor

  • how to remove a bolt that is really really snug and rusted and it's head has bad grooves due to trying to take it out? Thank You!

  • to change both side (2) should take less than 1 hour. From pulling the jack, taking the tools out, putting them back in, and clean up.
