 Hello boys and girls, we got a Maserati today. This is the Quatro Porte 2010 Quatro for four and I guess Porte means door, so a four-door Maserati Great name Sounds good So I did rear brakes another while ago to this car and the spark plugs Cleaned the throttle body. It had a check engine light was running rough That actually fixed it just doing spark plugs and cleaning the throttle body had a issue with the locks no not like the wind drivers window and Little things here and there didn't really bother to do any videos on it, but what got me Today the reason why I'm doing this video is because whoever was doing brakes on this car. I Think it was over a year ago or so. This car sits a lot. Keep that in mind so I was doing the rear brakes and You're not gonna believe it well now you are because I just took the front brakes apart But the guy came to me with a grinding noise from the rear and as you can hopefully see these rotors are Brand new as well as the brake pads Now what happened was you know when somebody comes to me and with the brake problem You know and the car has rims You can see right through the rim and you can look at the outside pads and see how much they're they're worn Right, so that's what I did. There was a lot of pad left at least 70% on the outside at least but got on the rack, you know looked on the inside pad and I Could see that the rotor is eaten. It's notes. It's so it's metal on metal action, right? so started taking everything apart and Well, if this was a reaction video Then it would be at first would be like What? Then it would be like Really and then it would be like what tough The inside pad was installed The other way around but that's not it So fix the rear The guy didn't have parts. I was I was supposed to do parking brakes This is a it's got drum brakes and the rotors are drums inside as well So that the parking brakes are inside the rotor so I would have to take it all apart so I put it back together parked it outside and As I was backing it out. I heard more grinding from the front this time But then I thought maybe I looked at the outside rotors. They were rusty. I thought maybe okay It's just from sitting and the rotors are just nasty outside on the outside at least I didn't bother to look on the inside I was in a hurry like I said the guy didn't have enough parts I knew I was gonna bring it in again, but heard the grind parked it whatever Now just just now out of curiosity, you know, I got nothing to do. I put it back on the rack and You know, I'll just show you do you see what I see Alright, so this pad right here is in backwards Yes, so I called the guy and ask him what's going on who did this, you know, so he tells me a little story He did breaks out on the parking lot somewhere whatever for really cheap, you know the guy trying to save money You know, he's got a Maserati. He's trying to save money so the guy comes in he does his front pads whatever from bake pads and And the brakes start squeaking six months later So the guy comes back and regresses the pads and that's probably where When he does this this inner pad is in backwards Look at this rotor. It is eaten away Outside, I mean these these need to be replaced anyways, but How do you do this? How the hell do you do this? Right? So this is the right way Wrong way right way Wrong way, how do you I mean, how do you make this kind of mistake? You know, and then who's really at fault? What kind of a mechanic was this guy that was working on this car and If you own the Maserati, why are you trying to save money for on your brakes? Have someone do it on the parking lot. These are actually very easy to replace these these bramble Calipers all you do is if you want to just do pads, then you just remove these pins There is no clips or anything like this Little tiny pins over here You have to just knock these out knock one out pull this out then knock out the other Then this pad these pads will slide out before that you can you can put a flat screwdriver in in between the Pad and the rotor and try to press in the pistons You got two on each side. Then if you're gonna replace the rotor, what you got to do is take these these are Ellen I'm guessing 12 maybe I'm guessing right now These two and this whole thing comes out and obviously this little guy here and this whole rotor Will come off and what the hell is this and this not to mention. I mean Seriously, okay guys, that's it for this one. See you soon
