At what time stamp do you see him do such?

Yep zip tie it up

So does this one

The coating only comes off of the contacted surfaces as far as I can tell. Just put on the front set for my 2018 Rav4 XLE. I should have the rear set done this weekend.

@@stevenv2190 How they holding up so far?

@@jakob.2is968 Really well. Hawk Talon rotors on all corners and Hawk HPS pads.

You must drive a Dodge just saying buddy...

@@StySaeBePitive I actually have a 2014 Mustang, So no sorry. I've done brakes on S197's many times.

correct.

does not matter new pads did not have a dimple !

Brake fluid should be bled if it is cloudy, dirty, brown or rust colored. For a street car check levels every season and it will typically need to be bled every year or two. For a track vehicle, check before every event.

Yes, especially if you’ve been topping off your brake fluid because of worn pads...it can overflow.

Yeah this video misses a lot

The WD40 debate has been legitimately tested with all sorts of rubber. WD40 is safe.

Petroleum based oil products will and do eventually deteriorate rubber products. Once more, it will serve to collect dirt/dust/etc. in a short amount of time (before it all evaporates through weathering and/or heat dissipation of braking) which will also create premature failure of caliper bolts, piston to piston seal (or boot..), and when breaking in a new set of pads can cause the pads to glaze over if used over-abundantly enough to coat the surface area of the rotor/pad contact surfaces. Why do you suppose almost all rotors come with the specific instruction of thoroughly cleaning the rotor surfaces before installing the pads and calipers? And before you answer with the quick reply of, “So you don’t leave your house and have a braking problem because of the slick surfaces that haven’t baked off yet,” remember, the original point, to which spraying wd-40 then becomes seen as “ok” by the average person, which then creates the situation discussed secondly.

@@nicholasfrench4374 I wasnt doubting the rest of your comment. Just the WD40 debate. WD40 is mostly kerosene which is used as a cleaning agent. It shouldn't be used as lubrication since it can collect dirt and dust like you have stated. This debate is heavy within the motorcycling world whether its safe to use on sealed chains because of the rubber O rings. It has been proven to be safe by people who have tested WD40 on numerous types of rubber and the company themselves have stated the same. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from.

Zach Smith I went ahead and researched it for a bit, and the aliphatic hydrocarbons derived from petroleum in the past (serving the purpose as an aid in dispensing/penetrating from aerosol), has been replaced by a mineral oil of an undisclosed type and carbon dioxide as the propellant. I’m not completely sure where/who I first heard that from, but I believe it was around 26 years ago. Even at 10 I was pretty heavy into tools and working on everything I could get my hands on. Thanks for the information. Nice to see someone else in this life who’s capable of civility. Well, I’m gonna go spray down the brakes on the wife’s coyote. She can’t stand the smell. But.....these dishes and this laundry ain’t gonna do themselves, so ya gotta teach em somehow.... 🤣

Nicholas French if you’ve been a “tech for 15 years” you wouldn’t be watching a vid on how to change break pads lmao

Yeah the grease definitely goes on the backside, it might not be grease but I've never seen coating like that on new pads before..The fact they were spraying WD40 on there and doing everything without gloves while touching the rotors, I'm not expert, but I'd recommend checking a couple other videos to make sure you get it right. I personally find ChrisFix videos extremely detailed and very easy to follow, and brakes are pretty similar to replace on most cars make/models.

Yes do not follow that crap man ! It is supposed to be on the other side of the pad... the goal is to reduce friction so your brakes don't make noise.. they would vibrate against the piston and make noise if you don't put grease there.... no grease on the pad facing the rotor... you will reduce friction and prevent brakes from working... probably resulting in a crash. ALso you have to clean your rotors with brake cleaner to remove the fabric coating... No WD40 on the piston either... The guy don't even talk about pushing/pump the brakes multiple time after installation to have the pistons back in place... also you have to warm up your brake for first use... not a good video for sure... very dangerous and will bring a lot of problems to people.

@@eastbaked9152 I also prefer ChrisFix videos, but I came to watch this one since I have a GT 05 mustang and wanted to know the torque specs, but he doesn't mention them. Do you know anything about that?

Matthew, we will have a new video of this coming out shortly. Hang tight!
