Do you have the link for the parts

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

I just added the links in the video description for you 👍

[@TheJls181]

Thanks for the video. Just completed the brake and rotor job on my Challenger and you were right those two bolt were definitely difficult to get out. Took about 45 minutes to get them out. All in all not that bad of a installation.

[@thunderfox53]

Thanks man got a 2017 challenger gt due for brakes and got thebparts ordered, this guide reallly came in handy

[@lukeiamyourfather3511]

2014 Challenger RT with 65,000 miles.Caliper mounting bracket bolts were tight all the way off.Had some locking compound , from the factory. Slider pins bolts were not hard to get off, tight. As I remember.

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

Great job! 🎉

[@Doug_Hefernen]

Good job brother Thanks!

[@justmynametonyd8045]

2016 Challenger. I just went through this with the front bracket bolts yesterday and today. I soaked them and was about to use heat. Enormous amount of torque the whole length of the bolt. Yellow thread locker was on it also. The bolt actually protrudes out of the bracket behind the rotor about a quarter inch exposed to the elements. I am not sure if it was a rusted bolt tip, or the thread locker. There was a good amount of almost clear substance in the bracket threads. After a good clean up of the threads, they went in all the way by hand. SOB of a job!

[@Crazyazzb]

Thanks for the heads up 🤦🏾‍♂️ im about to replace some pads on a 2017 sxt

[@justmynametonyd8045]

@@Crazyazzb Long swivel socket wrench. My neighbor saw me fighting with it and brought it over to me. Still a fight, but I was not getting one side off with the tools I had. I mean long, like a breaker bar long. Soaking overnight was no help. Good luck, hopefully your goes smoothly.

[@kraftysandwich]

Just bought a 2021 Challenger and after two months of having it I've noticed that when I hit the break at low speeds like coming to a stop, it makes a creaking sound. Not happening when turning or anything else, just breaking at low speed. Looked it up and everything I found was rather a warped rotor or bad pads. Brought me here. Thanks for the walkthrough. Hopefully this will stop the creaking.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Could be the caliper though unlikely due to how new it is- I would have to hear the sound.

[@AffirmativeAffirMATE]

It won’t

[@jsoeph45158]

Hey brother, thank you 🙏

Thank you so much! I'm about to order my set on my AWD! I really hope my stuff isn't as much of a pain as yours

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

A lot of people have confirmed in the comments that they all come with that thread crap on the bolts- at least certain years do, if not all.

[@ch-rv7gd]

Good video does look like someone sabotaged it or really didn't know what they were doing

[@swiffgotti25]

Good look bro

[@rustyv6274]

Every brake pad I’ve ever changed at that hard to get off

[@ruffdawg40]

Watched and subscribed but, I believe I missed the torque specs on the caliper bolts? What were those again please,? And thank you for taking the time to post this video

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Thanks for subscribing. I can't recall the torque specs but I know they are in the video...

Heat up thread locker to loosen it

[@ruffdawg40]

I did my wife’s 21 SXT RWD yesterday and the bolts were NOT hard to come off. Must have straightened out the bolt issue in her model

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Or it could be because the car is only a year old... Did it still have the threadlocker on the bolts?

[@ruffdawg40]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Actually, I was mistaken because I only had to do her pads. Sorry for the confusion. Your video really helped

[@msheehan1992]

Thanks for the video! I've seen other videos where people apply grease, is it a personal preference?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Apply grease to what (specific part and location)

[@msheehan1992]

@@BuckeyeBallistics on the caliper piston, the new pad clips, and on the outside edges of the pads

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yes personal preference. It could help keep things a little looser over time long term, but I never do it and never have a problem (these are our vehicles that I work on, daily drivers). And to be honest, a lot of people overdo it and get the crap on the rotors and pads which is bad- they forget about the wind while driving down the road that blows it all over the place. So if you do grease anything, it should be a very small thin film for this reason...

[@wastingtyme25]

All of mine had the yellow on it. It’s from the factory.

[@SpiritualWars]

MOPAR HOOOO CAR! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@miguelvega3320]

So it’s 2 brake pads per side?

[@DaGreatWaaagh]

Those pads stick due to factory pads have an adhesive on them, I got factory pads and they had a peel me sticker to expose the sticky shit

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

That's dumb, I wonder why the hell they did that. Never seen that before in my life...

[@MarioLopez-ei9ir]

Did you make a video for the back tire breaks?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah, link is in the description of the video.

[@markweintraut7420]

This is why we grease the caliper piston I guess.

[@aspect_cm7899]

So I warped my rotors on my 2021 dodge challenger gt is the reason because it came torqued wrong? It’s at 27,500 miles and it shakes when I break

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Could be a hot spot or rust spot on the rotors

[@richardreynolds9985]

Does those power stop pads and rotors work better than the stock ones?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yes definately. They are an upgrade...

[@freddyg1692]

Great video thank you‼️I am changing mine tomorrow hopefully goes smooth but as we all know it almost never does.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Good luck brother. I think the worst thing you'd run into is those tight bolts...

[@freddyg1692]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Bro what size were those big bolts?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

@@freddyg1692 18mm 😉 👍

[@freddyg1692]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Bro I went up to 19 and still was too small

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Then idk and somebody may have replaced yours with a different sized head or it's the difference in year or trim or something- that's why a lot of times I don't say the size because it can vary and then people don't understand. 19mm is the same as 3/4, so it might be 15/16, 7/8, or a larger mm size.

[@RonSullivanHitting]

I replaced my sons 14 challenger rotors and brake pads on front passenger side, and planning to replace other side next. I noticed what sounded like a hydraulic noise coming from that wheel after I finished up. Any ideas?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Not sure what you mean by that, I would have to hear it. And only when you hit the brakes or? I'm also unclear as to whether or not you have slotted rotors like in this video. First things that come to mind are the rotor mounted backwards if it's slotted, and whether or not the rotor had the storage grease on it and if you cleaned it off properly or not...

[@RonSullivanHitting]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Actually its not when applying breaks. Sitting in my drive moving the steering wheel back and forth. Probably not related to brake and rotor change. Maybe a power steering issue but only comes from the side I replaced and made me paranoid I screwed something up :) Thanks for taking the time

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah that sounds like power steering

[@gkman815]

The thread locker of from factory

[@dariovillacorta7584]

Bro I did my rotors and brake yesterday, those 2 mfkin bolt on the back were so tight, I only got one side and I’m doing the other today but I was a bitch alone

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

At least I wasn't the only one lol

[@Bojhjjj]

Put your clamp in from the other side and right in the middle of the pistons instead of going back and forth for no reason

[@TMartinez]

So according to AllData you’re supposed to use new caliper fastener bolts

[@miura25yearsago52]

This looks fairly simple to do on my own. I dont trust mechanics being near my challenger. How long does it take You to replace 1 rotor more or less??

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Me like 15-20 minutes if not for those stubborn bolts.

[@miura25yearsago52]

​@@BuckeyeBallistics Something tells me I'm gonna experience the same hassle or something else, because nothing ever goes flawless for me lol. Thanks for the response.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah probably, especially since a few other people commented that they had the same issue with the bolts being hard to remove. And yeah I know the feeling of starting a job thinking it's simple and then it turns into a nightmare...

[@miura25yearsago52]

​@@BuckeyeBallistics Did you bleed the brakes off camera when replacing the rotors and pads?? Because im not sure if I have to.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

No I did not, and no you don't have to.

[@victorguerrero4249]

Yellow and green are both Factory

Yes, just might be slightly different sized stuff with slightly different torque specs.

I have videos doing the clutch & flywheel on or WRX and replacing the TCM/Lead Frame in the Mustang- as an example of the more complex jobs I'm capable of.
