[@partyjazzandblues4282]

Hey Cousin… Followed your instructions on my 2010 town and country. You made the job, easy - peezy! ‘ Saved me hundreds $$…and I feel rather pleased with myself. Thanks for posting!

[@ElDavidThomas]

Hey thanks for the video. Definitely helped first time doing the van breaks. Now onto the backs

The pads are a real SOB to fit in. You really have to look closely to avoid bending that little. spring loop . I may wind up touching the ends up on my grinding wheel. MY battery electric impact gun worked perfectly on the big 21mm bolts. Just turnthe front part of the wheel outward.

[@tradermario7297]

I did that. Seems reasonable to me. Ya want them to move freely

[@randymartin2165]

When you compress the caliper pistons it will likely raise the level of fluid in your brake fluid reservoir under the hood, so be careful not to let it overflow. I use an old turkey baster to remove excess brake fluid and I put it in a plastic container or old jar. Don't reuse this fluid, dispose of it at your local reclamation center.

Correct - but if you're confident no one has ever added fluid to your vehicle (since the last pad/rotor replacement) there should be room for the fluid in the reservoir.

Is there no need to bleed the brake lines?

[@RepairNut]

No need unless you disconnect the actual brake line. But after you are done just pump the brakes several times until the pedal gets firm to make sure the pistons get compressed back against the brake pads.
