2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan - Front Brake Pad and Rotor Replacement

[@MomMom-m9h]

Now someone when they did my breaks they took something off under the hood so the break fluid will be ok. Now is that needed to be done before messing with the breaks? Thank you 🙏🏾

Thanks for your question! It's common to check and potentially drain some brake fluid before replacing brakes to prevent overflow when pushing back the caliper pistons. However, procedures can vary. At Youcanic, we provide guides, resources and our exclusive YOUCANIC scanner to help guide you through car maintenance procedures. We are here to empower all car owners, so feel free to visit us at www.youcanic.com for more information and assistance. We even have factory repair manuals for more detailed procedures.

I crack open the bleed valve built into it when compressing the brake pad assembly while also making sure its raised up so it doesn't keep draining fluid. Worked for me. Maybe not by the book. Not sure. Felt like if the fluid had nowhere to go it might damage something in the system.

Worked. Excellent job, sir. Thank you. New sub. Salute ❤
