Thank you for this great video. I had no idea what the sideburn was for.

[@esurles1]

You make putting those pads in look so easy been working on trying to get the pads in the caliper for an hour now

[@viirusiiseli]

I know it's a year later, but be sure to have a file on your brake pad change job, file the pad from where it fits into the groove in the brake housing, so they are nice and loose in there. Otherwise if they get stuck, you'll have dragging brakes.

Thank you sir, very helpful video.

[@3obardThawn3]

Great video. More food this vehicle please and thank you

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks! 🙂

[@55chevyfish]

Excellent video. The only thing I could suggest. Put a clear hose on the bleeder. Open the bleeder as you push the pistons back in the caliper. Keeps from possible damage to the master cylinder. Again, great video, Thanks.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks! Good suggestion 👍

[@gerrydawson9250]

The spring clips on the bottom of the pads are wear indictors. They scream like a banshee when the pad wears down and they touch the disks.

[@sabsbux]

Do you recommend putting disc brake grease on the slides to avoid brake squeak?

[@DJFOXWILL]

What’s the Torque on the wheel? 73-89?

[@georgeadams5208]

doing this job without knowing that pad orientation matters so much would be verrrry frustrating. Thanks. I use a small file to clean out the channels in the caliper.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Nice tip with the file. I might try that 👍

[@push137]

Nice shit thx what about the rear pad i bought some brand new but for the rear pad theres only one pad with a metal branch which side it goes?

[@push137]

4 pad, 3 are identical but theres only one with a metal branch the brand is Brembo

[@deepdishvideo]

is it necessary to bleed the caliper?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

It's only necessary if the brakes overheated for some reason. Otherwise you should be fine 👍

[@sherwinsula3182]

What is the oem PCD? If i will buy big brake kit is it am must to know the oem PCD? Thanks

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

There should only be one PCD option for this vehicle so no need to know it. Any brake kit designed for this vehicle should work 👍
