AutoZone Brake Job: Rear Brake Caliper Replacement

[@rzwaddell]

Great video. Watched several videos before this one. This one saved me. The Autozone loan a tool program is awesome! The Caliper Wind Back Kit did the trick...

[@asadullahdougul]

Haha , I just tried my best to push rear piston back , could not do it , then became furious on it. Hit it with hammer , and finally considered it stuck there. This video really helped me a lot and I literally laughed to watch this.

[@henryvilla7611]

Dang I’ve watched over 10 videos and yours has the best overall job details.

[@ClassicJukeboxBand]

Thanks, from an O'Reilly Auto Parts employee looking to pass the Certified Parts Professional exam!

[@user-ku6pb4vp2p]

Great video I tried the cube didn't work this video explained the kit exactly how I needed and got the job done for me in seconds thank you so much A+

[@letsgosteelers68]

Very helpful video. Had no idea there was a complete separate toolkit for compressing these calipers w/ integrated parking brake and best of all you can rent the kit for free. Pay / Rent / Return / Refund...thanks! 2000 Infinity i30 uses Die "E"

[@johnbowling8123]

Answer to what makes the piston return on a combined caliper... when hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake it brings the piston forward, when its released the bend in the brake seal pulls it back off the pads (called roll back). But as the pads wear the piston goes further and further forward, but the roll back is less so only retracts off the pads. The combinedcaliper also has a set of springs and an inner piston clutch arangement that when the pressure is sufficient it rotates the piston

[@freedomrevival1375]

What happened if using the tool wrong side and pistons got pushed all the way to the top and cannot retrieve the tool? Actually happened. Thanks!

[@kyleNL]

I used needlenose pliers on my 2011 caravan. Just took an extra minute or two for slipping a few times

[@alunroberts1439]

Thank you for that I have one now on order I did try pushing it back with pry bar. Now I know why it would not move.

[@edesir]

Thanks for the post! Fastest pad change I've ever made with this tool.

[@juliopalacio7385]

[@dukenukem5768]

I used a large G-clamp, and water pump pliers to turn the piston at the same tiime.

[@Chrisraden79]

What do you do when the piston is very hard to turn In and ends up compressing without turning

[@tonyaguilera7840]

thanks realy helped alot didint know how to compress that piston and found out that i needed the spiral kit saved me alot of time thank you again

[@lynnspeenburgh4577]

This video information really helped. Thank you

[@tazhawk3132]

Great video. Can you tell me how to adjust the parking brake on a 2008 Town and Country, engine 4.0, thanks

[@germansalazar3481]

Hi I recently installed a new set of rotors and pads and the left rear of the rotor is rubbing the braket of the caliper. The installation was done right but I dont know why the rotor is rubbing the braket. It makes a lot of noise when I drive it. Thank you.

[@elipro427torres7]

to push the piston back to install new pads, do u have to bleed the brakes as you push the piston back? i ask cause this caliper was not on a car with the hose line in it..

[@mynsxt6]

any videos on the new EPB rear brakes?

[@frankmorgan5234]

WHAT CAR!!! are those for,I'm sure not all cars use that type of caliper.

[@tobinsatterwhite9516]

has anyone changed a caliper like that shown in this video if so how did you go about taking off the e-brake cable and putting it back on going to be doing this job soon any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated

[@mrmrsmartz]

You do not have to remove the brake cable unless you are taking the caliper off the vehicle.

[@tobinsatterwhite9516]

Thanks ! You are correct!

[@bogathlorant]

I tried to rebuild my rear caliper but instead of unwinding the piston I pried it out, did I damage anything?

[@5hawks]

Why does the piston have to be rotated? Is something threaded in there?

[@zeppelinkancha]

can we use this tool on any type of modern brake caliper?

[@x2malandy]

At 2:46, what I am seeing is that the thread on the tool, (maybe a 5/8 - 20) must match the pitch, threads per inch or whatever. Then, I conclude that all calipers must be using the same pitch weather American made or foreign made. Otherwise, the tool would freeze up or get loose. Just thinking. On the car, I heard that if you loosen the bleeder a little that it aid's in retracting the piston.

[@osvaldsauzins88]

x2malandy

[@jamlove75]

The tool is actually designed to handle variation in thread pitch of the piston. As you compress and turn, you also can adjust the stop plate as needed, if the pitches don't match. So, it's quite versatile!

[@BillSikes.]

x2malandy Don't losen the bleeder screw, you'll introduce air into the system, just remove the reservoir cap

[@danielgerardopandelo1148]

You are wrong, what happens when you losen a bleeder is that the fluid gets off the system but the air doesn´t get into it. It´s an error.

[@dean-gm1lg]

The tool threads are mostly a lot finer pitch you just have to keep chasing with the back plate nut

[@essmar3529]

very clear explanation and environment advice

[@rosspbarnett458]

Very informative and right to the point !

[@johnbowling8123]

The piston does not rotate back because of the inner clutch. The advance of the piston along the spindle is what keeps the handbrake cable tight and functioning as the pads wear. The turn back tool resets the piston on the actuating spindle. The spindle is pushed either by a ball in ramp mechanism or an excentric lever system.

[@paulhunter123]

well this one in the video rotated back ?

[@GastonCottoneaster]

I've been looking for some information about attaching the emergency brake cable to a new caliper. I thought this video would show the caliper being attached and hooked up but it doesn't. Is there any special technique or special took needed to attach the rear emergency brake cable? I would have thought it was under tension so I'm not sure if it is a difficult thing to attach. Does anyone know?

[@danielgerardopandelo1148]

It´s not difficult at all!!!! you only need a screwdriver

[@JoseJimenez-bd8pv]

Thanks, need for my 2014 Outlander

[@lucastimana3107]

Troquei calcos atras a viatura bloquea as rodas o que faco?

[@joebriggs9599]

Do you have to open the bleeder to release some pressure on the caliber?

[@BillSikes.]

Joe Briggs No, just remove the reservoir cap

[@anthonycope5731]

Joe Briggs. No

[@sydney-1004]

When we can change caliber.

[@janveit2226]

Is there a chance anybody would know from which car is the caliper shown in this video?

[@matthewoxley8289]

Can't believe you never said which way to turn it to get it to decompress

[@garydeandeery]

Why are the back like turn and push where the front in just push ?

[@stevehoward210]

How is this a rear caliper replacement video? You spent almost 2/3 of it compressing the piston on the existing caliper, and the other 1/3 selling product.

[@jeronicadavis2939]

how do you take off the whole rear calibre the e brakes are hard to take off

[@Mramzy31]

My god!! the whole piston came out completely. The biggest problem which got there no space to put tools between piston and rear calliper) Any Idea!! My car volt s40

[@y2knoproblem]

Where's the part that shows a rear caliper replacement?

[@mikemohr9078]

What a waist of 5 minuts

[@dr.jamesamcbean2425]

How do you change the rubber shield inside the bore?

[@flevhon]

Thank You for this video, It has solve my doubt about the direction screwing (cw or ccw?).

[@michaellaunn9372]

to bleed my brakes on my vauxhall vectra club 03 year do u have hand brake on or of plz help

[@danielgerardopandelo1148]

definitely OFF

[@ricardocasalkam]

can someone explain how the caliper auto-adjust for pad wear? how the piston rotates automatically???

[@rickcain5717]

Exactly my question! I think that putting on the parking brake turns the internal threaded adjuster thereby moving piston outward. Also. I bet there are reverse threads on some cars.

[@redihoxha2940]

What can I use instead of that specific tool?

[@jollyroger390]

vice grips, needle nose pliers

Thanks for your time.

[@JoseJimenez-bd8pv]

thanks. How you name this tool.

[@anthonybrett7]

This was just an advert for their caliper tool! Where was the instructions on the replacement? Of course, they referenced your car manual

[@dukenukem5768]

What's your problem? I didn't know about this type of caliper before, and I'm trying to change pads on a Fiat Panda. I could not push the piston in and thought it had seized. Now I know what's required I will have a go even without the special tool.

[@juansolo1617]

@@dukenukem5768 It probably won't work without the special tool. You'll strip out the notches on the piston and then the caliper is borked. To reinstall, just hook the new caliper up to the brake line, add fluid and pump the system with the bleeder open, have another guy at the bleeder to close it once it starts flowing. Then bleed as normal. A hand vacuum pump / brake bleeder tool would assist with this.

[@dukenukem5768]

@@juansolo1617 It did work. I put a G-clamp on the piston and turned the notches on the piston, alternating between tightening the clamp and turning bit-by-bit, nothing too forceful and didn't take long. I'm capable of turning notches without stripping them - I dont have ham fists.

[@dannyzukko8916]

Mine is stuck cant get it to twist

[@richdomtvvlog5585]

While driving forgot to push off the parking pedal push on off after that smell burn inside the car what burn is that please kindly reply me somebody know this situation?

[@timothyjohns8630]

If you left the parking brake on, that burning smell would be your rear brakes because when you apply the parking brake the caliper keeps the brake pads pushed against the rotor. So if you were to be driving with the parking brake on your pads would be stuck against the rotor, wearing them down

[@mrok8988]

hey how you doing 2day priceless information priceless information I had the toolset but didn't know how to use it properly thank you thank you thank you done deal. Keep up the good work and the great information

Where the FK was this tool kit when I did my wife's rear's with pliars and vice grips last weekend!!.. DAMMIT!! wish I knew this existed then!!.. glad to say I'm buying one VERY VERY soon!!!

[@thedadofchucky1232]

Title is wrong. This is how to compress the piston. Not how to replace calipers

[@miker252]

You need to line up the piston notch before installing pad

Don't use your time watching this video if you are looking for a video explaining how to replace the rear brake caliper on your vehicle.

[@scotto330]

Working on a part on the bench show us nothing!!

[@VentureStJohn]

+scotto330 The omission was pointing out the role of the bleeder screw

[@bobbg9041]

you do not need to open the bleeder, any fluids will travel back to the master cylinder, just make sure its clean fluids, or if not do a flush on your system. I used to crack open the bleeder too but you risk getting air in the system. if you do not open it you won't let air into the system. In order for Fluid mechanics to work properly you need a solid clom of fluids, introduce air and you make a weak point to the column because air will compress oil will not compress. Bleeders are only to get air out of a system, if the system is working properly all you need to do is remove some fluids from the master fill tank. If you're adding brake fluids it also means your pads are wearing down because the pistons in the calipers are moving on a sealed system without leaks. If you do not remove some of the fluids it will overflow onto your paint job on the car or on the garage floor when you push the caliper piston back in to install new pads. You only need to take off the rotor if its warped or deeply scared and needs to be turned on a lathe you can inspect run out with a dial indicator and see if the rotor is still inside factory specs with a caliper. I'm not a mechanic, so I do not know all the tricks, this is just stuff I've learned over the years from other people. I watch people work on other people's car and ask questions but I dIY my own brakes always have. Some of what I've said is what I've figured out or found out by doing mistakes. Learn from your mistakes, there ok to make once and awhile and you will. This whole rant might be one of my mistakes, you may have known all this. But somone that didn't and read this found out something new they didn't know. I'm also not 100% sure I am right. (Right)!

Genius!

[@kentstate9438]

Anyone still watch this video?

[@ilearenazpianzer1736]

Eh man, so is very easy, do it with this piece on the car and the piston full outside...

[@FirstNameLastName-cu2tq]

Thanks for this good video. I have a question. Is there a same clockwise direction for rotating of caliper piston for wheels on both sides of this 2005 Mazda 3 vehicle? A reason for asking is that on another video on KZbin is shown a caliper piston tool set with two devices - "left hand side" and "right hand side", with assumption that direction for rotation of caliper piston is different on different sides of a car. Here is a link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3bCgYaPbZhknNEm37s

[@anthonycope5731]

Dont waste money on that tool get a pair of 3 inch channel locks works better then the tool

[@roddelfernando]

toomany blah blah. i did this with simple c clamp

Hahae so good

[@timmccollor6204]

This is the worst video I watched in a while! But i should have known it said auto zone in the title. If 'replacing' a caliper you dont need to reset the piston! This is a video on how to reset a caliper at best, but still quite a sad attempt.

[@mikee7534]

Worthlesd

[@michaelmlee2964]

unless partial info, total waste of time

[@garydeandeery]

Why are the back like turn and push where the front in just push ?

[@qposton25]

garydeandeery I don't fully understand the design but I'm betting it's because the back brakes are connected to the parking/ e-brake
