That caulk gun trick is absolutely genius!! Thank you for this video!!!

caliper pin lubrication is not general purpose grease. Petroleum products will damage the rubbers. Always use a specific brake lubricant on all brake components,

Great video. Extremely helpful. You saved me a bunch of time figuring out the process. Thanks!

Great video! Appreciate the effort put into this concise and easy tutorial. Doing a coworkers brakes shortly with this car and wanted to know roughly what was in store. This is a very basic and easy to service setup, especially with the ease of returning the piston to fully open for the brake caliper. My VW is frustrating as it requires turning it to reset it whereas this is just a pressure system. Again, thanks!

I really enjoyed watching your guiding video which shows how to replace brake pads. Actually from both aspects, the technical issue and also the small talk. After watching hundreds of videos on how to change brake pads, I was surprised that you're the only guy who doesn't apply grease to the ends of the pads at the sliding area. It got me thinking that you might be right. Greasing the edges may cause dust and dirt to accumulate in the sliding area. I wonder what is the formal procedure at the manufacturer. Are the brake pads in a new car greased?

If you live in an area that is prone to rusting, grease may be of some help. I live in a dry area with little rain and no snow. I also live in the city so no dirt roads to worry about. So my brakes stay clean for a very long time. As far as the manufacturer putting grease on them, the answer is no they do not. They just assemble and ship it as is. In fact most people don't know that most cars are not even given an alignment at the factory. They just put them as close and possible and ship it. If you need an alignment, the dealer is supposed to do it for you.

No break grease on guides, clips and back of pads??

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Not needed in my climate. In fact it may cause noise in my situation. If you live in a very wet, snowy, dusty or place where salt is used, then you need to use it there.

If the master cylinder cap is removed before pushing back the piston brake fluid will spill over so I leave it on now without consequence or am I missing something?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

If there is enough room in the master cylinder then you have no problem the way you are doing it. I would suggest to crack the top off and just leave it placed on top so it wont spill but you released any pressure that could build up inside the unit.

how have you liked the tucson has it been reliable any big repairs? im thinking of buying one have you got a lot of miles on it?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It has been a trouble free vehicle in my opinion. The only thing that went bad was the water pump and that was replaced under warranty. Had a few recalls like most vehicles, all taken care of for free. It has over 100K now so it's out of warranty but so far no problems.

Sounds like you take ideas for your videos from South Main Auto.

We need one from the same car but the brake roles, disc

[@inspirevlogger9709]

when fitting new pads or discs shouldnt i release bleeding valve? just to avoid getting any dust/rust into abs/break system and than causing problems with break valve jamming ect?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You can do that, BUT I have found that your method can lead to air getting in to the system. The method I showed will not cause any problems because the brake system is a closed system. NO dust or debris will be pushed into the ABS system. You are just pushing the fluid back from where it came, and it is a closed system. So there is no harm to your system. The dust and dirt that is outside on the brake pads will stay outside and not go in your lines. If it does, then you have a leak and your brakes will already be failing.

What is factory spec for tightening bolts?
