[@RonSullivanHitting]

Really great! Thanks for the video

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Thank you. I hope your brake job goes smooth!

[@lookherejack]

Need to update info, caliper bolts are torqued to 23 in the rear and 44 in the front. You should mention that in comments. Also 70 for rear and 85 for front bracket bolts.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Thank you. Did I give bad info in the video or in the description or both?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I just checked the description, I had it right there. Thanks for the catch. I can't change the video once it's been posted but the description has the correct info.

[@lookherejack]

@@DCAutoEnhancementstill the best video on the job bro! Everyone agrees you do a great job instructing. Just wanted to mention because I broke the caliper pin bolt over torquing on the back. You were specific and I didn’t pay close enough attention.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@lookherejack thank you!

[@sbu12swcc]

You need to modify your comments about the brake caliper bracket bolt size, it still says 18MM, and you said in the video its really 21MM. also what about the grease you used to lubricate the caliper pins? I have heard it shouldn't be an oil based but instead it should be a silicone based to prevent it from damaging the rubber seals. any thoughts on that issue?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

CRC makes a brake caliper synthetic grease that I have been using which is silicone based. To be honest, I don't pretend to be an expert on these things. I just try to help people that might have less experience than myself. Thank you for finding the socket size discrepancy, I'll make that change.

[@Handeee805]

As i was finishing and putting the 10mm bracket, i broke the bolt inside. Shiuld i worry about it? The bracket is just hanging loose

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Is it one hold the hose to the strut or was it a bolt holding the caliper to the main caliper bracket? Sorry I don't recall which one the 10 mm bolt was.

[@DevinSheehanDrasko]

I had the same thing happen lol. What did you end up doing about it?

[@grimmshadyyy]

I can not for sake of my life get that 21 mm bolts off to take the caliber off

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Do you have a jack with a removable handle that will fit over your ratchet, or a long breaker bar?

[@grimmshadyyy]

@@DCAutoEnhancement yes

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

If you have room, try to get the jack handle on the ratchet or use the breaker bar to break the bolt loose.

[@grimmshadyyy]

@@DCAutoEnhancement i actually tried doing that with a jack and still didn’t budge

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@grimmshadyyy I work I had another idea for you. I have used a butane torch to heat the bolt before but that's usually a last resort
