Did you mic the rotors to see if they were still within specs?

MISSING A FEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS HAHA 1. BLEEDING THE BRAKES? 2. PUTTING GREASE ON THE MOUNTING BRAKETS SO THE PADS MOVE EASILY AND DONT MAKE NOISE? 3. TOPPING OFF THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR TIL ITS FULL AGAIN? THOSE ARE ALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING SHOWN HERE AND ARE NECESSARRY TO HAVE YOUR BRAKES WORK CORRECTLY HAHA SMH

1. Opening the hydraulic system is not part of a standard brake pad replacement so bleeding is not necessary. 2. The bracket clips are there to provide a smooth surface for the pads to slide on, greasing them may provide extra protection against brake squeaking, but isn’t necessary. 3. The video mentions checking fluid level and topping off if necessary. You’re welcome.

You don’t have to bleed brakes after changing pads
