Volkswagen Atlas Front Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY (2018-2021 VW Atlas MQB, Cross Sport)

[@kalzora]

Thank you for the well produced video. My first time ever doing a brake job, and got it done in 2 hours. Saved tons of time and $.

[@barrymurphyrfc]

Just done it this afternoon before it really gets cold about 45 mins both sides. Easy peasy. Picked up my brakes yesterday from Milford. As always great to do business with FCP..

Excellent video, love to see more DIY videos on the Atlas

[@fcpeuro]

More en route!

​@@fcpeurosweet! I'm working on my wife's get her caught up on the preventative maintenance. Your videos are perfect. Love the list of tools up front.

Can you do a video of changing the brake fluid and bleeding for the 21 atlas? Thanks

[@armandoo2950]

Thanks Mike!!

[@fcpeuro]

Anytime, Armando!

[@MiltonGatlin]

Do you bleed your breaks

[@ClimbingColorado]

Thanks for the video!

[@fcpeuro]

Thank you for watching!

[@kennthaful]

Omg, perfect video 🎉

[@fcpeuro]

Glad you think so!

[@davem3988]

I have a 2022 Atlas, would there be any changes vs 2021 ?

[@mylesbrady8083]

I also have a 2022, I just did this today. It is exactly the same. The part numbers for the rotors and pads may be different though, so keep that in mind.

[@andrewmclaren858]

I thought those 13mm screws on the calipers were single use only; can you confirm?

[@fcpeuro]

Re-using them once or twice is not a problem; you will need to clean them up and re-apply the thread locker to them. Often times pad manufacturers include them with the pads.

[@geckx7]

why remove the caliper from the carrier if you're just going to remove it too?

[@fcpeuro]

If you are not replacing the brake pads, you can do that. If you are doing pads, then you will want to separate the two.

[@JohnDale-k1o]

Why replace the rotors? Shouldn’t be needed unless a problem or warped.

[@qazinabeel840]

Idk how you do it so easily. This has been the worst experience of my life

[@travisabdelhamed]

Is there any difference when doing the rears?

[@tire_reviews]

You have to tell the car to wind back the ebrake or carefully wind it in

[@travisabdelhamed]

@@tire_reviews yeah i just found he made another video for the rear, thank you!
