[@mohcenlp23]

Can i use those brake pads and rotors on my fiat abarth or they are different

[@ejsgarage]

@@mohcenlp23 I think so

[@jonathanlazaro2021]

if anyones having trouble with the bolt @ the 8:52 mark ( caliper to frame bottom) this is the only thing that worked for me: " Capri Tools 13 mm WaveDrive Pro Combination Wrench for Regular and Rounded Bolts " took me 2 days i tried every other trick in the book

[@edsinger1600]

Thank you. Finally got to watch this one today. I love doing brake jobs, so I’ll do mine this summer. I’ll have to make sure my phone is fully charged so I can follow you step by step.

[@ejsgarage]

My pleasure Ed. It was pretty fast to do the rear brake, than 30 mins per side if I didn't have to talk to the camera. 😀

Nice job, EJ. I like the way you put some humor at the end of the video.

[@ejsgarage]

Thank you very much. The rear of every car is different and I am surprised the Fiat 500 rear brake doesn’t use the electronic brake system.

[@TheNortheastAl]

@@ejsgarage I was surprised when you said you put on the handbrake, but were still able to turn the rear wheel. Was the handbrake on at the time you replaced the rotors?

[@ejsgarage]

It was on and it turned, some car won’t do turn if the hand brake is on.

[@TheNortheastAl]

@@ejsgarage it does seem that it should not turn because that is supposed to keep your car from rolling away of it is parked and not in gear. Maybe the cable has stretched. Check to see if that happened. It is strange for the handbrake to work that way.

[@ejsgarage]

Maybe I didn’t pull it all the way. I will check when I do driver’s side 😀

[@johncard007]

Nice video! I'm pretty sure that the inboard brake pad was fitted the wrong way round as the brake wear tab on the pad is supposed to face toward the rotor (Disc here in the UK) so that when the pad wears down to a certain point the metal tab contacts the rotor and makes a sound as you brake to alert you to the fact that it is time to replace the pads. 👍

[@ejsgarage]

Thank you very much John

[@jonathanlazaro2021]

ya i think mine was the same way cause i never heard the sound and mine was rubbing bare metal

Love it Jeff. Love to see the humour. Looking epic my friend. Love you too!! ❤️❤️

You're such a good teacher, except this lady's doing her own brakes. I have a 500L though, will there be much difference?

[@ejsgarage]

Thank you very much Sara. It will be the same steps 😊

[@walterhankin46]

Not me leaving the handbrake on and struggling for 45 minutes before realizing it while in the hardware store almost buying a pry bar….

Very informative.. Nice video

You, my friend are very skilled! How are the parrots?🧡🙏👍1

Milica! It is so good to hear from you again! I hope you, your husband and your family are doing well during the pandemic. We are doing well and the parrots are doing well too :) Thank you.

@@ejsgarage Glad to hear you're Ok. We are doing fine, thank you. 🌞

[@bobbybarrett7477]

Thanks for this. I'll be doing my brakes next weekend. This will really help. I can't find the torque specs tho. Any suggestions?

[@ejsgarage]

My pleasure. 75 to 85 ft/lbs

@@ejsgarage thanks. Where do you get your specs etc for the fiat 500. I can't find a proper repair manual anywhere

[@georgiabraun9675]

I did not remember if there were pins and a bolt and nut like on the rear caliper?

[@sirhhenry9379]

Love your videos...! You should alternate tightening of the wheel lug nuts to ensure even torque and fastening to the wheel assembly. Do you still have the Cayenne Turbo?

[@ejsgarage]

Thank you very much. I traded in the Cayenne for the BMW M6.

[@TheIonelll]

Great video. However how do you adjust handbrake after this? Is it any other way.. other than cable behind the Central console between seats?

[@ejsgarage]

Thank you very much. The adjuster is located in the center console between the seats.

Puede bang c clamp para ma push the piston

[@caseys-tiny-home]

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 The end!

[@Legendarygamer0202]

If I recall the 16 inch alloys are only supposed to be 75 lbs feet of torque right?

[@ejsgarage]

Most automotive lug nuts are tightened to 90 - 120 ft. lbs., trucks will be more, about 120-150 ft. lbs. range.

[@johneppenauer6772]

Don't need a special tool to compress the pads. Just use a C clamp.

[@ejsgarage]

C clamp will work if you don’t have the special tool.

[@johncard007]

A G clamp will not work effectively as you have to rotate the piston in as well as push the piston (this is because it also acts as a hand brake).

[@johneppenauer6772]

@@johncard007 "G" clamp ? Never heard of a G clamp. I use a C clamp

[@johncard007]

@@johneppenauer6772 In Great Britain they are called a G clamp because with the threaded rod they look like a capital 'G'.
