How to Change Front Brake Pads & Discs Chevrolet Cruze 2017-2019

🔴In this video I will be changing the front brakes and discs on this 2017 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4 liter turbocharged engine. If you have a growling or grinding noise coming from the front of the car when you press the brakes, it could be time for you to change your brake pads and rotors. Fix noisy brakes, stuck guide pins, uneven brake pad wear, rusty rotors, pulsating brake pedal with the procedure in this video.
If you have comments or question feel free to let me know.

Getting ready to do mine next time it warms up. Thanks for the video I've never done this before I feel good watching this video over and over again

[@tamarawidrick5177]

DID IT!!! Thanks for the excellent tutorial!

[@badmudafuga8074]

Thanks for the detailed walk through....especially found the list of tools needed very helpful as I could screenshot it to gather needed tools, particularly the T30 I usually don't need. Thanks again!!

[@OneTrickTech]

You're very welcome!

[@95Jpollard]

Awesome! I needed to know how to do this so I can paint the wheels and calipers this week! Thanks man!

[@OneTrickTech]

Awesome! Good luck!

Thanks for the video

[@LloydBarrywebdesign]

Excellent video this is quality content

[@crystalgiesecke244]

Thank you, wanted to see if there was anything funky before I got in there!

[@rodricksmith3879]

Thanks

[@DarthCocoabeans]

Excellent video. Much appreciated.

[@Elkins24]

Thank-you for the videos just purchased a used 2017 Cruze LS for my wife, the rotors in terrible shape so am doing both back and front.

[@OneTrickTech]

You're welcome! good luck on the brake job!

[@Elkins24]

@@OneTrickTech It took me 3 days to complete the brake job, as every bolt was put on with blue lockete, even the lug bolts. Also the of the 14mm bolts was stripped out, and had a terrible time getting it out. But, all the bolts were cleaned with a wire brush on my grinder so when the brakes will need to be done will be much easier. Thanks again for the helpful videos. HABD

[@OneTrickTech]

Sorry to hear that, that's the down side of mostly aluminum components. Glad you found it helpful and you'll know what to watch out for next time!😀

[@user-bi5tr3oy5o]

Thanks for this detailed video. Have you changed the antifreeze yet ? If so could you make a video ? No need to do it again , just show what has to be done step by step. Is there a rad drain ? Is there a bleeder screw to get the air out ? etc Thanks

[@brad741]

You forgot to mention to put brake pad having the thickness clip on inside pad at the top. Brake bolts need to be torqued to 74ft-lb and caliper bolts need to be torqued to 21ft-lbs

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

What do you mean by Having the thickness clip on Inside?

[@markndeb100]

Is there a tire order that is recommended? For example, start with the tire closest to the brake master cylinder and do the tire farthest from the cylinder last. Also , do you remove the cap to the brake mster cylinder before compressing the piston?

[@OneTrickTech]

No you can start wherever. The order you're referring to is when you flush the brake fluid, but in this case we're only changing brake pads and rotors. And no need to remove the cap on the master cylinder.

[@markndeb100]

@@OneTrickTech Thank you very much!

[@sweetness2689]

What type of grease do you put on the guide pins?

[@OneTrickTech]

clear silicone grease amzn.to/3cUgsz3

[@noclu4u384]

You didnt take the brake fluid reservoir cap off before pressing the caliper piston back in ??

[@OneTrickTech]

You don't always need to but its good if you do

[@stephenhill725]

this is the same on the different models of the 2017 Cruze? I have a 2017 Cruze LT with the Turbo

[@OneTrickTech]

yea its all the same

[@stephenhill4305]

@@OneTrickTech Thx so much, I really don't wanna pay the $1000 the local autoshop wants to charge for brakes, rotors and labour.

[@OneTrickTech]

Yes for sure I understand, hopefully you can get this done on your own and save a lot. Feel free to ask me questions if you're stuck!

[@texyat7388]

What would happen if I don’t put the brake pad springs back? I may have lost one. I was doing the brake job at night. I will go outside in the morning and look for it. Hopefully I will find it.

[@OneTrickTech]

its to help retract the pads from the rotor after braking and also prevents them from getting stuck because of rust and corrosion

[@texyat7388]

@@OneTrickTech Thanks. I was able to find it in the light of day. Now if it would just stop raining I can install them and be done with this. 😅

[@jonathancortez5082]

So you don’t have to bleed the lines every time you change the brakes?

[@OneTrickTech]

Nope. No need to.

[@Respect_The_Hustle226]

No bleeding lines?

[@OneTrickTech]

No. Never have to.

[@WhitneyRhodes-tn9mh]

How were you able to remove that top caliper bolt? Can't get enough clearance to get it off. Anyone have any tips or tricks so I can avoid taking it in to a shop?

[@OneTrickTech]

you can turn the steering wheel to expose the caliper bracket bolts and also use a short 21mm socket, it can help too.

[@joeyg-smallengine1116]

You forgot to mention that the top 21mm bolt is impossible to get off without a impact or maybe a swivel extension. Thanks alot, now I have to put it all back together and go to the garage.

[@OneTrickTech]

sry man, I was in a hurry doing that job.

[@heathercaldwell7646]

@@OneTrickTech the bracket bolts also have yellow loctite on them

[@victorrodriguez4081]

So I just ran amongst this problem and I got the swivel adapter with a m18 torque gun and nothing. I had to get a breaker bar to get it lose and then with the gun. Took me forever on one side but the other side was all done under 20 minutes.

[@dzungdakao9205]

As you pushed the piston inward, it creates air bubbles in the tubes. Therefore, you should also bleed the brakes.

[@sweetness2689]

No you dont

[@jhonsauceda6024]

You would have to remove the brake line from the caliper for air to enter the brake system. Going by your theory air would enter every time the cylinder moves.

[@j-herm3943]

As you push the piston inward you want to have the bleeder screw opened just a little so you don’t push burnt brake fluid in the line it can cause problems with abs system
