I like the brake design, with the exception of the brake hose blocking the upper caliper slide pin. I always replace those pins, cleaning and greasing the bore. After application of brake grease, I would not be spraying brake-clean on rotors. Clean the braking surfaces of the rotors before mounting them.

@davidstreling36902 жыл бұрын
seen in another video if you loosen the brake hose clamp on the other side that holds the hose then you can remove the upper caliper bolt so it can be greased

Thanks for the video. Just did mine today. The top caliper bolt wouldn’t budge for me, but it still opened like a clam shell no problem. Just wondering if loosening that top one is really even necessary? Didn’t seem to be for me.

I didn’t know if there was anything special with changing the rotors so I came here to watch this. Doesn’t appear so, but I will say I’m jealous of what you paid. I just paid 250 for rotors and pads in Alaska… I put new pads on the vehicle 7 months ago and the rear pads just failed, ruining the rotors in the process. Best part is my extended warranty won’t cover brake components!

@Marco-if4fd4 жыл бұрын
You need to remove the caliper if you want to do it the correct way. That top bolt needs its sleeve greased if you want good movement. With all that rust i see there i would remove the top bolt by removing the caliper and bleed the breaks after i'm done. just my opinion.

Maybe someone can answer my question. I have a 2009 Patriot and I need new rear pads but I would like to know if you don't bleed the lines will the pressure from compressing the calipers cause your ABS system to fail. I have heard that you must bleed the lines and update the ABS system on the computer when you are done with everything. I had to replace my ABS system a couple of years ago and it wasn't cheap so I would like to know if this information is correct to determine who I will get to replace my pads. Thank you for any help that you might give.

Nope, my rear brakes on this model of Patriot are disc brakes. I think the entry level Patriot has drum brakes in the rear that that is a totally different process than the disc brakes.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY. Failure to remove and re grease that upper slide bolt will cause it to seize and will guaranteed pre maturely ruin your pad and possibly damage your caliper. The caliper must be removed and bled for this job to be done correctly. By now he’s learned his mistake I’m absolutely sure

You absolutely do need to bleed the caliper after you’ve removed it from the brake line I mean unless you want to do it incorrectly like an a hole sure go ahead
