Not many videos on how to change brakes on this particular car, but you made a good one here. 👍

Best video I've seen for this work on Mitsubishi cars. Thank you for helping me build up my confidence Jim!

Thanks for this video. I just replaced the rear disc brakes and rotors on my 2011 Mitsubishi Galant. Was struggling with removing the drivers side rotor. Wasn't rusted on, but turned off the e-brake and used your trick with inserting a bolt into one of the two holes. Worked like a charm. (safety note - make sure your wheels are chocked!)

Mecanic sceptic, te ce ai schimbat și suportu de etrier nou, chear nu pricep, era urat ruginit, bravo, superb. Etrier ul dacă nu este blocat nu trebuie schimbat da în fine, spor la schimbat piese aiurea....

[@chuckaaron2014]

Was going to remove n replace caliper, no way to fit a socket onto the bolts tho, no room. Then after days of pb blaster the 1 bolt rounded n I had to stop. So now I'm going to replace caliper by removing brkt as assembly and I'm replacing abs sensor as well, it's bad. I'm have to replace rotors as well. 1 caliper bolt rounded on all 4 front n rear. I've bout lost mind. 38 yrs of this, mainly collision repair n painter by trade, love to paint, but anyways hopefully removing the brake hose n 2 caliper brkt bolts I'll remove as assembly and go form there. Great details in video. Idk why 1 bolt on each of the calipers rounded on me but my luck. Extractors didn't even work, but that would still leave 1 where there's no room. Very well done sir. 09 Mitsubishi Lancer ES. Customers cars no problem, my cars omg always sumthn.

[@curtcorleone850]

I'm working on my 09 ralliart I really hate this car but you've helped me out alot man

[@kingorez1]

This video got me out of real jam. Thanx for making it. Great job.

[@hyperspaceexplorer5594]

Thank you for the tutorial. I just drove with parking brakes engaged several times already. Kept on forgetting that my Galant has a parking brake.

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help. Thank you for watching

[@thomastommy1192]

Awesome video very educational. Thanks for sharing your video. I hope you have a blessed weekend.

[@johngoldup4151]

Excellent and instructive. If I have any criticism is that where specific items are mentioned the camera work is not correctly aligned. Keep up the good work and employ a film director, Actually PPPPP. You know perfect planning etc.

[@duannetravis812]

Who are the 26 assholes who thumbed this down?. Super informative and easy to follow.

[@matthewmoody277]

What size is the bolt you used to free the drum rotor?

[@jimthecarguy]

It was an 8 mm bolt.Thank you for watching

[@robertlong1333]

Is there way release rotor without bolt?

[@DJJonPattrsn22]

How does one determine which caliper slide pin is which if they get mixed up? You mentioned a difference between them and that they aren't interchangeable; I'm assuming there must be some way to distinguish them and determine where each one goes... Thank you!

[@NotChrisHoward]

I to was curious about the slide pin locations. I found this video is a quick explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5bHp2ptgJyte7s

[@randallkingbird4353]

Thank you, really worked well for my car

[@jimthecarguy]

Great to hear!

[@thizzer9805]

Dont you have to clean the rotor off with brake clean

[@chuckaaron2014]

What size wrench is the brake hose at caliper n wtf do you have to turn caliper other than obvious turning of the hose. Great design

[@ghislainpoulin4913]

Real good info thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

[@josephbridges775]

Appreciate the video. This helped me out tremendously.

[@carlossanchez-dn7jg]

Any way you could do a rear drum brake replacement video ?

[@user-pk5ur4oc9w]

Hello I have an 07 Ralliart and I’m about to replace my rear rotors and brakes, what is the bolt you used to remove the rotor?

[@scottettinger1317]

You are the best. Thank you!!!

[@davinderchahal6261]

What type of brakes did u put please let me know the name of that. Because which one I tried to put it in that one came with wide clips that not fitted on my calipers.

[@eduardochavez6976]

What is the size of the screw that removes the safety brake release rotor?

[@prithivraj2187]

Good tutorial.

[@ziggypowers1644]

my 2004 galant caliper bolts where switched the one with the rubber was on bottom

[@bobbrua8758]

nice job one question don't you have to loosen the cap on the brake master cylinder when pushing the piston in on the caliper or was that just old school for me im 70 use to do it that way excellent video thanx bob here

[@jimthecarguy]

No need to as long as the master cylinder is not over filled. Thanks for watching and your input.

[@1981andrade]

All the best Jimmy! Tks

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.

[@gregnixon1296]

How close can you get to the minimum thickness on the rotor before you have to replace it? Great video.

[@jimthecarguy]

With the rotors being so cheep most of the time it is better to replace than to resurface. Remember that the closer you get to the minimum thickness the easier they will warp. I hope this help

[@juju5736]

Have a question for you Mr. Jim. Doni have to bleed the front brakes if I'm just changing the rotors and brakes?

[@cdmboytech5298]

Your the best boss thank your

[@Albertotron]

Jim I think something got messed on youtube's end. It looks like the option to stabilize the video got enable and is messing up the video

[@javierfuentes5382]

Will this be the same way you would change the rear brakes for a 2012 galant se??

[@arexpert3865]

So my button bolt won’t come out. As I try to remove it. It like resets itself and I can’t use my hand Bc it so tight. Wtf do I do

[@baileywhanau]

Great video, but just a shame the footage was so dark and hard to see due to the camera lens facing directly into bright light (backlight). TIP: use additional lighting to illuminate the object when shooting video. Nicely done.

[@CODE_NINJAREX]

Thanks Bro

[@lukeettinger5358]

What size bolt ????

[@sniperpaintcorrection6790]

I’m having an issue. One pin won’t pull out it’s completely stuck. And turns and turns and turns but never comes out : and I know it’s far enough to pull out . What can I do?

[@crowfeather83]

I know this is likely way too late a reply but maybe it could help someone else. Use a chisel or beatable prybar and a hammer to remove the pin, beat on the inside of the head in the direction away from the hole.

[@richardlesovoy6106]

Why did you have to take off the caliper bracket off again to replace the caliper? Just to give you more room?

[@haywardsautomotive6156]

The new caliper came with a new bracket.

[@ghostxl_yt2513]

Thank you for the lesson now I feel confident I can change my calipers👍🏼

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad to help

[@ChicagoDoItYourself]

looks like a new caliper bracket too.. ? nvm ... Yup... everything... good job.. :) but.. you didn't put the rubber cap back on the bleeder valve :P ... you cut us short !

[@haywardsautomotive6156]

He still needed to bleed the brakes.

[@95tt]

Greasing brake hardware on pad side is just asking for crap to get in there, stainless hardware does not need lubricant...

[@NeoJSsk]

Im sure the caliper was the main thing, but sure brakes needed to be replace

[@asum1982]

What size is the bolt you use to push off rotor?

[@jimthecarguy]

Sorry I'm not sure .I have a set of bolts in my box

[@CarnelBell]

What an answer in response to a how to video....I DON’T KNOW. In fact when you posted it.....WOW

[@Izzybizzybboy]

Usually #12 or 14. You can find the in various places in your engine bay. Good luck.

[@kennethbledsoe8146]

I too need to know the size of that bolt.

[@DJJonPattrsn22]

@@CarnelBell Wow back @ U! What is the purpose of immediately going to the rude, insulting place? I would wager that it's not a particularly effective strategy. If, as I suspect, this sort of behavior is typical for you, you would almost certainly be shocked by how different-smoothly, agreeably & pleasant-your interactions with others would be if you treated them with even a little bit of respect, courtesy, civility, tolerance and understanding. However, I realize that it's likely that you enjoy and thrive on conflict. He's just being honest-I see NOTHING wrong with that! I wish more video authors were more genuine and honest… And how much did you pay him to make and post this video? Right… NOTHING! That pretty much means he has NO obligation nor responsibility to provide any information, even as the author. He already made & posted this excellent & thorough video; ever consider being grateful for that? What about being thankful for his honesty? And by the way, use whatever bolt fits! There is a limited set of sizes used throughout this car; one of those will fit. Just like izzy bizzy says…

[@ronyalefaio]

You should spray that thing before you put in that screw to get rid of all the crap

[@wadesmom3111]

Oh my god worst angle this is a horrible guide

[@iMotoTactic00L]

Every time you work on car you dont wear eye glasses why?

[@user-yr8fx9vb2v]

What size bolt ?
