Excellent video! In case anyone would like to see or print out the step-by-step instrux from this video, here they are that I listed, for my checklist: Dodge sprinter rear brake replacement - [ ] Remove wheel. - [ ] Disconnect brake wire sensor. - [ ] Retract caliper piston, by prying the caliper away from vehicle with flat-head screwdriver - [ ] Remove 2 caliper bolts: 13 mm socket - [ ] Move caliper out of the way. (maybe put it on top of the leaf spring). - [ ] Remove brake pads, inspect them. - [ ] Make sure calipers pins are sliding in and out easily and smoothly. - [ ] Remove 2 caliper bracket bolts: 21 mm socket - [ ] Remove caliper bracket. - [ ] Remove brake rotor retaining screw with screwdriver - [ ] Remove rotor: bang/hammer/mallet on it if need be to loosen it up from hub. - [ ] Inspect parking brake shoes. - [ ] Clean up remaining hub area: - [ ] maybe use rotating wire brush on power drill, - [ ] spray with brake cleaner and wipe clean/dry - [ ] inspect springs, shoes and any other hardware within the parking brake assembly, see if anything looks wrong or bad. - [ ] apply anti-seize compound to all of hub flange. - [ ] clean brand new rotor before installation: spray with brake cleaner, then wipe clean/dry. - [ ] Install rotor with rotor retaining screw - [ ] Clean the caliper: maybe with drill mounted rotating wire brush. - [ ] Clean rotor again, in case it got dirty from cleaning the caliper: spray with brake cleaner, then wipe clean/dry - [ ] Retract caliper piston all the way with caliper piston-spreading tool - [ ] Lube the brake caliper: with brake parts lubricant. - [ ] Prep caliper bracket: - [ ] remove pad springs, - [ ] clean bracket maybe with drill mounted rotating wire brush, - [ ] remove caliper pins, lube them with brake parts lubricant, then reinsert them, - [ ] replace the brake caliper boots if they’re not still good, - [ ] remove the pad springs (replace if needed) - [ ] lube pad springs slots, then place the pad springs (new ones if needed), - [ ] Install caliper bracket & its 2 bolts with torque wrench to 59 foot pounds - [ ] install brake pads - [ ] install brake caliper & bolts with torque wrench to 25 foot pounds - [ ] connect brake wear sensor - [ ] inspect that caliper is sliding freely in and out - [ ] install wheel & lug bolts to 110 foot pounds

[@OffgridVictory]

That was an excellent job👍🏼 The question is did the wear sensors catch the brake pad wear or did the pad start squeaking? Thanks

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Offgrid Victory My Pleasure! the wear sensor got smashed!

[@DKLGalactus5]

the pads looks to have 40%

[@lcmass09]

Thanks for making this video! What is the rotor diameter for these brakes? I’m seeing 276mm and 285mm rotors, and I’m confused as to which to choose. Thanks!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@crosbyfan08 My Pleasure! That's odd! the single rear wheel sprinters have one size rotors!

[@HappyPlants123]

Muy bueno señor!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@HappyPlants123 Thanks!

[@salvadorzavala6110]

Is the rotor’s an allen screw?? If so,what size?? Thank you.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@salvadorzavala6110 My Pleasure! it's allen 5 or 6mm if I remember correctly!

Maleek ade Thank you!

[@DKLGalactus5]

you need to apply grease at the park brake shoe contact points or they will be noisy. then put the rear rotors on.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

DKLGalactus5 yES!

[@Evariste2]

@K Diagnostics me either I am mecanique in Charlotte NC and your follower where are you live

[@tominthebox]

You lost me at the caliper cleaning with the wire brush. The boot on the piston is surely damaged as it extends during use. It would have been better to spray brake cleaner and wipe clean.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@tominthebox no, it wasn't damaged!

[@petermcgregor3274]
