Good job. Next time, please, also show people that you have to monitor brake liquid level in the bonnet once you start compressing the piston😊

[@LG-kl3co]

I think you are better removing the calliper from the carrier so you can properly clean up all the surfaces where the slider plates locate....one lump of rust under them causes the new pads to stick and drag against the disc.

[@markbro4427]

Thanks,I have my own to do soon,pads seem quite small compared to discs....had you any handbrake adjusting to do?

[@NewRoad]

Not at all, those work very well!

[@716OutdoorsTV]

Need to lube slider pins. Most important part

[@NewRoad]

Yes, good point!

[@andrewhamilton2773]

What size bolt do you need to force off the rotor? I'd think you'd be better using two bolts together!

[@NewRoad]

I don't remember the size tbh

[@KILOENDO]

Thanks

[@junybeltran4920]

Hi nice video what size is the bolt to take the disc off??

[@NewRoad]

Sorry, I'm not 100% sure - but think it was M8x1.25 (8mm)

[@keloryms8976]

10mm

[@zoneb609]

Hi! Do you happen to have the torque specs for the bracket ? And slider bolts? Thank you have a nice day

[@NewRoad]

Sorry, can't find my notes. Try to search suzuki forums - some of them have docs

[@zoneb609]

@@NewRoad I tried, even have the service manual but only can find for the rear drum version. I torqued it to 85 foot pounds and it’s still there so I think I’m fine hehe

[@gosho0]

Do you have to change the pads if you are changing the disks?

[@NewRoad]

Ideally yes - but if pads are in good condition (smooth) and have enough life left, you can keep it

[@jeromeswaby3896]

Do you know where u can get the handbrake shoes? Can you send me a link or part number. Thanks

[@NewRoad]

Try rockauto.com

[@jessymode]

is it better to have drums for 4x4

[@lewcarrumjohnson2786]

I notice the handbrake was an inner drum, I assume you did not engage the handbrake for this operation?

[@NewRoad]

It should be released to remove rotor - just make sure you chock wheels so vehicle does not roll.

[@OrionJGM]

Why didn't you cleaned the caliper?

[@NewRoad]

I always recommend to clear caliper with Brake Cleaner. To be honest, I can't recall if I did this time...

[@jdbosshog35]

What size/thread bolt did you use to get the rotors off?

[@jdbosshog35]

I think I found it. M8*1.25?

[@carswells6977]

Porque não lavou as peças, as pinças de freio, estavam sujas, enferrujadas ,precisava de uma boa lavada

[@13tomasito13]

Didn't say the start key size.

[@zkhrk]

Hey how can i contact you?

[@stevenholley4185]

This does not show rear brakes. They're front brakes.

[@markbro4427]

That is the rear.... You can see the small brake shoes inside the combined disc/drum set up for the parking brake....the rubber plug fitted to the new disc as shown is for access to the parking brake shoe adjuster cam....you can also see the separate rear shock and spring...the front has a combined strut/spring shock absorber unit.
