I'm a city boy, who's main mode of transportation is the subway. Every time I have vehicle issues other than a flat I would run to a mechanic. I've decided it's 2022, I should be able to do what others can do. I watched this vid 3x. Went and purchased brakes, spacer and ratchet. Your video played through the whole process on repeat. Only thing that wasn't covered which scared me for a moment was replacing the caliber. I had to push the piece that receives the screw back in. But thank you.

Nice job. Hint.....if you wish, instead of totally removing the 2 guide pins..... loosen both, but ONLY remove the bottom pin...and keep the top pin in-place to act as a "hinge" for the caliper portion you removed.....in this case just swing it up and tie it down so it doesn't accidentally swing down whle doing the work. You still have full access to remove and reinstall the pads.

Best advice is to look at the pads before removing them so that you know where they go. On my 2009 Chevy Silverado the pad either the metal wear indicator goes on the inside but what’s even better is that the inside pad has a flat edge that matches the flat part on the caliper with the other pad and side of the caliper being curved.
