I am honestly surprised you dont have more followers. Yr videos are very clear and concise

[@JetFuelOnly]

Thanks! It’s probably because I have a very narrow scope of audience.

[@junlee7763]

such a ingenious idea of having hook for calipers. How would I never think about that ever! Thank you for the tip.

[@wwilliams1358]

Great Video! Thank you for not speeding up the video like others do. I've done many brake jobs in the past, but for first timers showing a video in live speed helps them a lot...even when you show turning the bolts the wrong way...LOL! I though you changed sides. First time I seen a parking brake piston with grooves in them, good to know.

[@stealthgerbil]

this is helpful even if you are just using regular pads and rotors.

[@rezdoodles5475]

Thank you, this video confirmed to me that I couldn’t get the bolts out because I was trying to turn them the wrong way 😭

[@JetFuelOnly]

I’ve got a good story when I learned that lesson

[@paulhardy761]

If you put a brake bleeding tube on to the caliper nipple and open it when you push the piston back the brake fluid can be collected in a pot instead of biend pushed back up into the braking system . Then top up the master cylinder afterwards .

[@ericgon46]

Clear explanation and clear demonstration!! Great video 🙌🏼

[@luciengrise6229]

Great video, but FYI...79-101 is actually the torque in N-m; the torque in lb-ft is 59-74

[@garylee5568]

On the rear brakes you needed to show how important it is that the grooves in the piston align with the pins that protrude from the back surface of the HAWK pads. The horizontal groove should align with the window on the end of the caliper other wise the pads will not seat squarely with the rotors when the brake peddle is pressed.

[@JetFuelOnly]

Good point, thanks for posting!

[@emilioheredia1]

Why not swapping rear rotors?

[@runyisun9490]

Big thanks for the video. If only replace the front pads, removing the caliper is enough, right？

[@JetFuelOnly]

Yup

[@kgboy7]

Will these rotors work with the OEM Brembos ?

[@JetFuelOnly]

No only non-brembo. Visit karcepts.com for more info

[@mmmsss9654]

We want cts

[@miatafunrun3078]

Your forgot to clean and grease the caliper slide pins and use blue loctite for the caliper bolts.

[@balazspinter4832]

What type of grease shall I use? Copper grease same as on the pads? These pins needs to get greased on both axes front an rear?

[@balazspinter4832]

@@miatafunrun3078 thank-you for your quick response. Can you confirm that I need copper grease on the clips and the back plates of the pads and this silicone grease for the pins! Am I understand that correctly?

[@miatafunrun3078]

@@balazspinter4832 Yes, you are correct. ChrisFixIt has a good video on brake job. That is were I learned about what to use.

[@shanedawson-xt3wt]

Miata not buy one! Lol. Sorry I just couldn’t resist that joke! Jk Haha. I own that same DeWalt Impact! Get it at The Home Depot! Use your Home Depot account and you have a whole year to return it!! Awesome. Get all my power tools that way!
