Use Sil-Glyde for the caliper slide pins- it’s rubber safe. Use brake cleaner to spray down wheel hub, caliper, caliper bracket of rust/grime/crud. Use a little anti-seize on the wheel hub and rotor won’t stick to it and come off easy. Use a wire brush to scrape rust and crud off the hub and caliper bracket. Clean caliper with brake cleaner and use Sil glyde on caliper piston and inside caliper where it mates with outer pad. Use Sil-Clyde on ears of inner and outer brake pads.

This helped me do my brake job. Keep up the good work!

[@hacksaw8183]

Great video! Thx a ton....

[@dakotawiebe2622]

Thank you for mentioning the ten mill. My rotor was seized like all hell

[@jamesrichardson771]

Good job on the slider pins, But, I'll betcha all' that "excessive"grease is gonna collect brake dust, dirt, and debris, and cause everything to stiffen up, and not work properly .... 🛠

Thank you !!

Are those R1 Concepts rotors?

[@wingriderrr]

Hi. Nice video. I went to Firestone to get my brakes checked. They say that there are hot spots on my rotor and it needs to be replaced. Do I really need to change the rotor or only new brake pads would be enough? I have 2006 Avalon limited with 95k miles on it.

[@jrodificator1]

yeah hot spots on the rotor will change how the brakes work, making them less effective. Take it to another shop and have them check but if they do have hot spots they should be replaced

[@chancemann862]

hot spots mean your rotors are warped.

[@13106Hardty]

What if youre going to reuse your brake pads (fairly new) when pushing piston back

[@mydiygarage]

Depends on the condition and what you plan to do. If you are planning on changing the pads then you use to push piston back. Otherwise it may break.....

[@leelakrishna888]

Bro can you make a video on how to change lower control arm bushing

[@chancemann862]

Control arm bushings are not replaced on cars anymore. You most likely need to replace the control arm itself. Damn engineers.

[@rgbsax]

Did you take the brake line off?

[@annblake3993]

I see the struggle and you want to avoid criticism so no camera shot so this was not helpful
