Looks very easy! I wasn't sure about how difficult it would be but looks as easy or easier than all the other brake jobs I've done.

I found the bolt size required to pop the rotor off the hub to be M8 1.25 pitch. I used two bolts with even pressure to break the rotors free.

One of the better tutorials I've seen. Well done!

Great video! Only suggestions I'd add: 1. Don't let the caliper hang by the brake line. 2. Clean around the piston before compressing (don't want the grime getting shoved back in there). 3. Loosen the bleeder screw and put a piece of tubing on it before compressing the piston, that way you're getting rid of the old fluid left over, and not pushing it back up into the lines. This will definitely help a ton for when I rebuild my E-brake this week.

Seeping out the old brake fluid is a great idea! I had some "bubbling" in my piston when I compressed it awhile back but it wasn't making any contact with the pad so I did not care too much. But this tip would have fixed the problem, only if I weren't so damn lazy lol

Hi Mike , I think I over torqued slice pin, I may have do it again . I may buy an oem rotors because when I reversed a vehicle it making sounds, as it right now I used aftermarket rotors

@mikes.garage

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, if you over torqued a little bit, that's fine. The main thinks don't break down bolts! If your rotors size was identical to original then you don't need to replace it! It has nothing to do with making sound. Maybe take it apart again and see if you put everything correctly and rotor dust cover is not touch the rotors. Sometimes when trying to turn the wheels with hands without using steering wheel, you can bend plate behind the rotor and then rotor will make noise while driving.
