Do you recommend to change both rotors at the same time when changing brakes, one has a worn pad that is metal on metal with the rotor and I will be changing it, just curious if there will be issues leaving the other rotor the way it is just with new pads?

+Mark Taylor Rotors should be changed in pairs to ensure they wear evenly. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

Guys never push in caliper pistons without opening up the bleeder, all you'll be doing is sending particles either from rust from iron or corrosion that form inside the calipers back up into the abs module. If you choose to just push the piston in the lazy way, remove your master cylinder cap so you don't chance blowing the seal behind that master cylinder. Good video.

Thank you!! That's what I was taught but this video didn't show that. Glad I read the comments because I would have done it like he did. 🤣🤣👍😁👍

Also pushing brake fluid that is saturated with water (and rusty and dirty)back up into the system. Super Rookie move.

Y'all make the best videos. This just doesn't address the inevitable rotor that is going to be seized to the hub regardless of parking brake being released and all mounts removed and whooping on it with a rubber mallet for an hour

Life saver video!!! My emergency brakes are preventing the rotor from coming off. Wasn't entirely sure how to adjust the parking brake shoes... Thank you so much! After spending 3.5 years at a dealership training with a heavy tech, I can strip a motor down and overhaul 1 but my god.. I thought brakes were easy lmao, they can certainly be a pain in the arse sometimes. I've only done about a few dozen brake jobs but never experienced the emergency brakes holding up the rotor. Unfortunately at my dealership, all I did was heavy on Chevy vehicles so I really appreciate this video!

If your rotor is rusted to the hub you can use the torx t30 hole to press the rotor off. The t30 screw is flared so it’s hole on the rotor is bigger than it is on the hub. If you look at the hole on the rotor, it is threaded to take a M10 threaded bolt. The bolt is larger than the screw hole on the hub so you can simply tighten the bolt until the rotor pops free from the hub. Spent an afternoon beating on the rotor with larger and larger hammers until I noticed that. By the way your videos are some of the most instructional available thanks.

Great video very well done! I was sorta surprised that you didn’t take the guide pins out and clean and lube them, but then again I’m a backyard mechanic so maybe the pro’s do it different. I check the vids when doing repairs just to refresh my memory and look for any additional info that may help. Ur vids always do help and provide a lot of good stuff. Thanks for sharing!!

Great video, My 2011 Traverse with 40,000 miles still has the original brakes, I just removed the wheels to inspect the brakes and discovered that the the factory "forgot" to install the torx screws and rubber plugs

You don't need them alot of techs don't put them back on after removal

Why not use anti seize around the hub before placing new rotor on and also the T30 bolt

Great video. Just like a professional 👌

About to do this myself. Dealer wanted $800+ to replace breaks and rotors.

Don’t you have to loosen the brake fluid cap under the hood to not cause air in the lines when you press the piston back?

Thank you for the video it really helps!! But shouldn’t you changed the E-brake shoes they didn’t look to thick or is that how they are made ?

You guys are awesome with your videos good job would you do a video on a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT? Why the Reduced Engine Power comes on and what exactly causes it to come on !

Good job

I would recommend cleaning face of hub,( rust)to ensure a flat surface for mounting..always replace brake hardware, and lube pins.but a quality video,no less

I changed my brake pads and rotor but now it squeeks when I drive. Could it be that I tightened the parking brake to much?

Ceramic or semi metallic padas for this car?

Here's a tip for all of you who have a hard time beating off the old rotor with a hammer. Put anti seize lubricant on the hub where the rotor contacts it, and next time you brakes, it will fall right off when you take out that torch screw... I also use it there the wheel contacts the rotor, and on the lug nuts.

You guys use thread locker on caliper bracket? Why?

I had to grind the ears of the rear pads to fit. Dang things we’re extremely tight and would hang up. I’ve never had rear pads fit like there supposed to.

THETOPGLOCK you probably needed to clean your caliper bracket. Under the stainless hardware the steel bracket rusts. The rust causes “rust jacking” and locks up your pads.

Nowhere in this video did anyone say to take the cap off of the brake fluid reservoir

@@Hooter-J because rule of thumb is to bleed the brakes whenever your doing this which is recommended. But, also everyone has a lot of different opinions.. some say you can do it without bleeding brakes as long as your aware of the condition of the brake fluid and others say do it every time.

Squeezing in the caliper without relieving brake fluid pressure is ok?

I have a 2009 Chevy traverse that needs new rear pads and I cannot get the wheel off I have tried everything. Hit it with a rubber mallet like it shows in the video won't come off crawled underneath the vehicle kicked it with my feet wheel will not come off any ideals
