That’s probably the most meticulous brake job I’ve ever seen. Even chrisfix would approve!

As a retired licensed mechanic I thoroughly enjoyed the video. However, if I am permitted, I like to add the following comments. 1) When removing wheel nuts, pushing on the breaker bar is easier than pulling. One’s body weight along with gravity can be very helpful. 2) A hose on the bleeder valve and an empty plastic bottle can avoid brake fluid mess. 3) Rotors should only be rotated in the direction of forward moving of vehicle when adjusting brake shoes. 4) I am surprised the 1A auto shop does not require wearing protective glasses. 5) Lastly the calipers should NEVER be hung from their hose. Proper bleeding should have been done as well.

I'm impressed as to how you flipped that wheel up and put it on the car. Although I'm mid 70's, it's sometimes a challenge to lift and align for me at ground level.

Talking about lifting the wheel - I use a 2x4, and some 1" or thinner wood as shims to help lift the wheel while I align it the holes over the studs.

There was no need to open the brake line, your absolutely right....all that had to be done was to take the cap off of the master cylinder and surround the bottom of it with a rag in case fluid spills over while pushing the caliper piston in.👍! The only time you open the brake line is when a caliper or any hydraulic brake system part has to be removed.

@@crystrezerex2life I always open the brake fluid reservoir cap in the hood compartment so the fluid can flow,but never will lose the bleeder bolt.I was wondering why would she do that.

Great job thanks you! Thanks for mentioning the torque requirements.

Just a quick question for anyone. The way she opened the bleeder valve and then closed it (when pushing the piston back in) was that the proper way? I’ve just heard of air going into the ABS can be bad reason why when you bleed brakes you have someone hold the last pump until you close the bleeder valve. Over all a good video though 👍

Why not use a scan tool and put brakes in service mode instead of brake bleeding. Doesn t sound right, bleeding for pad replacement. Bleed when hydraulic parts are changed or to flush the system.

Real nice job ,thanks for sharing this video

Nice to be working on a rust free car. My Camry is a Canadian car and the rear brakes are loaded with rust after 3 years. Getting the rotors off is more difficult, takes some know how and patience, plus knowing how to use a "French Wrench" helps....(Hammer, for you Americans!)

@eddiemed5766

There are 2 small threaded holes closets to the center. I don’t know the size.If you get the right size threaded bolt, all you have to do is put 2 of them on and just snug them a bit at a time, then tap the rotor with the “French Wrench” and they pop right out. It also helps if you spray penetrating oil around the hun and those holes to break it loose. Just don’t go crazy soaking it. Hope this helps in the future. This is how I get them out.”

A small about of brake grease on top of the clips will not cause a problem, it will help the pads move easily.

Question: why does loosening the bleeder screw before pushing back the piston prevent ABS damage?

Yeah those parts are more quality than the ones you put on. EBC brakes are very well built and those brake pads are “red stuff” best in the market for performance

Caliper bolt torque 58ft lb Caliper slider pin bolts torque 20ft lb Wheel lug torque 76ft lb

Great vid but the A1 pads don’t come with new hardware or wear indicators??

I couldn't see anything wrong with the old brakes. EBC is a great brand.

What damage can be caused to ABS if you just compress the piston and not open the bleeder valve?

@1AAuto

+SailingPittsburgh If the bleeder valve is not opened, or the cap is not removed from the master cylinder, it will be considerably harder to compress the piston as there is nowhere for the pressure to be released.

Only time you need to bleed the system is unless your replacing a caliper

Two things I do differently are, one I do not open the bleeder valve I remove the cap from the reservoir and still slowly push the piston back not to overflow the reservoir. Two I never let the brake caliper hang by the hose. I run a short elastic cord through the caliper and hang it on the spring. Other than that this is a great step by step brake change guide.

Is the metal indicator piece supposed to be facing up or down?

I would say all is good with the exception of gravity bleeding. I would highly recommend having someone help you bleed the entire system once introducing air into the system. Just better peace of mind.

PAUSE THIS IS THE WRONG way TO DO BRAKES. The drill slotted rotors is on the wrong direction. You don’t have to bleed the bleeder valve to push in the brake pistons. All you have to do is compress the pistons in without opening the bleeder valve. Reverse the installation. Bad Video!!
