Not bad but a few things. 1. Don't use anti-seize for that application. It will seize up more. You use brake lube or nothing. Lube attracts dirt and after rain ,lube is gone but dirt remains. 2. Good you mentioned the torque specs but then you used an impact gun. Torquing the wheel nuts is very important- I do 80lbs. This helps keep the rotor from warping. 3. My GS has factory shims that are to be re-used. Maybe they were missing from a previous brake job. This helps keep them from squeaking. 4. Did you remove the brake reservoir cap? 5. When you remove the two bolts, keep track of which one is which and replace in the same location you took them off. Technically you should do this with lug nuts as well but nobody does. 6. You didn't do a final clean of the rotor before reinstalling the caliper. At 5:30 it clearly had a lot of grease/oil on it which could get into the pads and decrease braking performance. 7. The rotor has a hole for a bolt. You use that to remove the rotor so you do not have to bang it. Good tip about them being directional.

Why did you replace the rotor without measuring it. Did they make them so thin they only survive one set of pads. ❓❓❓
@jth1987leb Жыл бұрын
It’s cheaper to replace a rotor than have them turned. Most places around me don’t have the tool to turn rotors

I run into this all the time in my business especially here in NY. Take an open-end wrench that is the proper size, take a plastic mallet or hammer and hit it with the body of the hammer closest to the end. It will break it free. I probably do 75-100 sets of brakes a year and run into this often. This method has never failed.

What are directional rotators?
@jth1987leb 3 жыл бұрын
They are rotors that are side specific because of slots or the internal fins. These slots or fins are meant for cooling and have to go on a specific side of the car so they are facing the correct direction when the car is moving forward

Originally they don’t use shims, but on the base and F model, it has a defect of squealing, even with brand new brakes. Therefore, they do make a shim kit to stop the squealing, but yes, originally there is not a shim kit from factory on these cars.
