Installing a big brake kit can be an easy brake upgrade. In this video I will show you how to install a big brake kit, bleed the new calipers, and flush the brake fluid. This is a front big brake kit using Wilwood calipers, pads, and rotors. Also we are installing new brake lines for our kit. I will also be testing this big brake kit to see how they perform.

Another great video Charles. One additional step I would always recommend is to use a dial test indicator to check that runout is within tolerance when installing new rotors. If it's not, and you know you cleaned the mating surfaces well, simply rotating the rotor round to the next stud hole can improve the readings obtained.

@HumbleMechanic 5 жыл бұрын

That’s a really good idea. And you can get them for like $30. Lol. I don’t think most people will do that, but I love the idea of reclocking the rotor

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making sure to talk about bedding in the pads. NO ONE, I mean NO ONE around me, even the places you pay to do your brakes, bed in the pads. How do you know? Look at the mileage when you get back in the vehicle. If there’s only 1-2 miles more than when you dropped it off, they did NOT bed in the pads. I have cooked too many brand new rotors because of not bedding them in; sometimes glazing the pads in the process.. BUT, this extra attention means I have stopped in an emergency stop when I would not have been able to before, because I took the proper time to heat cycle and bed in the brakes. Also, as I was teaching a teen to replace his brakes, I told him, “If we test out the system, now, and something is wrong, or something breaks, we can fix it. Plus, we find out in a controlled environment, and not in an emergency situation.”

As a follow up - today I escaped with only some paint scrapes, instead of a complete fender ad bumper destruction because my brakes - properly bedded - were working perfectly when someone turned right into me. BED. YOUR. BRAKES. IN. PEOPLE.

Charles! thank you for all the videos and tutorials over the past 3 years. You are amazing. I really learned much watching the big brake upgrade video. Charles, I am confused to the whole Offset quandary. So, offset I understand is the distance from center wheel to the wheel hub. Now having ADD and never finishing my mechanical engineering degree program at Texas Tech, I cannot fully grasp determining the proper offset. So, I do want to purchase the Wilwood brake kit, but I want to purchase 18 inch x 10 wheels before. How do I determine the proper offset? I just struggle with this. Mike

Unless the rear brakes are drums, the rear factory discs are perfectly fine, even in light-duty racing situations. I'd definitely suggest a performance brake pad upgrade though. Spending +$1000 on rear disc brakes upgrades provides very little return on performance. You'd be better off spending that money on other upgrades (ECM, tires, suspension, etc). However, front brakes (which provide well over 75% of the braking of the vehicle) should DEFINITELY be upgraded if there are any significant engine power upgrades. That goes without saying. Great video as always HumbleMechanic - thanks!

Yep. I’ll be doing new calipers(OEM mk4) and lines on the rear. I have rotors ready to go. My plan was to start with OEM pads and see how she does. Then move to something more aggressive if needed. So many people do BBK and never see the benefits other than looks. That’s cool with me. But HP pads and proper tires are a better use of the money

If the new calipers have a different bore size, then the master cylinder bore size needs to change to match it. Otherwise, you could run into issues.

Hey Charles, I recently replaced my brake pads on my Alcon six pot front brakes, the front right outer pad was completely worn, to the metal. The inner had about 3-4mm, and the pads on the left caliper were 4-5mm. Watching your video I taught that the front right caliper wasn't aligned properly to the rotor, and that is what caused the pad to wear down uneavenly. I was told that when a car is always driven driver only, the front right caliper always brakes harder especially when ABS comes up. What do you think?

I used to have Škoda car (czech carmaker under the VW concern) and i hated that little phillips bolt on the brake rotor with passion. It feels like that damned thing is the first part of the car which rusts to the point where the phillips head lets the screwdriver cam out too easily and the thread is fused with the wheel hub. I replaced the brakes on two old cars and these little buggers needed to be drilled out both times. Or the previous owners both really ignored the proper maintenance, but at least the first one had actually pretty detailed shop history with factory brand service (which was really impressive, considering its age and price)

there's a little. hand tool we use at my work called an impact driver that accepts a screw bit and you basically have to insert it into the screw and hit the other end of the tool with a hammer and it *shocks* the rust free while turning the screw, i can't live without it lol, look into getting one!

also i find that hitting the screw (or even where it sits on the rotor if it's countersunk) with a ball peen hammer a couple times help shock the rust free and make your life MUCH easier 💪

Really enjoy your videos Charles! Quick question on the bleeder from DAP. Does it include or are there other adapters available to fit other vehicles?

it's just the one for VW/Audi. You can easily retrofit to any car. Swing by the junk yard and grab a brake fluid cap, drill a hole, and put a fitting on it.
