Thank you for this video. I'm in Oregon and I have a 2013 Fiat Abarth that needs front pads. I had no idea the rotors were so easily replaced! I just spend $132 (parts and labor) to have a Les Schwab (local repair chain) do this. Damn. OK, but let's move on... I wanted to replace the pads (and keep the stock RED calipers) and this looks like something easily done. Thank you for this video! In my case, I have a clip to remove and two bolts. Wow, I thought this would be more complicated. And then let me share with you what Les Schwab wanted for new calipers and pads, $225 (done while they were doing the rotors so less labor), and then a smaller mechanic company, to simply replace the pads, $340!! Since I can buy good quality pads from ebay (EBC UD1618 , $56 delivered) it looks like I am going to be big money ahead. Well, thanks to you and this video! So thank you for this instructional video and taking the time to do it. YOU ROCK!!

Excellent video... There is only one error that I can see... NEVER use a low-temperature grease such as white lithium anywhere near your brakes as the heat from the rotor will melt it and your new pads just got contaminated with grease...

Haha i use the same wire brush attachment for my drill to do brake pads! Had people laugh at me for using it while they use a hand held wire brush. Jokes on them. It's absolutely perfect and seats the clips and pads wonderfully every time.

The pins in the calipers won't budge. I tried so many times. I used a socket wrench with the 7mm hex extension. I also used a 7mm hex key. I even sprayed brake fluid. Nothing is working.

I have a silly question that I will appreciate an answer. I trying to get my wife's 500 ready for sale and found front break pads/rotor need to be replaced. This 500 is the lounge version which comes with thicker-doublesided vented front break rotors (the ones you have on this video). The question is if its ok/safe to use solid rotors on the front of this vehicle Im asking this because Im being sold solid rotors, not the OEM version that came with this car -they do look like the ones in the back- To me, they are probbably for the pop version.

You failed to mention to remove the cap on the master cylinder when you applying pressure with C Clamp

Please listen again, He did in fact mention to leave it open.

@johneppenauer6772 Жыл бұрын

@@Taino871 No he didn't. From the moment he put the C clamp on to turning the clamp, he never said to take the cap off the reservoir. He said fluid will Come out of the reservoir. You need to listen again

If you need so many details and you depend on those little facts, you shouldn’t replace your own brakes and get it done by an official mech

@P then what's the point of the video if you don't show all the details ? As for me, I always do my own work on cars. But you do have those who have no clue what to do. So they listen to a video in which ALL details are important and should be listed. Including removing the cap before you put any pressure on the caliper. Because, if you don't, you could rupture the seal in the Master Cylinder. And that my friend is an important detail.
