The extra threaded holes are for getting the rotor off if it is stuck. Just like you said, put some bolts in and if you keep tightening them it will force the rotor off.

Great video, as always. Glad to see you back (looking different!) and posting again. Couple things, you "could" put so much grease on the heads of the caliper pins that they'd actually hydrolock momentarily (remote possibility, again "could"). I like to take the time to clean out the bores for the pins with brake cleaner, too. Also, a mention of brake bed-in for the customer, and you can only hope they follow it, would be good.

Good tips and advise. Sometimes people are giving tips and advise that are incorrect or inaccurate. What I will say is I’ve stopped putting grease on the back of pads and on the contact areas. Seen the grease harden and cause pads to stick or bind on shims/hardware. Nice to see your channel growing tho! Keep it up man!🙌

@RoadsideRescue 6 ай бұрын

@kayjay4060 6 ай бұрын

Grease can harden when you mix Silicone Grease with Petroleum based greases. Silicone when it contacts rubber, and petroleum based metal on metal. Sometimes people mix them, and they harden when they mix. Especially slide pins, and the petroleum based grease causes rubber to swell, and some slide pins have rubber sleeves that swell and seize the slide pins.

A day late. Did just the wife's 2016 pilot front and rear rotors and pads yesterday. Tip i learned: when putting on the clips that exert pressure on the pads, attach the caliper but just 1 bolt, swing the caliper up and clip 1 side, swap caliper bolts and repeat on the other side. Took me 30 minutes of fighting with trying to keep the pads from coming out while trying to put the caliber back on. 😂

Im in the salt belt... So ill add never seize compound between the brake hardware and the caliper mount to prevent rust jacking. As well as the hub to rotor surface because sometimes those two small threaded holes on the rotor may rust as well and you cant use them to separate the rotor from the hub😢

2:52... Good practice to chock the opposite side. Not really trusting the rear parking brake mechanism to hold the vehicle still while jacking the front of the vehicle?😊 I do the same when I jack up the front for oil changes 😅

@505fastlife6 5 ай бұрын

Here is a pro tip from years of experience. Another reason why the pads wear uneven is too much grease on the pins. Grease does not compress and the pins need to go back and fourth. All you need is just a little grease on the pins.

Yeah, they're from old school... Back then, brake rotors were made better and thicker (had to operate a brake lathe in an auto parts store in the late 90s) I mean if they don't feel any wobble when brakes are applied, then a pad slap can work until the next pad change. Now, if the rotors are scored or other defects like what Ernest said (cracks or wavy surfaces) Then, actually show them the imperfections and make them sign a waiver against any warranty comebacks 😊

Even if you don't have rust, brakes create dust. This dust gets between the hub and rotor and causes round rotors to be tilted and out of round. The set screw also helps when you need to change a tire on the side of the road. Each time the rotor moves off the hub, it should be cleaned so a proper mating surface can be made to prevent vibrations. This set screw doesn't just protect heads on assembly lines, they makes sure your tire can be put back on without disturbing this surface between the rotor and wheel hub. Great video aside for my nitpicking.

Question, do you need to compress the pistons on the calipers to change out the pads?

Yes because the new pads are a lot thicker than the old ones.

@@RoadsideRescue I can remember when an Aamco Brake Lathe was standard equipment in almost every shop along with a Sioux Valve Grinding Machine! I know…I’m a dinosaur! I guess with shop rates hovering around 150.00 or more an hour it’s probably cheaper to replace them. The valve machines are now obsolete because cars no,longer need valve jobs every 40,000 miles. And the beat go’s on….

Please use a torque wrench, other people are watching show them the right way

@UncleOodoo 5 ай бұрын

Always use a torque wrench to set the proper ft/lb when putting tires on since uneven torque will make you have to buy new rotors or have to get them resurfaced. Honda is 80 ft/lbs and I would guess by the force you used you were an inconsistent 100 ft/lbs. Another bad habit I saw was not hanging the caliper with a hook or bungee from the dampener spring. Novices may bump the caliper off the hub and rupture the brake hose line. Other than those 2 points, it was a solid video for people wanting to learn how to do brake jobs. The only other comment would be to check the brake reservoir prior to starting to verify there is a fluid gap when you compress the pistons. Many people get brake fluid flushes and that shop may have over filled the fluid.

@jontnoneya3404 4 ай бұрын

Bro totally skipped adding that springy thingy and collapsing the piston to account for the thicker pads. So this video is totally NOT everything you need to know before doing your brakes. For those interested search KZfaq for Royalty Auto Service and look for his video titled "How To Perform a Professional Brake Job" - for the main parts but then you may also want to watch his video titled "It’s Vibrating When Braking & It’s Not the Rotors. How to Test!" that literally covers what else could be causing vibrations when braking and how to find them and cure them. BOTH of those video give you all the information you need to diagnose and fix your brake issues.
