Just watched your video to change the rotors. Very helpful, you are a good teacher. Thanks!

Turn the old brake pad over and use it with the C clamp to press the piston back in. If you remove the caliper from the mounting bracket when you take things apart, all of this is easier. Remember to tighten the (dry) caliper mounting bolts with a torque wrench to factory specs to avoid brake problems when driving the vehicle. The caliper sliding pins need to be removed, cleaned and carefully lubricated with synthetic brake grease when reinstalled. Likewise, the contact points between the new brake pads and the new clips need to be lightly lubricated with synthetic brake grease to prevent binding and chatter. Many mechanics lightly lubricate the backs of the new pads with synthetic brake grease to prevent chatter and other brake noise. Those who are very picky take more steps to insure a perfect brake job, but for most people, the steps illustrated are all you need, provided the caliper mounting and caliper sliding pin bolts are tightened to factory torque specs. The lug nuts for each wheel also have be tightened to factory specs. (The money saved by doing a brake job yourself will more than pay for a decent torque wrench, but get one that goes up to at least 125 to 150 ft.-lbs.). Your video is very informative, to the point, not overly talkative, and well-produced; thanks for making it!

Thank you so much. Was confident doing this after watching your video. Completed in about 2h because I had to drill these stupid screws out. Thank you.

Just got a 2012 equinox. First GM product in 30 years. Nice video. I believe that screw that you say holds the rotor on is actually for removing the rotor. Remove the screw and put a longer one in and keep screwing until the rotor pops off. Light tapping with a hammer helps. My 2 cents.

The recommendation is to open up the bleeder screw so that you don't drive the brake fluid in reverse and cause damage to the ABS module.

Good work. Some helpful tips: remove the caliper first from the caliper mounting bracket to make the reinstall much easier. This can be done by removing the two bolts that have a spring under them on the back of the caliper. Upon reinstalling the pads slide it not the mounting bracket and your caliper slides on easily. Also you can use a bungee cord to hang the caliper from the suspension. Then torque the caliper bolts to 20 ft pounds and the caliper mounting bracket bolts to 140 ft pounds. And the screw in the middle of the hub is referred to as a torx screw. Lastly your wheel lug nuts are torqued to 140 ft pound. Please use a torque wrench especially on safety pieces such as brakes.

Awesome. Thanks for the tutorial. Helps me make the switch this weekend.

Thanks for the video, it gave me confidence and helped me see my way through the job. BTW your background music. Lol gotta love it.

Nice vid, i've used an older valve removal clamp for years pushing the piston back

Great video but telling us the size of the bolts and the torx would be really helpful. Is it metric or standard? Either way I wanna say thanks I appreciate it!

Thanks buddy now I should have no problem changing my wife’s rotors

What size sockets will I need for the caliper

Good video, but should always name what tools you need prior to start. Bit other than that.. thanks

I am about to change mine. Is it better to clean the rust behind the rotor? Just curious. It looks kinda funky

what's the size of the bolt inside the rotor

Hi thanks for sharing is it the same for the back brakes...?

There's no need to clean the rotor all that gets filthy as soon as you drive it in the rain

Take time and find the correct way to replace brake and rotors a lot of step you miss

2:10 if that hose is soooooooooo delicate why do they use it on such a critical part of the car?

Change them and still making noise on one side

Those are some pretty big bolts and you did not mention the size and I want to guess the most people came here to find out what the size are so we can go buy the tool

That screw that holds the rotors on isnt that easy to remove, I broke 2 torx sockets, i had to drill the screw out,,,,, smh
