just a tip for all you first timers trying this at home. It might not be as easy as he makes it look in the video for you to do on your own. He does an excellent job but keep in mind he is condensing a 2-3 hr procedure into a 20 min video. be sure you have all the proper tools.. most japanese cars use metric fasteners.. YOU WILL NEED METRIC TOOLS! finding the closest US tool isnt gonna cut it, especially for those super tight bracket bolts that you need to hit with a hammer. make sure you have good lighting and have someone do it with you if it is your first time. also keep in mind that you could encounter something that you may not be equipped to fix such as a seized caliper and then you will be stuck. just things to consider before you dig yourself into a pile of manure and with that best of luck

A seized caliper is not a big problem, plenty of videos that show how to replace those as well.

Just a suggestion for all of you starters. If you have a junkyard in your area that allows you to pull your own parts (you pull and save) go out there for a couple of hours and “change” the rotors and pads there. Pull them off, put them on. Gather confidence.

You know, I used to be anxious about messing about with car mechanics despite loving cars. This week I did my first service (oil, filters, plugs) on a family members car thanks to videos on KZfaq. I thought that's about where I'd stop, but I watch this videos and think to myself... Hey, I've got most of the tools now. I'll just keep my old second car and use it to teach myself more. Thanks Chris for these easy to understand videos, they really put a lot of confidence in us newbies to attempt work. I'd never risk safety and have a couple of good garages should I ever mess up and need a hand. After doing the servicing last week I'm convinced I'll never need to pay anybody to do oil/filters/plugs on any car I own again. We've got all the knowledge we need to learn how to do things right here, for free! Gotta love it.

Depending on wear, I usually re-surface the rotors 3 times (as long as there's enough material) before I replace them. Disc brakes usually cost me around $50 over all (including brake cleaner), for the front two, with OEM pads. Your local brake shop should be able to re-surface your rotors for about $20 each, if you don't have a machine in your shop.

Chris, a couple other tips: don’t forget to grease the end tabs on the brake pads with high-temp brake grease; spray the rotors off one last time with brakleen to get remaining grease smudges off; and don’t don’t forget to ‘seat’ or ‘bed’ your new brakes for max life and even wear.

I know how to do all of this but is just for all of the small stuff that you learn. I’ve been using high temperature grease and never thought to use silicone for the guide pins! Great video!

Nice video, thanks Chris! One comment, be sure to clean both sides of the brake rotor with Brake Clean before installing it. You can just spray them in the cardboard box that they came in. Chris only cleaned the front side of the brake rotor. He should have cleaned the back side as well.

Chris, I can't simply can't comprehend what makes you show this invaluable vehicle repair, If I may say so, many people will gain from your virtue For me it's a mere bonus figuring days how to fit the thick shoe brakes between the Rims of the Drum Brakes. God knows what is next+ Thank you.

Thanks, this helped a lot! I've been hearing that squealing sound from the indicator for about three months now! I think I'll finally replace the brake pads tomorrow.

Nice quick video... I've never done my brakes before, but am definitely not new to working on my truck/equipment. Very easy to fallow what needed to be done, and quickly figured out why I grinded to a hualt.

Chris thanks to this video I was able to get my pads replaced on my own. They wanted 200 dollars to replace them for me. I spent around 150 for ratchet set, screwdrivers, Tool box, brake spreader, torque wrench, jack stands, and the pads. Keep up the great work. Look forward to replacing all kinds of things.

Great video Chris! Just changed the pads on my 08 ranger. Great tips on cleaning the rotor before hand. Also to anyone whose now to car work make sure you use metric on this job, also my nuts were a little rusty which made it seem like the right size nut did not fit on the bolt, had to clean the bolts to get the right nut in there and I'm certain I would have rounded off the bolts if I hadn't. So other dudes recommended using a practice vehicle at a junk yard to get some reps in before doing it on your car and I think this is a great idea!

Very helpful video !! This is the first thing I've ever changed on any vehicle besides a tire and battery, and was done in two hours. Only thing was when trying driving the first pump of the brake did not do much but second and third pumps. A friend said I might have a little bit of air and to undo the brake line slightly and let a little bit of fluid out as there was a little air pressure. Retightened the line and was good to go !! ✌🏻
